Elysium

Brother, do you believe in an afterlife?

Where our souls will both collide

In some great Elysium

Way up in the sky

Free from our shackles, our chains

Our mouths, our brains

We'll open all the gates

We will walk careless

Straight into the light

I've never felt so enlightened

Every page I turn

I only find myself feelin' more alone

Posin' questions to a silent universe l

My very thoughts a curse

They just seem to multiply

Forever in my mind

Brother, don't grow up

Brother, please never grow up

Just hold out against the night

Guard your hope with your life

For the darkness, she will come

Oh, and you'll have nowhere left to run

Oh, but your eyes are wider than mine

And help me to sleep

Just hope that age does not erase

All that you see

Don't let bitterness become you

Your only hopes are all within you

Just hold out against the night

And guard your hope with your life
