lyrics

Afterlife

I'll see you in better places.
Far from the strife, smiles without faces.
Wondrous sights, no eyes for the seeing.
Home in the joy, a realm of pure being.

When all you have left is your last dying breath
and all of your thoughts are devoid and bereft
of hope and the wish that time will forgive
all of the mistakes and dramas you lived.
Didn't you live?

I'll see you, my sisters and brothers
in unity where there is no “other”.
Beyond space and time, beyond the search for meaning.
Beyond material, beyond illusions and dreaming.

When your time comes and your reflex is fear,
the world grows dim and you regret all your sins.
Your eyes focus on a distant glint of light,
the flesh fades away and the passage grows bright.
Isn't it bright?

They will meet you there. They will grasp your hand.
They will pull you out of this troubled land.
