I need to change my pants after that solo god damn. Amazing track!

Awesome song! Really well done all the way through

One of your best, dude. This is honestly a song that could be a hit. You should send it to Tom Meighan or something. His new stuff sucks

It started off as a dream
Of riches and fame
The world in my reach
The game of all games
But it grew to be more
The highest of highs
Soaring like eagles
Miles in the sky

All in the name of rock ‘n’ roll
It’s all in the name of rock ‘n’ roll
All in the name of rock ‘n’ roll

It was a fantasy
That could not be lived
Ah, beautiful women
Money to give
But it grew to be more
Now rock is my game
Baby I’ll share with you
My riches and fame, yeah

It’s all in the name of rock ‘n’ roll
All in the name of rock ‘n’ roll
All in the name of rock ‘n’ roll

Gave my heart, I gave my soul
I lost my ears to rock ‘n’ roll
I gave my youth, I gave my life
I lost my wife to rock ‘n’ roll, yeah

All in the name of rock ‘n’ roll
It’s all in the name of rock ‘n’ roll
All in the name of rock ‘n’ roll

Oh God is it a dream?
Am I insane?
A song in my heart
I feel no pain
But it’s more than a dream
The furthest of far
Burning like fire, yeah
Glowing like stars

All in the name of rock ‘n’ roll
It’s all in the name of rock ‘n’ roll
All in the name of rock ‘n’ roll

It might have started as a dream
Of glory and hope
Sell out live concerts
And parties and dope
But it grew to be more
The freest of free
With its power and riches, yeah
Rock ‘n’ roll made me

All in the name of rock ‘n’ roll
It’s all in the name of rock ‘n’ roll
All in the name of rock ‘n’ roll
It’s all in the name of rock ‘n’ roll

It’s all in the name of 
It’s all in the name of 
It’s all in the name of 
Rock ‘n’ roll, yeah

LYRICS:
VERSE 1
My time
Has run out
The day has ended
And there's no colour left in me
Like a shroud
The silence wraps around me
What makes the quiet sound so loud

CHORUS 1
I know that I
Am not afraid
Of what comes after 
Don't fear the darkness
Washing over me
So shine a light
Shine a light
And give me answers
Don't know if I
Am ready to believe

VERSE 2
I've had my time
And I hope I'll be remembered 
Now take me where I have to go
(I have to go)
When nothing's left
And the flames are only embers
When will I wake up from this dream
(Wake up from this dream)

CHORUS 2
I know that I
Am not afraid
Of what comes after 
Don't fear the darkness
Washing over me
So shine a light
Shine a light
And give me answers
Don't know if I
Am ready to believe
Don't know if I
Am ready to believe
Don't know if I
Am ready to believe

CHORUS 3
I know that I
Am not afraid
Of what comes after 
Don't fear the darkness
Washing over me
So shine a light
Shine a light
And give me answers
Don't know if I
Am ready to believe
Don't know if I
Am ready to believe
Don't know if I
Am ready to believe
Don't know if I
Am ready to believe

What Comes After (feat. Alto Jefferson)

"a delicious combination of low-fi grunge, mixed with angsty alternative and pop rock" - wedistribute.org Mixtape #1

I'm an amateur songwriter/lyricist and bedroom musician from the UK.

This profile has all of my completed tracks, works in progress and various other random ideas that will probably never go anywhere but I like to keep around...

My main instruments are piano/keyboard and vocals, plus some occasional guitar when I can't find anyone else to play it for me!

I do a lot of online collaboration with other musicians (mainly through Bedroom Bands on Reddit), which is always fun - it's a great way of finishing songs of my own and I also sometimes contribute vocals and lyrics to other people's projects. I'm always open to new collaborations, so if you like what you hear here and fancy working on something together, let me know!

Stuff I've featured on: https://soundcloud.com/unbuiltboy/sets/featuring

Works in progress: https://soundcloud.com/unbuiltboy/sets/work-in-progress/s-stwZa

Current likes: Louis Cole, KNOWER, Cosmo Jarvis, Divorce, FIZZ

Influences: Eels, Mansun, Ben Folds/Ben Folds Five, Spacehog/Royston Langdon, Supergrass, The Divine Comedy, David Bowie, Radiohead, Weezer & Tenacious D
