The Afterglow Lyrics
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 means to work in fire
Shadows casting bodies
Who knows which way things will go?
All shifting images
Upside down to be upright
Upside down, you'll make them cry
Death before life
Another place again
You and my loneliness speak now
I realize
I don't have much further to go
The afterglow
Life running backwards, nailed up and freezing
Put the past before you
Down is my placement
No place out there I have to be
Lost is where I hide (and)
And I've no reason to be found
To resound
From no sound to resound
Death before life
Echoes deprive us enough
You're in my wailing
Decide what it means to work in fire
Decide what it means to work in fire
Who knows which way things will go?
All shifting images
Upside down to be upright
Upside down, you'll make them cry
You and my loneliness speak now
I realize
I don't have much further to go
No place out there I have to be
Lost is where I hide (and)
And I've no reason to be found
From no sound to resound

i love you for putting this song up its got to be the best death song ive ever heard in my life. to me its pretty good with the meaning. if you listen to sly and the family stones song life its kind of a vice versa thing of that no other way to describe it with so much excitement hopefully when calmed down i can write something better
ok the lyrics i used are a bit diffrent to these but hey new meanings to everyone yeah i got a bit befor that prt about all tonight ending now and i think its about the end of a reach in life but you will return
death before life prt its a bit like the end of the loop comment where the spirit takes over your life when death becomes you or vice versa to their world youre in my place again echos before us see now the spirits taken over, new words through warp of worlds and you believe youre w/ the other half
the nxt 2 line are diffrent for me ive got sound would of means rectified then sound....rectify john is putting out sound that to him will last forever but in the shortness of his life willl be drawn out of the picture
it them moves onto felling alone but always have spirits around you. you feel like you cant go wrong and that the prime time is dreams
it then goes onto say that within the dreams you realize that death is rather close but it brings you to a new better life it then goes into a metapjorical thing whereit moves back to youwhen your through the new life warp hole
the last pieces move on to say that its better than where you were before and you know you live w/ the spirits and that you'll live on forever if you're w/ the spirits
okay so i'm kind of confused. i bought a used CD off the internet. came with two booklets, one's small one with liner notes, and the other is a book of lyrics in both english and japanese. i assumed these were correct lyrics, as it looks official, and i just assumed i had a booklet from a japanese release or something. but the lyrics are completely different, here they are exactly as printed:
Undenied undenied (repeat)
Dead people lie All people lie Dead people lie Dead people lie
You're in my place again Echoes become a sin now You're in my way, man Sound would mean some wrecking up Sound would mean some wrecking up
Shadows casting... Who knows were traveling down there ...images Of some...
Dead people lie (repeat)
I'm not a president You'll hear my lonely mouth speak now I don't have my purpose to go
The afterglow The afterglow The afterglow The afterglow The afterglow
Lie on your back when you're nailed up in freedom Lie on your back when you're nailed up in freedom Hooked up before you Hooked up before you
Down is my place, man No place I feel I have to be Lost is where I am And I've no reason to be found To be down From myself to be down From myself to be down (repeat) From myself a reason
so what's up with this? what are the real lyrics?
