They say I don't think enough
about the afterlife
of what's below and above
it's all in black and white
they say there's only one kind of love
you have to choose just right
they say there's ony one kind of love
in the afterlife
kiss it all goodbye
in the afterlife
you don't get another try
but I can't see, I don't know how
that I won't be what I am now, no
even in my afterlife
and I won't have some other heart
that could find peace though we're apart, no
even in my afterlife
it's not enough anymore
to be good in this life
they say you've got to be sure
so you can sleep at night
the only love that endures
gives up without a fight
the only love that endures
in the afterlife
kiss it all goodbye
in the afterlife
it was just a clever lie
if I could never see your face
then I would have to fall from grace, I know
even in my afterlife
or for eternity be blind
to your presence in my mind, no
even in my afterlife
and they could promise me a seat
at the right side of the throne
but all would still be incomplete
within the holy host, alone
without the guiding light so sweet
that has forever led me on
for me there's no eternal rest
you and I have unfinished business
yes, yes
even in my afterlife
if I could still hold one thought clear
then you will instantly appear, I know
even in my afterlife
but I can't see, I don't know how
that I won't be what I am now, no
even in my afterlife
and I won't have some other heart
that could find peace though we're apart, no
even in my afterlife
for I could not repose in bliss
nevermore to know your kiss
Waaah! Waaah!
I touched with one
who made me run
away from my own soul...
In this world with its
many illusions
We are moving like mice through a
maze
And now I find
what's left behind
has served to make me whole
full of doubt, deception, and delusion
seeking purpose to all earthly days
I search within
beneath a skin
that bears both pleasure and pain
In a world full of constant confusion
I will not be a par to the craze
In the Afterlife
will dark be bright?
will cold be warm?
will the day have no night?
In the Afterlife?
will the blind have sight?
In the Afterlife
Behind closed eyes
some comfort lies
In knowing the truth never spoken
Through this world with us
hidden conclusion
we'll keep moving like mice through
a maze
In the Afterlife
will dark be bright?
will cold be warm?
will the day have no night?
In the Afterlife?
will the blind have sight?
In the Afterlife
In the Afterlife
will dark be bright?
will cold be warm?
will the day have no night?
In the Afterlife?
will the blind have sight?
Lord God Almighty let me tell the news
My head got wet in midnight dew

Run on, ducking and dodging
Run on, children (?), for a long time

Some people go to church just to sit in the fire
Trying to make a date with a neighbor's wife
Brother let me tell you just as sure as you're born
You better leave that woman alone
Go tell that lonesome liar
Go tell that midnight rider
Tell the gamblin', ramblin' backslider

Run on, children (?), for a long time
I tasted fire, I'm ready to come alive.
I can't just shut it up, and fake that I'm alright.
I'm ready now, I'm not waiting for the afterlife.
I'll let it burn the way the sunlight burns my skin.
The way I feel inside, the way the day begins.
I'm ready now, I'm not waiting for the other side
I'm ready now, I'm ready now
Cuz everyday, the world is made a chance to change,
but I feel the same and I wonder why
would I wait till I die to come alive
I'm ready now, I'm not waiting for the afterlife.
Yeah
I still believe we could live forever
You and I we begin forever now
Forever now, Forever
I still believe in us together
You and I we're here together now, Forever now
Forever now, or never now
Cuz every day, the world is made a chance to change,
but I feel the same and I wonder why
would I wait till I die to come alive
I'm ready now, I'm not waiting for the afterlife.
Everyday a choice is made
Everyday I choose my fate and I wonder why
would I wait till I die to come alive
to come alive
Everyday, everyday, everyday I still feel the same
and I wonder why would I wait till I die to come alive
I'm ready now, I'm not waiting for the afterlife
I'm ready now, I'm ready now, I'm ready now, I'm ready
I'm ready now, I'm not waiting for the afterlife
Yeah
Yeah
When my old man he said to me you're growing fast boy there's so much to see
You take a wife, new born, a family, he said you'd see when it comes time
To be a man to do what's right
You'll always find a way to make your way through life
When my old man he said to me treat mankind with dignity
Start with no one finding someone that you need
Wonder where we go, is there really an afterlife
Never growing old, going home will free his spirit
When my old man he said to me the world moves fast boy with no guarantees
Trust in no one till you find someone you believe
Then my father past away from this world to a grave
Mother earth, sands of time a better place, the afterlife
Wonder where we go, is there really an afterlife
Never growing old, going home will free his spirit
Never ending love, is there hope in the afterlife
Reach into my soul, I'll see my dad in the afterlife
When my old man was alive he always would teach
When my old man was alive he always believed in me
He helps shape his son, the man that I've become
Then my old man said to me embrace the past
Listen son carry on our legacy
Then my father passed away from this world to a grave
Mother earth, sands of time a better place, the afterlife
Wonder where we go, is there really an afterlife
Never growing old, going home will free his spirit
Never ending love, is there hope in the afterlife
Do you believe in the afterworld
Or the afterlife?
Do you agree there's a place for us
Beyond our life
Where the timeless call for life
Is lost and you will see
The forgotten dreams
That you once had become reality
They will be set free - another day
You cannot leave if you do not want to stay
In the afterlife - in the afterlife
Life's a dream that you will forget
In the endless space
And the scars you got on planet Earth
Will be erased
You were blind until your eyes have stopped to see
And your powers unfold by the moment
You hit eternity
You will be set free
But you'll never return
That's the price you have to pay
In the afterlife - in the afterlife
Now you're gone without a word
You didn't say goodbye
I miss you here where are you now
An angel in the sky?
