“Heavenbound” is a track which deals with the loss of a friend, but more specifically, the track is an acknowledgment of the differing journeys associated with death.
Frontman Sebastian Fox in an interview with The Line Of Best Fit:
“Heavenbound” deals with the loss of a friend. More specifically...
[Verse 1]
I will see you again
When the pendulum ends
My old friend
For now
The dark fills my ears
Freyja fulfils my fears
Speak and she appears
May the gods gather around
To the thunderous sound
Of your gallows heavenbound
[Chorus]
You run free
Sail on, sail on now
Don't wait for me
Sail on, it won't be long now
[Verse 2]
The dark tore us apart
Left two halves
One hammering heart
Shards of you each day
Succumb to their fate now embrace
The bold tideless waves
[Chorus]
You run free
Sail on, sail on now
Don't wait for me
Sail on, it won't be long now
[Outro]
Don't wait for me
Sail on, sail on now
Don't wait for me
Sail on, sail on now
Don't wait for me
Sail on, sail on now
