Brother, do you believe in an afterlife
Where our souls will both collide
In some great Elysium
Way up in the sky
Free from our shackles, our chains
Our mouths, our brains
We'll open all the gates
And we will walk careless
Straight into the light

INTERLUDE
(At this point, the second guitar comes in. It seems to be mirroring these chords, except
on capo'd on the 7th fret in order to play an octave higher. It does not seem to have
a readily identifiable pattern, it seems to just be free-styling with these chord shapes.)

REPEAT THE VERSE

I've never felt so enlightened
With every page I turn
I only find myself feeling more alone
Posing questions to a silent universe
My very thoughts a curse
They just seem to multiply
Forever in my mind
