In this song, the narrator speaks to a former friend or fellow combatant, that has switched sides and was an enemy for some time. He now is missing, maybe on the run, maybe lost, but the narrator calls to him saying that there is no reason for them to be enemies, all is forgiven.
[Verse 1]
To the ends of this lost world
You have marched and you have sworn
To a tainted crown of thorns
As the hungry sails unfurl
We are thrusted from the shore
And it's you that we search for
[Pre-Chorus]
The blackest night
The midnight sun
The covered tracks and days spent on the run
The strangers we've become
[Chorus]
These whereabouts unknown
Please know you can come home
It's alright
I long for the moment
Our silence is broken
It's all right
It's all right
It's all right
[Verse 2]
Another place, another time
We toed the same side of the line
Yeah we saw eye to eye
Even then the saddest sounds
Were nothing laughter could not drown
But we are not laughing now
[Pre-Chorus]
I see your face
In my sights
I hesitate
And then look for a sign
Somewhere in the sky
[Chorus]
These whereabouts unknown
Please know you can come home
It's alright
I long for the moment
Our silence is broken
It's all right
It's all right
It's all right
[Bridge]
Even together, we stand apart
Swallow the sun, erase the sky
An invitation that's been declined
Where did you go?
Where did you go?
[Chorus]
Your whereabouts unknown
Please know you can come home
It's alright
I long for the moment
Our silence is broken
It's all right
It's all right
It's all right
[Outro]
It's alright now
It's alright now
'Cause all is forgiven
If you could just listen
It's all right
It's all right