Your visit here has been so short
You left to be set free
But I believe we'll meet again
And together we will stay
In the afterlife - in the afterlife
It's fake I'm sure Afterlife
Slowly sinking I reach for
you But you're not sure
the sky is blue
Your hand in mine
We'll walk the stars Unashamed of who
we are We'll rule this world
with my big cock
oh God I love you
I live to rock
What are you made of
What are you afraid of Pussy Get on
this hot fire Let me hear you scream
my good friend
[Bonus Track]
Afterlife...
Tommy's lost his mind
What he feels inside
Is too hard to carry on
He walks away
Like a blind
His life has no replay
Awaken his mind
He travels to the afterlife
Forsaken inside
Afterlife...
Tome walks alone
Staring at the skies
Wandering what's going on
He wanna pray
Say goodbye
Die another day
Awaken his mind
He travels to the afterlife
As you feel, your soul depart from this world
Prepare for a journey, to regions of the unknown
Your life has now ended
You fear the conclusion
Cast into the dark realms
Destined to the afterlife
As terror, grips your soul
Direction is uncertain
Fear clouds your mind
Ignorance your burden
Afterlife
Within the dominion of the lifeless, you plead to die in peace
Now despair for total forgiveness, trapped within your belief
You lived your life as a follower, bowing to every command
Your gods shall never answer, imprisoned in this land
All is silent
Held within
Existing forever
New life begins
External desolation
Your soul to give
Enslaved for all existence - perpetual endless torment
She got the antidote she knows the other way
She really understands I don’t what the hell to say
I'm on the other side I'm on the other side
I'm in exile to left of a landslide
I got no broken wing
I got the moonshine
I let my enemies slide for the meantime
Why don’t you let it go
Why don’t you let it go
Why don’t you let it go
Let it go let it go
And I give myself away
When there’s nothing left to say
I surrender myself to the wind
Into the afterlife (Into the afterlife)
with you and me
into the afterlife (Into the afterlife)
with you and me
The worries on your face
The stars came out to play
I try to tell myself
I won’t mess up again
I try to fix it good
I try to patch it up
I got a manual that tells us how we have to love
Forgot your neighbor forgot your love
Forgot the strength cause you can never get enough
Why don’t you let it go
Why don’t you let it go
Why don’t you let it go
Let it go let it go
And I give myself away
When there’s nothing left to say
I surrender myself to the wind
Love is sinking fast within
Into the afterlife (Into the afterlife)
With you and me
Into the afterlife (Into the afterlife)
with you and me
You and me
Come inside, come over here
I remember you through all the years
Don’t try to run us down
When the world is at your feet
Don't let the baby bite
(Bite bite)
She got the antidote
She knows the other way
She really under understands
I don’t what the hell to say
I'm on the other side
I'm on the other side
I'm in exile to left of a landslide
And I give myself away
When there’s nothing left to say
I surrender myself to the wind
Love is sinking fast within
Into the afterlife (Into the afterlife)
With you and me
Into the afterlife (Into the afterlife)
with you and me
Into the afterlife (Into the afterlife)
With you and me anekatips
Why don’t you let it go
Why don’t you let it go
With you and me
Into the afterlife
Why don’t you let it go
Why don’t you let it go
Why don’t you let it go
Like walking into a dream
So unlike what you've seen
So unsure but it seems
'Cause we?ve been waiting for you
Fallen into this place
Just giving you a small taste
Of your afterlife here so stay
You'll be back here soon anyway
I see a distant light
But girl, this can't be right
Such a surreal place to see
So how did this come to be, arrived too early?
And when I think of all the places
I just don't belong
I've come to grips with life
And realize this is going too far
I don't belong here, we gotta move on, dear
Escape from this afterlife
?Cause this time I'm right to move on and on
Far away from here
A place of hope and no pain
Perfect skies with no rain
Can leave this place but refrain
'Cause we've been waiting for you
Fallen into this place
Just giving you a small taste
Of your afterlife here so stay
You'll be back here soon anyway
This peace on earth's not right
(With my back against the wall)
No pain or sign of time
(I?m much too young to fall)
So out of place don't wanna stay
I feel wrong and that's my sign
I've made up my mind
Give me your hand
But realize I just wanna say goodbye
Please understand I have to leave
And carry on my own life
I don't belong here, I gotta move on, dear
Escape from this afterlife
?Cause this time I'm right to move on and on
Far away from here
Got nothing against you
And surely I'll miss you
This place full of peace and light
And I?d hope you might
Take me back inside when the time is right
Loved ones back home all crying
'Cause they're already missing me
I pray by the grace of God
That there's somebody listening
Give me a chance to be that person I wanna be
(I am unbroken, I?m choking on this ecstasy)
Oh Lord, I'll try so hard but You gotta let go of me
(Unbreak me, unchain me, I need another chance to live)
I don't belong here, I gotta move on, dear
Escape from this afterlife
?Cause this time I'm right to move on and on
Far away from here
Got nothing against you
And surely I'll miss you
This place full of peace and light
And I?d hope you might
Take me back inside when the time is right
I'll live forever
And see beyond the stars
And I'll love forever
Then fall into your arms
I'll cry forever
And flood the world apart
I'll hate forever
And burn your wooden heart
An omen waits for all
Some things will always be
And stand the test of time
Will you spare my soul
Or will you set me free
No man will ever know
Forever I must roam
I'll reap forever
A tale so lost in doubt
And you'll sleep forever
There will be no way out
If you cry forever
Why drown in your own sorrow
Why care forever
When there is no tomorrow
An omen waits for all
Some things will always be
And stand the test of time
Will you spare my soul
Or will you set it free
No man will ever know
Forever I must roam
To the darkest star I wake
In the evening moon I take
When I see you there
I fall beyond despair
Suffer through your death
Because of the life you lead
Pain will be intense
You will never rest
Seas of fire and blood
See the millions dead below
Life torn from the flesh
