Avenged Sevenfold - Blinded In Chains

And we're at it again, I turn around another fucking war, man

I don't know where to begin, but I'll start with the radical leaders

Their steps we're followin'

Running, don't go back and fight, too many you'll lose

(And as clowns you follow suit behind the blood between the red and white and blue but it's too deep for you to see and

everyone eventually will take the step cause it's in sight you take the left I'll take the right I fell the hate you've built

for me and I say pay attention baby)

As they thank the Lord the blind can't see

Like a plague fed to the brain, deadly disease

But it wasn't a sin, a sorry life in judging every action

And as they're feeding your mind with this shit you forgot

How to speak how to ask all the questions

The business at hand tonight, make the people choose

(I see another side in you but there's not much more I can do from on the outside looking in your government is listenin' to

push you on the story of immortal father mortal son give them your mind and all your wealth the cycle will rebirth itself)

If they had it their way I'd burn in Hell and your future's a fuckin' disaster can't you see

Don't give them all the power when your future's in desperate trouble baby

As they thank the Lord the blind can't see

Like a plague fed to the brain, deadly disease

I'd run away tonight with my mind still intact you gotta make it alright

Easier said than done with no place to hide and having no place to (run)

Running away from condition, I see you but you're running away from

Your scared seductive system

Most would claim I live a lie when pointing out it's easy to predict these things

Every color has its side, they live together vote and most won't read between these lines

Please help us, please save us of coarse they have control we're all the same

Up on the cross, crucified their problem drove the nail and let Him rot

Family and friends, it won't matter in the end I'm sure they'll understand Now look at the world and see how the humans bleed

As I sit up here and wonder "bout how you sold your mind, body and soul

Looking at the fields so green I know this sounds obscene

I see you're living for tomorrow but decisions you have made will leave you empty

You've fallen asleep in denial

Look at the way we're dyin'

How it ends I'll never know

Just live your life blind like me

Avenged Sevenfold - Clairvoyant Disease

Dust begins to fall, to the ground

The air is cold and thin

Thoughts are haunting me as I look around

This will never end and I'll bleed forever


Don't acknowledge right, just dwell on wrong

This spot in hell's where I belong

I've come so far - it's been so long

Don't know why it started or where it came from


Outside shell is strong - confident

But slowly eats away

Like a man plagued with disease, I try to fight

Through my pores it seems to seep...

I'll bleed forever


And you sit there and do nothing

You're content with doing nothing


There's nowhere to run and hide

when you're living to die

Stuck alone inside your head,

better off dead

The phone would ring in the empty house,

no one's around.


But in my life, I wanted more, I needed more

I taste more

Avenged Sevenfold - 04.00 AM

There comes a day when we all find out for ourselves
That once we have the words to say, there's no one left to tell
I know why you're running away

There's a place where nothing seems to be a simple cry cohesively
It's all your mind, all your mind
Something little shouldn't feel this way, we got a million thoughts we can't convey
It's all your life, all your life

It's four in the morning, you got one more chance to die
Like beautiful stories, the greatest chapters flew right by
There comes a day when we all find out for ourselves
That once we have the words to say, there's no one left to tell
I know why you're running away

These things don't happen here, another fictional reality
It's all you'll find, all you'll find
It's just as good as any other day, I'm gonna teach you about mortality
No, it's not right, it's not right

It's four in the morning, you got one more chance to die
Like beautiful stories, the greatest chapters flew right by
There comes a day when we all find out for ourselves
That once we have the words to say, there's no one left to tell
I know why you're running away

In many ways, I guess I'll never let you go
I'm close behind but I've got room here left to grow
Until our second chance, just enjoy the dance,
And find out who we are (these dreams will never leave you)
Let's find out what we are (these dreams will never leave you)
(Never leave you asking why)

It's four in the morning, you got one more chance to die
Like beautiful stories, the greatest chapters flew right by
There comes a day when we all find out for ourselves
That once we have the words to say, there's no one left to tell
I know why you're running
I know why you're running away

Avenged Sevenfold - I wont see you tonight part 2

There comes a day when we all find out for ourselves
That once we have the words to say, there's no one left to tell
I know why you're running away

Something little shouldn't feel this way, we got a million thoughts we can't convey
It's all your life, all your life

It's four in the morning, you got one more chance to die
Like beautiful stories, the greatest chapters flew right by

Avenged Sevenfold - Critical acclaim

Shhh… quiet you might piss somebody off
Like me motherfucker you've been at it for too long
While you feed off others' 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 men
(Broken glass, your fake reflection)

Telling them it's all for something real
Don't respect the words you're speaking
Gone too far
Acclaim

So how does it feel to know that someone's kid
in the heart of America has blood on their hands
fighting to defend your rights
so you can maintain a lifestyle
that insults his family's existence
Well, where I come from we have a special
salute waved high in the air
to all those pompous assholes
who spend their days pointing fingers
(Fuck You)

Shhh… quiet you 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 and amazed

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

Telling them it's all for something real
Don't respect the words you're speaking
Gone too far
Acclaim

All the way from the east to the west we've
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 and blaming their
own nation for who wins elections
They've 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
Admitting mistakes can hurt
I'm not the last but I sure ain't the first

Shhh… quiet you might piss somebody off

Self-righteousness is wearing thin
(Lies inside your head your best friend)
Heart bleeds but not for fellow men
(Broken glass your fake reflection)

Telling them it's all for something real
Don't respect the words you're speaking
Gone too far
Acclaim

Avenged Sevenfold - So Far Away

Never feared for anything
Never shamed but never free
A life that healed a 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 its 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 its 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 its 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 enough despite
But I'll see you
When He 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
Need you to know
