Now, don't hang on
nothing last forever
but the earth and sky
it slips away

And all your money
won't another minute buy
Anyone who says that, while he may be right in a philosophically right, has obviously never bumped into a person who said "your money or your life!" and really meant it.

Not to mention there may be no life after death. Why have a shitty life here for the off-chance of there being a better afterlife?

Dude, you can't argue with Kansas. And the song is not religious in any way.

Anyway, here's some poetry:

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shatter'd visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamp'd on these lifeless things,
The hand that mock'd them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains: round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

Cue magma.
Ah, the Magma Carta...
