Avenged Sevenfold – Welcome To The Family

Hey kid (hey kid)
Do I have your attention?
I know the way I’ve been living
Life 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

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

Hey (hey kid)
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 re-run
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

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

Here for you and all mankind
I’ve lost my mind
Psychotic round in dementia
I won’t be fine

I see, your escape has been dethrone
Cast out in a world you’ll never know
Stand there, place your weapons by your side
It’s in the end, we’ll surely lose but that’s alright

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’ve lost my…
I lost my

Avenged Sevenfold – Warmness On The Soul

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.

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.

Avenged Sevenfold – Victim

House full of roses, a letter on the stairs
A tape full of messages for anyone who cares
Collage of broken words, and stories full of tears
Remembering your life ’cause we wish that you were here

Nothing is harder than to wake up all alone
Realize it’s not okay it’s the end of all you’ve known
Time keeps passing by but it seems I’m frozen still
Scars are left behind but some too deep to feel

And some say this can’t be real
And I’ve lost my power to feel, tonight
We’re all just victims of a crime
When all is gone and can’t be regained
We can’t seem to shelter the pain inside
We’re all just victims of a crime

Some days you’ll find me in a place I like to go
Ask questions to myself bout the things I’ll never know
What’s left to find cause I need a little more
I need a little time can we even up the score?

And some say this can’t be real
And I’ve lost my power to feel, tonight
We’re all just victims of a crime
When all is gone and can’t be regained
We can’t seem to shelter the pain inside
We’re all just victims of a crime

And nothing lasts forever
For all good things it’s true
I’d rather trade it all
While somehow saving you
It must have been the season
That threw us out of line
Once I stood so tall
Now I’m searching for a sign

So don’t need your salvation
With promises unkind
And all the speculations
Save it for another time
‘Cause we all need a reason
A reason just to stay
And some just can’t be bothered
To stick around another day

And some say this can’t be real
And I’ve lost my power to feel, tonight
We’ve all been victims of a crime
When all is gone and can’t be regained
We can’t seem to shelter the pain inside
We’ve all been victims of a crime
Victims of a crime, living with this crime

I’m missing you
I’m missing you
I’m missing you
I’m missing you

Avenged Sevenfold – Until The End

Weekends on young and angry street
We’d meet, drink ’til trouble found us there
Living life as without a care

We’ve had our fights, been black and blue
It’s true, I’ve even gone to jail for you, my friends
Bet your life that I’d do it again

Until the end

Don’t change the way you think of me
We’re from the same story
Life moves on, can’t stay the same
But some of us, some worry

While some have gone their separate ways
There’s some still caught up with the past instead
But move on, you’re missing most of your life

They say it’s hard to stay the same
When some fail, while other men seem to gain
But friends, I’ll be with you here until the end

Until the end

Don’t change the way you think of me
We’re from the same story
Life moves on, can’t stay the same
But some of us, some worry

We’re all falling forward with no signs of slow
And some moving faster
But that’s all that I wanted, I wanted

You know it’s hard, it’s passing by
Memories, be out all night
To reminisce won’t bring you back
Just look ahead and hold on tight

We’re all falling forward with no signs of slow
And some moving faster
But that’s all that I wanted, I wanted

Don’t change the way you think of me, oh yeah

Until the end, until the end
Until the end, until the end

Avenged Sevenfold – 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
Facing 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 away forever

How do I live without the ones I love?
Time still turns the pages of the book it’s burned
Facing 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 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
Facing 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 enough despite
But I’ll see you
When it lets me
Your pain is gone, your hands are tied

So far away
And I need you to know

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

Avenged Sevenfold – 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?
Woooaaah, so I never want to leave you and the memories for 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)
I stand here alone
Falling away from you, no chance to get back home

Avenged Sevenfold – Save Me

SKULL!

