Icarus Witch Afterlife Lyrics

“How can we be so blind
We of body and mind
To rely on the afterlife?”

So much to lose yet such little time
Don’t give in to your sorrows
Ask yourself – Do I listen to my heart?
And live like there’s no tomorrow

Live for today before it slips away
Your time is here and now, not in the afterlife

The afterlife

Though just beginning it’s so soon to end
Will we ever meet again?

Live for today before it slips away
The time is here and now
Won’t you tell me what is to be
The time is here and now, not in the afterlife

In the afterlife (Don’t count on destiny)
Afterlife (In the end you will see)
In the afterlife

Dark clouds form overhead
From all the promises never kept It’s all a means to an end - For you and me

Savor each moment before they’ve gone astray
They can pass you by in the blink of an eye
You will regret not living out your dreams
Reflecting in the tears you cry.

Live for today before it slips away
Your time is here and now
The final mystery – tell me what is to be
No need to pray, there’s a bettter way
Live like we’re already in the afterlife
This truth could set us free
The time is here and now, not in the afterlife

Here we are waiting for the fates to open up the sky
Weigh my heart; tell me will my soul remain where I
lie?

Afterlife (Don’t count on Destiny)
Afterlife (In the end we will see)
