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
