[rev. June 21, 2021]

Divine is the temple of light
What a sight, the afterlife
A tale of devotion and fire
Suicide for the afterlife

I think that we agree
On what I should do for you
It's not a sacrifice or a helpless plea
I do it out of love for you

Watch my spirit rise to the sky
As my body splits and my flesh divides
And it's all for you, it's all for you
And afterwards when I claim my prize
Of seventy virgins in paradise
I'm told they wait for you

Now is the time of your life
What a life, in the afterlife
Every day I look to the sky
And I'll tell you why, it's for the afterlife

I'm gonna cure all the world of its sin
I'm gonna purify and fight till we win
I'll be at the gates of heaven when he comes to let me in
And I've never been more sure that I'm doing the right thing
