Soilwork - Alight in the Aftermath [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Then they came in shapes and dreams
Visions wrapped in smoke and steam
Spoke to me in twisted tongues
Words that burned inside my lungs

Then they came to bring the end
Infiltrate and then transcend
Whispers from the dawn of time
Spiritual but not divine

[Chorus]
Where is the meaning to all that's left behind
If I walk down that path?
From the beginning, we kept our souls entwined
Alight in the aftermath

[Verse 2]
Then they came like rain and wind
Flesh can't hold the truth within
There's no guilt, no one to blame
Spirit travels without name

[Pre-Chorus]
And if that flame enlightens me
Will it relieve me of my needs?
To come alive, free from existence
Escape the emptiness where I was born

[Solo]

[Verse 3]
They come as travelers
Through astral planes, diverting time
The great unravelers
Of all that's hidden in your mind

[Bridge]
I lift my gaze
Into the fire beyond
This wondrous phase
It will not last for long
Embrace this dawn
Like I once held you
You'll know before
My time is due

[Verse 4]
Then they came at no small cost
They alone know what I'd lost
After birth communiqué
This time, fire lights the way

[Chorus]
