Avenged Sevenfold - Afterlife lyrics

[Avenged Sevenfold - Afterlife lyrics]

Like walking into a dream
So unlike what you've seen
So unsure but it seems
'cause 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
'Cause this time I'm right to move on and on
Far away from here

A place of hope and no pain
Perfect skies with no rain
Can leave this place but refrain
'cause 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 that's 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 own life

I don't belong here, we gotta move on, dear
Escape from this afterlife
'Cause this time I'm right to move on and on
Far away from here
Got nothing against you and
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
'Cause they’re already missing me
I pray by the grace of God
That there’s somebody listening
Give me a chance to be that person I wanna be
(I am unbroken, I’m choking on this ecstasy)
Oh, Lord, I’ll try so hard
But, you gotta let go of me
(Unbreak me, unchain me
I need another chance to live)

I don't belong here, we gotta move on dear
Escape from this afterlife
'Cause this time I'm right to move on and on
Far away from here
Got nothing against you and
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
