Kamelot
Sacrimony (Angel of Afterlife)
[Verse 1: Tommy Karevik]
A passing life each day, a carving on the wall
It's like a night without awakening
The truth is lost and maybe never to be found
Like the shadows of my pantomime
[Pre Chorus: Tommy Karevik & (Alissa White-Gluz)]
When all the world is gathered for the final feast
Will there be someone to believe in me?
Voices echoing in my distorted mind
Is this for real or just a dream?
(Am I losing my mind? I am not afraid, my dear!)
[Chorus: Tommy Karevik]
Sing for me, angel of afterlife, calming me down
Chaos inside my nebula!
And may the wrong turn to right in a celestial light
Forgive my sacrimony!
[Verse 2: Tommy Karevik]
Tell me what they say that I'm supposed to know
Tell me every little detail!
Make truth appear for me as distant memories
Like pictures on a silver screen
[Pre-Chorus: Elize Ryd]
It all becomes clear
The truth will appear
Forever I'm there for you and sing
[Chorus: Tommy Karevik]
Sing for me, angel of afterlife, calming me down
Chaos inside my nebula!
And may the wrong turn to right in a celestial light
Forgive my sacrimony!
[Bridge: Alissa White-Gluz]
And now leave me alone
Erase my memory!
Don't want to hear, don't want to see
Don't want to think about the lie that follows me!
[Bridge: Tommy Karevik]
All becomes clear
But no one will hear my testimony
[Chorus: Elize Ryd]
I am your angel of afterlife, calming you down
Silence inside your nebula
And when the wrong turns to right in a celestial light
I'll heed your testimony
[Chorus: Tommy Karevik]
Sing for me, angel of afterlife, calming me down
Chaos inside my nebula!
And may the wrong turn to right in a celestial light
Forgive my sacrimony!
[Outro: Elize Ryd and Alissa White-Gluz]
(Ring around a rosie
A pocketful of posies
Ashes, ashes
We all fall down)
