The Last Enemy

Eternity is in our heart

We can't see or choose an end

The last enemy will find us all

Force us to break and bend

To keep living on is all we ask

Through the smooth

And through the rough

However long we've already had

A hundred years is not enough

Just like the flame of a candle

When it goes out

Like when we reach the end

Of a song

Where does that flame go

When it has been put out

It doesn't go

it doesn't travel anywhere

It's just gone

And not one part of us survives

The destruction of the brain

There's no planning, wisdom

Or reward

From deep down in the grave

Our thoughts our feelings

Memories perish with the flesh

Our love and all our hate has gone

As we lay asleep in death

Just like the flame of a candle

When it goes out

Like when we reach the end

Of a song

Where does that flame go when it has been put out

It doesn't go

It doesn't transcend anywhere

Cause there's no

Immortality of the soul

Of the soul

Yeah there's no immortality

Of the soul

Of the soul

And Lazarus had been there

And he also came back

But he had no tales

Of what he'd seen

Or of where he was at

So for most there is no heaven

And there's no torment in hell

But the earth it has

Been made for us

And it has been made well

So like a flame of a candle

That won't go out

Yeah we can sing a song that

Never ends

Where will we go

Now death has been

Swallowed up

We'll we can go

Yeah we can travel anywhere

That we want
