An afterglow is a broad high arch of whitish or rosy light appearing in the sky due to very fine particles of dust suspended in the high regions of the atmosphere. An afterglow may appear above the highest clouds in the hour of deepening twilight, or reflected from the high snowfields in mountain regions long after sunset. The particles produce a scattering effect upon the component parts of white light.
After the eruption of the volcano Krakatoa in 1883, a remarkable series of red sunsets appeared worldwide. These were due to an enormous amount of exceedingly fine dust blown to a great height by the volcano's explosion, and then globally diffused by the high atmospheric currents. Edvard Munch's painting The Scream possibly depicts an afterglow during this period.

Sarah Ann McLachlan, OC, OBC (born January 28, 1968) is a Canadian musician, singer and songwriter. Known for her emotional ballads and mezzo-soprano vocal range, as of 2009, she has sold over 40 million albums worldwide. McLachlan's best-selling album to date is Surfacing, for which she won two Grammy Awards (out of four nominations) and four Juno Awards. In addition to her personal artistic efforts, she founded the Lilith Fair tour, which showcased female musicians. The Lilith Fair concert tours took place from 1997 to 1999, and resumed in the summer of 2010. Since 2006 she has also been known as a highly visible supporter of the ASPCA, as well as various other charities.
Sarah McLachlan was born on January 28, 1968, and adopted in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. As a child, she took voice lessons, along with studies in classical piano and guitar. When she was 17 years old and still a student at Queen Elizabeth High School, she fronted a short-lived rock band called The October Game. One of the band's songs, "Grind", credited as a group composition, can be found on the independent Flamingo Records release Out of the Fog and the CD Out of the Fog Too. It has yet to be released elsewhere. Her high school yearbook predicted that she was "destined to become a famous rock star."
John Anthony Frusciante i/fruːˈʃɑːnteɪ/; born March 5, 1970) is an American guitarist, singer, songwriter, record and film producer. He is best known as the former guitarist of the rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers, with whom he had been for a number of years and recorded five studio albums. Frusciante has an active solo career, having released ten albums under his own name, as well as two with Josh Klinghoffer and Joe Lally as Ataxia. His solo recordings include elements ranging from experimental rock and ambient music to New Wave and electronica. Influenced by guitarists of various genres, Frusciante emphasizes melody and emotion in his guitar playing, and favors vintage guitars and analog recording techniques.
Frusciante joined the Red Hot Chili Peppers at eighteen years old, first appearing on the band's 1989 album, Mother's Milk. The group's follow-up album, Blood Sugar Sex Magik (1991), was a breakthrough success. However, he was overwhelmed by the band's new popularity and quit in 1992. He became a recluse and entered a long period of drug addiction, during which he released his first solo recordings: Niandra Lades and Usually Just a T-Shirt (1994) and then Smile from the Streets You Hold (1997). In 1998, he successfully completed drug rehabilitation and rejoined the Red Hot Chili Peppers with the album Californication (1999). His album To Record Only Water for Ten Days was made in 2001. On a creative spree, Frusciante released six solo albums in 2004; each album explored different recording techniques and genres. In 2009, Frusciante released The Empyrean and again parted ways with the Red Hot Chili Peppers. As of 2011, Frusciante is currently working on his eleventh solo album. Frusciante has produced and/or recorded with the Wu-Tang Clan, The Mars Volta, George Clinton and others. His most recent solo releases will be a 5 song EP entitled Letur-Lefr, due out in July 2012, and a full length album entitled PBX Funicular Intaglio Zone, due out in late 2012.
Josh Adam Klinghoffer (born October 3, 1979) is an American multi-instrumentalist, who is best known as the current guitarist and backing vocalist for the rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers. Klinghoffer replaced his friend and frequent collaborator John Frusciante, who left the band in 2009. Klinghoffer was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with the Red Hot Chili Peppers on April 14, 2012, becoming the Hall of Fame's youngest-ever inductee.
Klinghoffer also fronts Dot Hacker, and was a member of Ataxia (alongside Frusciante), The Bicycle Thief and Warpaint. He most commonly plays guitar or drums, and sings backup as well as lead. He has also both recorded and toured as a session musician with Gnarls Barkley, Sparks, PJ Harvey, Beck, The Butthole Surfers, Golden Shoulders and Vincent Gallo amongst others.
