Afterlife
Metalite Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

As I walking through the shadows of the night
A black raven screams, he's ready for the fight
And I feel the change, the change from white to black
The wolf in me is going to attack

Soon, it will be the end
My life's a waste, let the morning be my friend
Above the stars there is a place called paradise
I hope that one day I will make it there, somehow
But with this creature in me living its own life
I'm not sure I'll have the right to have a peaceful afterlife

It all starts again, the evil voices in my head
They are here to stay when the night is closing in
As a thunderstorm, blazing fire in the sky
Takes me to the danger zone, I wonder why

Without a halo on my head
I hope the morning light will save me once again

Above the stars there is a place called paradise
I hope that one day I will make it there, somehow
But with this creature in me living its own life
I'm not sure I'll have the right to have a peaceful afterlife

Without a halo on my head
I hope the morning light will save me once again

Takes me to the danger zone
Without a halo on my head

I'm not sure I'll have the right to have a peaceful afterlife

Above the stars there is a place called paradise
I hope that one day I will make it there, somehow
But with this creature in me living its own life
I'm not sure I'll have the right to have a peaceful afterlife

Above the stars there is a place called paradise
I hope that one day I will make it there, somehow




But with this creature in me living its own life
I'm not sure I'll have the right to have a peaceful afterlife

Line by Line Meaning

As I walking through the shadows of the night
Walking in darkness


A black raven screams, he's ready for the fight
Dark and dangerous creatures lurk in the shadows


And I feel the change, the change from white to black
Becoming evil


The wolf in me is going to attack
Losing control to the animalistic nature


Soon, it will be the end
Death is approaching


My life's a waste, let the morning be my friend
Disappointment in life


Above the stars there is a place called paradise
Heaven is above us


I hope that one day I will make it there, somehow
Wishing for a peaceful afterlife


But with this creature in me living its own life
Struggling with inner demons


I'm not sure I'll have the right to have a peaceful afterlife
Concerned about moral worth


It all starts again, the evil voices in my head
Fighting inner torment


They are here to stay when the night is closing in
Darkness brings fear


As a thunderstorm, blazing fire in the sky
Symbolic of a chaotic life


Takes me to the danger zone, I wonder why
Fearful of consequences


Without a halo on my head
Lack of moral purity


I hope the morning light will save me once again
Desiring redemption


Takes me to the danger zone
Living life on the edge


I'm not sure I'll have the right to have a peaceful afterlife
Uncertainty of moral worth


Above the stars there is a place called paradise
Belief in a higher realm


I hope that one day I will make it there, somehow
Wishing for a peaceful afterlife


But with this creature in me living its own life
Struggling with inner demons


I'm not sure I'll have the right to have a peaceful afterlife
Concerned about moral worth

I am pretty sure, someone who makes such an amazing song has a right to have a peaceful afterlife.

CalliopeBird

Album finally released, and I have to say - It surpassed my expectations. This is metal you listen to when you’re in a great mood! It makes you feel powerful and you can’t help but dance around and rock out!