(They all know, they all know! )

Sorry, did I wake your dreams?
Some questions run to deep.
We only (only) wake up when we sleep.
Led by the lunar light, trouble’s all we find
Lost our way tonight

Is it something we said?
Is it something we said to them?
Is it something we said!

(Save me)
I’m trapped in a vile world,
(Save me)
Where the end games all the same as every other.
We’re only here to die.
(Save me)
I’m losing my only dream.
(Save me)
I can use some guiding light, some place to go.
If you hear me, let me know.

(They all know, They all know! )

Ever since the day you left my fate’s been set unknown.
How many years to walk this path alone?
So much to see tonight, so why’d you close your eyes?
Why can’t I shut mine?

Is it something we did?
Is it something we did to them?
Is it something we did!

(Save me)
I’m trapped in a vile world,
(Save me)
Where the end games all the same as every other.
We’re only here to die.
(Save me)
I’m losing my only dream.
(Save me)
I can use some guiding light, some place to go.
If you hear me, let me know.
If you hear me, let me know.

(Epic guitar solo)

So, help me find my way
I said help me find my way, yeah

No pulse inside of me,
Stone cold lips and heresy.
All lies and to a degree,
Losing who I want to be.
Find out, right now.

He may be out of his mind, but someday you will find,
That sanity left us all blind, and dragged us all behind,
A moment seen through those eyes, crystal blue disguise,
They say that all beauty must die, I say it just moves on…

If you’d only open your mind, then some day you will find,
Insanity left us behind, and walked right through the door.
I can see the picture’s clear as yesterday, pictures all my own
I can hear the voices begging you to stay, but know you’re not alone.

(Save me)
I’m trapped in a vile world,
(Save me)
Where the end games all the same as every other.
We’re only here to die.
(Save me)
I’m losing my only dream.
(Save me)
I can use some guiding light, some place to go.
If you hear me, let me know.
If you hear me, let me know.

Tonight we all die young.
Tonight we all die young.
Tonight we all die young.
Tonight we all die young.
Tonight we all die young.
Tonight we all die young.
Tonight we all die.
Tonight we all die young!

Avenged Sevenfold – Nightmare

NIGHTMARE!!!!!!!
Now your nightmare comes to life.

Dragged you down below
Down to the devils 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 banging numbers in your head
You’re now a slave until the end of time
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.. Oooooooh
It’s your fucking nightmare
While your nightmare comes to life

Can’t wake up in 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
Love is self-assassination

You’ve been lied to
Just to rape you of your sight
And now they have the nerve to tell you how to feel (feel)

So sedated as they medicate your brain
And while you slowly go insane they tell ya
“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
Oooooooh.. It’s your fucking nightmare
HA! HA! HA! HA!

(Break)

(Maniacal laughter)
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.. Oooooooh
It’s your fucking nightmare

Avenged Sevenfold – Natural Born Killer

One snap for the dying
One click to end the day
Another story with a mangled scene
It couldn’t happen any other way

You wanna talk about it?
I’m begging you to walk in my shoes any time
Watch the clock ’til you unwind
You wanna cry about it?
It’s making me consider that I lost my mind
The way I see you must be blind

So this is the world you left behind
This is the guilt that consumes you

So die alone
This is the one thing that I won’t do
So say your prayers
‘Cause I ain’t leaving here without you

Can’t bribe me with money
Can’t shower me with shame
Another killer from a broken home
Until you covered me with manic fame

You wanna know about it?
Well I’ma be fucking with you every time
Story broke and you’re behind
And when you ask about it,
You can rest assured I’ll give you my best side
Seem we all have friends to find

So this is the hate I’ve been born to
Full are the tales of the untrue

So die alone
This is the one thing that I won’t do
So say your prayers
‘Cause I ain’t leaving here without you

And I’m waiting
Waiting for the days to slowly pass me by
(And all the promises I’ll find)
No hesitating, you pull the trigger now your story’s left behind
I know you want to see me fry,
Like my soul, you won’t survive

So die alone
This is the one thing that I won’t do
So say your prayers
‘Cause I ain’t leaving here without you

To die unknown
Would crush the fish lens we all see through
To kill the glare
Expose the ugliness we hold true

Avenged Sevenfold – M.I.A.

