Lyrics


Hey kid, do I have your attention?
I know the way you've been living
Life's so reckless, tragedy endless
Welcome to the family

Hey, there's something missing
Only time will alter your vision
Never in question, lethal injection
Welcome to the family

Not long ago you'd find the answers
Were so crystal clear
Within a day you find yourself
Living in constant fear

Can you look at yourself now?
Can you look at yourself?
You can't win this fight

In a way it seems
There's no one to call
When our thoughts are so numb
And our feelings unsure

We all have emptiness inside
We all have answers to find
But you can't win this fight

Hey, I have to question
What's with the violent aggression?
Details blurry, lost him too early
Welcome to the family

Hey, why won't you listen?
Can't help the people you're missing
It's been done, a casualty rerun
Welcome to the family

I try and help you with the things
That can't be justified
I need to warn you
That there is no way to rationalize

So have you figured it out now?
So have you figured it out?
You can't win this fight

In a way it seems
There's no one to call
When our thoughts are so numb
And our feelings unsure

We all have emptiness inside
We all have answers to find
But you can't win this fight

We're here for you and all mankind
I've lost my mind
Psychotic, Rapid dementia
I won't be fine

I see your a king whos been dethroned
Cast out in a world you'll never know
Stand down, place your weapons by your side
It's our war, in the end we'll surely lose
But that's all right

So have you figured it out now?
So have you figured it out?

And in a way it seems
There's no one to call
When our thoughts are so numb
And our feelings unsure

We all have emptiness inside
We all have answers to find
But you can't win this fight

Deep inside where nothing's fine
I've lost my mind
You're not invited so step aside
I've lost my

Deep inside where nothing's fine
I've lost my mind
You're not invited so step aside
I lost my

Lyrics

Your hazel-green tint eyes watching every move I make
And that feeling of doubt, it's erased
I'll never feel alone again with you by my side
You're the one and in you I confide more

And we have gone through good and bad times
But your unconditional love was always on my mind
You've been there from the start for me
And your love's always been true as can be

I give my heart to you
I give my heart 'cause nothing
Can compare in this world to you

And we have gone through good and bad times
But your unconditional love was always on my mind
You've been there from the start for me
And your love's always been true as can be

I give my heart to you
I give my heart 'cause nothing
Can compare in this world to you

I give my heart to you
I give my heart 'cause nothing
Can compare in this world to you

 Lyrics

[M Shadows:]
(Shh, Quiet, might piss somebody off)
Like me motherfucker you've been at it for too long
While you feed off all those insecurities
You stand in front of me and bite the hand that feeds

Self-righteousness is wearing thin
(Lies inside your head, your best friend)
I'll bleed but not for fellow man
(Broken glass, your fake reflection)

[The Rev:]
I've had enough
It's all for something real
Don't respect the words you're speaking
Gone too far, a clone.

[M Shadows:]
So, how does it feel to know that
Someones kid in the heart of America has blood on their hands
Fighting to defend your rights so you can maintain the lifestyle
That insults his family's existence?

[M Shadows:]
Well, where I'm from we have a special salute
We wave high in the air towards all those pompous asses
Who spend their days pointing fingers
(Fuck you)

[M Shadows:]
(Quiet, might piss somebody off)
Like the heartbeat of this country when antagonized too long
I'll be damned if you count me in as part of your
Generous hypocrisy, collected in a maze

Tabloid gossip we want less real
(Theres no need for us to bury you)
Selfish agenda once again
(Right this way, you dug your own grave)

[The Rev:]
I've had enough
It's all for something real
Don't respect the words you're speaking
Gone too far, a clone.

[M Shadows:]
All the way from the east to the west
We got this high society looking down on their very foundation
Constantly reminding us that our actions
Are the cause of all their problems

Pointing their fingers in every direction
Blaming their own nation for who wins elections
They never contributed a fucking thing
To the country they love to criticize

Excuse the obscene, ignore the untrue
Depictions we see, try and get through
And many mistakes can hurt
Im not the last but I sure aint the first
(Quiet, might piss somebody off)

Self righteousness is wearing thin
(Lies inside your head, your best friend)
I'll bleed but not for fellow man
(Broken glass, your fake reflection)

[The Rev:]
I've had enough
It's all for something real
Don't respect the words you're speaking
Gone too far, a clone.

