Pharaoh - After The Fire lyrics

rate me

And then the war was done, <br />

All the dead were one, <br />

I found my eyes and<br />

They were useless in the sun.<br />

And with a blade I found, <br />

I cut a mountain down, <br />

I built a house where all<br />

The flames had touched the ground.<br />

<br />

Then all the stars fell from the sky; <br />

All lost at sea, the shipmen cry:<br />

Without the help of constellations in the night<br />

We're forced to fly by our own light.<br />

<br />

And when the sons have killed their fathers, <br />

And when the census of the dead is given up, <br />

And when the fire starts returning to the sun<br />

I take my place among the one.<br />

<br />

I've lost the world now, <br />

My heart is blind somehow.<br />

Every night I hear a crying in the wind.<br />

The ghost of soldiers dead, <br />

The ghost inside my head, <br />

Even ghosts of enemies begin to sound like friends<br />

<br />

Then all the stars fell from the sky; <br />

All lost at sea, the shipmen cry:<br />

Without the help of constellations in the night<br />

We're forced to fly by our own light.<br />

<br />

And when the sons have killed their fathers' fathers, <br />

And when the census of the dead is given up, <br />

And when the fire starts returning to the sun<br />

I take my place among the one.<br />

<br />

After the fire<br />

After the flight<br />

It's time to forget everything that you're thinking is right<br />

<br />

The fire burned alive, <br />

It's ashes filled my eyes, <br />

It's cinders left a hopeless hunger in my bones<br />

And some I've never known<br />

Their bodies paving stone, <br />

And I am left to walk an earth I call my own<br />

<br />

Then all the stars fell from the sky; <br />

All lost at sea, the shipmen cry:<br />

Without the help of constellations in the night<br />

We're forced to fly by our own light.<br />

<br />

And when the sons have killed themselves, <br />

And when the census of the dead is given up, <br />

And when the fire starts returning to the sun<br />

I take my place among the one.
