AFTER THE SILENCE

Lyrics: Oliver Viert Music: Oliver Viert/Florian Franzen/Timo Bonner 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?
