Текст песни Black Sabbath - 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 at 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 have 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 snear when death is near
and say they may as well worship the sun?

i think it's true that 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 dont 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 is 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
