The Way the Story Goes

Nobody lives forever So the story goes All must walk that lonely path To Jordan's shadowed shore No one knows for certain What lies on the other side All must find the final truth When they pass through death's dark door Some will say when darkness falls There comes eternal sleep Others say a door is opened Where all is light and peace I know which thought that I'd prefer And I know what I believe But no one knows for certain No one can really see No one lives forever All will walk that road All will find their final truth That's how the story's told
