Lyrics:
Like walking 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
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
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!
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
Give me your hand but realize I just wanna say goodbye
Please understand I have to leave and carry on my own life
I don't belong here, I 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!
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! )
Aah!
I don't belong here, I 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!

50 synchronizedsinister gates is the shredding king
1miss this era🥺
3Still listening
1hello
4It’s a masterpiece, even within the metal genre. It’s hard to believe they started out playing metalcore.
4Came to watch this masterpiece after watching Aaron from The Spin Doctors nail this on Drumeo!!!!
1Anyone 2026 5 september still the biggest fan❤
26I like how most of the band looks like class Avenged Sevenfold, but Zacky Vengeance looks like a nice young man your grandma would like.
2I like the part The Rev scream when playing drums
6Bro this is my favorite band of all time. Glad I can name all of their songs from every album just by memory.
2Send my love to The ReV, 2026 still here cool man. I'll make sure my kids know you and this band.🌹
3This is my favorite avenged sevenfold song
63:30 the best part
1Just realizing so many years later that they didn't add the bridge with the Rev singing in the music video. My favorite part
1108 feels like a lifetime ago 😢
4The new drumeo video brought me back to this classic...
353Always a great time to hear it again...
62026 anyone else?
19 years of listening to this song and that solo still gives me chills
1318 Years later, you're still listening to this masterpiece You're a legend .
17Fun fact. Singer tore out his vocal chords screaming at a concert. Blood shot out and everything. Nursed his voice back and still has the best voice in the industry.
112Anyone in 2026?
192026 anyone?
3,002Anyone 2026 ??
82026 anyone? Happy New Year
412If you remember this song

7781:08 best part
91anyone 2025??
3,1552:29 my fav part
112The fact they cut the bridge of the song in the video is criminal.
176Can we bring this back? This music? This feeling? This vibe. The world needs more of this
760Ok ok, this is actually their one of the best songs imo and i hate ppl saying its overrated. It isn't
381Someone will still hear this song in 2024😂❤
1142024 and I still listen this masterpiece
25Anyone 2024 ?
5,092We don’t search for old songs.
633We search for the memories.
🖤🤞🏼
Avenged Sevenfold is good at two things:
2,4911. Making music
2. Making me cry
A message to Generation Z please continue to listen to A7X and this masterpiece do not let it die.
947Fun fact: When I was a kid I thought the name Avenged Sevenfold meant the band had seven singers. So I had essentially envisioned this band as like a metal seven dwarves, and I was always trying to figure out which one was singing whenever I was listening to one of their songs.
3,126I remember when this song first came out and the music video was on tv. I was super pumped to finally see a video of them, but the shock and disappointment I felt when I realized there was only one singer and zero metal dwarves has haunted me ever since. I'll never forgive this band for that. They didn't do anything wrong, but I'll never forgive them.
Edit: Holy shit this is the most likes I've ever gotten. Thx guys It's really nice to see rn.
I love this band, I will never get tired of their music
1,2290% nudity
310% violence
100 % music
200% eyeliners
The saddest irony about this song is that the rev wrote it
3,199A message to the future generations... don't let this masterpiece song die.
9,596Here after Joey Jordison passed. That's now two of the most influential drummers in the metal scene of the past 20 years gone. RIP Rev and Joey
2,465I feel like this song has the perfect melody, lyrics, bass, guitar playing, and drums .... Simply a masterpiece 🔥🔥🔥
71414 Years later, you're still listening to this masterpiece You're a legend .

Theory: Afterlife is about someone who experiences a near-death experience, but begs their way to a 2nd chance at life. Nightmare picks up the story when the person in Afterlife final dies, but wasted there second chance, leading to them having to withstand their worst nightmare in hell
242Idk why but this song makes me feel like i'm the main character lmao
368: Dad, what are you holding?
192: My magic melon to aid my vocal.
Bro the nostalgia is so strong it hurts
