Why?

(Albert)
After all that's been said and done
I remember when it all began
Al this pain, deep inside of me  
Tell me: how could I've known? 

This was much more than i could bear
Far from my loved ones and left to stray
I just knew this was the best way out, I know no one will understand...

(Albert's wife)
How could you do this to all of us?
How could you do this to our beloved son?
All these memories
That I still keep inside
Will haunt me 'till the day I die

(Albert)
How could you know that I was in pain? 
I tried to leave the dark behind
I wish I could be free again

(Albert)
Late at night it would stare at me
Asking, if I’d ever, ever dare
Or would I fail as I did with them? 
Would you hear the darkness; would you ever learn?

Hope was something I could not afford 
Should I ask for help? Should I ask for more?
This is it, now the time has come
Should I let her win? of course, the darkness understands!! 

And that night under a pale moonlight
I let go of the ones I loved 

Don't ask me why 
‘Cause I know you will not understand
All of our lives
Are just a blink in the vast wheels of time
And in the end 
All the things we seek don't matter the most
Don't ask me why, just let me go!!! just let me go!!!

(Albert)
Have you forgotten your broken son?
Another sacrifice on a mountain top?
A deafening silence
An absent father of 
A lost and hurting son 

(The Light)
I gave you free will, my hands are tied
You didn't listen, you stubborn child!!
Judgement day awaits!

Why?

Second single off our conceptual debut album "1972" to be released in 2022. 

In this part of the story, Albert's mother goes back in time to reveal the pain she carries as she had to leave her son behind to look for better chances for her family in the city. A drama many people have been through following the rural flight. A mother holds so much love that losing a son means losing a part of herself forever. Healing is hard, forgetting is impossible. The song "Your last breath" is now available on all streaming platforms along with its videoclip.
