In the distance I hear chanting A song Warning me Calling out the inevitable truths that await Death A sea of souls surround my raft Begging me to join them As I drift upon wave after wave of those spirits And toss and turn over tombstones I am trapped in a purgatory awaiting rescue Should I sink or swim? Swim to a church pew Live and die by the cross Listen as he screams once more Salvation and saliva flying from his lips Although I don't know which is more revolting Or should I sink Sink into the abyss in which I believe IS the afterlife The cold darkness The nothingness cradled in the heart of an atheist Sometimes I wonder Is a soul worth holding on to? Because it's so much easier to tread water without it weighing me down

Sink or Swim
In the distance I hear chanting A song Warning me Calling out the inevitable truths that await Death A sea of souls surround my raft Begging me to join them As I drift upon wave after wave of those spirits And toss and turn over tombstones I am trapped in a purgatory awaiting rescue Should I sink or swim? Swim to a church pew Live and die by the cross Listen as he screams once more Salvation and saliva flying from his lips Although I don't know which is more revolting Or should I sink Sink into the abyss in which I believe IS the afterlife The cold darkness The nothingness cradled in the heart of an atheist Sometimes I wonder Is a soul worth holding on to? Because it's so much easier to tread water without it weighing me down