Lyrics

I feel insane every single time
I'm asked to compromise
Cause I'm afraid and stuck in my ways
And thats the way it stays

So how long did I expect
Love to outweigh ignorance?
By that look on your face
I may have forced the scale to tip

I'm not insane, I'm not insane
I'm not insane, Im not, not insane
(Mother)
Come back to me, it's almost easy
(Said it all)
Come back again, it's almost easy

Shame pulses through my heart
From the things I've done to you
It's hard to face but the fact remains
That this is nothing new

I left you bound and tied
With suicidal memories
Selfish beneath the skin
But deep inside I'm not insane

I'm not insane, I'm not insane
I'm not insane, Im not, not insane
(I'm not)
Come back to me, it's almost easy
(Set it off)

Come back again, it's almost easy
(You'll learn your lesson)
Come back to me, it's almost easy
(But first you fall)
Come back again, it's almost easy

Now that I've lost you, it kills me to say
(Hurts to say)
I've tried to hold on as you've slowly slipped away
I'm losing the fight, I've treated you so wrong
Now let me make it right
(Make it all right)

I'm not insane, I'm not insane
I'm not insane, Im not, not insane
(I'm not)
Come back to me, it's almost easy
(Set it off)

Come back again, it's almost easy
(You'll learn your lesson)
Come back to me, it's almost easy
(But first you fall)
Come back again, it's almost easy

Lyrics

Lets take a moment and break the ice
So my intentions are known
See I pity in watching you suffer
I know the feeling of feeling of being damned alone
I have a storybook of my own

Don't you see I am your pride
Agent of will
Bearer of needs
And you know what's right
I am your war
I'm in strong
Aiming the weak
Know me by name
Shepherd of fire

Well I can promise you paradise
No need to serve on your knees
And when you're lost in the darkest of hours
Take a moment and tell me who you see
Wont tell ya who not to be

Now you know I am your pride
Agent of will
Bearer of needs
And you know what's right
I am your war
I'm in strong
Armin the weak
Know me by name
Shepherd of fire

Disciple of the cross and champion of the suffering
Emerge yourself in the kingdom of redemption
Pardon your mind through the chains of the divine
Make way for the shepherd of fire

Through the ages of time
I've been known for my hate
But I'm a dealer of sinful choices
For me it's never too late

I am your pride
Agent of will
Bearer of needs
And you know what's right
I am your war
I'm in strong
Armin the weak

I am your wrath
I am your guilt
I am your lust
And you know it's right
I am your love
I am your stall
I am your trust

Know me by name
Shepherd of fire

Avenged Sevenfold - Unholy confessions

Unholy Confessions



"I'll try," she said as he walked away, "Try not to lose you."
Two vibrante hearts could change
Nothin' tears the being more than deception,
Unmasked fear
I'll be here waiting, tested and secure

Nothing hurts my world,
Just effects the ones around me,
When sin's deep in my blood,
You'll be the one to fall!

I wish I could be the one,
The one who won't care at all,
But being the one on the stand,
I know the way to go, No one's guiding me.

When time soaked with blood turns it's back,
I know it's hard to fall,
Confided in me was your heart,
I know it's hurting you, but it's killing me

Nothing will last in this life,
Our time is spent constructing,
Now you're perfecting a world... meant to sin,
Constrict your hands around me,
Squeeze till I cannot breathe,
This air tastes dead inside me,
Contribute to the plague,
Break all your promises,
Tear down this steadfast wall,
Restraints are useless here,
Tasting salvation's near!

*screaming*

Nothing hurts my world,
Just effects the ones around me,
When sin's deep in my blood,
You'll be the one to fall!

I wish I could be the one,
The one who won't care at all,
But being the one on the stand,
I know the way to go,
No one's guiding me,
When time soaked with blood turns it's back,
I know it's hard to fall,
Confided in me was your heart,
I know it's hurting you, but it's killing me

Avenged Sevenfold - Afterlife

Afterlife



Like walking into a dream
So unlike what you've seen
So unsure but it seems
'Cause weve been waiting for you

Fallen into this place
Just giving you a small taste
Of your afterlife here so stay
You'll be back here soon anyway

I see a distant light
But girl, this can't be right
Such a surreal place to see
So how did this come to be, arrived too early?

