Drink a Toast In Heaven
Celestial Toast: Revelations in Turner Cody's Harmonic Ode
Lyrics
Drink a toast in heaven
Expressing the act of raising a glass in tribute or celebration in the afterlife.
From your gold throne in the sky
Addressing someone in heaven, picturing them in a majestic setting.
At a barroom of the angels
Imagining a celestial gathering place for angels, resembling a bar.
In the old by and by
Referring to a time in the distant future or the afterlife.
With the firmament about you
Describing the heavenly surroundings with the sky and celestial bodies.
And the waters up above
Continuation of the celestial imagery with water above, suggesting a divine atmosphere.
Drink a toast in heaven
Repetition of the call to raise a glass in heaven, reinforcing the theme of celebration.
And let it fall on the ones you love
Encouraging the toast to fall as a blessing upon those cherished in memory.
Drink a toast in heaven

And let it fall on the ones you love

Their ship is going under

And drowning in the years
