As the After Becomes the Before Lyrics


When the first letter is written,

the page has already been torn

When the last chapter is finished,

the cover has anew been restored

The finish of the end

The start of the beginning

The old slumber, the new awake

The awake, the new slumber

When the last letter is written,

the first page is already blank

When the last chapter is finished

all cluster is gone, biding to be reworked

As the cluster returns

and the orbs again blaze

Completing the circle once more

When patina meets varnish

and dried ink starts to run

As the after becomes the before

What's past is prologue

What's asleep shall be awake forevermore

The finish of the end

The start of the beginning

The old slumber, the new awake

The awake, the new slumber

När jag händer in i dunkel igen

Dit där ljusen aldrig slocknar

Där mitt sista blir mitt firsta

Där mitt firsta blir mitt sista

As the cluster returns

and the orbs again blaze

Completing the circle once more

When patina meets varnish

and dried ink starts to run

As the after becomes the before
