about

It's amazing how the beginning of this track segues perfectly from the previous one. "The Breath of Gloria," which was 82bpm ended on a C-sharp minor triad. "Last of the Survivors" starts on the same chord at 164bpm (double the tempo). What makes it more interesting is the fact that the surface rhythm of this track is straight eighth-note-triplets, a 3:2 ratio from the steady eighth-note texture that permeated the previous song. To make it more interesting, the highest guitar pitch is a G-sharp, which also forms a 3:2 ratio with the C-sharp. It's fun how things like this work out, as this was not planned!

lyrics

[Music: Rossetti, Lyrics: Barton]

Last of the Survivors
Drawn to lands of lost
Capacity of mind
For a bitter cost

The deathly go to waste
Upon the spoiling lands
Overdrawn memory of
Decay upon hands

Finally
Eyes have dawned
The peace of mind
and sanity gone
For the blind
Never see
The sweet taste of
death eternally

Enchantment of voices
Between every thought
A young man in struggle
His world torn apart

Mistake of confessions
Survivor of the... (the end)
Heaven will not wait for
The dark hearts of men

Hearts of men...

Finally
Eyes have dawned
The peace of mind
and sanity gone
For the blind
Never see
The sweet taste of
death eternally

Finally
Eyes have dawned
The peace of mind
and sanity gone
For the blind
Never see
The sweet taste of
death eternally