Dropping out of formal education at age of 15, Klinghoffer became involved in performing and recording music in Los Angeles at an early age. Klinghoffer describes himself at this time as "[the] little music dork who lived around the corner, dropped out of high school, and was just playing guitar all day long." In 1997, at the age of seventeen, Klinghoffer joined The Bicycle Thief, the then-current project from former Thelonious Monster frontman Bob Forrest. Red Hot Chili Peppers vocalist Anthony Kiedis noted that, "Bob [Forrest] has always had a very keen sensibility about finding extremely talented and down-to-earth people who just want to get to a kitchen and write a song." The band's subsequent studio album, You Come and Go Like a Pop Song, marked Klinghoffer's first recording experience. Regarding bandmate Forrest's notorious drug addiction, which arguably stalled Thelonious Monster's commercial success, Klinghoffer stated at this time that he: "Pretty much had enough confidence in myself to know that I wasn't gonna be 'the next Bob Forrest'."
I hold your hand and feel your fingers shaking
I wonder what is going through your mind
The only sound we hear is each other breathing
And I can tell we're starting to unwind
You're starring at the painting by the window
And I know that your mind is far away
I reach for you and you move even closer
That makes it easy cos words are hard to say
Afterglow just keeps coming
Lying here with you
Afterglow my mind keeps running
Through a fantasy for two
We both know there's no other
Feeling that makes our love grow
Like love's afterglow
You turn now you're looking into my eyes
I see you like I never could before
I hear you making sounds that say I love you
Like the dust that settles all around me
I must find a new home, home
The ways and holes that used to give me shelter
They're all as one to me now
Oh but I, I would search everywhere
Just to hear your call
Oh walk upon stranger roads than this one
In a world I used to know before, yes I miss you more
Than the sun reflecting off my pillow
Bringing the warmth of new life
And the sound that echoed all around me
That I caught a glimpse of in the night
Oh, but now, now I've lost everything
I give to you, give to you my soul
And the meaning of all that I believed before
Escapes me in this world of none, no thing and no one
Oh but I would search everywhere
Just to hear, hear your call
And walk upon stranger roads than this one
In a world I used to know before
Oh but now now now now I've lost everything
I give to you, I give to you my soul
And the meaning of all that I believed before
Escapes me in this world of none, yes I miss you more

*Lyrics below the line
=====================================
Here I am
Lost in the light of the moon that comes thru my window
Bathed in blue
The walls of my memories divides the thorns from the roses
it's you and the roses
Touch me and I will follow
In your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
As I let you go
I will find my way, when I see your eyes
Now I'm living
In your afterglow
Here I am
Lost in the ashes of time
But who wants tomorrow
In between
The longing to hold you again
I'm caught in your shadow
I'm losing control
My mind drifts away
We only have today
Touch me and I wil follow
In your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
As I let you go
I will find my way, I will sacrifice
Til the blinding day, when I see your eyes
Now I'm Living
In Your Afterglow
(in your afterglow)
And the veils are gone
As I let you go
As I let you go
Touch me and I wil follow
In your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
As I let you go
I will find my way, I will sacrifice
Now I'm living
In your afterglow
Bathed in blue
The walls of my memories divides the thorns from the roses
Undenied
Death before life
You're in my place again
Echoes deprive us enough
You're in my wailing
Decide what it means to work in fire
Decide what it means to work in fire
Shadows casting bodies
Who knows which way things will go?
