Afterlife Lyrics - Avenged Sevenfold

1 Like walking into a dream, so unlike what you've seen

2 So unsure but it seems, 'cause we've been waiting for you

3 Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste

4 Of your afterlife here - so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway

5 I see a distant light

6 But girl this can't be right...

7 Such a surreal place to see

8 So how did this come to be?

9 Arrived too early

10 And when I think of all the places I just don't belong

11 I've come to grips with life and realize this is going too far

12 I don't belong here, we gotta move on, dear

13 Escape from this afterlife

14 'Cause this time I'm right, to move on and on

15 Far away from here!

16 Place of hope and no pain, perfect skies with no rain

17 Can leave this place but refrain, 'cause we've been waiting for you

18 Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste

19 Of your afterlife here - so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway

20 This peace on earth's not right (with my back against the wall)

21 No pain or sign of time... (I'm much too young to fall)

22 So out of place, don't wanna stay

23 I feel wrong and that's my sign

24 I've made up my mind

25 Give me your hand but realize I just wanna say goodbye

26 Please understand I have to leave and carry on my own life

27 I don't belong here, I gotta move on dear

28 Escape from this afterlife

29 'Cause this time I'm right, to move on and on

30 Far away from here!

31 Got nothing against you and surely I'll miss you

32 This place full of peace and light

33 And I'd hope you might, take me back inside

34 When the time is right!

35 Loved ones back home all crying 'cause they're already missing me

36 I pray by the grace of God that there's somebody listening

37 Give me a chance to be that person I wanna be

38 (I am unbroken; I'm choking on this ecstasy!)

39 Oh Lord I'll try so hard but you gotta let go of me

40 (Unbreak me, unchain me, I need another chance to live!)

41 Aah!

42 I don't belong here, I gotta move on dear

43 Escape from this afterlife

44 'Cause this time I'm right, to move on and on

45 Far away from here!

46 Got nothing against you and surely I'll miss you

47 This place full of peace and light

48 And I'd hope you might, take me back inside

49 When the time is right!
