Description: SPARED by Pillar of Light is a profound examination of suffering, grief, and the glimmers of hope that emerge from the shadows. Their melancholic music progressively builds to a cathartic release—a purifying realization that offers weight and freedom. The song perfectly presents the album's theme of fighting hopelessness in search of purpose. The narrative of SPARED centers on a lone survivor of a massacre akin to a crusade, who, in an attempt to balance an existential scale, sets out on a path of vengeance before realizing that humanity is defined by an unavoidable cycle of violence.