All shifting images
Upside down to be upright
Upside down, you'll make them cry
Death before life
Another place again
You and my loneliness speak now
I realize
I don't have much further to go
The afterglow
Life running backwards, nailed up and freezing
Put the past before you
Down is my placement
No place out there I have to be
Lost is where I hide (and)
And I've no reason to be found
To resound
I NEED YOU HERE BESIDE ME TO CHASE THE NIGHT AWAY
I NEED YOUR LOVE TO GUIDE ME SAFE THROUGH ANOTHER DAY
I LIE AN WATCH THE LIGHTS GO DOWN
SAY GOODNIGHT TO ANOTHER TOWN
AND THOUGH IT HURTS TO BE ALONE
I HAVE MY THOUGHTS OF YOU TO KEEP ME WARM
IN THE AFTERGLOW OF YOUR LOVE
DREAMINGS ALL I`M GUILTY OF
EVERYDAY I`M PLAYING TOUGH
BUT READ MY MIND
IF YOU COULD SEE ME NOW
JUST LIVING MY LIFE IN A LIMBO
IF YOU COULD SEE ME NOW
THE ME THAT ONLY YOU WOULD KNOWAFTERGLOW
STILL BURNING IN THE AFTERGLOW
WHEN THE BEAT OF THE DRUM HAS FADED
THE SHOW COMES TO AN END
THE STAGE IS CLEARED AND LOADED
AND THE HIGHWAY CALLS AGAIN
I STAND AND WATCH THE LIGHTS GO DOWN
STAY WITH ME RIGHT TO THE END
Welcome to the afterglow
Welcome to the show
We welcome to the world
The flight just arrived at gate 17
We welcome to the world the ones who left to find
Other states of mind while others stayed behind
We welcome to the world the ones who couldn't live it
Too late to begin it and too soon to end it
For they are the returning generation
We welcome to the world
The flight just arrived at gate 17
Would all passengers who've been
In search of other ways of living
Check at Information for debriefing
For they are the returning generation
Welcome to the world
Where shares can go down as well as up
Where 'Words are flowing out like endless rain into a
paper cup'
Plays on a remastered CD somewhere in Los Angeles
While seagulls wheel and the index drops
Research and development, I'm in my element
With the last of the elephants brainstorming
Never mind what's relevant and never mind selling it
While the power drains from the mainframes I'm surfing
on the brainwaves
Singing free the slaves, Jesus saves and other bullshit
literature
Washed down in the rainstorm
Welcome to the afterglow
Welcome to the show
Welcome to the world
Check your hostility
At gate 17
This is information
We eat, we sleep, we shit and fuck and die
We speak, we hope, we learn, we try
Welcome to the afterglow
Welcome to the show
For we are the returning generation
We welcome to the world
The flight just arrived at gate 17
Would all passengers who've been
In search of other ways of living
Check at Information for debriefing
Welcome to the afterglow
Welcome to the show
Too late to enjoy it
Too soon to destroy it
Too dumb to invent it
Too smart to end it
Too late to enjoy it
Too soon to destroy it
Too dumb to invent it
Too smart to end it
Too late to enjoy it
Too soon to destroy it
Too dumb to invent it
Too smart to end it
Too late to enjoy it
Too soon to destroy it
Too dumb to invent it
Your love, love is all around me, everywhere
Love has come to touch my soul
With someone who really cares
No-one can deny us
People who once passed me by
Will turn their heads
I’m happy just to be with you
And loving you the way I do, oh
Is everything I need to know
Just resting in the afterglow of your fire
You, yes you have always been here
A feeling deep inside
A feeling that I could not see
Or touch, or try to hide
My love is in and without you
I bless the day that I found you
So listen baby
I’m happy just to be with you
Girl, loving you the way I do
Is everything I need to know
Just resting in the afterglow of your fire
Love is like a voice in my head
Keeps turning out all the things that we said
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I’m happy just to be with you
Baby, loving you the way I do
Is everything I need to know, yeah
feeling myself all of the time
all of the time feeling alright
taking a while raising a smile makes it all worthwhile
but if you wanted to find peace of mind
then you could find it any time you liked
you are the afterglow
feeling my way all of the time
all of the time doing just fine
taking a page out of my life
out of my life wouldn't it be nice
but if you wanted to find peace of mind
then you couldn't find it any time you liked
you are the afterglow
you are the midnight show
the only one i know
you come and then you go
and when you finally leave
Just when the days start getting colder,
I walk the streets I never knew
There's some words I never told you,
The sound rings out like the truth
And if you could see what's come over me
Then you would know
Cause I'm walking free
The wind at my back
Bathed in afterglow
As I sit here in this dark room,
All I seem to feel is light
I see color,
I see the maroon in the blood of this life...
That's ours
Watch the sun it paints an orange sky
Lay me down and feel the days gone by
Just when the days start getting longer
I walk the streets I never knew...
