lyrics

Early morning under a grey sky
I breathe the cool air and tighten my coat
The train seems to wait for me
I hear it gently... gently rumble for me

I step into the corridor
And I sit comfortably
I feel quiet
I leave it to the slender rails
But I don't know yet...
That this is my last trip

The station slowly fades
And the landscape starts to pass before my eyes
Faster and faster

Lulled by the machine
I fall asleep

I finally awake
Night has fallen
It's a very strange feeling
Nothing is moving

The coach is empty and silent
I don't hear the dull sound of wheels on rails
It's darker and darker

Moonlight seems to shine from another world

Who's in control ?
Am I the only passenger of this train ?
I took a one way ticket but I'm not afraid
I'm not even sure to know my name...

I walk through empty rows
Guided by distant voices in the dark
Quietly talking

Elegant gentlemen dressed in velvet
Kindly welcome me
They look ageless

Moonlight seems to shine from another time

Who's in control ?
I am the only passenger of this train
I ignore what is my destination
I ignore doubt, I ignore fear
I took a one way ticket but I'm not afraid
I'm not even sure to know my name...

My presence doesn't seem to surprise them
They smile with delight and shake my hand

"It's perfect, they say, it's perfect"
"Welcome aboard my dear friend !"

Our train is rushing through the stars
I understand there's no way back
Our train is rushing through the stars
I understand there's no way back

Who's in control ?
I am the only passenger of this train
I took a one way ticket but I'm not afraid
I'm not even sure to know my name...

I took a one way ticket but I'm not afraid
I'm not even sure to know my name...

I don't even feel my heartbeat anymore

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

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]

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

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

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

I'm the new operator of the hive

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

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]

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

I'm the great operator of the hive

Afterlife Inc.
A place to decease
A place to be
A place to cease to be

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]

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

Come and rest... [Harmo]
forever

Afterlife Inc.
A place to decease
A place to be
A place to cease to be

Afterlife Inc.
A place to cease to be

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
