Come the afterlife There's a place you'll see Where the souls of the dead Pass through To eternity But some poor lost souls Trapped in memories Can't find their way out No one hears their pleas There's no oblivion No all consuming void What you call a soul It cannot be destroyed All things endure All things persist Something in all of us That will always exist Something that fears Something that survives Something that suffers And yearns to be alive There's no oblivion No all consuming void What you call a soul It cannot be destroyed Walk on through the mist To the edge of the shadowlands Find the king of the dead In his mansion so grand In the land of the dead Where the king's power fades No one on Earth Can hear his voice No one believes And no one prays A living soul that enters here Must pay a price A lifetime running short Melts away like ice The dead are trapped here And never see the sky Move on to other worlds Don't stay here when you die But there is magic here The secrets of the realm unfurl A house of doorways Passage to a thousand worlds Welcome to the Deadside Welcome to the Deadside You've left the world behind In the land of the dead Where the king's power fades No one on Earth Can hear his voice No one believes, no one prays From the mist the master comes Breaking down The mansion walls A deal is struck, the king will rise And the Shadowman will fall
