We seek heaven, or play like a rebel in hell
We’d better all hustle before that bell
Empty vessels, looking into the abyss
How did you know to light the spliff

We are as unique as our outer shell
Going anywhere, I know in my bone cells
What you believe is what you get
Unless you’ve underestimated your unmet

For the spirit within us is subject to the wind
And if you believe it, we’re all next of kin
Heaven and hell can’t be that different, you know
Because one’s not above and the other’s not below

Above live the birds, Below us worms
God’s given them space to live on their terms
Heaven and hell will be be side by side
So us people can meet to discuss why we cried
  
The afterlife may bring strife, decide to be prepared
It may also bring joy to see ones we loved who also asked where’d
We can’t know our formation or location after our fall like a domino
Though after death we might be together, so now let’s say hello
