Aftermath(Remastered)

歌詞

Windows in a silent room, Sunlight burns the walls to black. Angles and dimensions melt While colors drip and pillows crack- Reflections of my memories like pictures pasted on a sheet, A ribbon film of seperate frames Lying curled up at my feet. The film is just a snake-design And the photographs are fading fast... These are not memories of mine- I have no future...no past... I have seen a thousand afternoons Dissolve into the night. Like sugar crystals on a spoon They disappear from sight. Grey days from the crispest morning To the warmest afternoon... In this room. And I like to draw The face I saw so long ago. My image in the mirror tells the jagged lines Which way to go. A black-and-white description of The sole survivor of the Holocaust.. All the rest were lost. Do you see this paper face? It has no color or no mood. My eyes are ageless as am I! I need no sleep, I need no food. I am a king! But like a child, The other children laugh at me... Tongues of fire wagging wild, They dance around me merrily. I'll kill them all, And if I fail, I'll kill whoever I can find. Then they'll beg me to be kind. My eyes have seen far more Than eyes can ever tell: This planet plunged through mushroom fires Of earthly hell. I know that my sweet Jesus said He would return... But Babylon has fallen, And the cities... Burn.