Staring at the carnage
praying that the sun would never rise
Living another day in disguise
These feelings can’t be right
lend me your courage to stand up and fight
Ooh tonight

Ooooo…
Stand up and fight

The fighting rages on and on,
to challenge me you must be strong
I walk your land but don’t belong,
two million soldiers can’t be wrong

It’s not fun but I’ve been here before
I’m far from home and I’m fighting your war
(Not the way I pictured this, I wanted better things)
Some are scared others killing for fun
I shot a mother right in front of her son
(Take this from my consciousness, and please erase my dreams)

Fight for honor, fight for your life
Pray to God that our side is right
Although we won, I still may lose
Until I make it home to you
I see our mothers filled with tears
grew up so fast where did those years go?
Memories won’t let you cry
unless I don’t return tonight

So many soldiers on the other side
I take their lives so they can’t take mine
(Scared to make it out alive now murder’s all I know)
Nobody tells me all the reasons we’re here
I have my weapons so there’s nothing to fear
(Another day, another life, but nothing real to show for)

Fight for honor, fight for your life
Pray to god that our side is right
Even though we won, I still may lose
Until I make it home to you
I see our mothers filled with tears
grew up so fast where did those years go?
Memories won’t let you cry
unless I don’t return tonight

Staring at the carnage, praying that the sun would never rise.
Living another day in disguise.
These feelings can’t be right,
lend me your courage to stand up and fight.

Watching the death toll rise wondering how I’m alive.
Stranger’s blood on my hands, shot all I can
There are no silent nights, watching your brothers all die
To destroy all their plans with no thought of me
(No thought of me)
No thought of me

Ohhhhh…

Walk the city lonely
Memories that haunt are passing by
A murderer walks your streets tonight
Forgive me for my crimes
Don’t forget that I was so young, but so scared
in the name of God and Country

Avenged Sevenfold – I Won’t See You Tonight Part 1

Cry alone, I’ve gone away
No more nights, no more pain
I’ve gone alone, took all my strength
But I’ve made the change,
I won’t see you tonight

Sorrow,
sank deep inside my blood
all the ones around me,
I cared for and loved

It all built up, inside of me
A place so dark, so cold, I had to set me free
Don’t mourn for me, you’re not the one to place the blame
As bottles called my name, I won’t see you tonight

Sorrow, sank deep inside my blood
all the ones around me,
I cared for and most of all I loved
but I can’t see myself that way
please don’t forget me or cry while I’m
away

Cry alone, I’ve gone away
No more nights, no more pain
I’ve gone alone, took all my strength
But I’ve made the change,
I won’t see you tonight

(So far away, I’m gone. Please don’t follow me tonight.
And while I’m gone, everything will be alright.)

No more breath inside
Essence left my heart tonight
2x
(So far away, I’m gone. Please don’t follow me tonight.
And while I’m gone, everything will be alright.)

Avenged Sevenfold – I’m Not Ready To Die

Gone cast away in time
Evil yours, now evil mine
So I robbed you blind
The voices in my head could just a less than peaceful side

The endless possibilities controlling every fight
You can’t break me, crushed the fears of yesterday
You can’t change me, barriers our trust will fade

I’ve stood in the dark,
Been waiting all this time
While we damn the dead I’m trying to survive
I’m not ready to die

Damned, watch the masses fall
Burn it down, control ‘em all
Make me crawl, to daddy’s little
girl to read the writings on the wall

While cast into the nothingness the final curtain call
You can’t break me, crushed the fears of yesterday
You can’t change me, barriers our trust will fade

I’ve stood in the dark,
Been waiting all this time
While we damn the dead I’m trying to survive
I’m not ready to die

Through the madness we find
Loyalty is no match for power
Save your body or lie, left to rot in your darkest hour
Friends won’t help you now as long as your mine

You can’t break me, crushed the fears of yesterday
You can’t change me, barriers our trust will fade.
I’ve stood in the dark, been waiting all this time
While we damn the dead I’m trying to survive

And I’ll control the world one person at a time
As I damn the dead I’m trying to survive

I’m not ready to die!!!! Oh!

