How could we be so blind
We of body and mind
To rely on the afterlife
So much to lose
Yet such little time
Don't give in to your sorrows
Ask yourself
Do I listen to my heart
And live life as no tomorrow
Live for today
Before it slips away
Your time is here and now
Not in the afterlife
The afterlife
Though just beginning
It's so soon to end
Will we ever meet again?
Live for today
Before it slips away
Your time is here and now
Won't you tell me what is to be
The time is here and now
Not in the afterlife
In the afterlife
Don't count on destiny
Afterlife
In the end we will see
In the afterlife
Dark clouds form overhead
From all the promises never kept
It's all a means to an end
For you and me
Seize for each moment
Before they've gone astray
They can pass you by
In the blink of an eye
You will regret
Not living out your dreams
Reflecting in the tears you cry
Live for today
Before it slips away
Your time is here and now
The final mystery
Tell me what is to be
No need to pray
There's a better way
Live like we'll be reborn
In the afterlife
This truth can set us free
The time is here and now
Not in the afterlife
Here we are
Waiting for the faith
To open up the sky
In my heart
Tell me will my soul
Remain where I lie
Afterlife
Afterlife
Don't count on destiny
Afterlife
In the end we will see
Afterlife
