Edguy - Space Police - Defenders of the Crown

Back in the day I never had to choose my way without a clue
No need for a hand
Unaware that I was dancing on the edge but wasn't a due
Oh, serene's the sea behind me
Into the whirl of devil time


A gentle rocking
Then a crack in the cradle
You're asleep until you hit the ground
One for this road and another for after?
Someone tell me: what's yer "after" all about?


From ease to the sky
Until the world gets in the way


Ring in the age: countdown to zero
Chasing the afterglow
The outcome is set as far as I know
Time and again the sundown it screams my name
But I try to turn away


The gorge of the instant devours the future
To spit it out as a fading memory
Gimme the strenght to defy contradiction
When my mindset fails to let me see
Will I travel on and longing pave the road?


Ring in the age: countdown to zero
Chasing the afterglow
The outcome is set as far as I know
Is it the end or maybe the outset
Or just a stage of a whole that I can't survey
Time and again it's screaming my name


So you don't wanna see
You realize that your senses have come to the edge
And you don't trust a single one
Don't wanna turn your inside towards the sky
Are we afraid to catch a glimpse of truth tonight?


Could the heavens reveals
What's inside the afterglow?
Is this light just based on perception now?
Or do I refuse to perceive what is hard to ignore?
From ease through fire into afterglow


And you don't wanna see
See that your eyes have come
To a point where you don't see why and where do you run
Will you turn your inside towards the sky
You're scared to death by what your heart may see tonight


I look up in search of forever and wonder
Trying to make out that day
That I had to give my inherent spiritual juvenility away and again:
Why is it made so difficult for us to read the signs that we
Have to read in order just to understand
Read so we can comprehend a trace of eternity
Have to read in order just to understand
Read so we can comprehend a trace of eternity


Pictures of void burn in the afterglow
Purification or just a perception now?
Will you refuse to feel what you can't ignore
From ease through fire into afterglow


Oh, I feel like I'm to wander
I can't fathorn but I'm bound to journey on
Oh eternally I'll wander
I'm a spiritual eternal wayfarer


I try to look as far as the eye can see
Past and beyond the dark painted wall, oh


Ring in the age: countdown to zero
Chasing the afterglow
The outcome is set as far as I know
Is it the end or maybe the outset
Or just a stage of a whole that I can't survey
Time and again it's screaming my name