Carcass just remains
Now the time has come
Ripping of your flesh
Sever bone from skin and meat
Tear your heart from your chest
Make you watch it beat
Screaming out in pain
They ignore all of your pleas
See the blood and guts
Can't ignore the turth
Demon souls arise
From the depths of hell below
Take part in the feast
Gorging on the pain
Now the time has come
Walking through the seas of fire
No more can you lie
Throne of hell before you now
Body starts to fry
Figure shows eternal death
Torment night and day
Demons come to torture you
Try to crawl away
The pain is intense
Can't stand putrid stench
Those who you have done wrong
Now have their revenge
You scream out in anguish
Quick death is your last wish
Rotting seas of fire and blood
See the millions dead below
Life torn from the flesh
Carcass just remains
I am the vengeance, a link between the worlds
Souring in legions, controller of all
I am the substance of the chaos
There's one dominion, an evil and divine
Spawn the inferno, oblivion calls
Don't look for sanctuary coming
The end is calling
Deceive and destroy
Afterlife - revelations unveil
A blackness remains, the end of the line
Ashes of man, eye of the one divine
The blackness ascends, powers untold
The Afterlife
The heart of chaos, will manifest again
The seed of the serpent, the dagger of doom
So even death can die in deadland
The phantom's aeon
Dream is denied
No color on this face of death,
no shadow Falls on his last breath
What are we Fighting for?
No more devotion in his eyes,
no longing moments, no more goodbyes
What are we Fighting for?
Too many lives in one place,
too many souls lay here to waste
What are we Fighting for?
Send a signal From above,
is there life is there love
What do you see?
Is there hope,
is there air no more despare,
when will we be Free?
The man i lived for all this life,
now dies in Front of my own eyes
What are we Fighting for?
the memories of a crippled Fool,
no legacy but life's so cruel
What are we Fighting for?
Too many lives in one place,
too many souls lay here to waste
What are we Fighting for?
Send a signal From above,
is there life is there love
What do you see?
Is there hope,
is there air no more despare,
when will we be Free?
Once i had this Final plan,
now i don't know where to stand,
what will be, will be,
draw to this final line,
as blood runs through my wind
So much more to see.
The memories all Fade away,
Way too old to throw these fits
Forces greater do exist
Stomach pains that bring about this feeling of despair
Focused on the in between
Fuck this shit, it's all a dream
Back and forth distressing me, it's hard to even care
Get in and shut the door
What are you waiting for?
Turn it up I said, 'cause I never get tired of the radio
Burning through my head
The song gets better, man every time I hear it so
Play it when I'm dead, at my funeral so I hear it in the afterlife
In the afterlife
Missions still a bit unclear
Lock the doors and hide in fear
Pray to god, will live to be a thousand but for what?
Everyday I think of this
Weight it out and take my risks
Waiting for the chance to say enough has been enough
Get in and shut the door
What are you waiting for?
Turn it up I said, 'cause I never get tired of the radio
Burning through my head
The song gets better, man every time I hear it so
Play it when I'm dead, at my funeral so I hear it in the afterlife
Feeling rises with the heat
It's getting harder now to sleep
This devastation, lost sensation, how'd this come about
Then you crawl into my brain
But I know I'm not insane
This melody that takes me nowhere
Turn it up I said, 'cause I never get tired of the radio
Burning through my head
The song gets better, man every time I hear it so
Play it when I'm dead, at my funeral so I hear it in the afterlife
The wheel of life turns forever
A horizon begins to each that dies
Transmigration follows every soul
Must we all live an endless life
Afterlife's spell
The end is birth
Earth is hell
Dream of the kingdom are shattered
You will never enter heaven
We all must live eternal life
Living in the torment of death
The wheel of life turns forever
A horizon begins to each that dies
Transmigration follows every soul
The act of death is certain, it's your right to want to want to know
What lies beyond this world and what awaits your future now
Waiting for the afterlife
Waiting for your time to die
Waiting for the afterlife
Waiting till the time is right
Waiting for the afterlife
Waiting, wanting, searcing, suffering
Waiting for the afterlife
Time is upon you time to die
Why don't stop to ponder, why you're afraid of death
Why don't you stop and wonder, what could be worse than this
Now you're alone your life has ceased I can feel it
All of your hatred has come undone
I've watched you live, I've watched you die I have seen it
And now it's over I can finally move on
Your time spent here is over now you deal with it
No coming back, never living, I know
To earn freedom, you must let go, I now know it
Of all the hatred, for it's time to move on
Waiting for the afterlife
Waiting for your time to die
Waiting for the afterlife
Waiting till the time is right
Waiting for the afterlife
Waiting, wanting, searching, suffering
Waiting for the afterlife
Time is upon you time to die
Why don't stop to pnder, why you're afraid of death
Why don't you stop and wonder, what could be worse than this
I can't stand by and watch you wait for an after
Life that has been promised to you by your faith
Why would you believe such nonsense without any
i live the high life with lowlifes who want life to go
down the middle of the marketplace where souls are bought and sold
in rap olympics, forfeit when the starting pistol sounds
make my words like safety nets so i can catch heads on the way down
found limits the breath that i breathe in this life that i lead
it's where the city's smog infested skyline infects my lifetime
bring sentences to life like, "see spot run across the freeway"
you can catch it on the fox news instant replay
i start the finished product minus the first sign of a blemish
trek towards the infinite if i can break this line of scrimmage
skywalk through clones attacking me, myself and samuel jackson
to live life firsthand 'til the second hand is reversed
blurred words written down, world wishing i'd curse them out
so they can call me a hypocrite and disrespect what i'm about
flirt with disastrous methods, lessons pressed on earthquakes
make soundtracks for your life with every move that i make...
