  CBrother do you believe in an Amafterlife

We'll open Emall the gates
We will walk Fcareless, straight into the Clight

  CI've never felt so eAmnlightened
Every pEmage I turn
I only fFind myself feeling more Calone
Posing questions to a silent Amuniverse
My very Emthoughts are cursed
They just seem to Fmultiply, forever in my mind

Oh and Dmyou have nowhere left to Frun
Oh but your Ceyes are wider than Ammine, and help me to sleGepG  
Just hope that Cage does not Amerase all that you've GseenG  
  CDon't Amlet bitterness become GyouG  
  CYour only Amhopes are within GyouG
