Afterglow lyrics
by Assemblage 23
[Verse 1]
The snow is drifting, the ground is frozen
Another quiet winter night
“Incoming objects have been detected”
A sudden flash of brilliant light
[Chorus]
The sky is falling
In molten ribbons streaming down below
Our fate is calling
The children singing in the afterglow
[Verse 2]
The wind is fire, the ground is liquid
The churning oceans vaporized
The heavens darken, the world forsaken
A witness to our own demise
[Chorus]
The sky is falling
In molten ribbons streaming down below
Our fate is calling
The children singing in the afterglow
[Verse 3]
The ashes blow across the desert
The carcass of a ruined age
All our gold and all our wisdom
Against the Universe’s rage