And when I think of all the places
I just don't belong
I've come to grips with life
And realize this is going too far

I don't belong here, we gotta move on, dear
Escape from this afterlife
Cause this time I'm right to move on and on
Far away from here

A place of hope and no pain
Perfect skies with no rain
Can leave this place but refrain
'Cause we've been waiting for you

Fallen into this place
Just giving you a small taste
Of your afterlife here so stay
You'll be back here soon anyway

This peace on earth's not right
(With my back against the wall)
No pain or sign of time
(Im much too young to fall)

So out of place don't wanna stay
I feel wrong and that's my sign
I've made up my mind

Give me your hand
But realize I just wanna say goodbye
Please understand I have to leave
And carry on my own life

I don't belong here, I gotta move on, dear
Escape from this afterlife
Cause this time I'm right to move on and on
Far away from here

Got nothing against you
And surely I'll miss you
This place full of peace and light
And Id hope you might
Take me back inside when the time is right

Loved ones back home all crying
'Cause they're already missing me
I pray by the grace of God
That there's somebody listening

Give me a chance to be that person I wanna be
(I am unbroken, Im choking on this ecstasy)
Oh Lord, I'll try so hard but You gotta let go of me
(Unbreak me, unchain me, I need another chance to live)

I don't belong here, I gotta move on, dear
Escape from this afterlife
Cause this time I'm right to move on and on
Far away from here

Got nothing against you
And surely I'll miss you
This place full of peace and light
And Id hope you might
Take me back inside when the time is right

Avenged Sevenfold - Seize The Day

Seize The Day



Seize the day or die
Regretting the time you lost
It's empty and cold without you here
Too many people to ache over

I see my vision burn
I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry
These streets we travel on
Will undergo our same lost past

I found you here
Now please just stay for a while
I can move on with you around
I hand you my mortal life
But will it be forever?

I'd do anything for a smile
Holding you 'til our time is done
We both know the day will come
But I don't want to leave you

I see my vision burn
I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry
A melody, a memory
Or just one picture

Seize the day or die
Regretting the time you lost
It's empty and cold without you here
Too many people to ache over

Newborn life replacing all of us
Changing this fable we live in
No longer needed here
So where do we go?

Will you take a journey tonight
Follow me past the walls of death?
But girl, what if
There is no eternal life?

I see my vision burn
I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry
A melody, a memory
Or just one picture

Seize the day or die
Regretting the time you lost
It's empty and cold without you here
Too many people to ache over

Trials in life, questions of us existing here
Don't wanna die alone
Without you here, please tell me
What we have is real

So, what if I never hold you, yeah
Or kiss your lips again?
So I never want to leave you
And the memories of us to see
I beg don't leave me

Seize the day or die
Regretting the time you lost
It's empty and cold without you here
Too many people to ache over

Trials in life, questions of us existing here
Don't wanna die alone
Without you here, please tell me
What we have is real

Silence, you lost me
No chance for one more day
Silence, you lost me
No chance for one more day

Silence, you lost me
No chance for one more day
Silence, you lost me
No chance for one more day

Silence, you lost me
No chance for one more day
Silence, you lost me
No chance for one more day

Avenged Sevenfold - Nightmare

Nightmare



Nightmare!

(Now your nightmare comes to life)

Dragged ya down below
Down to the devil's show
To be his guest forever
Peace of mind is less than never
Hate to twist your mind
But God ain't on your side
An old acquaintance severed
Burn the world your last endeavor

Flesh is burning, you can smell it in the air
'Cause men like you have such an easy soul to steal (steal)
So stand in line while they ink numbers in your head
You're now a slave until the end of time here
Nothing stops the madness turning
Haunting, yearning, pull the trigger

You should have known
The price of evil
And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah
Oh, it's your fucking nightmare
(While your nightmare comes to life)

Can't wake up and sweat
'Cause it ain't over yet
Still dancing with your demons
Victim of your own creation
Beyond the will to fight
Where all that's wrong is right
Where hate don't need a reason
Loathing self-assassination

You've been lied to just to rape you of your site
And now they have the nerve to tell you how to feel (feel)
So sedated as they medicate your brain
And while ya slowly go insane they tell you
"Given with the best intentions
Help you with your complications"

You should have known the price of evil
And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah
No one to call, everybody to fear
Your tragic fate is looking so clear, yeah
Oh, it's your fucking nightmare, ha ha ha ha!