Twilight and I lie awake
Afterglow is all around me
I lie awake, in this light
And I wonder where you are tonight
Voices turn to silence
Echoes never fade away
Twilight and I lie awake
Afterglow is all around me
Voices turn to silence
Echoes never fade away
I lie awake listening
Centre on the wide horizon
Focus on the galaxy
Sweep away your expectations
and recognise your enemies
I hear you talking to yourself
You're stripping off for someone else
You've got to learn to love yourself
It's all that counts, there's little else
You're always looking for affections
and all its possibilities
Your senses searching for attention
in urgent need of gravity
I think you think you're someone else
You've got to learn to save yourself
Before you find there's nothing left
But bitterness
And hollowness
And afterglow
[Lyrics: Stefan]
in the field of my soul
i lay down and awake?
with the knowledge
of the once forgotten
seeking harmony within myself
an afterglow of a vague memory
softly veils my demise
excelling myself in my own
...betrayal
drowned in oceans of vice
virtue is lost
exiled into the barest part
of my own nature
another afterglow of the past
now softly veils my plight
disgracefully I am the beholder
of this tragedy
condemned to be my own...
I wasn't sleeping
I wasn't dreaming
I kept my head down
I kept my head down
I wasn't laughing
I think I was crashing
'Cause I always fall down
I always fall down
[Chorus:]
Now everything I've ever known
Just fades into the afterglow
This light surrounds you
And your light pulls me through
And even though the past is gone
I've got you here
I'm holding on
Look up from below
And stay with me here in the afterglow
I wasn't breathing
My heart had stopped beating
Frozen in time
Frozen inside
[Chorus]
You saved me from this hiding place
Where I waste away
You turned this winter's night into
A perfect summer's day
Now I'm believing
The pain is receding
You're like water to wine
It's a cold hard pain, deep down inside,
Shared by the lonely, the evil, the holy.
It chooses no sides...
And it's hard... it's hard... hard...
In the dead of night, in the dark we know,
What we try to hide, seems to always show.
This eternal pain, that we keep inside,
It's the afterglow of the crucified.
In the darkness of night, there is no where to hide,
In the afterglow,
Let the torment begin, as you twist and you bend,
In the afterglow,
You run for your life, from the demons that hide,
In the afterglow,
Never heard, never seen as you cry and you scream,
In the afterglow.
I can't understand, what I'm feeling inside.
Desperate and lonely,
I feel like the only person alive,
And it's hard... it's hard... hard...
In the dead of night, in the dark we know,
What we try to hide, seems to always show.
This eternal pain, that we keep inside,
It's the afterglow of the crucified.
Oh you gotta believe me,
Oh listen to me.
In the darkness of night, there is no where to hide,
In the afterglow,
Let the torment begin, as you twist and you bend,
In the afterglow,
You run for your life, from the demons that hide,
In the afterglow,
Never heard, never seen as you cry and you scream,
Rainbow, waiting by my window
Rainbow, singing at my door
And the Georgia pines and dandelions are bobbing in the careless summer breeze
Sunshine, skipping on the sidewalk
Sunshine, but not as bright as you
When you shattered free, you blined me, and now I'm seeing stars around my head
And it's all I know
You're the afterglow
That never fades
Tadpole, squiggle in the water
Tadpole, dancing toward the light
From a pollywog into a frog in twenty seconds flat, well how 'bout that?
Mayfly, skimming on the water
Mayfly, only for a day
And if love is just a fleeting whim, then why is it you never dimmed away?
And it's all I know
You're the afterglow
That never fades
After all these years
Of living in your shadow
After all these years
Of bathing in your light
The only thing I know
Is you're the afterglow
That never fades
My love, brighter than a diamond
My love, shining like the sun
But I never try to close my eyes, I never want to hide you in the dark
And it's all I know
You're the afterglow
That never fades
And it's all I know
You're the afterglow
So just take it slow
Until the sun falls low
Don't say a word
Don't breath a sigh
Don't make a move
Don't bat an eye
Just hold me tight and don't let go
Just be with me, I love you so
The Mountains moved
And The Thunder Rolled
But now the earthquake is a gentle force
That frees our souls
And I am with you in the after glow
You gave to me the love I need
I gave to you a love so true
And now we are one skin to skin
You breath me out I breath you in
The Heavens tumbled
And The River flowed
But now that hurricane
Is drizzling rain just falling slow
Here in your arms in the Afterglow
A summers kiss to cool our lips
A lovers blush a body rush
The Long Embrace, Romantic stares
The look of love that fills the air
The heavens rumbled and the river flowed
But now the earthquake is a gentle force
That soothes our souls
Sometimes when I'm awful low
I don't think about the blue sky
Just wanna see the magic in her eyes
And it shows me the same afterglow
Why don't you think of something new
And make a day with Ophelia
Boy, you're beginning to see the dark
And it shows you the same afterglow
She ain't the kind
That you'll easily forget
Boy, you're husseling roses
Down the avenue of death
And you don't want
You don't want to lose her yet
(Oo-oo-oo-oooh
Oo-oo-oo-oooh
Oo-oo-oo-oooh)
She ain't the kind
That you'll easily forget
Boy, you're husseling roses
Down the avenue of death
And you don't want
You don't want to lose her yet
You're studying the dust
You're making (?)
