                             A Walk through your Mind
                               (The Last Judgment)


                 Dimensions are surrounding, watching breathing
                 Places are here. Invisible quiet clearness
                 Eyes are upon you, ears floating in air
                 Real death is here with gentle nearness

                 The eye in your head is leaving soon     
                 Make sure he's well supplied
                 Pack his bags and pay hi ticket
                 Because at the gate you'll be denied

                 Discard machines, shed them off
                 Become yourself free and good
                 Celestial figures in the air
                 Doors open, judges watching as they should

                 Conductors calling for their fares
                 Many want to go
                 A few selected, others weeping
                 Only time is left to know

                 Of good and evil, people will speak
                  Listen to what they say
                  But remember well how to tell
                 The name of the door to pay

                 Now the time has come for you to choose
                 One to win, one to lose
                 But when you know the way to go
                 You'll be set and one to know

                 You see the truth; dimensions clearing
                 Now you see the reason why
                 But can you say you were really right
                 Remember, now it's worse to lie

                 Life can be death and death is life
                 For you to know this, will end the strife
                 You can stand on your head
                 Or sit on your feet
                 But take a walk through your mind
                 Before deciding to speak
