Afterglow Songtext
von Mentallo & the Fixer

You′re accused of being in league with the Devil
You speak with many voices
Mercy, mercy
Unearthly, Christ-loving wretches
You are with me
The Antichrist has spoken
You speak with many voices
Mercy, mercy
Unearthly, Christ-loving wretches
Rise up now from darkness
In the heat of the night
Sensing your blood like glass
Time to confess
To think of what you've lost
In the heat of your essence
Entering crisis
Just laying to rest
What was there to possess
I don′t confess
In the aftermath


Of your tragic past
Stabbed in the back
What do you see?
Facing all the facts
Skin showing cracks
Then coming to lack
Idiot, unwilling
Sad as you speak
You speak with many voices
Just listen to me
Protect me from the hands of Satan
Idiot, unwilling
Actions speak louder than words
Sometimes the truth hurts
And so receptive for what it's worth
But you never give up the search
No, no, no, no
You speak with many voices
Mercy, mercy
Unearthly, Christ-loving wretches
You are with me
The Antichrist has spoken
You speak with many voices
Mercy, mercy
Unearthly, Christ-loving wretches
Rise up now from darkness
In the heat of the night
Sensing your blood like glass
Time to confess
To think of what you've lost
In the heat of your essence
Entering crisis
Just laying to rest
What was there to possess
I don′t confess
In the aftermath
Of your tragic past
Stabbed in the back
What do you see?
Facing all the facts
Skin showing cracks
Then coming to lack
Idiot, unwilling
Sad as you speak
You speak with many voices
Just listen to me
Protect me from the hands of Satan
Idiot, unwilling
Actions speak louder than words
Sometimes the truth hurts
And so receptive for what it′s worth
But you never give up the search
No, no, no, no
You speak with many voices
Mercy, mercy
Unearthly, Christ-loving wretches
You are with me
The Antichrist has spoken
You speak with many voices
Mercy, mercy
Unearthly, Christ-loving wretches
Rise up now from darkness
In the heat of the night
