Song4 - After All

This one was inspired by a news story I read. This story mentioned that the space shuttle accidents should never have happened... those lessons had been learned ealier, but because political pressure overrode the objections of engineers, safety was compromised... and the space program set back. It echoes with the statement "Those who fail to heed History are doomed to repeat it"

I'm not very happy with the vocals on this one... my throat is showing the strain of the cold and the constant singing... I'm impresssed I still have a voice... by this time last FAWM, it was pretty much gone.

Anyway, here it is, warts and all... on to 5

LYRICS

After All

Dance with the devil
To reach to the sky
Prance in the flames
To make it all fly

Claw through the sunlight
To reach for the stars
The feathers will drop
Before reaching mars

(chorus)
Hear a lesson
We all must learn
A pretty shine
Means you might get burned
How high you fly
Is how far you'll fall
That's the way it works
After all

Check twice and cut once
Be sure to check again
And when you must go
Know where you have been

Echoes of the earth shakes
Like days that slowly fade
The worst of mistakes
The ones already made

(Chorus repeat)
