Song Description

I picture myself in front of a dark, ominous gateway. The gate opens and I'm running to "The Other Side". Eventually I stop running and find myself in front of a massive desk. There's a person behind that desk. It's someone I know; a friend, a relative, a brother........ and at that moment all my emotions erupt. Lost in this tempest, we embrace each other. We finally sit and start to converse. I begin first, divulging the details of my past life. My stories, my life- the highs and lows, flow from me until I am empty, unsure of myself. This person then begins his/her story. Much to my surprise, he/she gives me words of comfort and support. This person says that death is only a transition and another deviation of subsistence in the Universe. This tune concludes with a repetition of the first part. My counterpart and I walk towards the bright light and continue to do so "Ab Aeterno"- until the end of time.
