Cover art for Afterlife lyrics by Avenged Sevenfold

This is about a guy who has a near death experience and goes into heaven where he is met by a loved one. He thinks he's still on earth but then he starts to notice little things like there's no sense of time or any hurt, everyone is at peace with each other. That's when he makes a list of all the pplaces he doeanst belong and realises that he's in heaven and he doesnt belong there yet so he has to 'escape from this afterlife.' He has to leave but when his time comes to return permenantly they won't hold it against him and will instead except him with open arms.