(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
Fight! (fight) not to fail! (fail) not to fall! (fall)
Or you'll end up like the others
Die! (die) die again! (die) drenched in sin! (sin)
With no respect for another
Oh!

Down! (down) feel the fire! (fire) feel the hate! (hate)
Your pain is what we desire
Lost! (lost) hit the wall! (wall) watch you crawl! (crawl)
Such a replaceable liar

And I know you hear their voices
(Calling from above)
And I know they may seem real
(These signals of love)
But our life's made up of choices
(Some without appeal)

They took for granted your soul
And it's ours now to steal
As your nightmare comes to life

You should have known the price of evil
And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah
No one to call, everybody to fear
Your tragic fate is looking so clear, yeah
Oh, it's your fucking nightmare!

And I know you hear their voices
(Calling from above)
And I know they may seem real
(These signals of love)
But our life's made up of choices
(Some without appeal)

You should have known the price of evil
And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah
No one to call, everybody to fear
Your tragic fate is looking so clear, yeah
Oh, it's your fucking nightmare!without appeal)

Avenged Sevenfold - Dear God

Dear God



A lonely road crossed another cold state line
Miles away from those I love, purpose hard to find
While I recall all the words you spoke to me
Can't help but wish that I was there, back where I'd love to be, oh yeah

Dear God, the only thing I ask of You
Is to hold her when I'm not around, when I'm much too far away
All we need that person who can be true to you
But I left her when I found her and now I wish I'd stayed
Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired, I'm missing you again, oh no, once again

There's nothing here for me on this barren road
There's no one here while the city sleeps and all the shops are closed
Can't help but think of the times I've had with you
Pictures and some memories will have to help me through, oh yeah

Dear God, the only thing I ask of You
Is to hold her when I'm not around, when I'm much too far away
All we need that person who can be true to you
I left her when I found her and now I wish I'd stayed
Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired, I'm missing you again, oh no, once again

Well, some search never finding a way
Before long they waste away
I found you, something told me to stay
I gave in to selfish ways
And how I miss someone to hold when hope begins to fade

A lonely road crossed another cold state line
Miles away from those I love, purpose hard to find

Dear God, the only thing I ask of You
Is to hold her when I'm not around, when I'm much too far away
We all need the person who can be true to you
I left her when I found her and now I wish I'd stayed
Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired, I'm missing you again, oh no, once again

Avenged Sevenfold - A Little Piece Of Heaven

A Little Piece Of Heaven

Before the story begins, is it such a sin
For me to take what's mine until the end of time?
We were more than friends before the story ends
And I will take what's mine, create what God would never design

Our love had been so strong for far too long
I was weak with fear that something would go wrong
Before the possibilities came true I took all possibility from you
Almost laughed myself to tears, conjuring her deepest fears

Must have stabbed her fifty fucking times
I can't believe it
Ripped her heart out right before her eyes
Eyes over easy, eat it, eat it, eat it

She was never this good in bed even when she was sleeping
Now she's just so perfect, I've never been quite so fucking deep in
It goes on and on, and on, I can keep you looking young
And preserved forever with a fountain to spray on your youth whenever

Cause I really always knew that my little crime
Would be cold that's why I got a heater for your thighs
And I know, I know it's not your time but bye, bye
And a word to the wise when the fire dies
You think it's over but it's just begun, baby don't cry

You had my heart, at least for the most part
Cause everybody's gotta die sometime
We fell apart, let's make a new start
Cause everybody's gotta die sometime, but baby, don't cry

