Arcane · Unturning

Been a fan of this album for 5 years now, what an intelligently composed and at the same time incredibly humane, compassionate prog record. But holy crap if I'm actually stupid. It finally occured to me that the "bury hate with the coward" line in the lyrics corresponds to the "two graves" theme woven into the first half of the lyrics. That's what they are for in the end, not for the lyrical protagonist and the 'brother' character.

Also, the way line "I will dig two graves for us" and the rest of the chorus being delivered in this gentle, caressing tone gives me shivers every single time.
