Asking the big questions...

lyrics

Late one night, it came in my dreams
A premonition of my very last scene
The very last moments, the end of my life
The culmination of my struggles and strife
A body in the final stage of siege
With death at the gates and no sign of relief

I was floating away, floating away
Floating, floating, floating away

When the morphine takes hold, reality fades
As the nurse smoothes my path on the way to my grave
Everything’s easy, it’s all a breeze
My mind is tranquil, my body’s at ease

I’m floating away, floating away
Completely calm as I shuffle away
I’m floating away, floating away
Floating, floating, floating away

It’ll test my faith, or lack thereof
I’ll see how beliefs hold when push comes to shove
Will I be shocked, surprised or dismayed
When I enter that light shining my way?

As I’m floating away, floating away
Will I be shocked, surprised or dismayed?
As I’m floating away, floating away
Floating, floating, floating away

Will there be angels floating down from above?
Or a gaggle of harpies while a demon beats a drum?
Will I see Krishna, Buddha or Christ?
Or see my way barred to the afterlife?
Will the end simply be a big dark hole
Where they bury my body and forget about my soul?

Floating away, floating away
Floating, floating, floating away
Yeah I’m floating away etc.
