As the After Becomes the Before Lyrics

When the first letter is written,
the page has already been torn
When the last chapter is finished,
the cover has anew been restored

The finish of the end
The start of the beginning
The old slumber, the new awake
The awake, the new slumber

When the last letter is written,
the first page is already blank
When the last chapter is finished
all cluster is gone, biding to be reworked

As the cluster returns
and the orbs again blaze
Completing the circle once more

When patina meets varnish
and dried ink starts to run
As the after becomes the before

What's past is prologue
What's asleep shall be awake forevermore

The finish of the end
The start of the beginning
The old slumber, the new awake
The awake, the new slumber

När jag händer in i dunkel igen
Dit där ljusen aldrig slocknar
Där mitt sista blir mitt firsta
Där mitt firsta blir mitt sista

As the cluster returns
and the orbs again blaze
Completing the circle once more

When patina meets varnish
and dried ink starts to run
As the after becomes the before
