After Forever

After Forever
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.

Okay, seriously guys?? Both Christians and Atheists can be prejudiced. Both can be open to other people's beliefs as well. Saying that that ALL Christians or ALL Atheists are closed-minded is is bit closed-minded itself. And saying that you are tolerant, but that the other group isn't is hypocritical. Just my two cents...

I've been listening to this for 30 years now. Everytime I show the lyrics to someone they can't believe that John Osbourne wrote this. Needless to say that it is Black Sabbath it is still the most powerful acknowledgement that there is a supreme & divine being of the universe & arguement is pointless.The message is there for all of us. Is God just a thought in your head or is he a part of you? I will not fall in with the pack. So please nobody respond to me I will not divulge an arguement!!!!!

I like how it rolls in on a note...it's floating out there in the ether and if you dial it in it comes and gives it's message and then rolls back out on a note...it's really brilliant too...I am still trying to wrap my head around how astute and slightly preachy the lyrics are...the melody and rhythm are so insistent and heavy...just an awesome song...
