A Wake for the Sleeper Service

Verse 1

I was weary of worlds, I was tired of the stars,

Drifted to slumber in a ship full of scars.

Said, “Wake me for gods or the end of the line.”

Now here I am breathing in borrowed time.

Chorus

We’re all going to die, but not tonight,

There’s laughter in the void and fire in the light.

Raise your glass to the end, to the infinite sky—

We’re all going to live before we die.

Verse 2

The Mind said softly, “It’s like this, my friend—

The joke’s on entropy; it’s not the end.

God’s thrown a party, and you’re on the list,

So dance with the cosmos, taste the abyss.”

Chorus

We’re all going to die, but not tonight,

There’s laughter in the void and fire in the light.

Raise your glass to the end, to the infinite sky—

We’re all going to live before we die.

Bridge

The stars are a choir, the wormholes sing,

The galaxies spin like a wedding ring.

The void is alive, it’s a carnival ride,

And death is just waiting politely outside.

Chorus (repeat, soaring)

We’re all going to die, but not tonight,

There’s laughter in the void and fire in the light.

Raise your glass to the end, to the infinite sky—

We’re all going to live before we die.

Outro

So let the Sleeper wake, let the party start,

With a god who knows how to heal a heart.

I was tired of life, now I see the lie—

We’re all going to live before we die.
