Back in the day I never had to choose my way

Without a clue

No need for a hand

Unaware I was dancing on the edge

But wasn't due

Oh, serene's the sea behind me

Into the whirl of devil time

A gentle rocking, then a crack in the cradle

You're asleep until you hit the ground

One for this road and another for after?

Someone tell me: what's yer 'after' all about?

From ease to the sky

Until the world gets in the way

Ring in the age: countdown to zero

Chasing the afterglow

The outcome is set as far as I know

Time and again the sundown it screams my name

Buy I try and turn away

The gorge of the instant devours the future

To spit it out as a fading memory

Gimme the strength to defy contradiction

When my mindset fails to let me see

Will I travel on

And longing pave the road?

Ring in the age: countdown to zero

Chasing the afterglow

The outcome is set as far as they know

Is it the end or maybe the outset

Or just a stage of a whole that I can't survey

Time and again it's screaming my name

So you don't wanna see

You realize that your senses have come to the edge

And you don't trust a single one

Don't wanna turn your inside towards the sky

Are we afraid to catch a glimpse of truth tonight?

Could the heavens reveal what's inside the afterglow?

Is this light just based on perception now?

Or do I refuse to perceive what is hard to ignore?

From ease through fire into the afterglow

And you don't wanna see

See that your eyes have come

To a point where you don't see why and where you run

Will you turn your inside towards the sky

You're scared to death by what your heart may see tonight

Pictures of void burn in the afterglow

Purification or just a perception now?

Will you refuse to feel what you can't ignore

From ease through fire into afterglow

I look up in search of forever and wonder

Trying to make out that day

That I had to give my inherent

Spiritual juvenility away and again:

Why is it made so difficult for us to read the signs that we

Have to read in order just to understand

Read so we can comprehend a trace of eternity

I look up in search of forever and wonder

Trying to make out that day

I had to give my inherent

spiritual juvenility away and again:

Why is it made so difficult for us

to read the signs that we

Have to read in order just to understand

Read so we can comprehend a trace of eternity

Have to read in order just to understand

Read so we can comprehend a trace of eternity

Oh, I fell like I'm to wander

I can't fathom but I'm bound to journey on

Oh, eternally I'll wander

I'm a spiritual eternal wayfarer, oh

I try to look as far as the eye can see

Past and beyond the dark painted wall, oh

Ring in the age: countdown to zero

Chasing the afterglow

The outcome is set as far as they know

Is it the end or maybe the outset

Or just a stage of a whole that I can't survey

Time and again it's screaming my name
