Scene Four: Beyond This Life Lyrics


-Past-

Narrator:

Headline: "Murder, young girl killed.

Desperate shooting at Echo's Hill.

Dreadful ending, killer died.

Evidently suicide."

A witness heard a horrifying sound.

He ran to find a woman,

dead and lying on the ground.

Standing by her was a man!

Nervous, shaking, gun in hand.

Witness says he tried to help,

but he turned the weapon on himself!

His body fell across

that poor young girl.

After shouting out in vain,

the witness ran to call

for assistance.

A sad close to a broken love affair!

Our deeds have traveled far,

what we have been is what we are.

Our deeds have traveled far,

what we have been is what we are.

She wanted love forever

but he had another plan.

He fell into an evil way,

she had to let him down.

She said:

"I can't love a wayward man."

She may have found a reason to forgive.

If he had only tried to change,

was their fatal meeting prearranged?

Had a violent struggle taken place?

There was every sign that led there!

Witness found a switchblade on the ground!

Was the victim unaware?

They continued to investigate,

they found a note in the killer's pocket.

It could have been a suicide letter,

maybe he had lost her love.

I feel there's only

one thing left to do!

I'd sooner take my life away

than live with losing you!

Our deeds have traveled far,

what we have been is what we are.

Our deeds have traveled far,

what we have been is what we are.

All that we learn this time

is carried beyond this life,

what we have been is what we are.

All that we learn this time

is carried beyond this life,

what we have been is what we are.

Our deeds have traveled far,

what we have been is what we are.

Our deeds have traveled far,

what we have been is what we are.

All that we learn this time

is carried beyond this life,

what we have been is what we are.

All that we learn this time

is carried beyond this life,

what we have been is what we are.
