“Mortal After All” talks about what happens after someone dies. The song explores the sadness of the friends and family of founder member Tom Searle, who died because of cancer in late 2016.
[Intro]
I guess we're mortal after all
[Verse 1]
One day all of us will give up the ghost
Too lost in the light to see what matters most
All ends will be met
And all worlds must collapse
[Chorus]
Another part of the symphony lost between eternity
But God is in the detail
I know that there's a part of me, doomed to face infinity
'Cause every wave has gotta break
Has gotta break
[Verse 2]
The truth is, all of us are hostages
Staring down the throat of the screaming abyss
Surrendering is half the battle
But we're powerless to resist
[Chorus]
Another part of the symphony lost between eternity
But God is in the detail
I know that there's a part of me, doomed to face infinity
'Cause every wave has gotta break
[Bridge]
Have you forgotten the deal we made?
I've seen the end and the pain we trade
All these walls will fall
I guess we're mortal after all
The end will come for all of us
This all rests on the fault line
All ends will be met
And all worlds must collapse
[Chorus]
Another part of the symphony lost between eternity
But God is in the detail
I know that there's a part of me, doomed to face infinity
'Cause every wave has gotta break
Has gotta break, yeah
[Outro]
Have you forgotten the deal we made?
I've seen the end and the pain we trade
All these walls will fall
I guess we're mortal after all

This was the first song that we’ve heard from Josh [Middleton]. Josh absolutely killed it. I think is one of the coolest choruses on the record.
