After The Storm – Dianne Van Giersbergen Lyrics, Letra:
Lights went down, the curtain fell
A lingering, heartfelt cheer died away
The harmony, if it was real, then why am I dismayed
At eventide, in vain I whiled
Should we not stand and fight together
How I regret, my bannerets left me bereft and shamed
Flow down, bleak rivulet, and carry me ashore
Fuel my heart, mend my bones for I can’t bear no more
After the storm, after the battlе, the bitter rain pours
Batterеd and broken I’ll leave no words unspoken
Bravery fell into the deepening night where I dwelled
Demonized, terrorized, scorned but eyes wide open
Oh, dream that I adored, oh, memories galore
Awaken me once more, the tyrant will not be dethroned
And so you wilt, while he will not atone
He’ll forsake our world: The cretin sways his sword
Commands the sky, till feathers fly and burn forevermore
Forevermore
After the storm, after the battle, the bitter rain pours
Battered and broken I’ll leave no words unspoken
Bravery fell, into the deepening night where I dwelled
Demonized, terrorized, scorned but eyes wide open
A plague on your kingdom, a plague on your chest
Render me lost, all that I’ll have I’ll forgo but not my quest
Dishonoured, abandoned, a lone soul, lost and awash with tears
Without arms nor armour, a meagre shadow, laden with fear
To you, my love, I bid farewell and bestow the flame
Hold it high, bright it shines when I reclaim my song
After the storm, after the battle, the bitter rain pours
Battered and broken I’ll leave no words unspoken
Bravery fell, into the deepening night where I dwelled
Demonized, terrorized, scorned but eyes wide open
