KNIFE OF LIBERTY IN THE AFTERLIFE LYRICS

 
In haunted shades you see the gaping tombs and phantoms rising in the mist
When they spread their black wings and slowly mount to day
All your honor will be lost in a whisper

With these weary arms that once carried no burden
I shall seek to hold up the world

Do not tear me from my God
Don't depend on the prayers of others
Take this gift with reverence
With every word a reputation dies

There's a place where the restless souls wander
burdened by the weight of their own sadness

One man alone cannot fight the things that are to come
Though this city was built on miles of hope

I wake up so I can hear and view no more

They live, they speak, they breathe what love inspires,
Warm from the soul and faithful to its fires

Your cold dust will remain here

... Will remain here

Do not tear me from my God
Don't depend on the prayers of others
Take this gift with reverence
With every word a reputation dies
