Death

death...
i wonder what it means
nobody has ever lived to tell about the story behind it
and nobody will do so

is there an afterlife?
is there heaven and hell?
will sinners really suffer?
will saints really enjoy?

its so tempting sometimes
to leave it all behind, to stop the pain
but theres no way back
its a one way street

some say, its the way to attain god
some say its the way to free yourself
but is it really true?
or is it just preaching?

some in the streets
some in the hospital
some in their own bed sleeping
whichever way, all walk through the same door to the deadland

we all know we are going to die one day
but yet we carry out our daily duties
cuz the only thing that keeps us going
is that we dont know when the time will come

i hope i go after i enjoyed life
we all hope so too
but while some are lucky
some are not

is it something to be afraid of?
or is it something to embrace with open arms?
time will tell
when the time comes for me
