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

 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 [bad word] is set as far as I know
 Time and again the sundown it screams my name
 But I try [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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

[Solo]

 So you don't wanna see
 You realize that your senses [bad word] to the edge
 And you don't [bad word] a single one
 Don't wanna turn your inside towards the sky
 Are we afraid to catch a glimpse of [bad word] 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 [bad word]  To a point where you don't see why and where do [bad word]  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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] a trace of eternity
 Have to read in order just to understand
 Read so we [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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
