|
I believe in the afterlife |
|
We walk the ancient pathways of the sky |
|
Through the Heavens hallowed halls |
|
Cross the epochs and the eons carved in time |
|
Our drift through life is mist |
|
A smoke filled mirror gone |
|
Returned to dust |
|
There's a chill in the air tonight |
|
As what once was has passed |
|
On through and gone |
|
Enduring anthems crossing |
|
Time and crossing miles |
|
Charismatic countenance |
|
Upon a distant fading smile |
|
I walked for hours |
|
And I never felt the rain |
|
And through your window |
|
Just your shadow will remain |
|
Only your shadow remains |
|
Ashes to ashes they say |
|
Then dust to dust |
|
And what was unbroken divides |
|
And the, the answer |
|
To this mortality walking on by |
|
The circle remains here my friend |
|
We guard it with trust |
|
And cast what remains to the sea |
|
In our wailing we will suffer |
|
No last goodbye |
|
The empty days go by |
|
Fending off the slow decline of fall |
|
Raise your head up high |
|
And let the sorrow sing into your soul |
|
Oh, I'm never gonna be the same |
|
Echoes of this ghost song fade away |
|
Enduring anthems crossing |
|
Time and crossing miles |
|
Sail on forever sail unto |
|
Your rest from trials |
|
Sing songs of wisdom sing that |
|
Chilling last refrain |
|
And through your window |
|
Just your shadow will remain |
|
Only your shadow remains |
|
You chart, your life into |
|
A tidy little graph |
|
Of where you've been |
|
All you've seen |
|
But then |
|
There suddenly comes a day |
|
You reach the end but only to |
|
The life you knew |
