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
After all
After all
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
Well, I'm not alone, I'm not afraid
Just one way to see
After all
After all
Coming after all
After all
After all
After all
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
After all
After all
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
Well, I'm not alone, I'm not afraid
Just one way to see
After all
After all
Coming after all
After all
After all
After all
