Afterglow (Reprise)

(album: Neverland - 1995)

Lay down your arms and surrender to mine
Let me release you from your tangled skein
Burn down your temples and your holy shrines
Sift through the ashes for the truth that shines

No more weeping or wringing of hands
Come with me to the promised land
Close your eyes and we'll go down slow
We're gonna drown in the afterglow

We'll go down... we're gonna drown... we'll go down...
We're gonna drown in the afterglow...

In the aftermath of Babylon
All the pimps and whores have gone
All the guilt has been laid to rest
Just remember mother never knew best

Tear down the walls raze them to the ground
Your ivory tower we'll burn it down
And in the evening when the sun gets low
We're gonna drown in the afterglow

We'll go down... we're gonna drown... we'll go down...
We're gonna drown in the afterglow...
