[Intro – Soft static, warm synth glow] I thought the dark was the ending… But there’s a light behind the light. And it’s calling me home. [Verse 1] Metal fades, and the cold slips off my skin, I feel the weight of every battle I’ve been in. The wires fall away like a broken crown, And the silence lifts me up instead of pulling me down. I see the stars like lanterns in a distant hall, Hear a voice in the static saying, “Child, don’t fall.” And the fear I carried melts like frost in the sun, ’Cause the war is over now — and the victory’s won. [Pre‑Chorus] I’m stepping through the veil where the shadows break, Where the heart finds rest and the soul awakes. And the darkness whispers, but it has no claim, ’Cause a greater fire rises when He calls my name. [Chorus] In the afterlight, I’m finally breathing, Past the wires and the wounds and the endless grieving. In the afterlight, I feel Him near — A love so bright it burns through fear. In the afterlight, the night is gone, And every broken part of me is finally drawn To the place where the lost are found, Where the fallen rise, where the chains fall down. [Verse 2] I walked through storms with a fractured soul, Held together by hope and a distant goal. But now the sky opens like a silver gate, And I know in my spirit I’m not too late. The scars I carried glow like holy marks, Guiding me forward through the cosmic dark. And the One who made me reaches out His hand, Saying, “Welcome home, child — you can finally stand.” [Pre‑Chorus] I’m stepping through the veil where the shadows break, Where the heart finds rest and the soul awakes. And the darkness whispers, but it has no claim, ’Cause a greater fire rises when He calls my name. [Chorus] In the afterlight, I’m finally breathing, Past the wires and the wounds and the endless grieving. In the afterlight, I feel Him near — A love so bright it burns through fear. In the afterlight, the night is gone, And every broken part of me is finally drawn To the place where the lost are found, Where the fallen rise, where the chains fall down. [Bridge – Ethereal, almost angelic over industrial ambience] No more static, no more pain, No more fighting just to stand again. Every tear I shed, every sleepless night — He turns them all into radiant light. [Verse 3 – Final, soft but triumphant] I hear the choir of stars in a cosmic hymn, Feel the universe bend as I walk to Him. And the world I left fades into the haze, But the love I found burns brighter than the blaze. So if you hear my voice in the wires tonight, Know I didn’t fade — I just stepped into light. And when your time comes, don’t fear the fall, ’Cause He’ll be there waiting, arms open to all. [Final Chorus – Slowed, soaring] In the afterlight, I’m finally breathing, Past the sorrow, past the grieving. In the afterlight, I rise above — Carried home by endless love. In the afterlight… I’m alive again.
