A Gift To Afterthought

Here and now it endsWe don't remember the first crackBut we will all recall the floodThere go the edges son, but just you waitI never thought that we would go this wayWe stand at the edge and watch the whole world crash around our feetThis is more than each of usThis will be the end of us now,I swear itBelieve meJust one wordAnd welcome home was all we heardThrough bars we built ourselvesThey'd already wonJust one wordAnd welcome home the empty herdShe always said "I won't believe it - You've found your voice, now let me hear it!"We left the tyrant, now undoneDrowning at his river's endWe turned our feet to runThe words had called us, son:We knew the world could end by just oneJust one wordAnd welcome home was all we heardThrough bars we built ourselvesThey'd already wonJust one wordWe should have knownThe empty herdShe always said that we would soon forgetBut there's one word left in the box yetAs stone turns to dust around usThis gift to afterthought brings her own weaknessesOpening the prison door comes as no consolation to us standing here at the endThere go the edges, sonWe stand at the edge and watch the whole world crash around our feetThis is more than each of usThis will be the end of us now,I swear itBelieve meJust one wordAnd welcome home was all we heardThrough bars we built ourselvesThey'd already wonJust one wordAnd welcome home the empty herdShe always said "I won't believe it - You've found your voice, now let me hear it!"Hope
