BLACK SABBATH LYRICS - After All (The Dead)

"After All (The Dead)"



What do you say to the dead

Will you forgive me for living

Can't believe the things that they said

Wonderful day for a killing

It's killing me



What do they do with your soul

Is it just lying there busted

When did you lose all control

Is there someone to be trusted

With my mind



Oh there's insufficient evidence

Of what just might come after

But sometimes out of nowhere

There's demented sounds of laughter



Are we all haunted by

The ghost - imagination

It just can't be

I've seen them there

Howling at the moon



Is it just me

Or does somebody else believe this

Well I'm not alone

And I'm not afraid

There's just one way to see



After all [etc.]



What do you say to the dead

Is there a place where it's burning

It says in a book I once read

Yes there's a chance of returning

Turn to me



The fundamental principles

Say nothing of forever

But those are voices that I hear

Or I'm just not so clever



It can't be me

I know somebody else believes this

Well I'm not alone

I'm not afraid

Just one way to see



After all [etc.]
