I thought that when I "lost" her, it will be the end for me..
the end of everything in my life..
but Dream Theater wakes me from my deep slumber..
when I read the lyric of "The Spirit Carries On",
I realized that death is not the end..
and I smiled again..
damn! I was so fool...
and here is the lyric..
for those who read this note,
I hope that this note can be some encouragement for you...
especially when you can't face this world anymore...
[Nicholas:]
Where did we come from?
Why are we here?
Where do we go when we die?
What lies beyond
And what lay before?
Is anything certain in life?
They say, "Life is too short,"
"The here and the now"
And "You're only given one shot"
But could there be more,
Have I lived before,
Or could this be all that we've got?
If I die tomorrow
I'd be all right
Because I believe
That after we're gone
The spirit carries on
I used to be frightened of dying
I used to think death was the end
But that was before
I'm not scared anymore
I know that my soul will transcend
I may never find all the answers
I may never understand why
I may never prove
What I know to be true
But I know that I still have to try
If I die tomorrow
I'd be all right
Because I believe
That after we're gone
The spirit carries on
[Victoria:]
"Move on, be brave
Don't weep at my grave
Because I am no longer here
But please never let
Your memory of me disappear"
[Nicholas:]
Safe in the light that surrounds me
Free of the fear and the pain
My questioning mind
Has helped me to find
The meaning in my life again
Victoria's real
I finally feel
A peace with the girl in my dreams
And now that I'm here
It's perfectly clear
I found out what all of this means
If I die tomorrow
I'd be all right
Because I believe
That after we're gone
The spirit carries on
that was that....
I hope that it helps you remember that it's always all right to die whenever God wants us to...
and we have to forget about our "plaything" in this world..
just like what the sonnet in our mid-term exam taught us....
--Thank You--
