lyrics

[Intro]
The train has stopped and I step out in the dark [Harmo]
No beat in my chest I am light hearted [Harmo]

[Verse 1]
On this lonely platform I stand alone
I have no other choice but to wait
I have no other choice but to pace
Under a starless skie I have to wait [Harmo]
A night that seems eternal surrounds me [Harmo]

[Verse 2]
Without I saw or heard anything
Another gentleman appears [Harmo]
He invites me to follow him [Harmo]
Then disappears... [Harmo]

[Verse 3]
Massive doors open [Harmo]
It's time to meet the last encounter [Harmo]
I'll never know his name [Harmo]
I'll never guess his age [Harmo]
He quietly tells me than I'm dead
A brand new life begins for me

[PreChorus]
I'm the strange winner
Of a strange lottery
I found my place in the... Afterlife company
I inherited immortality
The sinister smiles of my boss are so friendly
I will live forever

[Speach]
I'm the new operator of the hive

[Chorus x 2]
Afterlife Inc.
A place to decease [Harmo]
A place to be [Harmo]
A place to cease to be [Harmo]

[Verse 4]
They call me the new soul collector
I work at the center of the hive
I am the juggler of the spheres [Harmo]
I am the guardian of the dead [Harmo]

[PreChorus]
I'm the strange winner
Of a strange lottery
I found my place in the... Afterlife company
I inherited immortality
The sinister smiles of my boss are so friendly
I will wait forever

[Speach]
I'm the great operator of the hive

[Chorus x2]
Afterlife Inc.
A place to decease
A place to be
A place to cease to be

[Break 1]
White are the spheres of the souls at peace [Harmo]
Red are the spheres of the frightened ones [Harmo]
Black are the spheres of tortured souls [Harmo]

[Break 2]
The light of the luminous souls
Eternally reflects on the water of the fountain
The light of the luminous souls
Eternally reflects on the silver leaves of the trees

[PreChorus]
Come and rest... [Harmo]
forever

[Chorus x2]
Afterlife Inc.
A place to decease
A place to be
A place to cease to be

[Chorus final]
Afterlife Inc.
A place to cease to be

[Final]
It all began in the early morning
Breathed the cool air and tightened my coat
The train seemed to wait for me
I heard it gently... gently rumble for me
