Black Sabbath - After Forever Lyrics






Have you ever thought about your soul - can it be saved?
Or perhaps you think that when you're dead you just stay in your grave
Is God just a thought within your head or is he a part of you?
Is Christ just a name that you read in a book when you were in school?

When you think about death do you lose your breath or do you keep your cool?
Would you like to see the Pope on the end of a rope - do you think he's a fool?
Well I have seen the truth, yes I've seen the light and I've changed my ways
And I'll be prepared when you're lonely and scared at the end of our days

Could it be you're afraid of what your friends might say
If they knew you believe in God above?
They should realize before they criticize
that God is the only way to love

Is your mind so small that you have to fall
In with the pack wherever they run
Will you still sneer when death is near
And say they may as well worship the sun?

I think it was true it was people like you that crucified Christ
I think it is sad the opinion you had was the only one voiced
Will you be so sure when your day is near, say you don't believe?
You had the chance but you turned it down, now you can't retrieve

Perhaps you'll think before you say that God is dead and gone
Open your eyes, just realize that he's the one
The only one who can save you now from all this sin and hate
Or will you still jeer at all you hear? Yes! I think it's too late.

  10. H.... C....

    Is it just me or does anyone else think that this song has a punkrock feel in it?
    The punky attitude.
    The saucy or lippy attitude you can hear from 1977's punkrock.
    (Im not sure if that's the right words. I got them from Google Translate. The swedish word is "uppkäftig".)
    It's so cool to hear a punky song about God and Jesus.

    H.... C....

    Black Sabbath paved the way for so many bands 😁

    H.... C....

    Listen close, it is telling you profess that God is the only salvation from sin. And it insists to repent before it's too late.

    m.... m....

    Yes it s true no satanism

  15. M.... ....

    The Master of reality Is Ozzy Osbourne as he is a master lyricist-so glad he's still with us-Happy 70th Birthday !!!

    M.... ....

    I think Geezer Butler wrote this song

    M.... ....

    Geezer wrote most of Sabbath’s lyrics

    M.... ....

    Music was written by Tony ;) I'm not sure about the lyrics 'cause on one site you can find info that lyrics was written by Tony and on the other one they say that it was written by Geezer

    M.... ....

    Ozzie did little writing. Most was penned by Geezer.

  16. Y.... B....

    God damn! Just when I thought there couldn't be any more great Black Sabbath songs

  17. D.... C....

    Master of Reality (definition) One of the first doom metal albums ever

    D.... C....

    It was actually the first, this album is mostly just Doom Metal with the exception of Children of The Grave

    D.... C....

    I don't know if you're talking seriously or just trolling... This isn't doomy at all.

  18. J.... G....

    "Would you like to see the Pope at the end of a rope, do you think he's a fool?"

    J.... G....

    Did you make that off or is it actually part of the lyrics?

    J.... G....

    @Ya Boi Yes, it is from lyrics

    J.... G....

    @Ya Boi It's from the lyrics. Geezer Butler, who wrote the lyrics, was/is a very devout Catholic.
