Intro
C#m C#sus2 C#m C#sus2 C#m
Back in the day I never had to choose my way
C#m C#sus2 C#m C#sus2 B
without a clue
C#m C#sus2 C#m C#sus2 C#m
No need for a hand
C#m C#sus2 C#m C#sus2 A
Unaware that I was dancing on the edge but wasn't due
Bsus4 B Bsus4 B Bsus4 B Bsus4 B
Oh, serene's the sea behind me, into the whirl of devil time

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

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

[Bridge 1]
G#
So you don't wanna see
G#
You realize that your senses have come to the edge
G#
And you don't trust a single one
Fm C# D#
Don't wanna turn your inside towards the sky
Fm C# D#6 D#
Are we afraid to catch a glimpse of truth tonight?
G#
Could the heavens reveal what's inside the afterglow?
G#
Is this light just based on perception now?
Fm C# D#
Or do I refuse to perceive what is hard to ignore?
Fm C# D#6 D#
From ease through fire into the afterglow...
G#
And you don't wanna see (I look up in search of forever and wonder)
G#
See that your eyes have come (Trying to make out that day)
G#
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)
Fm C# D#
Will you turn your inside towards the sky (Why is it made so difficult for us to read the signs that we)
Fm C# D#6 D#
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)
G#
Pictures of void burn in the afterglow (I look up in search of forever and wonder)
G#
Purification or just a perception now? (Trying to make out that day)
Fm C# D#
Will you refuse to feel what you can't ignore (That I had to give my inherent spiritual juvenility away
and again)
Fm C# D#6 D#
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]
D#m C# B
I try to look as far as the eye can see
G#m A#m B
Past and beyond the dark painted wall, oh
[Chorus]
F# D#m C#
Ring in the age: countdown to zero
G#
Chasing the afterglow
D#m F# C#
The outcome is set, as far as they know
D#m F# A#m
Is it the end or maybe the outset
G# D#m
Or just a stage of a whole that I can't survey

Time and again it's screaming my name
