There's no afterlife for us
But there is a future for others

Their future is what matters
And we become their mothers

Or maybe it's their fathers
Or maybe it is both

The Dead will have no gender
But they do haunt, by my troth

To be an ancestor
An ancestor, not a ghost

O you children of the future!
It is you we now do toast:

                      Salud!
