Trapped in maze, trembling fear, head scorched brow perish the land. Verse 1: Brann Dailor
Show yourself Show yourself I want to see everything you're made of Tear it down and rip it out Shed your skin and float it down the river Lose yourself Lose yourself Wild horses ride you through the valley Come alive Come alive Sail into. Brent's other verse is a little weird but I saw it as the heros conflict between his will to continue his journey while being intimidated by the mountain. It's the skull tempting him with the promise of glory and reassuring him that he will have the power to make it. Infinite path carved with unrivaled skill. This is reflected with Troy's spoken word part at the end. The second verse and the line "they caught my killer, in my grave" in particular foreshadows that the skull is taking control of him slowly and it will force him to drive himself to his room to perch it atop blood mountain. The first part references the volcano that erupts as the hero climbs onward towards blood mountain. The maturity, I believe, comes from the band members personal lives in the past few years. I think each verse breaks down the story differently.
