Can anybody explain to me the lyrics of "Towards the Blue Horizon"?

In particular the last two stanzas:

Where are you now my friend?
I miss those days
I hope they take good care
Of you there
And you can still play the guitar
And sing your songs

I just miss those days
And miss you so
Wish I could be strong
When darkness comes

Ok that is scary.......BTW the new album has really been a great addition to my collection. The whole album has this dark theme, very Anathema like.

This statement appeared on the band's website on Thursday, March 3rd:

Quote "

On behalf of the family and our own we would like to thank everyone for the support and your presence in those difficult moments. Piotr passed away unexpectedly of natural causes (sudden cardiac arrest) on Sunday morning (21st February). We have remained with emptiness and open wounds which need time to heal. For obvious reasons we have decided to cancel all concerts confirmed for this year. At the same time we would like to inform you that we are going to carry out this year releases scheduled for late spring and autumn 2016.

Thank you for your support."


So, now we know everything... Unhappy

"Music is much like f**king, but some composers can't climax and others climax too often, leaving themselves and the listener jaded and spent."

Gosh, nobody saw it coming. Too young, waaaay too young. Again, my heart goes out to his family, friends and loved ones, Piotr will be missed, and, indeed, a very, VERY hard act to follow.

I bought the Reality Dream Trilogy box set in Piotr's honor.

I've been pretty hurt by this news for the last couple of weeks. It's time I honored one of the finest emotional guitar soloist this planet has to offer. Just 41 as well? Gosh that's so young.

I think maybe the band new Pitor was sick or something cause Towards the blue horizon is waaaay to prophetic lyrically to be without prior knowledge of PG's health.
Gimmie my headphones now!!! 🎧🤣

I understand it was a heart attack, totally unexpected. The song "Towards the blue Horizon" was about a very close friend from Mariuz that died the same or the year before the album was released. And now this happens...