I’m not ready to die!!!
I’m not ready to die!!
I’m not ready to die!!
I’m not ready to die!!!!

Avenged Sevenfold – Gunslinger

Yeah, you’ve been alone
I’ve been gone for far too long
But with all that we’ve been through
After all this time I’m coming home to you

Never let it show
The pain I’ve grown to know
‘Cause with all these things we do
It don’t matter when I’m coming home to you

I reach towards the sky I’ve said my goodbyes
My heart’s always with you now
I won’t question why so many have died
My prayers have made it through yeah
‘Cause with all these things we do
It don’t matter when I’m coming home to you

Letters keep me warm
Helped me through the storm
But with all that we’ve been through
After all this time I’m coming home to you

I reach towards the sky I’ve said my goodbyes
My heart’s always with you now
I won’t question why so many have died
My prayers have made it through yeah
‘Cause with all these things we do
It don’t matter when I’m coming home to you

I’ve always been true
I’ve waited so long just to come hold you
I’m making it through
It’s been far too long, we’ve proven our
love over time’s so strong, in all that we do
The stars in the night, they lend me their light
to bring me closer to heaven with you

(Bring me closer)

But with all that we’ve been through
After all this time I’m coming home to you

I reach towards the sky I’ve said my goodbyes
My heart’s always with you now
I won’t question why so many have died
My prayers have made it through yeah
‘Cause with all these things we do
It don’t matter when I’m coming home to you

And with all that we’ve been through
After all this time I’m coming home to you

Avenged Sevenfold – Flash of the Blade

As a young boy chasing Dragons
with your wooden sword so mighty,
You’re St. George or you’re David and you always
killed the beast
Times change very quickly
And you had to grow up early
A house in smoking ruins and the bodies at your feet

You’ll die as you lived
In a flash of the blade
In corner forgotten away
You lived for the touch
For the feel of the steel
One man, in his Honour.

The smell of resined leather
The sticky iron mask
As you cut and thrust and parried at the
fencing master’s call
He taught you all he ever knew
To fear no mortal man
And now you’ll reach your vengeance in the
Screams of evil man.

You’ll die as you lived
In a flash of the blade
In corner forgotten away
You lived for the touch
For the feel of the steel
One man, in his Honour.

You’ll die as you lived
In a flash of the blade
In corner forgotten away
You lived for the touch
For the feel of the steel
One man, in his Honour.

Avenged Sevenfold – Fiction

Now I think I understand
How this world can overcome a man.
Like a friend we saw it through
In the end I gave my life for you.

Gave you all I had to give
Found a place for me to rest my head.
While I may be hard to find
Heard there’s peace just on the other side.

[The Rev]
Not that I could
Nor that I would
Let it burn
Under my skin,
Let it burn.

Left this life to set me free
Took a piece of you inside of me.
Now this hurt can finally fade
Promise me you’ll never be afraid.

[The Rev]
Not the I could
Nor that I would
Let it burn
Under my skin
Let it burn

I hope it’s worth it, here on the highway, yeah
I know you’ll find your own way when I’m not with you

So tell everybody, the ones who walk beside me, yeah
I know you’ll find your own way when I’m not with you tonight

I hope it’s worth it, what’s left behind me, yeah
I know you’ll find your own way when I’m not with you

So tell everybody, the ones who walk beside me, yeah
I know you’ll find your own way when I’m not with you tonight

Avenged Sevenfold – 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
We all 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
We all 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 – Danger Line

