Afterlife

In one hundred years, I'll be gone What now remains is this song Will anyone know of my name The life, the years and all the pain If nothing else awaits us there All that we have is forever here In words or rhyme images of time What the future holds for all mankind This is my afterlife I hope understand My soul, this song is in your hands Long after we are dust, surviving though decay What happens now it matters not The pain endured, victories sought The story told, the life remains Deciding our eternal fate This is my afterlife I hope understand My soul, this song is in your hands Long after we are dust, surviving though decay
