Nightmare Of The Afterlife

Heavy Metal Dubstep; metalcore; symphonic metal; alternative metal

[Talking Intro]
Welcome home.
You spent your whole life wondering what waited on the other side.
You should've stopped wondering.

[Verse 1]
I watched you every single night
Every selfish choice you justified
Every lie you buried in the dark
I was counting from the start
You called my name without a sound
Every time you dragged somebody down
The gates are closed behind your back
There ain't no going back

[Verse 2]
You thought the fire was just a tale
A little story made to scare you well
I guess you're standing where the shadows feed
And they're hungry for your screams
No clock to save you from the pain
Or sunrise coming through the rain
Instead endless echoes in the black
Of everything you lacked

[Bridge]
[distorted whispers]
You wanted power
You wanted more
Now watch it rot across the floor

[Pre-Chorus]
I know every secret that you hide
Every nightmare buried deep inside

[Chorus]
Welcome to the nightmare of the afterlife
Where forever cuts deeper than a knife
No mercy, rescue, or second try
Your regrets keep you alive
You're gonna wish you never crossed the line
Wish you could turn back time
But eternity's a hungry parasite
In the nightmare of the afterlife

[Post-Chorus]
(Welcome down)
(Welcome down)
(There's no way out)

[Bridge]
[heavy guitar chugs]
Every cry becomes a symphony
Every fear becomes reality
Every sin becomes a chain
Dragging through the flames

[Verse 3]
The walls are made from broken dreams
The air is filled with shattered screams
Every step you take just leads
Deeper underneath

[Verse 4]
You can run but there's nowhere left
You can pray till you've got no breath
The silence answers every plea
With eternity

[Buildup]
[heartbeat drums]
Hear the gates lock
Hear the chains drop
Hear the voices never stop
Every mistake
Every scar
Everything you really are

[Beat Drop]
[orchestral metal drop]
(Nightmare!) 
(Afterlife!) 
(Nightmare of the afterlife!) 
[explosive guitars and choir]

[Verse 5]
I don't need to raise my voice
You already made the choice
Every road you walked alone
Built this throne

[Verse 6]
Now the darkness knows your name
And the fire burns the same
Year after year after year after year
Still standing here

[Bridge]
[choir and strings]
No kingdom shining in the sky
Or angels coming from on high
Only shadows dressed in black
Staring back

[Pre-Chorus]
I know every secret that you hide
Every nightmare buried deep inside

[Post-Chorus]
(Welcome down)
(Welcome down)
(There's no way out)

[Bridge]
[slowed, haunting]
The worst part isn't all the pain
It's knowing you'll never change it

[Outro]
And when the flames finally feel normal
When the screaming becomes home
You'll realize this was only the beginning.

HA! - HA! - HA! 
[evil laughter fades into static]