My 16 locked and loaded
All fear has been avoided
You say the words and my weapon is drawn

This one could be my last time
Some people call it war crime
I may be staring down a lethal sight
To die

Nothing shocks you like a bullet hole
Leaving my fear on the danger line
Suffering no man should ever know
Leaving my faith on the danger line

I do this for my family
My daughter loves her daddy
Too many talk down on things they don’t know

With colours never faded
Reckless and unabated
They may take me but never take us all
I’ll crawl

Nothing shocks you like a bullet hole

Leaving my fear on the danger line
Suffering no man should ever know
Leaving my faith on the danger line

I know what you’re thinking, I’ve been there before
So think of the times, the time we spent laughing away
So think of the times at home (life without a care)

Now I find myself in my own blood
The damage done is far beyond repair
I never put my faith in up above
But now I’m hoping someones there

I never meant to leave this world alone
I never meant to hurt the ones who cared
And all this time I thought we’d just grow old
You know no one said it’s fair
Tell my baby girl that it’s alright, I’ve sung my last song today
Remind the Lord to leave his light on for me
I’m free

Avenged Sevenfold – Burn It Down

Jealousy’s an ugly word, but you don’t seem to care
Converse behind my back, but now I’m here
Need no one to comply with me though everyone that I defeat
Don”t need you, fuck camaraderie, this rage will never go away

Hatred fuels my blood
I’ll burn ya down (You can’t help me)
One king to watch the horsemen fall
I’ll fight ’til the end (I won’t help you)
I can’t trust anyone (See it in my eyes)
Now I can understand
It’s sorrow that feeds your lies
Whoa, yeah!

You’re on my back when the water gets too deep for you to breathe
A crutch for you that won’t always be there
Hide in the dark another day
The fear in you is here to stay
So keep the fuck away from me and learn to trust the words I say

Hatred fuels my blood
I’ll burn ya down (You can’t help me)
One king to watch the horsemen fall
I’ll fight ’til the end (I won’t help you)
I can’t trust anyone (Witness and see it in my eyes)
(Chorus vocalizing)
Now I can understand
Put faith in you for the last time
It’s sorrow that feeds your lies
Huh! Yeah, yeah!

Running from me before I tear you down (Be afraid)
You chose the wrong side (It feels so right)
I won’t help you, let you run away (Despise what you say – Chorus vocalizing)
Run towards the light exposing your soul (We won’t be there by your side – Chorus vocalizing)
Salvation’s dying (Somebody’s crying)
We’re all gone in the end (Chorus vocalizing)
Sweet child we’ll miss you
Whoa, so far away, far away

(Guitar solo)

I can’t trust anyone (Witness and see it in my eyes – Chorus vocalizing)
Now I can understand (Put faith in you for the last time)
It’s sorrow that feeds your lies

Falling away
Can’t buy back time
Burn it down anyways

Avenged Sevenfold – Carry On

Some people leave the selfish desire
Some chose to shout when they speak and …
Guarding the flame of those in defiance
Seeking adults with a voice
One for the..

They see me cross (?) my mind, we just gain control
Search endlessly, fight till we’re free
Love as the engine, the sea
No bending me, no mockery,
Somehow we still carry on

… to be, we’ve got to move higher,
Unlock the stars in the sky
Guarding us all
Battle the will of those who consṗire,
Take back the passion to live, relish the sorrow

Destroys their perfect crime, watch the power fold
Search endlessly, fight till we’re free
Love as the engine, the sea
No bending me, no mockery,
Somehow we still carry on

Search endlessly, fight till we’re free
Love as the engine, the sea
No bending me, no mockery,
Somehow we still carry on
Carry on

Avenged Sevenfold – Afterlife

Like walking into a dream, so unlike what you’ve seen
so unsure but it seems, ’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

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 (I’m 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 I’d 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
(Who are you?; I am unbroken; I’m 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 I’d hope you might
take me back inside when the time is right
