about
After The Dreamer’s realization of what was going on and he managing to wake up, he finally breaks free of The Lullaby’s curse. He gains consciousness in a hospital bed with The Lily sitting next to him. He realizes however that he is unable to move. He can hear what’s going on in the room and a dialogue that is taking place about his condition. Yet he cannot move a muscle, nor can he open his eyes.
He learns the biggest lesson of his life, to not live life in regret, to always try to look forward and to always keep on going. Because otherwise, we’ll all go through our own version of The Corrupted Lullaby.
The Dreamer’s decisions made him learn an important lesson. Yet, it is too late for him to heal from the state he’s in. He eventually opens up his eyes right before his final breath. The Lily, being next to him, notices and stares right back at him. With his last strength, he tells The Lily that he doesn’t have much time left. He tells her to move on and to not allow her memory of him to keep her from living her life. The way she has spent a long time already, hoping to finally win The Dreamer’s heart. Through this, he may rescue her from eventually ending up in his same position as he did, once he is gone out of her life. The Dreamer then passes away on an autumn day, just like The Rose did fifteen years ago.
At the end of the song, as a hidden track, we hear The Lily having a conversation with her future son while putting him to bed. This event is taking place 8 years after The Dreamer passed away, where The Lily’s son is around 7 years old. He asks his mom about his father and if it’s true that his father is in heaven. The Lily, caught by surprise, replies that she doesn’t know. The Lily’s son then asks whether or not he will meet daddy in heaven; to which The Lily replies that there may be other ways to meet him.
This final scene of the story reveals that Lily’s son is also the son of The Dreamer. He impregnated The Lily during the scene that takes place in ‘Elysium’ where he makes love to The Rose in the dream world but to The Lily in reality. After The Dreamer’s passing, The Lily apparently also found The Lullaby in his home. Instinctively, she had listened to it, founding out about its secrets and powers. While The Lily had experienced her own dream world, she had quickly figured many things out. She understood that what The Dreamer went through must have had to do with the powers of this melody. In realizing this and making the connection to what happened to him, she learns to never get addicted to the dream world.
During the upcoming years, she realized that The Lullaby can be used safely, if one has the right mindset when entering and preferably, with supervision. Because of her son’s big dream of meeting her father, The Lily has been keeping the box ’til one day, maybe allowing him a safe trip into the other world.
And thus, the story of The Corrupted Lullaby goes on…
lyrics
[The Dreamer:]
Light not far ahead
It shines through the fading mist
Could this be the way?
I slowly feel warmer
The clouds of rain are gone
I’m somehow gaining back myself
Oh, this familiar voice next to me
Yet I can’t see a thing
I now realize
My state and condition through
The words of doctors and Lily
Now I have returned
For how long I don’t know
Is it too late for me to wake up?
For once in my life
I’ll let go of myself
I see now through Lily’s eyes
What I’ve done myself
The years she might spend alone
I must make sure to reach her
Before it’ll be too late
Our dreams, this lullaby
Shows to heal and be sealed
Yet I, became so blind
Now I see
She was always there for me
Lily
I’m sorry
Forgive me
Forgive me
Life, this endless trip
Over valleys and hills
Hope always finds a way
Let go of the past
A new chapter awaits
The blank page is always there
To fill with stories yet untold
Freedom’s calling
Go on
My dearest Lily
Reach a new dawn
Freedom’s calling
For both of us
I now bid you farewell
It is time for me to go
Hear my whisper in the wind
It will show you the way
Now it is time
To let go of myself
The pain now through Lily’s eyes
I hope you’ll understand
My eyes open suddenly
A silent message of a thousand words
And now through her eyes
I now realize
A new hope has been restored
Through the Lullaby
And I’ll carry on
In this world through you

Although the 3 guest vocalists on this album sing wonderfully, and the songs are diverse and creative, I still prefer the voice of Peter Falconer. Still, I highly recommend this album, aware that my preference is somewhat of a bias. Some of the guitar playing on here is incredible. Despite the new vocalists, the sound of this album is still distinctly Drifting Sun. Personally, I give it 7.5/10. Alrihkh
