Suddenly, the ground gives way

The spirit moves down the hall

Fate reveals the dark remains

Of faith in its 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.
