Afterglow

Breaking through the veil of grey Finding color in the fray Every spark we leave behind Burns a map across the mind Static fades and systems fall Hear the universe’s call We were built from dust and flame Nothing here will stay the same Hold your breath Feel the thunder Tear the quiet All asunder Meet me in the afterglow Where the ashes learn to fly We are not the ghosts of sorrow We are lightning in the sky Leave the weight of earth below us Let the velvet dark unfold In the space between two heartbeats We are braver than the cold Silent cities, vacant skies See the phoenix in our eyes Every wound becomes a door To a place we were before We're the echo in the stone We're the warmth that's never known Even gravity must bend When the beginning meets the end No past No regret Only the fire That hasn't hit yet No chains No lies Only the stars Behind our eyes Meet me in the afterglow Where the dying embers feed If the night becomes eternal We will plant a different seed We're the tremor in the stillness We're the answer they can't find When the final curtain shatters We'll be running out of time Into the light We remain We remain Burning Again
