After Forever - Withering Time Lyrics






Withering time, so elusive
So shapeless
Graceful coul, crumbling glory
It will revive
Exalt the endless chain
Exalt the withering times

Time decides what lives or dies
Time can crawl and time can fly
It can wither and erase
It can make a new beginning

There is nothing time can't beat
There is nothing time will need
To destroy and bloom again
A vicious circle older than the earth

Decay, destroy to reform again
Withering time

Withering time, so elusive
So shapeless
Graceful coul, crumbling glory
It will revive
Exalt the endless chain
Exalt the withering times

Broken windows, blistering paint
Lashing winds, hot suns and rain wood has splintered, walls are cracked
The elements are just as vicious

All that men have made won't last
In the future as in the past
But our memories are strong
And will out live all circles of time

Time; transcend beyond all life, transcend beyond
On! until the end of time, on and on!
Live! before we waste our time, withering time

Withering time, so elusive
So shapeless
Graceful coul, crumbling glory
It will revive
Exalt the endless chain
Exalt the withering times

  2. i.... c....

    She is a light lyric soprano

  3. D.... T....

    Can I get some lyrics for this?

    D.... T....

    Just search; 'After forever withering time lyrics'.
    There are several sites giving song lyrics.
    I do it all the time; When I post songs on facebook, I often include the lyrics.
    Shalom

    increible aqui a floor se les escucha la voz mas fuerte mas gruesa con mas punch

  5. S.... R....

    I would buy this CD if it weren't for all the growling and snarling. Sorry guys. No purchase of what could have been a fantastic album.

    S.... R....

    I used to hate the growls as well, now I actually enjoy them. 

    S.... R....

    They're awesome. Idk..
    I mean, I would like the Song more without the female vocals.
    (it's not like  I don't like the song.)

    S.... R....

    +Steven Richards the growling and snarling makes the album 10 times better than it allready is without it. What are you talking about?? I love the growling and snarling.

    S.... R....

    It's part of the music they made. If you don't like it, you should listen to Within Temptation, but not their first album, that contains growling and snarling too

  6. D.... ....

    This song is so goood to my ears, badass riffs and Floors voice!

  7. H.... W....

    Floor is amazing <3

  8. n.... ....

    Aw! I love After Forever. Too bad they're not together anymore, but if it was the case, we wouldn't have ReVamp and Floor as the new lead in Nightwish. This song is awesome :D

  9. l.... m....

    I can't help but be excited that Floor is going to be the new lead singer of Nightwish... Honestly I think they couldn't have made a better choice if they tried. It's perfect. <3 I'll be looking forward to their next album.

  10. N.... ....

    I'm still sad :(

  11. 6.... ....

    I think the grunts are well done in this band. They are not just used as another gimmick they are a key part in the song. Much better than the ones in Epica songs imo.

  12. G.... S....

    You made my day!!!!! <3

  13. k.... ....

    YYYEEEESSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they got rid of anette!!!!!!!!! nightwish sounds badass once again, maybe floor cana bring justice to tarja's songs!!!!!

  14. A.... G....

    hehehe from today's perspective that sounds like prophecy :)))

  15. M.... ....

    It is F***ing AWESOME!

  16. c.... p....

    LOVE IT, MAGICAL!

  17. B.... R....

    Reminds me of Black Butler :)

  18. M.... R....

    Holy Nightwish this is awesome.

  19. W.... L....

    I love the bass 3:04

  20. B.... L....

    @BlackRavenFeather565 They are saying "Broken, blistering, lashing, splintering
    Cracking, crawling, flying, withering time" c:

  21. B.... ....

    Anyone have any idea what they are saying (if they are saying anything) at 3:23?

  22. s.... l....

    Three fucking idiots.

  23. S.... M....

    Floor, you do floor me! How can the choir be so majestic??

  24. K.... O....

    @ballwizard6 Epica wouldn't exist if it weren't for this band.

  25. R.... O....

    @ballwizard6
    This is way better then Epica. Too bad this band doesn't exist no more.. :(

  26. l.... ....

    @ballwizard6 Actually it's not.

  27. b.... ....

    this is just like that epica band

    b.... ....

    Far superior

  28. R.... S....

    @SalandFindles yeah but its not used in all the songs, and in the ones that it is used in, at most it switches 50-50 between the grunts and Floor, which isnt dominating the song

  29. S.... ....

    It's okay when used to a certain degree. But if it's all the music consists of, then it's highly annoying.

  30. S.... ....

    Well, if you're listening to After Forever, get used to it, because it's a common and frequently used thing in this band.

  31. S.... ....

    No. lol

  32. S.... ....

    I disagree. ReVamp is very good. Just wait until they find their definite niche in their genre and come out with a 2nd album. It's going to be epic as fuck.

    S.... ....

    SalandFindles the first one was much better

  33. R.... S....

    @OhtarwenElenya Yeah I think the contrast of the deep, heavy grunts with Floor's much higher, lighter tone adds a lot to these songs.

  34. D.... ....

    Absolutely brilliant

  35. J.... J....

    I love this song! After Forever for the WIN!

  36. G.... ....

    AWESOME SONG!!!

  37. D.... ....

    orgasmic song ftw

  38. G.... ....

    Yeah Therion are Amazing!!!
    After Forever is amazing too!!
    Both are my favorite bands!!
    Awesome song,one of the bests from
    After Forever

  39. C.... O....

    GREAT!!! LOVE THEM!!
    AFTER FOREVER!!! hell yeah!!

  40. O.... ....

    I agree with what you say. I also can hear it complements Floor's voice but I would have preferred a low deep voice than grunts. I am getting slightly used to them after hearing the songs many times...

  41. C.... A....

    I have come to like the grunts because I think After Forever keeps a good balance with it (I really dislike bands that only have grunts). I think it compliments Floor's voice and makes her sound even more beautiful. I especially like the trade off in "De-Energized" (because I almost feel like it sounds like a devil-temptation thing).

  42. O.... ....

    Gorgeous song.
    Great band. Imo now better than NW (my all time favourites) who have lost their n°1 crown due to their poor choice of singer.
    Not too keen on the grunts though. Too bestial for my taste...

  43. s.... ....

    Play on! Play on! Encore! Encore! :D
