I'm Here For the Soul, You Can Bury the Heart

i'm here for the soul
you can bury the heart

for the things you have learned
all the things you have thought

for everything you have killed
all the things you have fought

what you keep in your mind
it's in your soul i can find

and yes, i'll take you alive
but, i'd prefer you were dead

as I am here for the soul
so you can bury the heart

So does the soul continue in some form after our death? The heart and brain will either burn or rot depending on how our remains are disposed of. This little write is quite thought provoking. So the soul is us in our entirety, all the good and bad mixed up.

it is what is while you're here to make it. and do a good job, because it's impossible to tell if we get more than one shot.

Burial or cremation? When you are dead does it matter? If, when alive you've made an impression, then you will be remembered!
