Afterlife Refrain

My head is placed on the chopping block my life erased before the shepard's flock I stand behind nothing and there is nothing ahead I stand here deciding if it was worth the life I led And memories are nothing but windows lives and lullabies nothing but keys on pianos Fade away all fade away so fast when you're standing here facing back on the past Before the garden outside the gate only thing accompanying me is that fickle thing, Fate slapping a skeletal hand on my back he says to me, "Y'know I can't cut ya any slack" Not that I expected any my road was long and mistakes were many consequences can't be lied to or ignored Death is waving to me and calling out All Aboard Every ticket lost to this Grim Reaper looking back I had a love and I guess I shoulda kept her but too late now, my seat is there to be filled it takes more than a prayer to save those that're weak willed
