The Great Beyond

Suddenly, the ground gives way

The spirit moves down the hall

Fate reveals the dark remains

Of faith in it's last resolve

Left behind those who wait

For answers that will not come

Out of time, out of place

Into the great, the great beyond

In denial, the seed and son

The one who will pay the most

Will revile the one he loves

Too bitter to let this go

Faith in time will decay

This tragedy will live on

Love inside slips away

Into the great, the great beyond

Now all we've seen or thought to be was just a dream

All we've seen or thought to be is gone

All we've seen or thought to be was just a dream

The sky rips open taking all we've ever known away

And the funeral songs

Welcome the early dawn

One more ghost slips away

Into the great beyond

As the pyre burns on

The pale rider won't be long

To push open the gates into the great beyond

The great beyond