You lost you mind from show to show
'Cause you couldn't find the same afterglow
So love has gone wrong
And the good moments were through
Don't know where I wanna go, I just wanna go
And I'm hoping to find the same afterglow
(Oo-oo-oo-oooh
Oo-oo-oo-oooh)
Vespers bell tolls days departure
resounding it's plaintive knell
the cowherd drives his cattle homewards
as sunlight bids a fading farewell.
(Chorus:)
Warm Afterglow, how discreetly you flow
casting twilight's halo, on the dimming day.
Calm Afterglow, bathe each hill and hedgerow
in a scarlet shadow, slipping slowly grey.
Shirehorse ploughs one final furrow
gaping nostrils snorting steam,
the yearling bows her head in slumber
while Sandman spurs a world to dream.
(Chorus)
Advent of night,
soothing sight,
seamans delight.
Bustling woodland slows to stillness,
quiet save for the blackbirds cry
a crimson aura braids the skyline
urging languid day to die.
We're at the afterglow
Of what we both do know
Know as the spring of our youth.
We've loved and shared the dawn
And hoped that we'd go on
'Cause even the dawn had to go.
Love has to cry
But need not die
Heart has to sigh
The test of time
We go through days and through years
Calloused by doubts, joys and fears,
Love has to grow
But need not go
Heart has to know
The test of time
We're at the aferglow
And though we both do know
How far we are from the dawn
That second golden dawn
When love is true
Still I'll wait
I'll wait for second dawn and you
we're back again, let's begin
we never left you... yeah
the time is now... we'll show ya how, can you feel me
you know it's on, to the break of dawn
let's get crazy
so everybody come together now and scream
one love up above countin yer blessings learnin the lessons that make you strong,
doing no wrong to no one... what do we do.. how do we grow..
to hit the next level.. do you wanna go?
let's roll, i'll take u where u wanna go
higher than you'll ever know
i'll take u where u wanna go
in afterglow
layin it down, goin underground comin with some freaky shit... yeah

so everybody get your fuckin ass up and scream
one love up above countin yer blessings learnin the lessons that make you strong,

to hit the next level.. do you wanna go?
let's roll, i'll take u where u wanna go
higher than you'll ever know
i'll take u where u wanna go
in afterglow
Genesis' cover
Music and lyrics by Tony Banks
Like the dust that settles all around me,
I must find a new home.
The ways and holes that used to give me shelter,
Are all as one to me now.
But I, I would search everywhere
Just to hear your call,
And walk upon stranger roads than this one
In a world I used to know before.
I miss you more.
Than the sun reflecting off my pillow,
Bringing the warmth of new life.
And the sounds that echoed all around me,
I caught a glimpse of in the night.
But now, now I've lost everything,
I give to you my soul.
The meaning of all that I believed before
Escapes me in this world of none, no thing, no one.
And I would search everywhere
Just to hear your call,
And walk upon stranger roads than this one
In a world I used to know before.
For now I've lost everything,
I give to you my soul.
The meaning of all that I believed before
Escapes me in this world of none,
I miss you more.
