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
