The Lazarus Effect

Lazarus oh Lazarus tell me where did you go 
please excuse the pun but im dying to really know 

is there life after death or is it really R.I.P! 
is there cognitive awareness in that place we can not see?

is it just a construct of our consciousness an imaginary plain
is it abstract manifestations or is everything done in vain?

Lazarus oh Lazarus share with us your mind
because I thee unbielever is running out of time 

is there a secret passage on the other side of death? 
is there a reaper with a scythe sharpening it's crest

is there a heaven with pearly gates and an angel or st. peter? 
is there a book of life for the winners and if there is are there cheaters?

is there hell for the demons and chambers of red hot fire?
is there a place for punishment were sinners are retired?

is it life forever after, after life ends forever?
or is it death forever after, after lifes last endeavor?

Lazarus oh Lazarus
