After the Fire Lyrics

After the Fire - Pharaoh

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
