In The Aftermath

Did I lose my way?
Standing in the shadow of the price I chose to pay
And so it goes
Every scar beneath my skin begins to show

Took a breath before I bled
Into the dark where angels fled
I gave more than I could reclaim
But I don't regret a thing

Wanna scream out no more hiding
I'm not afraid of what's inside
Gotta tell ya I'll be alright
In the aftermath

When they tried to pull me down
When they said I wasn't strong enough to fight
I remembered I was never alone
In the aftermath

In the aftermath

I felt the weight
Of pieces lost and shadows that I couldn't shake
But it's not too late
'Cause her light was worth the soul I gave away

Took a breath before I bled
Into the power I had fed
I lost myself to find her flame
And I would do it all again

Wanna scream out no more hiding
I'm not afraid of what's inside
Gotta tell ya I'll be alright
In the aftermath

When they tried to pull me down
When they said I wasn't strong enough to fight
I remembered I was never alone
In the aftermath

Marked by Piel Obscura's fire
Stronger than the darkest liar
Faced down death and broke the chains
For her I'd do it all again

Before I broke I had to lose my own mind
Held my soul in Xellathrae's grip
But through the dark I saw her light
And all I feel is love love love
All I feel is love love love

Wanna scream out no more hiding
I'm not afraid of what's inside
Gotta tell ya I'll be alright
In the aftermath

When they tried to pull me down
When they said I wasn't strong enough to fight
I remembered I was never alone
In the aftermath

In the aftermath
(Gotta tell ya I'll be alright)
In the aftermath
Even with the soul I left behind
Her life was worth the cost of mine
