After The Fire Lyrics by Pharaoh (band)

After the Fire

0

And then the war was done
All the dead were one
I found my eyes and
They were useless in the sun
And with a blade I found
I cut a mountain down
I built a house where all
The flames had touched the ground
Then all the stars fell from the sky
All lost at sea, the shipmen cry:
Without the help of constellations in the night
We're forced to fly by our own light
And when the sons have killed their fathers
And when the census of the dead is given up
And when the fire starts returning to the sun
I take my place among the one
I've lost the world now
My heart is blind somehow
Every night I hear a crying in the wind
The ghost of soldiers dead
The ghost inside my head
Even ghosts of enemies begin to sound like friends
Then all the stars fell from the sky
All lost at sea, the shipmen cry:
Without the help of constellations in the night
We're forced to fly by our own light
And when the sons have killed their fathers' fathers
And when the census of the dead is given up
And when the fire starts returning to the sun
I take my place among the one
After the fire
After the flight
It's time to forget everything
That you're thinking is right
The fire burned alive
It's ashes filled my eyes
It's cinders left a hopeless hunger in my bones
And some I've never known
Their bodies paving stone
And I am left to walk an earth I call my own
Then all the stars fell from the sky
All lost at sea, the shipmen cry:
Without the help of constellations in the night
We're forced to fly by our own light
And when the sons have killed themselves
And when the census of the dead is given up
And when the fire starts returning to the sun
I take my place among the one
