Next Life

I know today I have no choice
but let you go away
In this life there is no place
for you and me to be what we are
All the gods conspire against us
and may have done so
for god knows how many lives

I promised not to hurt you
and promised not to hunt you
and you know I will try
to live up to my word

But let me promise one other thing:
in our next life
I won't let you go -
no god or demon,
no man on earth
will be able to keep me away
from you

We've walked a long road
and have gone far
and right now I'll just
keep on walking on my own
- from this life to the next

and there no god or demon
no man on earth
will be able to keep me away
from you