my life moves and it changes and it grows
my life, i fight for life throughout the highs and lows
my life is sacrifice, open wounds and broken habits
my life, come here, take a second look at it
my life moves and it changes and it grows
my life, i fight for life throughout the highs and lows
my life is just a token, a tool for you to see with
it's my life, but here, you can take it if you need it...
i got my mind on my money that i buried inside the backyard
slaves to the industry push the plow, get their backs scarred
i'm thinking how to snatch your shotgun before you shoot it
the mountains are all snowcapped but the beaches are all polluted
i still walk the narrow path tightrope style, eyes open to the trials
while most of ya'll stay in denial
hold on like a child to what's real, the rest falls by the wayside
trace the hands of time to touch the face of el shaddai
but some of ya'll don't play right, you bite backs and attack life
my back to the wall, eyes glued to the eyes of christ
that's right, fan base is where open ears can listen
bump big business, my fast ball shatters the competition
win at least the division for the vision and still insisting
that we can gain the power, run the labels and make the decisions
my life, write songs for you and the people on your block
it'll blast on 88 whether the majors want it or not
just breathe. breathe in the pain that comes with the growing
kiss the ground i walk upon and thank my god for the whole thing
take the bull by the horns because i gotta do something
a nation of manchildren is now under construction...
my life moves and it changes and it grows
my life, i fight for life throughout the highs and lows
my life is sacrifice, open wounds and broken habits
my life, come here, take a second look at it
my life moves and it changes and it grows
my life, i fight for life throughout the highs and lows
my life is just a token, a tool for you to see with
it's my life, but here, you can take it if you need it...
i've slap-boxed with my brother and broken bread with whose buying
crouching tiger to hidden gratitude, impossible for me to see
the divine schematics or divide the triune through mathematics
stand with a mic in my right hand with the left clutching a crucifix
i haven't felt this worn down since i last listened to ludacris
but i'm born new every morning, look in the mirror asking "who is this?"
see the battle scars i've earned, oh yeah, i remember now
i'm the one who builds 'til walls are torn down, so what now?
the crowd disperses, dry wit falls off my person
manifest destiny, show my faith through action in remixed versions
dress the wounded with compassion no matter who's the victor
expose the world to the son's light and i hope they all get blistered
a mystery of life lived and you can't know until you live this
'til you fall on your face everyday and ask him for forgiveness
hide my rage where i can't find it 'cause it always keeps me blinded
i'm still living my life and this here is just a reminder...
my life moves and it changes and it grows
my life, i fight for life throughout the highs and lows
my life is sacrifice, open wounds and broken habits
my life, come here, take a second look at it
my life moves and it changes and it grows
my life, i fight for life throughout the highs and lows
my life is just a token, a tool for you to see with
Don't shut your eyes to me
I want to make you see
Our destiny, how it's supposed to be
And let the darkness fade
Find comfort in my shade
'Cos you're not alone, no you're not alone
Can we see, can we feel when we're in the afterlife
Do you know, how I know to believe in you
Because I do
Can we hope, can we love, can it be our destiny
'Cos I'm listening
Yes I'm listening
To you
Now don't you close your eyes
Stop telling me your lies
Don't live in fear, 'cos I won't disappear no
I hope you understand
I'll lend a helping hand
So come to me, 'cos I will set you free
Break the silence
Fill this emptiness
And hope for better days
Can we see, can we feel when we're in the afterlife
Do you know, how I know to believe in you
Because I do
Can we hope, can we love, can it be our destiny
'Cos I am listening
Yes I am listening
To you
Don't break me now
Don't tell me that it ends
Let us find another way to make amends
Don't hate me now
Don't turn the other way
Beyond the sea of faces, admist the staring eyes
despite distance, time and places, is a fear we can`t disguise
Trying to remember, a childhood memory
The echo of the voices, I can hear you calling me
How was I to know so long ago
you would not be here, to pick me up when I`m down
and all before my life is gone I will try to understand
The ending I fear is my own
[chorus]
Will I see you again in the afterlife, in the heavens high above?
Will you remember me in the afterlife, will you show me where to go?
and I`ll never understand, until I se you again in the afterlife
Will I see you again in the afterlife, will you recall my name?
