The Akuma Afterglow - Soilwork

Where is it all?

Where am I?

Only present to bleed, only present to die

Only scratching the joy, yet filled with desire

I will be turning my head off

I’ve made ways to forgive, I’ve made ways to forget

Ceasing the hours, made a friend I can reach

Can you hear how it’s calling?

I’ll make sure it’s not falling

How long will I

Turn myself around this time

Can I revive?

And then it came

Blood rushing straight through the eyes of pain

Moving up, getting sane

It feels the same

But times takes a toll on this buried flame

Lift me up, say my name

I was longing longing to feel it, crying for sleep

Finding the essence, burned by the heat

Given the answer, given the cause

Suddenly seeing, it was lost when I called

I’m crashing down — nothing to keep

Without a sound — I wed the weak

When it turns out the enemy’s loose

At the back of my mind it is twisting the truth

How long will I

Turn myself around this time

Can I revive?

And then it came

Blood rushing straight through the eyes of pain

Moving up, getting sane

It feels the same

But times takes a toll on this buried flame

Lift me up, say my name

The feeling surrounds me, bigger than pain

Awaken by loss, engaged to maintain

It might switch for all I know

I’ll let it drown in the afterglow

And then it came

Blood rushing straight through the eyes of pain

Moving up, getting sane

It feels the same

But times takes a toll on this buried flame

Lift me up, say my name
