Through the Fire and Flames
Washington University After Dark Lyrics

On a cold winter morning
In a somber and bleak moment

In the time before the light
In a period of darkness and uncertainty

In flames of Death's eternal reign
Amidst the destructive power and influence of death

We ride towards the fight
We bravely face the challenges ahead

When the darkness has fallen down
When despair and hopelessness have taken hold

And the times are tough, alright
And the circumstances are difficult and challenging

The sound of evil laughter falls
The echoes of malevolence resound

Around the world tonight
Throughout the entire world, in this moment

Fighting hard, fighting on for the steel
Persistently and fiercely fighting for our cause

Through the wastelands evermore
Within desolate and barren lands indefinitely

The scattered souls will feel the hell
Those broken and lost will experience torment

Bodies wasted on the shores
Lifeless forms left abandoned on the coastline

On the blackest plains in hell's domain
In the darkest and most evil realms of existence

We watch them as we go
As we continue our journey, we observe them

In fire and pain, and once again
Amidst the flames and agony, just like before

We know
We are aware and have understanding

So now we fly ever free
We soar without constraint or limitation

We're free before the thunderstorm
We are liberated even in the midst of chaos

On towards the wilderness our quest carries on
Continuing our journey towards the unknown

Far beyond the sundown
Much further than the setting sun

Far beyond the moonlight
Beyond the illuminated beauty of the moon

Deep inside our hearts and all our souls
Within the depths of our inner beings

So far away we wait for the day
We patiently anticipate a distant future

For the lives all so wasted and gone
For the existence that was lost and will never return

We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
We experience the sorrow of a prolonged suffering

Through the fire and the flames we carry on
Despite facing immense challenges and hardships, we persevere

As the red day is dawning
At the beginning of a momentous event

And the lightning cracks the sky
When a sudden and powerful change occurs

They'll raise their hands to the heavens above
They will make a gesture of defiance and anger

With resentment in their eyes
With a deep-seated bitterness and hostility

Running back from the mid-morning light
Retreating from the bright illumination of daylight

There's a burning in my heart
A passionate and intense feeling within my being

We're banished from a time in a fallen land
We are exiled from a past era in a ruined place

To a life beyond the stars
To an existence transcending celestial boundaries

In your darkest dreams
In the most terrifying visions of your subconscious

See to believe
Witness to understand and accept

Our destiny is time
Our fate is intertwined with the passage of time

And endlessly we'll all be free tonight
And without limitations, we shall experience freedom this night

And on the wings of a dream, so far beyond reality
Carried by the hope and imagination, far surpassing what is real

All alone in desperation, now the time has gone
Completely isolated in despair, now that opportunity has vanished

Lost inside you'll never find, lost within my own mind
Forever trapped within yourself, unable to discover an escape

Day after day this misery must go on
Continuously, relentlessly enduring this suffering

Now here we stand with their blood on our hands
In this moment, we face the consequences of our actions

We fought so hard now can we understand?
With our intense struggle, can we finally comprehend?

I'll break the seal of this curse if I possibly can
I will attempt to relieve the burden of this curse

For freedom of every man
In order to secure liberty for all individuals

We carry on!
We persist and continue our journey!