you were all that I know and I`m never letting go
you`re forever in my heart and in my soul
[chorus]
Can`t fight the sadness and regret,
I`ll never know how to show you I care
all of the words I meant to say
now I`l have to tell some other way
[solo]
[chorus]
Can`t fight the sadness and regret,
I`ll never know how to show you I care
all of the words I meant to say
now I`l have to tell some other way
Time has come to give my life up to those hands
Those hands that I've been praying to
Step inside your mind and in time you will find
We live, we die, we fade into the afterlife
Welcome to the sand, sea, land
I won't soon feel bad
When will you work it out
Why can't you see for clouds
Sail on times we had
It's something that I've never been more scared of
In my whole life, whole life, whole life
I'm just a man who is dying
Time has come to give my life up to those hands
Those hands that I've been praying to
Step inside your mind and in time you will find
We live, we die, we fade into the afterlife
Welcome to the end of all time
It's like a light
It's like a way I feel now
It's something that I've never been more scared of
In my whole life, whole life, whole life
I'm just a man who is dying
Time has come to give my life up to those hands
Those hands that I've been praying to
Step inside your mind and in time you will find
We live, we die, we fade into the afterlife
The light goes down but it's much harder now
To bring my face up from the ground
To smile again
Time has come to give my life up to those hands
Those hands that I've been praying to
Step inside your mind and in time you will find
We live, we die, we fade into the afterlife
In the aftermath of an afterthought we come to terms
In a moment no hostile termination
Just reflection on the facts (on the facts)
(as I see them)
All that I, all that I have tried to do is be honest
with myself (yeah)
Now my agenda is shifting focus
Running against the tide of time
In an ocean of complexity and confusion
In the afterimage I've created for myself
In my afterlife - I've come of age
A generation late - my essence and my rage
A state of being here - my spirit soars
After time - after more
Laughter in the left field
Hanging on the ledge of what is real
I think it's gonna be all right
And I know you hear me
'Cause we're not that far apart
Now that I can see beyond myself
Last trip on a strange, strange ride
Every head a big world inside
Hey, it's my turn
Jawbreaker - jawbone
When the truth is finally shown
Now that I can see beyond myself
Now the truth is stranger than fiction
In my revolution of resistance
(now that I, now that I can see)
In a manic manipulation only contradictions follow
No exoneration in my afterimage I've created....
In my afterlife - I've come of age
A generation late - my essence and my rage
A state of being here - my spirit soars
After time - after more
In my afterlife - a soul of years
Beyond the frame of man
The boundaries and the years
In my afterlife the language grows
Would you save me from this place… adore me
Until my body melts away… explore me
I'm makin' rainbows in my mind
To watch a new world, grow inside
Can I dissolve into you… yeah
Fallin' to this sky so blue
Sunrise, sunrise, sunrise
Can you feel it now?
Sunrise, sunrise, sunrise
Can you feel it now?
Can I dissolve into you… allow me
To fall into the sky so blue… surround me
With every color in your heart… to suit me
And we'll wake up, in the morning sun
Sunrise, sunrise, sunrise
Can you feel it now?
Sunrise, sunrise, sunrise
Can you feel it now?
And to the east I worship
The Sun and its great mysteries
Find my roots to guidance
And walk through life with beauty
Sunrise, sunrise, sunrise
Can you feel it now?
Sunrise, sunrise, sunrise
Can you feel it now?
Sunrise, sunrise, sunrise
Can you feel it now?
Sunrise, sunrise, sunrise
Can you feel it now?
Can you feel it now?
Can you feel it now?
Can you feel it now?
I wish I could fly away
From this world today
Nobody knows me, Nobody needs me
Why am I here when everyone hate me
I wish that I could fly away
I wish I would not be here to day
I want to go home
Where I belong
Where all the good people stay
I'm flying with my angel
Away from worlds danger
Fly away from pain
I can't take any more shame
I don't believe that you know it
How to be fated, so very hated
I can't sleep at night
I walk my way, just like I should
Have to go, but I would stay if I could
My boat of life has sailed for many years
Some fell aboard and we brought them tears
But we never know, oh, where to go
No we never know, where to go
But we always know that life won't leave
When you die a certain truth is revealed
The plans we've made are like the waves we've sailed
And the lifeship travels on
A thing in the way, will we die today
Disappear and go away ?
If we'll drown we'll sink down
But our soals will ever stay
'Cause we never know, oh where to go
No, we never know, oh where to go
But we always know that life won't leave
When you die a certain truth is revealed
The plans we've made are like the waves we've sailed
And the lifeship travels on
Life like sand slips through the cracks
My memories drift into the past
Ages pass while seconds die
The screws loosened, unhinging my mind
In dark voids my spirit calls
Into the absymal sleep I fall
The visions of reality
Are now denied by my sight
This existence of falsity
Is cast aside...
Awakening my dream soul
Ecstasies echo passionately
My delighted eyes yearn more to see
Endlessly I gaze into beauty
Of ethereal realms, surrounding me
I want to stay forever
For eternity
Indescribable pleasures
Have too long denied me
Images begging to swirl
Astral scenes not of the world
Light cascade within my mind
Coalescing, growing bright
Mirrored forms begin to melt
As shadows dislodge and fade
Reality an evolved fantasy
As my sanity is now peeled away
Enslaved by my subconscious
From my twisted dreams, I'll not escape
Hold is all that we have
With each birth, every tear, we have hope, we have hope
Speck of gold in your heart
Everyone, everyone
Speck of gold in your heart
Every sun, everyone
Speck of gold
Cold, cold ways, I won't
Hold you heart to this light
One and all, one and all
Speck of gold
Speck of gold, that we just unfolded
Love your heart, love your heart
Speck of gold, everyone hold our sun
Wanna live
Speck of gold
Speck of dust on our sun
Shade our world, shade our world
Speck of dust on everyone
Save our sun, save our world
Speck of dust on our sun
Shade our world, shade our world
Speck of dust on everyone
In the aftermath of an afterthought we come to terms
