[Verse 1: Doug "SA" Martinez]

Returning from the water, cold, alive and shining

Rock a mic in the afterlife a-while your moon is rising

Heatin' up, forcin' steam whirling to be seen

The dark held stars are the frost of my breathing

Swimming through the darkness, I'm a ghostly shark

Developing like a photograph slowly in the dark

The hereafter, the action, the main attraction

One love in all of this that I'm going after


[Instrumental Break]


[Verse 2: Doug "SA" Martinez]

Now there's fire inside but black space surrounds you

You think "Where oh where am I?", but even your light continues

See through us see a soul we have not yet

Learned to harness, see the next world inside it

We are the people of skin who left water

Inside the dark womb, inside of our mother

Prone to our beat and vibe of our tribe

We catch the drift and ride moving tides

Out from a love that will keep on burning

Now see yourself to the next world returning

This life, an old place we face to live again

What is it to understand the hereafter?


[Guitar Solo]
