[Verse 1]
What happens to us when we die
Do we rot in the ground while our loved ones cry?
Dissipate into a ray of light?
Explode into stardust up in the sky?
Are we food for the worms or dust for the earth?
Are we more complicated than we were at birth?
What happens to our memories?
Are they kept by our friends or our enemies?

[Chorus]
When we die
When we die
Are we the kings or are we fools?
Lift 'em up
When we die, are we gone forever?
What happens to us?

[Verse 2]
What happens to us when we die?
Do we leave in a breath or a battle cry?
When we're gone, do we leave our family behind?
Do we live on in their memories?
In the good times only like a reverie?
Do they think of us as heavily?
Do we live on in their mindless sleep?
[Chorus]
When we die
When we die
When we die are, we gone forever?
What happens to us when we die?

[Bridge]
When we die, is it really the end?
Is it more than we can comprehend?
Are we absolved, are we forgiven?
Do we just die, or are we risen?
Do we lay down, or do we transcend?
Are we lost, are we forgotten?
Do we blossom, or are we just rotten?
Are we absolved, are we forgiven?
Do we just die, or are we risen?

[Chorus]
When we die
Are we the lambs or are we the wolves?
When we die
Are we the kings or are we fools?
When we die
