THE AFTERIMAGE LYRICS

1. Prologue

[Instrumental]

2. Reverie

In this walk of life, we reveal our need to satisfy.
We built up these walls.
Foundations of shame, jealousy and pain.

The thoughts, the memories they flow away with time.
You live in fear. You live on illusions.
But the question of guilt lies on your fucking hands.

I called out your fucking name.
Where have you been?

Rest in peace.
Redemption is far.
Redemption is so far away.

My heart has become leaden with your thoughts.
My heart has become leaden.

This place shall become your grave.
Your entity, it strives on defeat and pain.

I've been given two options but I'm sorry I won't take both.
I will pour out my soul into one call.

3. Shallows

I am motionless.

The currents they seem to call to me.
But all I hear are the voices of the dead.
I have scoured the earth without direction,
Only to find my fate was severed, anyway.

I have no intention of leaving this water untouched.
Another day, another fucking night.
I'll leave my dreams with the ocean.

Ideas inflamed, roar through my brain.
Drown my hollow hopes so I'll learn to look ahead.
This is the truth that was relayed to me.

The currents they seem to call to me.
But all I hear are the voices of the dead.
I have scoured the earth without direction,
Only to find my fate was severed, anyway.
I will scour the earth.
I will scour the earth without direction.

I will be rewarded for my cowardice.
I'll fade with the rest of this fucking world.
Return to dust.

Tears of regret cannot turn back the hands of time.
Nonetheless, we do not deserve to call ourselves the kings and queens of this world.

Open your eyes and look upon those who have broken you.

Open your eyes.
And look upon the broken.
Open your eyes.
If you want to stand a chance.

You are but dust carried on a desert wind
Why do you cling so desperately to your humanity?

4. The Void

I felt the presence of hate but I never thought I'd embrace it.
Here is the enemy that has taken control.
An enemy that has haunted my soul.

I am absent minded.
Free me from myself.
Free me.

I burnt these bridges.

Show me the way out.
Then show me the way out.
Show me the way out.
Show me the world.

I'll be rid of this world. Free me from myself.

Who am I to say everything will be alright when we've ruptured the foundations.

I have become so bitter.
I don't think I can create my own destiny.
Who am I to say everything will be alright, when I've ruptured the foundations.

The countless times we'll fall.

You've become, you've become.

You've become the Void in my life.

But you had all the answers, you had them.
You had all the answers.
You have a sense of formless importance.