In a moment no hostile termination
Just reflection on the facts (on the facts)
(as I see them)

In my afterlife - a soul of years
Beyond the frame of man
The boundaries and the years
In my afterlife the language grows
Captured by the unholy divine
Branding her breast with sign
Intensely torturing her body
In carnal lust, raping sodomy
Unto you a whore appease
To procreate the demon seed
Demented minds beyond sick
Spawning evil, wreakers of havoc
Sick demonic priests
Breed the unholy beasts
The birthing of new evils
Turns the world nocturnal
Conjured through the invocation
This savior shall bring our damnation
Evil spells are wove in hate
As the undead dance on parade
Creating maelstroms of fear
The dawn of the new lord is here
Summoned forth by the bishops
During the eve of eclipse
The murky changeling
Starts to augmentate
Within the womb
It effervesces and mutates
Chants all complete
Noxious winds sweep
Expelled from her chest
To seal man's fate
The veil of death begins to fall
Descending shroud consumes earth whole
Spilling like rain down from above
In divine lifeforce creation drowns
Cracking skin begins to peel
Rotting shell now reveals
Crusted blood dried to the slain
As denial envelopes
And expands deep inside
Writhing internally
Disarrying my mind
Contorting my thoughts
Into agony and pain
I estrange and depart
This life I forsake
My will to live on is gone
To die is what I long
Contemplate ways to die
As escape from pathetic life
Forlorn hope
Now slips away
My vitality
Hopelessly fades
My death will se me free
To rest
In serenity
My lunacy debilitates
And reasoning begins to fail
The will to be capitulates
I surrender to my self hate
My mind reels out of control
Dementia has taken hold
Hallucinations take their toll
Upon my withering soul
The blades touch is cold as ice
A flash of light blinds my eyes
I lacerate my flesh and vein
Vital lifeforce now inundates
Blood puddles spray from my wrists
Etched on my face a look of bliss
As I lie, watching time
I embrace the end of my life
Now set free, to journey
Where darkness caresses me
My life gone
Essence withdrawn
Standing alone I wait
For destiny to seal my fate
Judgement passed upon
By the breaking of dawn
Exiled to never see
The day when I will be free
I suffer throughout infinity
You spend your life chasing a dream
And say he guides your destiny
Live by the laws of prophecy
To exist in depravity
Why...
Upon your knees
You kneel and pray
Believing you draw strength faith
A dismal end
You know awaits
The emptiness of your cold grave
Can he truly save
Or are you a mindless slave
Will you find the way
Or find you signed your soul away
Yet live for a god unseen
And praise the holy dream
Claiming you have found new life
In the warmth of his migth
I resist and cannot see
The light of your expectancy
I choose to dwell in reality
Preach eternal life
For following blind
Foolishly you'll pay
Stricken by my darkest fears
And deprived of my golden years
Condemned by perpetual time
Existence is my only crime
The flames within
Flickering in a latent haze
The exhuasted breath of life dissipates
Benumbing tears
Draining from me eyes
As I lament
Moments before I die
Enthralled by quietudes somnolent hold
As the dead lights seduce my inner throne
My persona soars
Toward the light
Into the aperture
Though Noone seems to realize
EveryThough Noone seems to realize
Everytime, when someone dies
I feel the sorrow in My Heart...
But then, tomorrow is today
Again and again, nothing left to say
But We ALL do re-live it.
But now I hope you you'll understand
That I'm just fighting for my promised land.
Burning in the atomspier.
We can't always live in fear.
Though everyone is still afraid.
We steal the income of the home we made.
Away it goes, all away from here
But no one really knows for sure.
But now I hope you you'll understand
That I'm just fighting for my promised land.
Burning in the atomspier.
We can't always live in fear.
Nothing's over! Well, well, well.
We will find for us some place to dwell.
And there, we will NEVER have any kind of sorrow
But deep inside I know we'll all be gone tomorrow.
Tomorrow.
Time, when someone dies
I feel the sorrow in My Heart...
But then, tomorrow is today
Again and again, nothing left to say
But We ALL do re-live it.
But now I hope you you'll understand
That I'm just fighting for my promised land.
Burning in the atomspier.
We can't always live in fear.
Though everyone is still afraid.
We steal the income of the home we made.
Away it goes, all away from here
But no one really knows for sure.
But now I hope you you'll understand

And there, we will NEVER have any kind of sorrow
But deep inside I know we'll all be gone tomorrow.
Deceived by the unseen forces
That lurked within his mind
Dwelling in the distorting bottle
Changing thy fate for all of time
Personality and intelligence crucified
Crushing all will to live
Never finding the needed escape
Drifting endlessly, his soul to take
Thrust into adolescent perversity
Scars that can never be healed
Many a tale that was never told
The darkest misery takes its hold
Running through life, hoping for death
Seeking an end with every last breath
Temporarily pacifying the dread
With a false and twisted infatuation
Games of the mind bringing it down
High to low within seconds
Brainwashed by the eternal liar
Bringing you to your funeral pyre
The moment of the deepest sorrow
Comes to this shell of a being
The cold black metal pressed to his chest
Words of my appritiation
Will never come out trough
My screams of suffocation
I tried to reach to you
But my mind is lacking wisdom
In anger I Sream and shout
No escape from this prison
Come closer, LET ME OUT!
Our eyes are slowly burning
No way, I don't pretend
Trough me you're all returning
The future, a painful end
YEAH! My heart is bleeding
Oooh! Of the love I'm needing
See the world with my own two eyes
The apron string is clipped
Trough the air I feel the sparks fly
My mortal soal's been ripped
You No Longer need Attention
Pain is Rising, the Age of Fuse
Sustain Horizon, no need of use
BURN
All is falling
Heaven's calling
Call me up, I'm next in line
Free forever
All together
A beginning, of the Afterlife
Crash course in the eternal love
Begin on earth, finish above
RISE
All is falling
Heaven's calling
Calling up, I'm next in line
Free forever
Now we're together
Our beginning of the Afterlife
Remember to say goodbye
For now it's do or die
No help in screams and cries
It makes me think otherways
the ways that we throw away
the way the world had shaped,
but I can´t find my days.
