Pilgrim - Lyrics - Pain Of Salvation

Pain of Salvation is a Swedish progressive metal rock band led by Daniel GildenlÃ¶w, who is the band's main songwriter, lyricist, guitarist, and vocalist. Pain of Salvation's sound is characterised by riff-oriented guitar work, a broad vocal range, oscillation between heavy and calm passages, syncopation, and polyrhythms. Thus far, every album released by the band has been a concept album. Lyrically, the band tends to address contemporary issues, such as sexuality, war, the environment, and the nature of God, humanity, and existence.

The higher I am reaching, the closer to the sun The more I learn, the less I know for sure For each machine I'm leaving, I find a bigger one For each step I turn wiser than before But it's burning me Pilgrim, where are you going? Pilgrim, your roads turning bleak Pilgrim, true to your knowing But what will you pay for the Grail that you seek? Though these roads seem endless And life seems out of reach The roads I left were better off unwalked If I had just been stronger If I had dared to see Maybe I would not have had to go this far But still I won't give in Pilgrim, where are you going? Pilgrim, your roads turning bleak Pilgrim, this quest is your calling The curtains are falling Pilgrim, pilgrim Pilgrim, where are you going? And who sets the price on the answers you seek?
