They talk about absolution
But what you gonna do when the time has come?
When they put you in a box, say a prayer and run?
All wrapped up, your life is done

Is that really want?
You lived, you loved and all for what?
How would you feel if they forgot?
Their lives resuming while you rot

Heaven can wait if flesh must pay the price
The skin I live in will hold the land of the sky

The time has come to hold me like the pages
Of your books hold the stars above
Your universe sits in my hands
And now mine shall be yours my love

So if it's really time to leave
I choose to resist finality
To you my skin I do bequeath
And we'll transcend reality

Heaven can wait if flesh must pay the price
The skin I live in will hold the land of the sky

If you turn a blind eye, then you might as well forget
All the loves of life are as good as dead
If all mankind are destined to decay
What good is life when it ends that way?