It makes me think of a nation,
that is floated away.
It makes me think of a platt skies,
well above your head.
Makes me feel like,
makes me feel like... Calli´n
It makes me wonder how you,
how you try to control,
and do you ever rest your eyes of a child.
I know my ways they are lonely forget how I cry
You go somewhere
far now in your sleep
life is changing
in front of you and me.
And you try, and don´t care
and you try, you don´t care
And like the hands of a cloud
that has turning through life
and please don´t try to change me...
you watch.. the times.. crash.. over me..
Listen to the heartbeat...
It´s a constant pattern
that we´ve got to change
it is going forwards
backwards again...
No life to follow
Especially not mine
Hate feeds on sorrow
My memory of a crime
I know you don't remember
'Cause you were just a child
A whole explosion of anger
Humanity went wild
No risk was involved
But the soal of earth was down
You and you alone
And everybody else is gone
A fallen angel under star of sadness
I try to reach your hand
But I fall down in the sand
Can you feel them, feel the watching from beyond
That eerie feeling deep inside the one you can't explain
Troubled souls ignored like a ship lost at sea
It's like the distance growing deeper between you and me
How do you feel knowing times at its end
Decomposed like the corpse we all turn to be
Can't stop thinking about the times I'm missing
It's an untold tale of this story of betrayal
Time goes by I can watch them die
No one hears you no one sees you can I hear the cry
As time passes by
Sometimes I feel like I've passed on by
Can't stop wandering into the afterlife
Afterlife
I can't stop No
I won't stop No
What I've seen, you might find it hard to believe
It left feeling like, no one had ever made me
I want something, unsurpassed in its pleasures
Because even the truest love, still can't last forever
I want something I've never seen through these eyes
I want to feel like I've never felt in this life
I want something I've never seen through these eyes
I want to feel like I've never felt in this life
In this body of mine
When you hurt me, is it because you hurt yourself
When you look at me, why not try to see yourself
I want something that won't force my ears to listen
Because even the truest love, is still gonna have something missing
I want something I've never seen through these eyes
I want to feel like I've never felt in this life
I want something I've never seen through these eyes
I want to feel like I've never felt in this life
In this body of mine
I'm uncomfortable, in regular clothes
I want something I can depend on
And watch it grow
And watch it grow
Enlighten to me, I never want to be here again
Set me free, I never want to feel fear again
Please Pardon me, as I never meant to hurt anyone
Let me be, stronger for everyone
I want something I've never seen through these eyes
I want to feel like I've never felt in this life
In this body of mine
I want something that doesn't come easy
I want it so bad, I know some day I'll be that
I want it, but I know I'll never feel it not in this body of mine
It's futile when we've tried
everything's left inside
I guess that is why they thought we were sleeping
though the more that we hold the tide
the more that will drown the child
in spears of thought we help to endear
(chorus) - hold me gently
the world's below me I'm
caught in the afterlife
caught in this afterlife
take the beauty out of life
say you're spiritually redefined
I guess that is why they thought you were slipping
pull the trigger unleash the storm
don't say you were never warned
not to chance when this feeling has lapsed
(chorus)
hide the light
eyes no sight
bold the lie
facing the hole
so you see that I could never be
one mind for anyone like you
“How can we be so blind
We of body and mind
To rely on the afterlife?”
So much to lose yet such little time
Don’t give in to your sorrows
Ask yourself – Do I listen to my heart?
And live like there’s no tomorrow
Live for today before it slips away
Your time is here and now, not in the afterlife
The afterlife
Though just beginning it’s so soon to end
Will we ever meet again?
Live for today before it slips away
The time is here and now
Won’t you tell me what is to be
The time is here and now, not in the afterlife
In the afterlife (Don’t count on destiny)
Afterlife (In the end you will see)
In the afterlife
Dark clouds form overhead
From all the promises never kept
It’s all a means to an end - For you and me
Savor each moment before they’ve gone astray
They can pass you by in the blink of an eye
You will regret not living out your dreams
Reflecting in the tears you cry.
Live for today before it slips away
Your time is here and now
The final mystery – tell me what is to be
No need to pray, there’s a bettter way
Live like we’re already in the afterlife
This truth could set us free
The time is here and now, not in the afterlife
Here we are waiting for the fates to open up the sky
Weigh my heart; tell me will my soul remain where I
lie?
Afterlife (Don’t count on Destiny)

Which one do I try which one do I try?
I’d like to believe that i’ll never die
But I can’t comply, no I can’t comply
All the self appointed representatives of their own
imaginings in the sky.
They want to usher in the messianic age.
They don’t mind if it’s brought on by nuclear rage
They are so sure of their ability to outlive the
utility of their bodies
But just remember that was the last thought in the
brain of every suicide bomber
in every hijacked plane

I’d like to believe that i’ll never die
But I cant comply, no I can’t comply
Thousands and thousands are humming that the second
comings coming
And environmental responsibility is succumbing
To the suicidal longing for paradise
Can’t we see it’s already before our eyes?!
All that makes us who we are we find, cannot survive
without a mind
But you’re so afraid to die you’re willing to sacrifice
Living through it all with the knowledge that you have
only ONE LIFE

I’d like to believe that i’ll never die
But I cant comply, no I can’t comply
From the day that you are born, you are going to die
It’s not a pleasant thought at all but way that I deal
with it
Is to treasure each moment with my surroundings and
those I love
I spend my days, trying to engage with the world,
To learn as much about everything as I can
Using the body of knowledge which is our shared
heritage to further understand
The historical and evolutionary context of man.
