Hereafter

Found you lying cold as the night In one second you disappeared into the light Did you know what was at stake Here I sit greeting family at your wake I forgive what you did of course I do Things are material my life was you On my knees praying and pleading Please God stop my soul from bleeding I can still hear your cries I tried to take away your pain with laughter I know everyone eventually dies But you went unnaturally to the hereafter Your shadow fades The sun is black Gone are the parades There’s no coming back I am lost between my soul and heart Death is only the beginning it can’t keep us apart I wish I could reverse the sands of time To bring you back so once again you could be mine I can still hear your cries I tried to take away your pain with laughter I know everyone eventually dies But you went unnaturally to the hereafter Mourners come by to drop a rose They do not know the ending you chose Single file one by one They don’t know you had come undone You had succomed to all your pain and fears I scream out loud but my eyes have no more tears I can still hear your cries I tried to take away your pain with laughter I know everyone eventually dies But you went unnaturally to the hereafter I throw some dirt on your coffin lid I’m not a supporter of the deed you did To cure the silence I’d give all my wealth But I realize now I’m by myself Our moment was over before it started Now you walk with the faithfully departed I can still hear your cries I tried to take away your pain with laughter I know everyone eventually dies But you went unnaturally to the hereafter Thinking of you daily is part of my routine I can’t wait to sleep so I can see you in a dream Your spirit still keeps me in a spell The memories forever in my mind will dwell Until the day we meet by some twist of fate Joined together again at Heavens gate
