Death is the end of all things
Death is the end of pain and blame and shame,
of sun, of rain, of work, of play
Death is the end of night and day
It brings each one of us, the same,
to the end of everything.

I say Death is the end of all things
So we need to know that's where we go
Whether we want to, yea or no,
It is what existence always shows
No matter what else life may bring,
Death brings us the end of everything.

Believe what you want to believe.
Achieve what you want to achieve.
Yet "You don't take it with you when you go"
Is only half of what you should know
Because you'll also leave yourself behind
At the end of your time.

Yes, Death is the end of all things
But for what it is worth
Realising there's no peace in Heaven
Might help us find peace on Earth.