AFTERGLOW
Leo Reisman
The stars refuse to shine
Since you're no longer mine,
No crescent moon above,
Without your love
Afterglow,
The spark of a love that's lost,
Afterglow,
As pale as the wintry frost,
Long ago our love was a fountain of fire,
You filled my soul with one desire,
Afterglow,
No longer my heart will dance,
Burning low,
The embers of our romance,
Still I know,
Those embers would burst into flame,
If you but called my name
Never mind the state I'm in,
I'm popping pills to get by
Overrating, calculating every sing word you say
I'll be alright as time goes by, 'cause it heals all wounds they say
Never mind the afterglow, it still burns when I'm gone
Save it all for the afterglow, gone, yeah save it for the afterglow
So never mind the afterworld, it is only temporary and I'll be gone before you're done questioning my actions
I'll be miles away....you'll be here when I'm gone
You'll be gone when I'm back again
You'll be gone when I return
I lie awake while the gods are sleeping, I trust in death as the only real thing
I denied god two times and twenty years ago, I believe in things you never want to know
[Pre-Chorus:]
There's no such thing as heaven. I'd rather go with the flow
[Chorus:]
Gotta go, gotta sing the songs I know, to keep it rhyme along in the afterglow
What do you feel? If it's pain well then life is for real
I hit em hard, I've never once tried the other cheek
Regrets? We'll those I'll keep for the eternal sleep
Not once in a lifefime have I thought about it twice
Wearing my soul
Inside out
So that you can see
My point is defined
Tied around my neck
A crooked device
Nailed to the tree
The shattered body of Christ
Where every loss is a gain
Is this the way you’ve been enthusing about?
If only I could see
Where it would lead me
Treating life as a game
Loosing grip in this merry-go-round
It got me down on my knees
But here I go again…
Tell me all about
This aching afterglow of life
I’m still wondering aloud
Will I ever forget your love?
Each and every day
My memories of youth will fade away
It’s a price I’ll gladly pay
But I will never let you go
No, not again
First I denied
It seemed like a joke
But nobody smiled
They’ve seen me through
Out in the fields
Blooming pastures of green
Are setting the stage
The stage for something new
In my fear of going under
I fold my limbs around her
Like roots clinching the earth while
Digging deep where the water grows
Breaking through the layers
Of obstacles and barriers
To taste the sweetest flavors
nobody really wants this life,
no matter what they tell you, baby it's a lie
maybe i should just pack it in
grab my shit and not come back again
well heaven knows i've tried
it comes as no suprise
word gets around in this one horse town
It travels faster then the, speed of sound
they take ya down fast in this town
i was really hoping you would change your mind
if this is your idea of a valentine
then turn the lights down low
I don't want to watch you go
maybe I'm better off alone
in the afterglow
shining like a dimond on the hand of a bride
lonely as an angel in a Godless sky
shining like a dimond on the hand of a bride
lonely as an angel in a Godless sky
I took my chances, I was mistaken
I didn't take the roads that I should have taken
but heaven knows i've tried
it comes as no suprise
theres nothing left if me tonight
Like the dust that settles all around me,
I must find a new home.
The ways and holes that used to give me shelter,
Are all as one to me now.
But I, I would search everywhere
Just to hear your call,
And walk upon stranger roads than this one
In a world I used to know before.
I miss you more.
Than the sun reflecting off my pillow,
Bringing the warmth of new life.
And the sounds that echoed all around me,
I caught a glimpse of in the night.
But now, now I've lost everything,
I give to you my soul.
The meaning of all that I believed before
Escapes me in this world of none, no thing, no one.
And I would search everywhere
Just to hear your call,
And walk upon stranger roads than this one
In a world I used to know before.
For now I've lost everything,
I give to you my soul.
