While not directly answered by Tim Lambesis in any published form, Forever is a song about the bands devotion to Christ. The song describes the exact moment when [Tim] put his ultimate faith in God – captured by the line “I gave my heart away”. Faith is the complete trust or confidence in someone...
Forever your eyes will hold the memory
I saw your heart as it overtook me
We tried so hard to understand and reason
But in that one moment I gave my heart away
I gave my heart away
In that moment I gave my heart away
In that moment I gave my heart away
With that perfect breath where my mind lay beside me
And all I knew is what had overtaken me
With no reason I am comforted by inability to understand
Forever your eyes will hold the memory
I saw your heart as it overtook me
We tried so hard to understand and reason
But in that one moment I gave my heart away
I gave my heart away
In that moment I gave my heart away
In that moment I gave my heart away
Forever your eyes will hold the memory
Forever your eyes will hold the memory
Forever your eyes will hold the memory
When I wake from this dream
Will your smile still open my heart
And leave me transparent?
When I wake from this dream
Will your smile still open my heart
And leave me transparent?
