Killing the Afterglow - Phoenix Effect

that I need time to look for my way

I need a stretch of open ground to see my way to hear the sound

Of my will wondering if I should stay

When your hand draws shadows

It’s killing the afterglow

I no longer know

Will the sun keep shining, If they shoot down the birds aflight from the zenith

to horizon

And now the moon has come to greet the dying earth beneath my feet

I feel close to the end of the day

So when it’s time for me to go, am I free or do I owe

My soul for my part in this play

Still your hand draws shadows,

Killing the afterglow

Why won’t it let go

Will the days keep dawning, If they send our children into the night taking

your poison

Breathe life into me now

I Need you to show me how

Breath life don’t hold me down

I need you to carry my crown

Will the days keep dawning

If they send our children into the night taking your poison

Still your hand is drawing the shadow

Why won’t you just it let glow

Bitter afterglow