The meaning of all that I believed before
Escapes me in this world of none,
Sinking in the sunset here alone with you
A photograph so perfect we'll just stay and never move
But it comes and it goes so fast
We can make it last
Taste the summer afterglow
And take it with you when you go
Remember me when you're back in school
If you can't make it through
'Cause every moment in your life
Comes down to what you hold inside
I don't have to know you
I just wanna hold you tonight
Closer than it's ever been with anyone
Living for the moment there's a flash and then it's gone
Is it killing you like it's killing me tonight
Just remember what it's like
Remember
And you had to go
So far away, far away, away
She's been drifting for too long now
But now her ship's come in
He'd been running from the shadows
Now sunlight floods within
There's something new inside
First time to realise
Afterglow
Afterglow
He built his fortress so high
With walls of past mistakes
But now he leaves it burning
Purged from regret's heartbreak
There's something new inside
First time to realise
New light behind those eyes
First time to realise
Afterglow
Afterglow
Afterglow
Afterglow
I've been drifting for too long now
But now my ship's come in
I've been running from the shadows
Chalk it up to the stars and the moon in your eyes
Lost it all to the day we leave all this behind
It's a beautiful thing when you know
You can slip through the door if patience wore thin
Just suck in your pride, stick out your chin and cut it down
It's okay if you sing, if you've got the words right
You can sip from the fountain if mystery dissolves
I can still see your face with my eyes tightly closed
Tried to write it in words but the words weren't my own
We're basking in the afterglow
Your philosophy
It's all in the way you make me smile
You don't have to try to be the heart of me
You just have to make it worth my time
You'll be everything you always wanted to be
And you'll see your fantasy with me
Without you it's all the same
I don't know your name
This is the last time we say goodnight
Make sure you get this right
No one will ever know when we lose control in the
after... in the afterglow
Your hypocracy is part of the reason to deny
This opportunity of you and me
And all other faces that pass by
You'll be everything you never wanted to be
But you'll see your fantasy with me
Without you it's all the same
I don't know your name
This is the last time we say goodnight
Make sure you get this right
No one will ever know when we lose control in the
after... in the afterglow
This is the last time we say goodnight (x 2)
This is the last time we say goodnight
Make sure you get this right
No one will ever know when we lose control in the
after... in the afterglow
No one will ever know when we lose control in the
I heard him come
I saw his very face
I wondered who
Would come into this place
Where dead men walk
And where the dying talk
Of life before
The curse upon them came.
He looked on me;
He must have felt my gaze
He came toward me,
Through the crowded maze,
And I a leper in shame, hid my head
Praise to the man who communed with Jehovah!
Jesus annointed that Prophet and Seer.
Blessed to open the last dispensation,
Kings shall extol him, and nations revere.
Chorus:
Hail to the Prophet, ascended to heaven!
Traitors and tyrants now fight him in vain.
Mingling with Gods, he can plan for his brethren;
Death cannot conquer the hero again.
Praise to his mem'ry, he died as a martyr;
Honored and blest be his ever great name!
Long shall his blood, which was shed by assasins,
Plead unto heav'n while the earth lauds his fame.
Chorus:
Hail to the Prophet, ascended to heaven!
Traitors and tyrants now fight him in vain.
Mingling with Gods, he can plan for his brethren;
Death cannot conquer the hero again.
Great is his glory and endless his priesthood.
Ever and ever the keys he will hold.
Faithful and true he will enter his kingdom,
Crowned in the midst of the prophets of old.
Chorus:
Hail to the Prophet, ascended to heaven!
Traitors and tyrants now fight him in vain.
Mingling with Gods, he can plan for his brethren;
Death cannot conquer the hero again.
Sacrifice brings forth the blessings of heaven;
Earth must atone for the blood of that man.
Wake up the world for the conflict of justice.
Millions shall know 'Brother Joseph' again.
Chorus:
Hail to the Prophet, ascended to heaven!
Traitors and tyrants now fight him in vain.
Mingling with Gods, he can plan for his brethren;
There's nothing I can find
To mend this heart of mine
There's nothing
That can make me forget you
Well I tried everything
That pleasure could bring
But my soul feels empty and blue
Cause I know that I'm nothing
Without you by my side
You brought me sunshine every day
Took all my blues away
I long for your embrace
And to see your smiling face
That makes my life seem worthwhile
Well I just can't bear
To know that you're not there
Because I need you to reconcile
Cause I know that
I'm nothing
Without you by my side
You brought me sunshine every day
Lead, kindly Light, amid th’encircling gloom, lead Thou me on!
The night is dark, and I am far from home; lead Thou me on!
Keep Thou my feet; I do not ask to see
The distant scene; one step enough for me.
I was not ever thus, nor prayed that Thou shouldst lead me on;
I loved to choose and see my path; but now lead Thou me on!
I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears,
Pride ruled my will. Remember not past years!
So long Thy power hath blest me, sure it still will lead me on.
O’er moor and fen, o’er crag and torrent, till the night is gone,
And with the morn those angel faces smile, which I
Have loved long since, and lost awhile!
