Afterglow - Lingua Mortis Orchestra

After so many centuries

It is not forgotten what has happened

All this mass hysteria, all that phobia

And what has changed about it

Are we now immune against this madness?

So much think the same, I would guess

I can still recall the echoes of the cries

And the traces all around

Fade in the afterglow

Behind the fire’s light

Wait the shadows of the night

Fade in the afterglow

Why is it that we always

Try to make somebody pay for misfortune

For our fears and for all our mistakes, we

Always forget the victims

All the legions we have sent to the slaughter

As if life means nothing we still play god

I can still recall the echoes of the cries

And the traces all around

Fade in the afterglow

Behind the fire’s light

Wait the shadows of the night

Fade in the afterglow

Out of the darkness, back into the light

It seems we still feel their pain

After so many years there’s still a memory

Maybe they died not in vain

There, behind the fire’s light…