To hold revelation in a higher place is to spit in the
face of those who chose to dedicate their lives to
enrich our own
Follow the guidebook for an afterlife
Which one do I try which one do I try?
I’d like to believe that i’ll never die
I remember the look on your face
And all the memories of you
A loving girl with no fear in her eyes
A riotous decision to choose
A careless man with no reason inside
He took the life out of you
A bitter end to a brief stay in life
I wish there was some way to choose
Why can't we choose?
We aren't here to stay
We're all the say way
See us fall away
I'll see you in the next life
25 with no reason to die
I know you should be right here
He paid the fine but never did any time
Why is this life so unfair?
We aren't here to stay
We're all the say way
See us fall away
Wake me up in front
Of an angels eyes
I'm now so far away
Please decide to guide
Me to my surprise
I'll hold on
I'll stand by
Take me to a planet
So far outside
Then I won't crack
I won't hide
I will not hide
Mindtrap, unfolding
Inside the places
I've never seen
I'm now, I try to find
Reasons for me to stay so
Tell me how I will know
If this is afterlife
Break me, to take me
To make me realize
Striking lightnings in the sky
Now it's my turn to seek
And find what you hide
I'd like to go
Striking lightnings in the sky
Now it's my turn to seek
And find what you hide
I'd like to go there
Know me when I reach you with no disguise
Now that I've come so far
Touch me just to know that I'm by your side
Then I'll stay, then I won't die
Mindtrap, unfolding
Inside the places
I've never seen
I'm now, I try to find
Reasons for me to stay so
Tell me how I will know
If this is afterlife
Break me, to take me
To make me realize
Striking lightnings in the sky
Now it's my turn to seek
And find what you hide
I'd like to go
Striking lightnings in the sky
Now it's my turn to seek
And find what you hide
I'd like to go there
We try but I can go
Without your guidance
Feels like you're flying
But you're outside inside
How can I find you
When this place is so distant
How do I find you
When you're so far away
Tell me how I will know
If this is afterlife
Break me, to take me
To make me realize
Striking lightnings in the sky
Now it's my turn to seek
And find what you hide
I'd like to go
Striking lightnings in the sky
Now it's my turn to seek
And find what you hide
No more blame,
if everyday promises died again.
No more prays,
if everyday our game's the same.
I need your warm
close to me
I wanna dream tonight as well
Should we have chosen, once again, another final?
You need my hand,
close to you.
You wanna listen my silence again.
Should we have chosen our losing dreams or another fantasy?
Oh oh ooooh ooooh oh oh
Waiting the time of our end
Don't miss my words,
if daylight is getting close.
Don't take my love,
if everyday you must go
I need your warm
close to me
I wanna dream tonight as well
Should we have chosen, once again, another final?
You need my hand,
close to you.
You wanna listen my silence again.
Should we have chosen our losing dreams or another fantasy?
Oh oh ooooh ooooh oh oh
Waiting the time of our end
Don't miss the voice
We will be close
Don't be ashamed
or we will be lost
I can't believe what I've heard
My passion has taken the final step
Over and over, I want to do the same
Join her in the next dimension
Peace, Sleep, Loneliness
I'm drowning in pain
in her eyes I saw ”come to me”
Temptation containing the afterlife
The bitter truth is my only salvation
I leave my life behind me now
Escaping the truth of
being left behind
Farewell, goodbye, I'm dying tonight
Your lovely smile
will be my last sight
Peace, Sleep, Loneliness
I'm drowning in pain
in her eyes I saw ”come to me”
Temptation containing
the afterlife
The bitter truth
is my only salvation
Follow
Your smile into the unknown
I'm screaming
Can't you hear my voice
Peace, Sleep, Loneliness
I'm drowning in pain
in her eyes I saw ”come to me”
Temptation containing
the afterlife
The bitter truth
is my only salvation
Follow
Your smile into the unknown
I'm screaming
Let it rain 2x
Let the water come down
And wash away the blood
So many lives
I have never understood
What is it about
The way that people are
Always want to take it just a little bit too far
And now you're on your own
Got nothing left to lose
Does anybody out there
Know the truth
Now open
Far and wide
This is our only time
We are waiting for afterlife
Let it rain 2x
Let the water come down
And wash away the blood
All of my live
I've been waiting for god
What is it about
The way that people die
Why is it so hard to say goodbye
Now open
Far and wide
This is our only time
We are waiting for afterlife
We are waiting for afterlife
And if I don't believe 3x
No I don't believe 4x
In you
Now open
Far and wide
This is our only time
Time has come to give my life up to those hands
Those hands that I've been praying to
Step inside your mind and in time you will find
We live, we die, we fade into the afterlife
Welcome to the sand, sea, land
I won't soon feel bad
When will you work it out
Why can't you see for clouds
Sail on times we had
It's something that I've never been more scared of
In my whole life, whole life, whole life
I'm just a man who is dying
Time has come to give my life up to those hands
Those hands that I've been praying to
Step inside your mind and in time you will find
We live, we die, we fade into the afterlife
Welcome to the end of all time
It's like a light
It's like a way I feel now
It's something that I've never been more scared of
In my whole life, whole life, whole life
I'm just a man who is dying
Time has come to give my life up to those hands
Those hands that I've been praying to
Step inside your mind and in time you will find
We live, we die, we fade into the afterlife
The light goes down but it's much harder now
To bring my face up from the ground
To smile again
Time has come to give my life up to those hands
Those hands that I've been praying to
Step inside your mind and in time you will find
We live, we die, we fade into the afterlife
