Is There Life Beyond Death
IS THERE LIFE BEYOND DEATH . . .
Just what is all of this, if you follow God, you will have eternal life
What makes you think I want to return to all this trouble & strife
And those who heed not will be once you are gone, you are gone
Those of you who think I want to be reborn have got it so wrong
Life will never change; it is all the same, in its trouble and its wars
We already have the answers but; does anyone change the score
You think I’m returning for me to take another round of this shish
Hear you say stick with it as in the end, it will be worth all the bliss
If life; was so bloody perfect, I would be more than, flipping bored
With all just standing around with no end to this life’s mortal cord
If you lived forever; there will come a time, you've walked all paths
Watched all the bloodshed, and happiness you know it never lasts
I am quite happy to leave me; and, leave with all my bridges burnt
Not one of us deserves to live; not from the lessons, I have learnt
I'm sorry but I never came into this world, just so I had to survive
While all those in power make life hard; then watch you then strive
This is not living; it is not a true democracy whoever, told you that
Those collecting all your coffers, whilst then feeding you all on crap
Did those forty years in the wilderness; really do Moses, any good
Died before he had a chance to live it, but; then he knew he would
God in his power is just living off our weaknesses don't you all see
It is not plain narcissism; that he wants you all, down on one knee
Whilst those who just break their backs, for them, there is no gain
This is just a psychotic God; as he continues, to feed off your pain
On a promise of enlightenment; well' I have got that for ruddy sure
Why on this earth would I want to return, I already know the score
There is life beyond death - just without your God
