Afterlife Lyrics
"Soliloquy"

SOLILOQUY
music and lyrics by Mike Hudson

The lights go down on the stage
And all the actors fall out of character
Back to their jobs in the day
Sweeping up the remains of their egos and fame
But I alone will call
To the darkness sprayed on a theatre wall
And I will rise through the strife and lies
To take my place in the sun...

The healing comes and I am there
It's been a thousand days
The feeling returns on a breath of air
Is this the saving grace?

No fire, no light shall outshine
The burning in my mind
I've stood the test of time
And I'm still there....
(I'm still there)

I don't believe in fate
Or fortune calls from an open gate
No scripture set in stone
In the cast and crew I have stood alone
Then the curtains rise to a thousand eyes
As the actors take their cue
In my mind is the opening line
I whisper it to you...
