Song Description

Why not an infinite succession of afterlives? Or the opposite: beginnings before the beginning? An infinite, fractal universe.

Lyrics

AFTER THE AFTERLIFE

I'm so tired
I was up all night again
Closed my eyes
But I could not disconnect my brain
And I worry about the world
And about the universe
And I think of the place where the first is last
And the last is first

And I wonder what comes next after the afterlife?
Could there be an afterlife after the afterlife?
Will we be supersonic angels with better halos, better wings?
Will we have better things after the afterlife?
Even better things after the afterlife?

And where was God
Before everything started spinning?
Before it all began
Was there a previous beginning?
Could the universe be ending
Or is it really only bending?
If everything keeps expanding
And extending and transcending

Tell me what comes next after the afterlife?
Is there an afterlife after the afterlife?
If we live after we live, then do we die after we die?
Does the answer lie after the afterlife?
Does the answer lie after the afterlife?

So here we are in the afterbirth of the universe
And here on earth things get better, things get worse
Must be something more we can all look forward to
But why not look beyond that and beyond that...

Everybody praise the lord, God of the afterlife
But will there be an AfterGod after the afterlife?
And would an infinite repeating life give earthly life new meaning?
After this disaster life (after this disaster life)
Will there be an after (after this disaster) and another after
Happy ever afterlife?
