Afterlife

Singer: Avenged Sevenfold
Written by: The Rev
Album: Avenged Sevenfold

Like walking into a dream, so unlike what you've seen
So unsure but it seems, 'cos we've been waiting for you
Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste
Of your afterlife, here so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway

I see a distant light, but girl, this can't be right
Such a surreal place to see, so how did this come to be
Arrived too early?

And when I think of all the places I just don't belong
I've come to grips with life and realize this is going too far

I don't belong here, we gotta move on, dear
Escape from this afterlife
'Cos this time I'm right to move on and on
Far away from here

Place of hope and no pain, perfect skies with no rain
Can leave this place but refrain, 'cos we've been waiting for you
Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste
Of your afterlife, here so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway

This peace on earth's not right (with my back against the wall)
No pain or sign of time (I'm much too young to fall)
So out of place, don't wanna stay, I feel wrong and my sign
I've made up my mind

Give me your hand but realize I just wanna say goodbye
Please understand I have to leave and carry on my on life

I don't belong here, I gotta move on, dear
Escape from this afterlife
'Cos this time I'm right to move on and on
Far away from here

Got nothing against you, but surely I'll miss you
This place full of peace and light
And I'd hope you might take me back inside
When the time is right

Loved ones back home all crying 'cos they're already missing me
I pray by the grace of God that there's somebody listening
Give me a chance to be the person I wanna be
(The Rev - I am unbroken; I'm choking on this ecstasy)
Oh Lord, I'll try so hard, but you gotta let go of me
(The Rev - Unbreak me, unchain me, I need another chance to live)

I don't belong here, I gotta move on, dear
Escape from this afterlife
'Cos this time I'm right to move on and on
Far away from here

Got nothing against you, but surely I'll miss you
This place full of peace and light
And I'd hope you might take me back inside
When the time is right
