Testo di 'After The Fire' di Pharaoh

And then the war was done
All the dead were one
I found my eyes and
They were useless in the sun
And with a blade I found
I cut a mountain down
I built a house where all
The flames had touched the ground.

Then all the stars fell from the sky
All lost at sea, the shipmen cry
Without the help of constellations in the night
We're forced to fly by our own light

And when the sons have killed their fathers
And when the census of the dead is given up
And when the fire starts returning to the sun
I take my place among the one

I've lost the world now
My heart is blind somehow
Every night I hear a crying in the wind
The ghost of soldiers dead
The ghost inside my head
Even ghosts of enemies begin to sound like friends

Then all the stars fell from the sky
All lost at sea, the shipmen cry
Without the help of constellations in the night
We're forced to fly by our own light

And when the sons have killed their fathers' fathers
And when the census of the dead is given up
And when the fire starts returning to the sun
I take my place among the one

After the fire
After the flight
It's time to forget everything that you're thinking is right

The fire burned alive
It's ashes filled my eyes
It's cinders left a hopeless hunger in my bones
And some I've never known
Their bodies paving stone
And I am left to walk an earth I call my own

Then all the stars fell from the sky
All lost at sea, the shipmen cry
Without the help of constellations in the night
We're forced to fly by our own light

And when the sons have killed themselves
And when the census of the dead is given up
And when the fire starts returning to the sun
I take my place among the one
