Afterlife (Live)

[Speaking: M. Shadows]

Let me hear you now Long Beach!

[Verse 1]

Like falling 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

[Pre-Chorus 1: Zacky Vengeance & Synyster Gates]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Pre-Chorus 2: Zacky Vengeance & Synyster Gates]

Give me your hand but realize I just wanna say goodbye

Please understand I have to leave and carry on my own life

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge: M. Shadows & The Rev]

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!)

[Guitar Solo]

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

Hahahaha

[Chorus]

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

(Yeah!)

[Outro]

[Speaking: Synyster Gates]

Amazing

[Speaking: M. Shadows]

I like, we got the uh, the "welcome home" sign over there, that's very nice, thank you very much

Thank you!

[Speaking: Zacky Vengeance &

M. Shadows]

We got the uh, "Zacky is the man for me" sign

Yeah

I sure am baby!

[Speaking: M. Shadows]

Zacky is the man for me... Wow

And we got video cameras everywhere filming all of you beautiful people for a DVD tonight

[Speaking: Zacky Vengeance]

All you guys do look good

[Speaking: M. Shadows]

Y'know what I love about Long Beach?

It's kinda like, well everything yeah, but that's what I'm getting to

It's kinda like it's own city of evil over here man

Lots of crazy shit happens in Long Beach

In fact, The Rev used to live in Long Beach for a little bit
