================

This section of the song describes a perfect world that we can see but never be a part of. Many of us are here because of being rejected by the real world in some way, and we find sanctuary in a fictional perfect place. But while we can escape for a time, this can't give us a solution because of never being real.

I needed a different kind of transition this time, and went for a sudden bass solo after the climax at the end, that gradually becomes heavier and builds up again into the next section. I was a bit unsure about this part, but people seem to have liked it!

[Lyrics]

There is a world that I can see
A place where I can never be
It's always near to me but never within reach

It is a world we'll never meet
Born to be perfect, without hate
Your outer form and inner beauty are the same

Rejected by the world
Accepted just in fantasy
A place where no one ever dies
And trapped by who I am
I must remain here on the ground
While my mind soars through the sky

Such a pleasant torture
I am shown it in my dreams
There is a place where I can never be
All the world before me
Seeing through another's eyes
And once again it fades away
I fade away

With no desire to be cruel
Disease and harm left far behind
To be a part of it, this heaven floods my mind

Rejected by the world
Accepted just in fantasy
A place where no one ever dies
And trapped by who I am
I must remain here on the ground
While my mind soars through the sky

Such a pleasant torture
I am shown it in my dreams
There is a place where I can never be
All the world before me
Seeing through another's eyes
And once again it fades away

And we share one eternity
Building the world in our hearts
We can capture infinity
And bring it to ourselves
