Before and After Life Songtext
von Wendy Rule

See, I′ve come to the centre now
Here I usher the souls that pass
Over the threshold go
Over the threshold go
There to become the seed
Bidding the flower to grow
All life into the dark goes
Into the womb, the tomb, Into the hunger
Into the teeth falls, Into the mouth crawls
Into the cavern called, Into the centre
Life feeds, swallows its own tail
Filling its belly full, full of its children
All life into the dark goes
Into the womb, the tomb, Into the hunger
Birth am I, And Death am I, And woman am I
I am before and after Life
Birth am I, And Death am I, And woman am I I am before and after Life
Deep in the Earth
A death and a birth
A quickening flame that whispered my name
I honoured the call
Taking the throne
I wasn't alone
A spark of desire had kindled my fire and Freed me
Birth am I, And Death am I, And woman am I
I am before and after Life
Birth am I, And Death am I, And woman am I
I am before and after Life
Something below I wanted to know
Eager to feed I swallowed the seed
And now that I′m fed
I am alive alive with all this glorious red!
