And as you reach
the final gate
you lay your body down
You pray a little
hope and wait
you fight for air
you drown
Unveiling promises
of saints
and fairy tales
to fill your sails
Beneath your casket
darkly she
will sigh and then embrace
the life you lead
the pain you flee
your beauty and your grace
as vying voices
saintly rise
to harmonize
one last good bye
All is gone
you hear them tell
there is no heaven
no hell
There is no soul
there is no life
beyond the gate
you know so well
Astonishingly
Unarmed, uneyed
Unhearted and glad to see
the fairy tales lied
the fairy tales lied
Au naturelly
what we're about
that muscle and bone you'll be
well off without
well off without
Let go your heart
your lungs
your spleen
that's how to shed
this confounding confinement
unseen
Rememberingly
lost you revive
to somewhat surprised conceive
you're still alive
you're still alive
Then as you rise
through the air
undead and open
to know everywhere
Fortuitously
this much is true
no matter whoever you be
the answer is you
the answer is you
