Death Is Not the End Lyrics

I've been listening to a fantastic Polish version of this song that was posted on youtube without understanding all of the lyrics, but I had the feeling it was saying that even if everything's going wrong with your life and world now, don't worry, things will be better after you die.

And now that I see all the lyrics here in front of me, there's something that really cracks me up about the way it goes from this in the first verse:

When you're sad and when you're lonely, and you haven't got a friend Just remember that death is not the end

To this in the last one:

When the cities are on fire with the burning flesh of men Just remember that death is not the end.
