There is no afterlife Only this There is no afterlife Only this I have gazed upon these skies for a lifetime or more The fiercest stars, collapsed on heaven's floor Airless and silent, the pathway from hell, destination endlessly far Still, attempt to traverse through the black and frozen time Behold the portal to the light A tale of hope for those to die With sings so cold and muscles tense, I could not make the journey's end With no blood left in my veins to bleed, and no tears left to shed Never had I felt so alone Taste this bitter darkness This universe of emptiness that lies within us That we lie within, and reside in awe and wonder Stretching through matter and time unending A beautiful mystery eternally unsolved Become the dreamless, reach the void and see Into the emptiness that birthed and denied me Forsaken, we shall accept this as our truth Dreaming in the language, but longing for our youth Evasive is the ecstasy of sleep I reach for that horizon, forever just out of reach To cross the threshold into darkness There is no afterlife Only this There is no afterlife Only this There is no afterlife Only this There is no afterlife Only this