The possibilities I'd never considered
Are occurring the likes of which I'd never heard
Now an angry soul comes back from beyond the grave
To repossess a body with which I'd misbehaved

Smiling right from ear to ear
Almost laughed herself to tears

Must have stabbed him fifty fucking times
I can't believe it
Ripped his heart out right before his eyes
Eyes over easy, eat it, eat it, eat it

Now that it's done, I realize the error of my ways
I must venture back to apologize
From somewhere far beyond the grave

I gotta make up for what I've done
Cause I was all up in a piece of heaven
While you burned in hell, no peace forever

Cause I really always knew that my little crime
Would be cold that's why I got a heater for your thighs
And I know, I know it's not your time but bye, bye
And a word to the wise when the fire dies
You think it's over but it's just begun but baby, don't cry

You had my heart at least for the most part
Cause everybody's gotta die sometime
We fell apart, lets make a new start
Cause everybody's gotta die sometime, but baby, don't cry

I will suffer for so long
(What will you do, not long enough?)
To make it up to you
(I pray to God that you do)
I'll do whatever you want me to do
(Well then Ill grant you a chance)

And if it's not enough
(If its not enough, if its not enough)
If it's not enough
(Not enough)
Try again
(Try again)
And again
(And again)
Over and over again

Were coming back, coming back
Well live forever, live forever
Lets have a wedding, have a wedding
Lets start the killing, start the killing

Cause I really always knew that my little crime
Would be cold that's why I got a heater for your thighs
And I know, I know it's not your time but bye, bye
And a word to the wise when the fire dies
You think it's over but it's just begun but baby, don't cry

You had my heart at least for the most part
Cause everybody's gotta die sometime
We fell apart, lets make a new start
Cause everybody's gotta die sometime, but baby, don't cry

Avenged Sevenfold - So Far Away

So Far Away



Never feared for anything
Never shamed but never free
A life to heal the broken heart with all that it could
Lived a life so endlessly
Saw beyond what others see
I tried to heal your broken heart with all that I could

Will you stay?
Will you stay away forever?

How do I live without the ones I love?
Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned
Place and time always on my mind
I have so much to say but you're so far away

Plans of what our futures hold
Foolish lies of growing old
It seems we're so invincible
The truth is so cold

A final song, a last request
A perfect chapter laid to rest
Now and then I try to find a place in my mind

Where you can stay
You can stay awake forever

How do I live without the ones I love?
Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned
Place and time always on my mind
I have so much to say but you're so far away

Sleep tight, I'm not afraid
The ones that we love are here with me
Lay away a place for me
Cause as soon as I'm done I'll be on my way
To live eternally

How do I live without the ones I love?
Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned
Place and time always on my mind
And the light you left remains but it's so hard to stay
When I have so much to say and you're so far away

I love you
You were ready
The pain is strong and urges rise
But I'll see you
When He lets me
Your pain is gone, your hands untied

So far away
And I need you to know
So far away
And I need you to, need you to know

Avenged Sevenfold - Hail To The King

Hail To The King

Watch your tongue or have it cut from your head
Save your life by keeping whispers unsaid
Children roam the streets now orphans of war
Bodies hanging in the streets to adore

Royal flames will carve the path in chaos
Bringing daylight to the night
Death is riding in the town with armor
Because thail take all your rights

Hail to the king, hail to the one
Kneel to the crown, stand in the sun
Hail to the king (hail, hail, hail, the king)

Blood is spilled while holding keys to the throne
Born again, but it's too late to atone
No mercy from the edge of the blade
Thail'll escape and learn the price to be paid

Let the water throw it's shades of red now
Arrows black out all the light
Death is rotting in the town with armor
Thail've come to grant you your rights

Hail to the king, hail to the one
Kneel to the crown, stand in the sun
Hail to the king (hail, hail, hail, the king)

There's a taste of fear (hail, hail, hail)
When the henchmen call (hail, hail, hail)
Iron fist to tame them (hail, hail, hail)
Iron fist to claim it all (hail, hail, hail)

Hail to the king, hail to the one
Kneel to the crown, stand in the sun

Hail to the king, hail to the one
Kneel to the crown, stand in the sun
Hail to the king (hail, hail, hail)
