Black Sabbath – After All (The Dead) Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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?

[Verse 3]

Oh, there's insufficient evidence

Of what just might come after

But sometimes out of nowhere

There's demented sounds of laughter

[Verse 4]

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

[Chorus]

After all

After all

After all

After all

[Verse 5]

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

[Verse 6]

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

[Chorus]

After all

After all

Coming after all

After all

After all (Ah)

After all

After all
