Heaven and Hell
What comes next
After the final darkness falls
Does it stay dark forever
Is that the Hell for us all
A never-ending nightfall
A slumber to forever sleep
A lonely ship that sails to nowhere
And has a soul to keep
Do we cross a bridge to nothing
Over a river deep and wide
Of tears that fall through darkness
About choices left behind
May Angels embrace us sweetly
And bring us to the light
Terrifying and loving in equal measure
As we see both our wrongs and our rights
Before we find our Eden
Is the jury made of one
Or at the end, do we join our Creator
And judge together all that we have done
