Afterending

As the flags fall down
The statues crack and drown
We clap for a crumbling state
Inventing rules which we can't break
But take no blame
We enter a night of nothingness
Even your shadow disappears
Reality becomes an apology
And waking up the catastrophe
Sail into the abyss with me
After ending, and after belief
After tomorrow after the flood
After ending from below and above
Progress is a comfortable disease
That brought us down to our knees
Not to pray but to cry and wish
While painting portraits of our loneliness
Sail into the abyss with me
After ending and after belief
After tomorrow, after the flood
After ending from below and above
And the tattoo that runs down your spine
A secret message for us to find
Trojan horses and straw dogs
The near future has been and gone
Sail into the abyss with me
After ending and after belief
After tomorrow, after the flood
After ending from below and above
And the tattoo that runs down your spine
A secret message for us to find
Trojan horses and straw dogs
The near future has been and gone
