AFTER THE SILENCE Songtext
von Avalanche Effect

I traced my shadows through the years
A fragile line that bends and breaks
The mirror shivers when it hears
The cost of all the roads I take

Will I be more than a fading sound
A whisper lost in shifting ground?
Do I exist in the lives I′ve touched
Or vanish when they've had enough?

I won′t be weighed by borrowed hands!
No echo tells me who I am!
The mark I leave, I choose to give
Not theirs to keep, but mine to live!

The ink I spilled on borrowed time
Drips into cracks the earth won't keep
A fleeting spark, a fragile sign
A promise buried in its sleep


I traced my shadow through the years
A fragile line that bends and breaks
The mirror shivers when it hears
The cost of all the roads I take

I won't be weighed by borrowed hands!
No echo tells me who I am!
The mark I leave, I choose to give
Not theirs to keep, but mine to live!
I′m more than just a fading sound
Not lost beneath the shifting ground
I exist in the life I live
Not what the world decides to give

I won′t be weighed by borrowed hands!
No echo tells me who I am!
The mark I leave, I choose to give
Not theirs to keep, but mine to live!

Will I be more than fading sound
A whisper lost in shifting ground?
Do I exist in the lives I've touched
Or vanish when they′ve had enough?
