Alight in the Aftermath

Lyrics

[Intro] Then they came in shapes and dreams Visions wrapped in smoke and steam Spoke to me in twisted tongues Words that burned inside my lungs [Verse 1] Then they came to bring the end Infiltrate and then transcend Whispers from the dawn of time Spiritual but not divine [Chorus] Where is the meaning to all that's left behind If I walk down that path? From the beginning, we kept our souls entwined Alight in the aftermath [Verse 2] Then they came like rain and wind Flesh can't hold the truth within There's no guilt, no one to blame Spirit travels without name [Pre-Chorus] And if the flame enlightens me Will it relieve me of my needs? To come alive, free from existence Escape the emptiness where I was born [Solo] [Verse 3] They come as travelers Through astral planes, diverting time The great unravelers Of all that's hidden in your mind [Bridge] I lift my gaze Into the fire beyond This wondrous phase It will not last for long Embrace this dawn Like I once held you You'll know before My time is due [Verse 4] Then they came at no small cost They alone knew what I'd lost After birth communiqué This time, fire lights the way [Chorus] Where is the meaning to all that's left behind If I walk down that path? From the beginning, we kept our souls entwined Alight in the aftermath
