about

The end had come. The second meteor that had threatened to shut down the world had made its impact. The ticking time bomb had reached its final digit.

Claude was finally awake after the impact. He makes his way outside of the compound that protected him and a few of the Vagabond rebels. Outside, the bustling, rainy city has been replaced with a barren sand-filled wasteland and a bright sun.

lyrics

Stumbling has turned to running.
Looking at his hands, cracks have formed.
Blood never falls, and his sacrifice is known.
Without the pressure, his spirit is shown.

Steady as she goes, the ticking time bomb
has reached its last three digits.
The tree stemming from the pain
continues to grow from his heart.

Reading has turned to seeing.
Looking at his hands, the cracks have healed.
The eyes of the weary onlookers
blink under the heat of his spirit.

Steady as she goes, the ticking time bomb
has reached its last two digits.
Flowers have formed from the pain
and continue to bloom from his heart.

Steady as she goes, the ticking time bomb
has reached its final number.
The fruit has fallen, relieving the pain;
releasing the chains holding his heart.
