about

After finally escaping the room he's lived all his life, The Scavenger must now experience the outside world in all of its beauty and horror for the first time. Realizing that there isn't a place for him in this world, he retreats underground. He must find her.

lyrics

Reach out beyond the light
Look to the world for the very first time
Witness the sight of a heavenly being
That beckons you forward to break yourself free

The wandering scavenger
Finally free from his keyless cage
(Out of the dark)
Now he embarks
Searching the earth
For his sweet seraphim

All that he knows is that
He's on top of the world
Finally able to look up and see
The sun set and rise
He's still searching for the melody the one from his childhood dreams

He keeps pressing on
But struggles to find
The godly guardian angel that will bring him peace of mind
With nowhere to go, and nowhere to hide
He quickly learns that everything is dangerous outside

Lurking around
Avoid the light
Only night gives temporary solace
Stay underground
There's no one to fear
But you know you'll never find her hiding here

Hidden away
Keep on searching for the one who set you free,
Free from your cage
Tread the earth until you cross her path again
And bask in her grace
Crumble to your knees and pray

Don't come near me
Don't revere me
Pray to someone else
Cause I am
Not your savior
Or salvation
Leave me be
Please have you lost your mind

Our lonesome scavenger is turned away
He lost the chance to thank his savior
Never will he face the girl again

Wandering far to find his way back home
He takes a long solemn look at the sky
Where the sun wake from sleeping in
And the moon goes to bed with the stars

He was at the top
The top of the world
Had his heart
Entirely unfurled
Determined now to see her once again
To make his amends
He will save her from the unforgiving world
That he had to bear (bear on his own)
He won't rest until he saves the angel he's been searching for
