Discover the Soulful Lyrics of Evanescence’s “Afterlife” [via Genius]

[Verse 1]
Hide before the floodgates open
Can we just lie here ’til it’s all over?
I hear the violence coming, turnin’ road inside
You build your walls, but can’t forget the hate you hide

[Pre-Chorus]
Down to finally meet you in the

[Chorus]
Afterlife
Save me from this pain and fill the hole inside
You wonder why I’m all out of tears to cry
Today I’m not, not afraid to die

[Verse 2]
Breathe, I think you’re finally broken
If we don’t die here, we’ll always be haunted
I feel thе panic in everyone watchin’
Liе to me, we’ve all been used
Is all I do for the sick fantasy?
I’m holdin’ onto one belief

[Pre-Chorus]
I’ll see you in the

[Chorus]
Afterlife
Save me from this pain and fill the hole inside
You wonder why I’m all out of tears to cry
Today I’m not afraid to die

[Bridge]
(Oh-oh) No one hears me pray for my revenge
(Oh-oh) Nothing’s gonna wash away these sins
(Oh-oh) I’ll bathe in the fire, no more walls to mend
(Oh-oh) We all die in the end, but I know who I am

[Pre-Chorus]
So judge me in the

[Chorus]
Afterlife
Save me from this pain and fill the hole inside
You wonder why I’m all out of tears to cry
Today I’m not, not afraid to die

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
I’m all out of tears to cry
Today I am not afraid to die
