After Forever
Biohazard Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yo this is biohazard from brooklyn new york dropping some respect for almighty
Black Sabbath 1994 Motha Fuckas

Have you ever thought about your soul, can it be saved?
Or perhaps you think that when you're dead you just stay your grave
Is God just within your head or is he a part of you?
Is Christ just a namethat 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 the truth. Yes I have seen the light and I've changed my ways.
And I'll be prepared when you're lonely and scaredat the end of our days.

Could it be you're afraid of what your friends might say
If they knew you believed in God above
They should realize before they criticise
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 whemn death is near
And say they might as well worship the sun.

I think it is true it was people like you that crucified Christ
I think it is sad that the opinion you had was the only one voiced.
Will you be so sure when your day is near say you won't believe?
You had a 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.

Overall Meaning

Biohazard's "After Forever" is a cover song originally written and performed by Black Sabbath. The lyrics implore the listener to ponder about the existence and salvation of their soul. It challenges their beliefs and questions their ability to think beyond peer pressure and conformism. The song acts as an open invitation for the listener to consider the possibility of the existence of a higher power and its influence on life and death. The lyrics also indicate that it is better to be prepared for death rather than to ignore its inevitability. The song ends with a warning that it might be too late for some to change their minds.


The song was featured on the Black Sabbath tribute album "Nativity in Black: A Tribute to Black Sabbath" released in 1994. The album also featured covers by notable artists such as Slayer, Megadeth, and White Zombie.

Me acuerdo de mis 16 años cuando salió este tributo

@irishrebel7616

Literally one of the best albums ever made. It’s up there with the Judgement Night soundtrack.

@user-bz9sj8mh5d

Haven't listened to this album in forever. Damn, I forgot just how fire this cover by Biohazard was.

@mykneeshurt8393

I won this CD at the CD listening party the radio station had at the club. somehow ended up with the poster too. whole album is killer.

@frankfence7919

This whole album kicks ass 😊😊😊

@9w96b6

This album introduced me to Black Sabbath. Have been a fan ever since!

@elongatedmusket7430

One of my fav Sabbath covers. No frills just rocking it.

@NoName-rj6qe

Damn! That biohazard cover is INSANE!

@TheMeJustMe75

Thanks for posting this album, I forgot how good it was. There isn't many Black Sabbath songs that I don't like. Classic Rock radio has worn Paranoid and Iron Man out.

@jairorodriguesdesouza4914
