When in the world of the dead

Eyes flicker

Lips quiver,

It’s all dark

Wake up in the afterlife,

All you see is a spark

You’re in a place

Of endless night,

And you have to find the light

Ignoring all distractions,

To your left and to your right

Seductive temptations

Beckon you to join them,

Lustful, painful, sinful pleasures

Offering you a better end,

But don’t succumb to that temptation

Keep on walking

Looking for the path,

That will take you to Nirvana

And a righteousness that’ll last,

For if you give in you’ll dwell in a place

Of endless desires causing misery,

And you’ll suffer in agony

For the whole of all eternity,

This part of the afterlife is a test

To see how worthy you will be,

Of discovering Nirvana’s paradise

And gaining it’s forever sanctuary.
