Hi,

Deutsch is not my mother tongue and I need help. I've heard song Gib niemals auf (band Drei Meter Feldweg, punk rock) and there was a verse "Auf Dunkelheit folgt Licht". I do understand the meaning, but I would expect "Nach Dunkelheit folgt Licht".

I did some research and it comes from latin "Post tenebras lux" (Licht nach der Dunkelheit) from Bible.

Can someone explain to me, whether this is grammatically correct and just an archaic form? On the plain sight it is not making much sense.

Thank you very much.

Miguel
