Lord god almighty let me tell the news
My head got wet in midnight dew
Great god i been down on my bended knees
Talking to a man from galilee
Michael spoke and he sound so sweet
I thought i heard the shuffle of angels' feet
He put one hand upon my head
Great god almighty let me tell you what he said

Go tell that lonesome liar
Go tell that midnight rider
Tell the gamblin' ramblin' backslider
Tell them god almighty gonna cut 'em down

You might run on for a long time
Run on ducking and dodging
Run on children (?) for a long time
Let me tell you god almighty gonna cut you down

You might throw your rock hide your head
Work in the dark with your fellow men
Sure as god made you rich and poor
You're gonna reap just what you sow

You might run on for a long time
Run on ducking and dodging
Run on children (?) for a long time
Let me tell you god almighty gonna cut you down

You might run on for a long time
Run on ducking and dodging
Run on children (?) for a long time
Let me tell you god almighty gonna cut you down

You might run on for a long time
Run on ducking and dodging
Run on children (?) for a long time
Let me tell you god almighty gonna cut you down

(you might run
What is the real thing ?
Run
What is the real thing ?
Come on)
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
Tell them god almighty gonna cut 'em down

You might run on for a long time
Run on ducking and dodging
Run on children (?) for a long time
Let me tell you god almighty gonna cut you down

You might run on for a long time
Run on ducking and dodging
Run on children (?) for a long time
Let me tell you god almighty gonna cut you down

You might run on for a long time
Run on ducking and dodging
Run on children (?) for a long time
Let me tell you god almighty gonna cut you down

You might run on for a long time
Run on ducking and dodging
Run on children (?) for a long time
Let me tell you god almighty gonna cut you down

You might run on for a long time
Run on ducking and dodging
Run on children (?) for a long time
Let me tell you god almighty gonna cut you down

You might run on for a long time
Run on ducking and dodging
Run on children (?) for a long time
Let me tell you god almighty gonna cut you down

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, imprisoned in this land

All is silent
Held within
Existing forever
New life begins
Eternal desolation
Your soul to give

Enslaved for all existence - Perpetual endless torment
Reality is now dormant - Within the afterlife

Afterlife

Afterlife. Oh my God, what an awful word
After all the breath and the dirt and the fires are burnt.
And after all this time, and after all the ambulances go
And after all the hangers-on are done hanging on in the dead lights
Of the afterglowI’ve gotta know… Can we work it out?
If we scream and shout ’till we work it out
Can we just work it out?
Scream and shout ’till we work it out
’till we work it out, ’till we work it out
’till we work it out, ’till we work it out

Afterlife. I think I saw what happens next
Oh, it was just a glimpse of you, like looking through a window
Or a shallow sea
Could you see me?
And after all this time
It’s like nothing else we used to know
And after all the hangers-on are done hanging on in the dead lights
Of the afterglow

I’ve gotta know…

Can we work it out?
If we scream and shout ’till we work it out
Can we just work it out?
Scream and shout ’till we work it out?

But you say “Oh, when love is gone
Where does it go?”
And you say
“Oh, when love is gone
Where does it go?”
And where do we go?
Where do we go?
Where do we go?
Where do we go?
Where do we go?
Where do we go?
Where do we go?
Where do we go?

And after this
Can it last another night?
After all the bad advice
That had nothing at all to do with life

I’ve gotta know

Can we work it out?
If we scream and shout ’till we work it out
Can we just work it out?
Scream and shout ’till we work it out?

But you say
“Oh, when love is gone
Where does it go?”
And you say
“Oh, when love is gone
Where does it go?”
We know it’s gone
But where did it go?
And where do we go?

Is this the afterlife?
It’s just an afterlife with you.
It’s just an afterlife.
It’s just an afterlife.
It’s just an afterlife with you.
It’s just an afterlife.
It’s just an 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
In the afterlife - in the afterlife

like walking into a dream
so unlike what you've seen
so unsure but it seemes
cause' we've been waiting for you
falling 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 to early

and when i think of all the places i just don't belong
iv'e come to grips with life and realized this is going to far

I don't belong here we've gotta move on, dear
escape from this afterlife 'cause this time i'm right to move on and on far away from here

Place of hope with no pain
perfect skies with no rain
can leave this place but refrain
cause we've been waiting for you
falling into this place
just giving you a small taste
of your afterlife here so stay
you'll be back here soon anyway

This place on earth's not right
(with my back against the wall)
no pain or sign of time
(i'm much to young to fall)
so out of place don't wanna stay
i feel wrong and that's my sign
i made up my mind

gave 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
we gotta move on dear
escape from this afterlife
cause this time im right to move on and on
far away from here
got nothing against you and surely i'll miss you
this place is full of peace and light
and i hoped 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 listning
give me a chance to be that person i wanna be
( i'm broken, im choking on this ecstasy
oh Lord i'll try so hard but you've got to let go of me
(unbreak me , unchain me , i need another chance to live!)

i don't belong here
we gotta move on dear
escape from this afterlife
cause this time im right to move on and on
far away from here
got nothing against you and surely i'll miss you
this place is full of peace and light
and i hoped you might take me back inside
when the time is right

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 it's hidden conclusions
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?
In the Afterlife

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
Reach into my soul, we'll meet again in the afterlife

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
‘Cos there's so much left for both of us to say

somewhere over the rainbow, that's where I'm gonna go...

what I've seen, you may find hard to believe
it left me feeling like, no one ever made me
now I want something, unsurpassed in its pleasures
cause 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
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
cause 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
in this body of mine...

I'm uncomfortable in regular clothes
I want something I can depend on
and watch it grow, I'll watch it grow

enlighten me, I never want to be here again
set me free, I never want to feel fear again
please pardon me, I never meant to hurt anyone
and 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 someday I'll be that
I want it but I'll never ever feel it not in this body of mine
this body of mine...

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
I’ll see you in the next life
