Afterlife Lyrics by Taken

Taken

2016

Like a shadow in the dark
Like the whisper of a spark
It's the shadow of your life
That slowly says goodbye
Says goodbye
You know I'll never forget
The very first time we met
You blew this poor heart away
I'll remember it till my last day
In the blackened skies
I can see no stars
But the moon is staring at your smile
Looking around
I know far as the spirit goes
It'll never be farther than the heart
Made a promise to the gods
The protectors from above
If I pass away, my love
Let me guide you through that path
Path of life
Through the winds of change
Across dusty plains
I have found what I'd been searching for
If you trust in me and if you have faith
We can give it again one more try
So stand up, take my hand, don't you hesitate
Our love will succeed on the other side
Our destinies are entwined
This is not the end
It will continue through the veil
I left my shell in your arms
As the bell rang farewell
My time here expires
Walking on the other side, I miss you
And I cannot hear your voice
Like a flame that withers away
Amber and ashes it's all that's left
Now the clock is ticking without me
Keeping us worlds apart
I will meet you in afterlife
Now I stand on the other side
Now I see the other world
Through frosted glass
Now what it was it is no more
Here, I wait for you, forevermore
In the blackened skies
I can see no stars
But the moon is staring at your smile
Looking around
I know far as the spirit goes
It'll never be farther than the heart
