Intro
G#m G#sus2 G#m G#sus2 G#m
Back in the day I never had to choose my way
G#m G#sus2 G#m G#sus2 F#
without a clue
G#m G#sus2 G#m G#sus2 G#m
No need for a hand
G#m G#sus2 G#m G#sus2 Fb
Unaware that I was dancing on the edge but wasn't due
F#sus4 F# F#sus4 F# F#sus4 F# F#sus4 F#
Oh, serene's the sea behind me, into the whirl of devil time

[Verse 1]
G#m G#sus2 G#m G#sus2 G#m
A# gentle rocking, then a crack in the cradle
G#m G#sus2 G#m G#sus2 F#
You're asleep until you hit the ground
G#m G#sus2 G#m G#sus2 G#m
One for this road and another for after?
G#m G#sus2 G#m G#sus2 Fb
Someone tell me: what's yer 'after' all about?
[Pre-Chorus]
D#
From ease to the sky, until the world gets in the way
[Chorus 1]
A#m C# G#
Ring in the age: countdown to zero
D#
Chasing the afterglow
A#m C# G#
The outcome is set, as far as I know
A#m Fm D#
Time and again the sundown it screams my name
G#m Cb C#
Buy I try to turn away
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
G#m G#sus2 G#m G#sus2 G#m
The gorge of the instant devours the future
G#m G#sus2 G#m G#sus2 F#
To spit it out as a fading memory
G#m G#sus2 G#m G#sus2 G#m
Gimme the strength to defy contradiction
G#m G#sus2 G#m G#sus2 Fb
When my mindset fails to let me see
[Pre-Chorus]
D#
Will I travel on and longing pave the road?
[Chorus 2]
A#m C# G#
Ring in the age: countdown to zero
D#
Chasing the afterglow
A#m C# G#
The outcome is set, as far as they know
A#m C# Fm
Is it the end or maybe the outset
D# A#m
Or just a stage of a whole that I can't survey
Fm D#
Time and again it's screaming my name

[Bridge 1]
D#
So you don't wanna see
D#
You realize that your senses have come to the edge
D#
And you don't trust a single one
Cm G# A#
Don't wanna turn your inside towards the sky
Cm G# A#6 A#
Are we afraid to catch a glimpse of truth tonight?
D#
Could the heavens reveal what's inside the afterglow?
D#
Is this light just based on perception now?
Cm G# A#
Or do I refuse to perceive what is hard to ignore?
Cm G# A#6 A#
From ease through fire into the afterglow...
D#
And you don't wanna see (I look up in search of forever and wonder)
D#
See that your eyes have come (Trying to make out that day)
D#
To a point where you don't see why and where you run (That I had to give my inherent spiritual juvenility
away and again)
Cm G# A#
Will you turn your inside towards the sky (Why is it made so difficult for us to read the signs that we)
Cm G# A#6 A#
You're scared to death by what your heart may see tonight (Have to read in order just to understand read so
we can comprehend a trace of eternity)
D#
Pictures of void burn in the afterglow (I look up in search of forever and wonder)
D#
Purification or just a perception now? (Trying to make out that day)
Cm G# A#
Will you refuse to feel what you can't ignore (That I had to give my inherent spiritual juvenility away
and again)
Cm G# A#6 A#
From ease through fire into afterglow (Have to read in order just to understand read so we can comprehend
a trace of eternity)

[Bride 2]
A#m G# F#
I try to look as far as the eye can see
D#m Fm F#
Past and beyond the dark painted wall, oh
[Chorus]
C# A#m G#
Ring in the age: countdown to zero
D#
Chasing the afterglow
A#m C# G#
The outcome is set, as far as they know
A#m C# Fm
Is it the end or maybe the outset

Or just a stage of a whole that I can't survey
