after all the living and the dead
have settled their differences
and said what they meant
after all the questions you had
have been proven superfluous
despite your despair
this misguided affair
will carry on
oh but you couldn't be more wrong
about the meaning of this song
after all the days and the nights
have been reduced down to metaphors
for the poets to write
after all the actors on stage
take off their masks
and the lights fade to black
we see the stories we tell ourselves
the people we tried to help
the lies that we all want to believe
the martyrs with promises of salvation
through selfless adoration
for your fellow man
do you get what I mean
when I say unto thee
I shall be what I shall be
after all the astronauts have sailed into the sea
and their primitive opinions are all falling false and free
there is nothing we can do now so we watch them on the hill
by the sacrificial altar where they worship what they kill
oh my name it is not anything my face is shared by all
you won't see me in the garden but you can find me in the fall
and I know
