lyrics

Right after the darkness, just before the light
The momentary fit in between
After the darkness, just before the light
And all the ever after in between

After the ashes, just before the dawn
After the young mother cries anew
After every angel whimpers out to sea
And the demons come thundering for you

Blood will always, blood will always be
Nothing less, nothing more grand
Alpha, omega, all the in between
All in all, blood will always be

After the stampede, just before the rush
After the morning bells ring
After all the laughter, just before the tears
Coming washing over you in waves

Blood will always, blood will always be
Nothing less, nothing more grand
Alpha, omega, all the in between
All in all, blood will always be

After the ceasefire, just before the war
After the marching orders fade
After the wax, just before the wane
After all, everything's in vain

Blood will always, blood will always be
Nothing less, nothing more grand
Alpha, omega, all the in between
All in all, blood will always be
