As the penultimate track in this album, “Heaven and Hell” feels like a progressive Latin-jazz show tune. Using Omar Khayyam’s “The Rubaiyat” as the center of this album, the lyrics for this song are adapted from Khayyam’s 66th verse, where the speaker seems to be questioning what lies ahead:

Heaven And Hell Lyrics
I sent my Soul through the Invisible
Some letter of the After-life to spell
And by and by my Soul returned to me
Saying "I Myself am Heaven and Hell
Oh, threats of Hell and Hopes of Paradise

That is Life flies
The Flower that once has blown for ever dies
Oh, threats of Hell and Hopes of Paradise
One thing at least is certain
That is Life flies
The Flowеr that once has blown for ever diеs
The Flower that once has blown for ever dies
