Soilwork
The Akuma Afterglow
[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
How long will I
Turn myself around this time
Can I revive?

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
How long will I
Turn myself around this time
Can I revive?

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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
