Translation: Schubert, Franz. In the afterglow.
Heaven bent to take my hand And lead me through the fire Be the long awaited answer To a long and painful fight Truth be told I've tried my best But
Feeling myself all of the time All of the time feeling alright Taking awhile raising a smile Raising a smile makes it all worthwhile But if you wanted
Spend all your time waiting For that second chance For a break that would make it okay There's always some reason To feel not good enough And it's hard
If I had the chance, love I would not hesitate To tell you all the things I never said before Don't tell me it's too late 'Cause I've relied on my illusions
Every time I look at you the world just melts away All my troubles all my fears dissolve in your affections You've seen me at my weakest but you take
Am I faithful, am I strong, am I good enough to belong In your reverie a perfect girl Your vision of romance is cruel and all along I played the fool
Your love in all its finery Tear up the darkness all around me Until I can breathe again Until I believe again 'Cause I'm a train wreck, waiting to happen
I will be the answer At the end of the line I will be there for you While you take the time In the burning of uncertainty I will be your solid ground
Night lift up the shades Let in the brilliant light in morning Steady me now For I am weak and starving for mercy Sleep has left me alone To carry the
Hearts are worn in these dark ages You're not alone in these stories pages The light has fallen amongst the living and the dying And I'll try to hold
You've been gone so long all that you know Has been shuffled aside as you bask in the glow Of the beautiful strangers who whisper your name Do they fill
Time here, all but means nothing Just shadows that move across the wall They keep me company but they don't ask of me They don't say nothing at all And
Forty thousand headmen couldn't make me change my mind If I had to take the choice between the deafman and the blind I know just where my feet should
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
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
