After All (The Dead) - Black Sabbath

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

I’m not alone

I’m not afraid

There’s just one way to see

After all…

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

I’m not alone

I’m not afraid

Just one way to see

After all…
