After the Nightmare
The Dark Tenor Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We were just like phantoms
Our love was cold and sleeping
You and i caught in a bad dream
But we never gave up hope to see the sun

Our hearts were waiting so long
For a brand new morning to come
After the nigthmare
After the pain
I can feel your blood rushing through my veins

After the nightmare
The demons are gone
Open our eyes to a new dawn

Our pulse was beating
Keeping us alive and breathing
Shaking our bones through the night
Guiding us the way back into life

Our hearts were waiting so long
For a brand new morning to come

After the nigthmare
After the pain
I can feel your blood rushing through my veins

After the nightmare




The demons are gone
Open our eyes to a new dawn

Hammer song und stimme

@dorisehrhardt9934

Die Machart des Videos ist toll: ich mag die Verläufe der Bildausschnitte, insbesondere somit, dass jeder auf der riesigen Bühne seinen kleinen Raum groß ausfüllt und den Moment, wo die Maske fällt...somit die Dramatik des Albtraums sich in Erleichterung auflöst durch die Erkenntnis und Akzeptanz, dass auch der dunkle Teil ein Teil seiner selbst ist und dem Gefühl, bei sich angekommen zu sein...
Danke für deine Musik, die so herrlich unter die Haut geht und du sie so wunderbar auf die Bühne und ins bewegte Bild transportierst🙏💖🎶

Ich kenne bisher nur den kleinen Kreis mit Ilja, Eric und dir aus der Christuskirche im Dezember 2021 und das war für mich schon sensationell. Gänsehaut über fast 2 Stunden. Dieses Video macht Lust auf das große Bühnenprogramm mit einer kompletten Band. Das Video ist klasse und ich freue mich unbändig auf die Gänsehaut, die wiederkommen wird beim Konzert in Bochum am 02.12.2022.
