Afterlife

When my old man said to me:

"You're growing fast, boy. There's so much to see

You take a wife, newborn, a family."

He said:

"You'll see when comes a time to be a man, to do what's right. You'll always find a way to make your way through life."

When my old man said to me:

"Treat mankind with dignity. Start with no one, finding someone that you need."

Wonder where we go

Is there really an afterlife?

Never growing old

Going home will free his spirit

When my old man said to me:

"The world moves fast, boy, with no guarantees. Trust in no one 'til you find someone you believe."

Then my father passed away

From this world on to a grave

Mother Earth, sands of time

A better place, the afterlife

Wonder where we go

Is there really an afterlife?

Never growing old

Going home will free his spirit

Never ending love

Is there hope in the afterlife?

Reach into my soul

I'll see my dad in the afterlife

When my old man was alive

He always would teach

When my old man was alive

He always believed in me

[Guitar Solo - Alex Skolnick]

He helped shape his son

The man that I've become

[Guitar Solo - Eric Peterson]

Then my old man said to me:

"Embrace the past. Listen son, carry on our legacy."

Then my father passed away

From this world on to a grave

Mother Earth, sands of time

A better place, the afterlife

Wonder where we go

Is there really an afterlife?

Never growing old

Going home will free his spirit

Never ending love

Is there hope in the afterlife?

Reach into my soul

We'll meet again in the afterlife
