about

here·af·ter - life after death

Jim Morrison once said "There are things known and there are things unknown, and in between are the doors of perception".


What if death isnt the end, what if instead of "Life after death" there is "Life After This Life"? What if this life we are experiencing right now in this very moment is just one part of our experiences of living, that after this life there is another? What if life is eternal and we move to the next stage after this life ends? I have come to believe this and wanted to put it as part of the story of The Wanderer.

This track is to detail the "plain of Exsistance" that is the universal hive. The place where life is eternal and connects all life in the universe. As The Wanderer goes through the portal and reaches the other side. what would be revealed to him by choosing to travel too the other side to the home of The Cosmic Winds? To make the journey through the portal would he experience? What challanges and doors of perception would lay waiting for him to open? What new perceptions would be revealed to him? What
Gifts of knowledge and spiritual awaking would be bestowed upon him to come through the other side un-compromised from the burdens and pain he has received of a life of war, loss, pain, regret, guilt, hate, anger and remorse that have worn on him physically, mentally and emotionally. For one to accept the gift of being chosen to thrive in the universal hive from this plain of Exsistance one must first be "reborn" and cleansed of any attachments that darkness has brought these things into his life and fractured his soul and must be made whole again to accept the gift that will be bestowed upon them of being one with the universal hive where the light that is Samsara was birthed that is the place he will be given the sacred gift to achieve true Evolutionary transendance.

Inside the portal and the path that opens before The Wanderer is known as "The Hereafter". The place where ones spirit goes to begin the next stage of life.

But one cannot make this journey alone and those who choose to go through to the Hereafter must be guided along the path. The Entity that invited The Wanderer to come through the portal to join The Comsic Winds in the Universal Hive would help usher him along the path in the portal through the trials that would lay before him. It would be his lighthouse to keep him on the path to the Hereafter. This track is too provide what the trails are and the guidance provided to The Wanderer from the Entity.

lyrics

(Lyrics)

You can hear a single breath
With every beat of a heart,
That cries out too the cosmic sea

You don't need faith
Just courage in yourself
To see you hold the light that will guide you,
To the Hereafter

In the darkness is a flickering light
Of a candle that still burns bright
Of an ember ignited with the hopes of a brighter day
Feeling its heat against the skin, feeling alive again
Forgetting all boundaries of the flesh
Unlocking the secrets of spirit and mind intertwined

Here you could fall almost forever
Where ones soul could be at peace
In a place where tear drops are like fire
Giving birth to a new ember no wind or rain can retire

If you find yourself alone and a mess
Feeling lost in distress, succumbing to the dark

(Chorus)
Look for the candlelight for I am there
Your light house in the dark
Just trust in me too guide you there
Through the Hereafter

(Solo)

Come on!

(Chorus)
Look for the candlelight for I am there
Your light house in the dark
Just trust in me too guide you there
Through the Hereafter

If you find yourself alone and a mess
Feeling lost in distress
Just remember I am always there
Your light house in the dark