Meantime, along the narrow rugged path, Thyself hast trod,
Lead, Savior, lead me home in childlike faith, home to my God.
To rest forever after earthly strife
Our story time is told
And I'm blinded by the afterglow
Can you hear me dear?
Now I'm thumbing through the pages
Of the beautifully romantic years
I can hear you, dear
'Cause right in front of me,
You disappear
You're still vanishing
You left me here
I stand here today
So far from the same
It's hard to move on without you
So my God fill these spaces left in me
I'm so near to lost but I'm not
So near to lost but I'm not alone
Dear daddy don't you miss me?
Cause in heaven there's no room for tears
I can feel you here
As I'm thumbing through the pages
Seems forever's just too far away
When we meet again
I'll remember when
Right in front of me
You disappeared
You're still vanishing
You left me here,
I stand here today
So far from the same
It's hard to move on without you
So my God fill these spaces left in me
I'm so near to lost but I'm not
So near to lost but I'm not all alone
Not all alone
I'm not all alone
I'm not all alone
I stand here today
So far from the same
It's hard to move on without you
So my God fill these spaces left in me
I'm so near to lost but I'm not
I stand here today
So far from the same
It's hard to move on without you
So my God fill these spaces left in me
I'm so near to lost but I'm not
Take your headphones off, little girl
Listen to the sounds of the world
Put your heart into it
It's all intuitive
Paint a picture black and white
Write a book about the meaning of life
You gotta use what you've been given
To change the world you're livin' in
What would you do with all the answers?
What would you do if you're the only one?
Annie dreams of others when she's wide awake
Wishin' on the beauty that they hide away
And if someday you slip away from all the souls that you've saved,
I promise I'll find you in the afterglow
Starin' out the window
Seein' the streetlights pass you by
In the reflection in your eyes
Your thoughts collide
It's more than coincidence
Believe in it ever since, you know,
"The times, they are a-changin'"
All that's happened in the past.
What would you do with all the answers?
What would you do if you're the only one?
Annie dreams of others when she's wide awake
Wishin' on the beauty that they hide away
And if someday you slip away from all the souls that you've saved,
I promise I'll find you in the afterglow
Lay down your arms and surrender to mine Let me release you from your tangled skein Burn down your temples and your holy shrines Sift through the ashes for the truth that shines No more weeping or wringing of hands Come with me to the promised land Close your eyes and we'll go down slow We're gonna drown in the afterglow
How far can they control my mind?
But to know God you must be God! And to be God you must
let go of anything you thought you were...
Once the masses accept their role
There is no stopping of the only hand
Deems itself the might
To deviate the thought of its frugal trail
Tight within the palm of its sole hand
Might grips the poison
To lure the weak from their lair
With mindless chants
Discordant volition of vestigial brains
Wretched and disordered I feast my eyes
With your vain and hopeless flounder
My grand ascension was no wonder
Sheperd turns to wolf
Decimate your own
Man is the only...
Man is the only...
Deviate your own.
Herded and subdued an unsolved syndrome
I feast my eyes with your ragged bow
Sheperd turns to wolf
Decimate your own
Man is the only...
Man is the only...
Deviate your own.
This pleasant addiction of mine
Went through so many dimensions,
Indulged myself with your presence
I honour this cancerous land
Herded and subdued an unsolved syndrome
I feast my eyes with your ragged...
Take heed to their pitiful ramble
A cluster of fools with tongues of sludge
Putrid piles of larvae
Scavenging on my grandeur
Man is the only...
Man is the only...
An eternity around the afterglow
Of a mighty stars remains
Weightlessly the ellipse is mastered
In an unconscious awakening
Huge, with senses coming to life
In this hostile gamma-burned void
Unremembered and vaguely felt
By the pulse of the lava-heart
A giant deformation of stone
The lifeless nature unhinged
Aware of alien movements
And ready to seal their doom
Malicious seductions of fire
Are collecting greedy desires
To saturate the hungry mind
With the agony of aspirations
(lead Hilbert)
Strange logic applied
Weird thoughts collide
This rocky worlds degeneration
An evolutionary abbreviation
(lead Hilbert)
(lead Mai)
Bound to the revolution
In confined constitution
Feeling an omnipotent drifting
The laws of physics shifting
The unwritten chapters ahead
Where futures branches are spread
Within the life-span of the universe
