Johnny Angel and the Spookies - After the Rain (feat. The Lost Soul, the Voodoo Queen & the Seer)

Shut your mouth and run like hell, you got a bad thing coming your way
I made a mistake but you can still escape and live to see another day
I'm sorry I did not believe you, it doesn't matter too late now
I didn't survive but you're still alive and that fiend is coming around

I always dreamed of being with you til the end
Didn't think I'd go this fast, guess the good times never last

Nowhere to run to, it's gonna find you, sure as the sun will rise
Don't look behind you, if you decide to, hope you said your goodbyes
I've been forced into spectating, If you fall I'll be there waiting

Pulsing brainwaves, system shutdown, you can't scream although you try
What once was and what now is, you wish the truth were really a lie
I should not have gone alone, but it was all a matter of pride
End of story, Memento mori, it's hard to go unsatisfied

I always thought I'd be the hero of this tale
There to see the credits roll, now I'm just a lonely soul

I know enough now and I know that I need to come back to the earth
The mind is a balancing game to determine what your soul is worth
I don't have a clue where I am but I know that I must still exist
Cause purpose is driving my breathing it's telling me I should persist

I'm losing myself in the moment but feel like I've found a new way
To orchestrate all my dreaming and keep it from running astray
Float down a tunnel and into a funnel and drip out one cell at a time
It's a cycle of death and revival so out of this pit I know I need to climb

But people can't help but destroy you because they don't know who they are when they're born
And everything, everyone, everywhere all has a need so they're forced to conform
So tell me a lie about living or maybe you wanna know more about death
Well this rhythm of rhyming can spell it out better, cause all things will come to an end

His prophecy fulfilled, his soul would descend into a hollow crypt of deceit and sorrow
She would call on him again, a breath from the void, a whisper in the darkness
But that is a story for another day
