Bull, Dan - After Life Lyrics
When you're old and run down, what happens when you die?
Not your soul but the dust and the ashes and the like
After that time you've passed on and they're scattered and they lie
Under the grass in a casket for time
Until the last of your atoms has gone back to the matter
At the instant you're officially a corpse
This list of sick things begins kicking in with force
The tempature of your body's inner core falls
And this event is called algor mortis
It's thought this happens cos your pulse has flattened
So it halts the passage of the warmth and that
But if you thought that that was a nauseous fact
Then I ought to inform you what also happens
The muscles in your ass pack up and relax
So that all of that crap just stacks up in your pants
Then thickens and begins to coagulate plus
Skin pallid, limbs all stiff
This is called rigor mortis
When you die
Don't even bother thinking about floating to heaven
When you die
You won't burn in hell but you might roast in an oven
When you die
Don't even bother thinking of eternal paradise
When you die
You'll just be fertilising grass in this so-called afterlife
After twenty-four hours or so
You actually eventually swell up and bloat
The gases inside you can't come out so they only
Keep amassing 'til you're either really fat or explode
But don't laugh, cos I mean it, that isn't a joke
It'll happen to the Queen and the average bloke
Bacteria starts devouring both
Flesh and fat from your anatomy, out of your clothes
Then it's down to the crows to come down and carry on
Lunch out on carrion down to the bone
Now you should know that even bones decompose
If you leave them over an aeon or so
There will be no trace of your dead corpse
You'll be feeding potatoes and absorbed
Dug up and eaten off a plate with salad raw
I'm sorry to say I'm afraid that's the law
Actions have reactions so it has to stop
Every man since Adam's travelled back to the cosmos
Rock to iron to steel and back to rust
Ash to ash and dust to dust
Ashes to ashes
And dust to dust
Ashes to ashes
And dust to dust
When you die
Don't even bother thinking about floating to heaven
When you die
You won't burn in hell but you might roast in an oven
When you die
Don't even bother thinking of eternal paradise
When you die
You'll just be fertilising grass in this so-called afterlife

Bull, Dan After Life Comments
You might roast in a oven. That is a fact. And to me at least so is the after life. All the while I believe you won't burn in hell but you might roast in a oven. Jesus Christ didn't die to let that happen.
I'm ok with fertilizing grass in that so called after after. It's living without Katie that scares me. Sleep seems to offer my only relief
Great atheist song 👍
I believe in GOD's promise of everlasting life if one truly believes and accepts Jesus's perfect sacrifice for their sins. None the less from a scientific view point this song is a fun way to learn the process of death as observed here on Earth.
I use to believe it... not so much anymore ... I do believe i have seen GOD's hand at work aka divine intervention.. further more I hope she becomes my eternal paradise
who is the she?
@Blu * The love of my life that was never mine, but today I have little hope of ever being with her, but hey if not her GOD must have someone even better. For I know he hears my prayers.
The beat is disgusting
Well that was depressing! I like it!
I feel like Dan Bull should revive this song.
ORION The Misc of The Internet yes
no, goes against the idea of their is nothing after death, (but yes it needs a come back)
Some of the atoms in your body used to be in dinosaurs.
Listening to this while playing Let It Die
Surprisingly fitting-ish.
I like it
This has always been one of my favourite Dan Bull songs
... Well then... That's quite a terrorfing thought
+Matthew Mason Terrifying
@Al ex yep... I had no idea how to spell that thanks
@Matthew Mason :D No problem.
Its always scary when you think about death
I remember playing this on repeat for hours back in freshmen year of high school, damn those were fun days
It doesn't matter if you believe in heaven or not your soul may go there or to hell but your body bloats explodes stinks and eventually decomposes.
pretty accurate ^_^

Goth-rap?
So grim.... l love it
I believe in Heaven, but still, I like this song.
+Director Bones The songs less about you spirit but you physical body.
Wow amazing I wanna play it very loud at my school so ppl can finally hear what I think
@Saai258 dont do it
@Saai258 As much as I would want to see it happen, don't do it. xD
I legitimately couldn't make it to the end if this song, must admit I've never been scared by a song before :P
+mastterby Scared?
@W1CK Absolutely :P
+mastterby Don't worry you won't feel a thing.
This song relaxes me
I love this song sssooo much.
This is and forever more will be one of the greatest rap songs I have ever known
I love this song so much. Bit then again, I really am a cynical fucker.
Took the words right out of my mouth.
Immortal Technique isn't a band,its one person.But yeah,I agree with you, he is amazing but so is Dan Bull,they are both epic.
You need to listen to a rap band called Immortal Technique
pretty dark, that's good though. People say metal is too dark and depressing and hip hop and rap is all fun. Even though it's usually just idiots talking about sex and beer, You're different and that's what I love about you.
This song is so catchy, and I absolutely love the lyrics at 2:23. Just too awesome, the first song I've ever found about the physical process rather than some spiritual stuff. ♥
sorry to burst you bubble (or maybe make it a bigger and better bubble), I was listening to spotify the other day, and I'm not sure if Dan has heard it and is referencing it (most likely) or just two minds think alike, but solitude by candlemass has the same lyrics, Definitely no hate on Dan and the song, his music helped me through rough times a few years back, and what he does to the lyrics is fitting with the song.
also sorry for responding to a 8 year old comment,

I love this album so much! Just donated some money(I could only afford 5£ for now) and downloaded it. I might order the CD later :).
I love this track! The lyrics are great and I love the hip-hop feel. Keep up the amazing work!
