last night i died and went to heaven;
there were no gates of grace;
no streets of gold; no great white throne;
no judgment there to face.

no mansions that were promised;
i was all alone...
there was no feast,
no wedding, no groom;
no bridal chamber waiting;
no marriage nor honeymoon.
there were no lights shining bright,
no glory; no joy; no love;
no spirit whisking me away to eternal bliss;

what breaks through to the other side?
where is heaven? where is hell?
why and where does god hide?
no gold at the end of the rainbow;
no slippers to click me home;
no heaven, no hell, just nothingness;
no more me to roam...
wrapping my mind round Maya...
the sounds of a sweet lullaby;
go back to sleep, it is just a dream,
a dream that can never die...
what must die? what can live?
free of heaven and hell?
the answer is nothing...nothing at all;
has locked you in it's cell...
