Song lyrics
[Hypnotherapist:]
You are once again surrounded by a brilliant white light
Allow the light to lead you away from your past and into this lifetime
As the light dissipates you will slowly fade back into consciousness,
Remembering all you have learned
When I tell you to open your eyes you will return to the present
Feeling peaceful and refreshed
Open your eyes Nicholas

[The Miracle:]
Friday evening
The blood still on my hands
To think that she would leave me now
For that ungrateful man

Sole survivor
No witness to the crime
I must act fast to cover up
I think that there`s still time

He'd seem hopeless and lost with this note
They`ll buy into the words that I wrote

"This feeling inside me
Finally found my love, I've finally broke free
No longer torn in two
I'd take my own life before losing you"

[Victoria:]
Feeling good this Friday afternoon
I ran into Julian
Said we'd get together soon

He's always had my heart
He needs to know
I'll break free of the Miracle
It's time for him to go

This feeling inside me
Finally found my love, I've finally broke free
No longer torn in two
He'd kill his brother if he only knew

Their love renewed
They'd rendezvous
In a pathway out of view
They thought no one knew
Then came a shot out of the night

(Open your eyes, Victoria)

[The Sleeper:]
One last time
We'll lay down today
One last time
Until we fade away
One last time
We'll lay down today
One last time
We fade away

As their bodies lie still
And the ending draws near
Spirits rise through the air
All their fears disappear, it all becomes clear
A blinding light comes into view
An old soul exchanged for a new
A familiar voice comes shining through...

[Nicholas:]
This feeling inside me
Finally found my life, I'm finally free
No longer torn in two
I learned about my life by living through you

This feeling inside me
Finally found my life, I'm finally free
No longer torn in two
Living my own life by learning from you

We'll meet again my friend someday soon...

this is indeed amazing just like most of dt songs, i think this song talks about a person who finds his wife cheating on him so he kills her and kills the guy she cheated with, puts them in the car trunk, drives away and then an accident happens and he dies or something like that.

anyway, love it

Ok I'll resume you the story since you don't seem to understand it quite well =P

The whole story is about passion crime, reincarnation and lies.

The story of Nicholas, living in the present, who finds out by an hypnotherapist that he is in fact the reincarnation of Victoria. He learns that this girl was murdered in 1928. He starts an investigation to finally know the true story. (All this happens before or during "Beyond this life"

Julian (the Sleeper) is going out with Victoria. But he falls into sin (not mentionned what kind of, probably gambbling or alchool) and she leaves him crying. So she goes at Edward house (called the Miracle) who is the brother of Julian and they have an adventure... you know what kind of. (This is talked about in "Home")

But she has remorses, so she sleeps with him "One last time".

Then "The spirit carries on", talks about Nicholas finally understand *almost* everything, because there are still things he doesn't know.

NOW ! "Finally free" makes it all clearer. First, notice the hypnotherapist talking and his last sentence. "Open your eyes, Nicholas".

Ok, now with the song. It talks about the whole story, what really happened. I personnaly cried when Victoria and Julian died with the "One last time"... . Please notice the "Open your eyes, Victoria"

And finally, the final punch ! Nicholas gets home, takes a drink, puts on music and sits in his rocking chair. Then you hear footsteps and "Open your eyes, Nicholas". Sooo what do we conclude ? The Hypnotherapist is the reincarnation of the Miracle and the static sound at then end means Nicholas was killed.

That's it guys, hoping I made it clearer

Let me just say that when Ed says "Open your eyes, Victoria," it is creepy as FUCK! Both his voice and what he's saying are just sooo off the deep end.
