Afterlife
Follow the guidebook for an afterlife
Which one do I try, which one do I try?
I'd like to believe that i'll never die
But I can't comply, no I can't comply
All the self appointed representatives of their own
imaginings in the sky.
They want to usher in the messianic age.
They don't mind if it's brought on by nuclear rage
They are so sure of their ability to outlive the
utility of their bodies
But just remember that was the last thought in the brain
of every suicide bomber in every hijacked plane
Follow the guidebook for an afterlife
Which one do I try, which one do I try?
I'd like to believe that i'll never die
But I cant comply, no I can't comply
Thousands and thousands are humming that the second
comings coming
And environmental responsibility is succumbing
To the suicidal longing for paradise
Can't they see it's already before our eyes?!
All that makes us who we are we find, cannot survive
without a mind
But you're so afraid to die you're willing to sacrifice living through it all with the knowledge that you have
only ONE LIFE
Follow the guidebook for an afterlife
Which one do I try which one do I try?
I'd like to believe that i'll never die
But I cant comply, no I can't comply
From the day that you are born, you are going to die
It's not a pleasant thought at all but the way that I deal
with it
Is to treasure each moment with my surroundings and
those I love
I spend my days, trying to engage with the world,
To learn as much about everything as I can
Using the body of knowledge which is our shared
heritage to further understand
The historical and evolutionary context of man.
To hold revelation in a higher place is to spit in the
face of those who chose to dedicate their lives to
enrich our own

Which one do I try which one do I try?
I'd like to believe that i'll never die
But I cant comply, no I can't comply
Shalom alechem malache ha-sharet malache elyon,
