The Book of Life

What will it say
at the end of time
when the music fades
and the world is left behind

what will it say
at the end of this rhyme
when it begins to rain
and all is on the line

was i good
does it matter
where i stood
ascending up the ladder

was i right
who am i to judge
while standing in His sight
will i melt to sludge

what will it say
what is my crime
when i see the stains
when i see the signs

what will it say
can i trust my mind
when i become the lame
and it's left to bind

was i free
what does it mean
what did i see
things aren't what they seem

did i fully trust
in what i knew
while i turned to dust
did i believe what was true

what will i say
at the end of time
when the music fades
and all is left behinf
