Back in the day I never had to choose my way without a clue 

No need for a hand 

Unaware that I was dancing on the edge but wasn't a 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 

But I try to run away 



The gorge of the instant devours the future 

To spit it out as a fading memory 

Gimme the strenght 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 I 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 reveals 

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 afterglow... 



And you don't wanna see 

See that your eyes have come 

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

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 

Have to read in order just to understand 

Read so we can comprehend a trace of eternity 



Oh I feel like I'm to wander 



I can't fathorn 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 I 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
