Lyrics
And After ?
There's a sadness hanging in the wings
Not many know its there
Its ready to descend on you
Anytime it doesn't care
Doesn't mind who it touches
However long it stays
Its always there waiting
To try and make it pay
There's a life somewhere out there
But it won't be there for long
There's a flame that still burns
That will soon be gone
When that heart gives in
Others they will break
Those souls that were waiting
No longer wait
Chorus
And after will those that remain
Dust themselves down, go on again ?
Or will they be too consumed by grief
To truly feel the pain ?
Verse
It's the way of the world
For all life to have bounds
And not all who leave us
Do so with a sound
And when the bell does toll
There's no reason or rhyme
Not all who wish to bid goodbye
Will have the time
Chorus
And after will those that remain
Dust themselves down, go on again ?
Or will they be too consumed by grief
To truly feel the pain ?
