Story behind the song

This song is a love story told in reverse, starting with a dead body and ending with love at first sight.

Lyrics

After the body has stiffened
After the bleeding has stopped
After the bullet pierced the heart
After the shot

After the final confession
After the fear to confront
After the growing suspicion
After the doubt creeps up

The coals are black in the morning light
The winter winds are a sharpened knife
Plunged inside as you realize
Gone are the days that you spent side by side

After the hours away from home
After the sins of the flesh
After the passion has drained away
After the lust

After the feeling of forevermore
After the magical night
After the question is answered “yes”
After the love at first sight
