Avenged Sevenfold - God Hates Us

Total nightmare!

Total nightmare!

You wanna hear my side?

You need to drown to know.

With all the times it hurt me to fuck you,

I built a wall with your blood to show!

God save us!

God save us all!

God hates us!

God hates us all!

Total nightmare!

Total nightmare!

Nothing to heal.

No one to break.

Pills had a role now there's nothing to take.

Nothing to trust.

No one to fake.

You'll find out sooner that it's best if we just know our place

(Lies!)

My infiltrated mind.

My lacerated soul.

It took me years, create me, control you.

I left myself for an idea I stole

God save us!

God save us all!

God hates us!

God hates us all!

Total nightmare!

Total nightmare!

Roar!

Rape!

Kill!

Love!

Hate!

Fear!

You better take your time

(Roar!

Rape!

Kill!)

You better take it slow

Cause when you seek the one

(Love

Hate!

Fear!)

There's nothing left to show.

Total nightmare!

Total nightmare!

Total nightmare!

Total nightmare!

Avenged Sevenfold - Girl I Know

Let me tell you 'bout a girl I know
That comes alive when you take off her clothes
There's no telling just where she's been
Ask around but no one seems to know

Late at night when your looking to sin
Call her up and she'll lay down the law
You can't trust her 'cause she'll lie to your face
But that's not why you gave her a call

Awaits deep inside
The lust and burning desire

We've all been more than eager to sin
And it feels alright, 'till we pay the price
Now you choose either naughty or nice
'Cause she's here for you
It's all yours tonight
You won't believe the stories I've been told
About the girl I know

Another thing about this girl I know
She's more comfortable down on her knees
Went to school, got a job, and then she shot into hell
All 'cause she's born to please
Don't get her mixed up 'cause she knows what she likes
Can tell the difference between right and wrong
She knows you're watching every one of her moves
Just more reason to string you along, yeah

Awaits deep inside
The lust and burning desire

We've all been more than eager to sin
And it feels alright, 'till we pay the price
Now you choose either naughty or nice
'Cause she's here for you
It's all yours tonight
You won't believe the stories I've been told
About the girl I know

The first times hard enough
But you made it through
The seconds time I see the changes in you
She's got you somehow
You're needing her now

We've all been more than eager to sin
And it feels alright, 'till we pay the price
Now you choose either naughty or nice
'Cause she's here for you
It's all yours tonight
You won't believe the stories I've been told
About the girl I know

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

Not that I could

Or 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

All this hurt can finally fade

Promise me you'll never feel afraid

Not that I could

Or 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 hope 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 yo yeah
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

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 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

Avenged Sevenfold - Danger Line

My sixteen, 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 a man should never 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 colors 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 a man should never 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
(Never thought I'd lay in my own blood)
The damage done is far beyond repair
I never put my faith in up above
(Never had much faith in up above)
But now, I'm hoping someone's 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 - Dancing Dead

Dead men,
They celebrate
As the final chapter
Fades away
Cause they can't hide;
We can see their flesh is rotten!

The band plays a hopeful tune
The champagne is poured
As they socialize
The look in their eyes
Hidin' the light!

Everything is paid for tonight
While at the party of the
Dead dancin' in their graves
The drinks here are free
So relax
Enjoy the sight of all the
Dead dancin' in their graves
And while the world that they built
Told 'em to change
Told 'em to listen
They just kept it the same
And now that midnight has come
I'm in a room watchin' the
Dead dancin' in their graves

Bones covered up by suits
As the visible scars,
They multiply
Kiss it good-bye
Too stubborn and now you're destroyed!

Tick, tock
The time bomb has been
Recognized and pressurized
Nowhere to hide
Swallowin' light!

Everything is paid for tonight
While at the party of the
Dead dancin' in their graves
The drinks here are free
So relax
Enjoy the sight of all the
Dead dancin' in their graves
And while the world that they built
Told 'em to change
Told 'em to listen
They just kept it the same
And now that midnight has come
I'm in a room watchin' the
Dead dancin' in their graves

We feel a coming strength
And now it's too late
To change.

{background chatter}

Why'd you want to go?
You drown me with all that you are
Oh, how the mighty fall
Yeah

Everything is paid for tonight
While at the party of the
Dead dancin' in their graves
The drinks here are free
So relax
Enjoy the sight of all the
Dead dancin' in their graves
And while the world that they built
Told 'em to change
Told 'em to listen
They just kept it the same
And now that midnight has come
I'm in a room watchin' the
Dead dancin' in their graves

(4x+fade)
We feel a coming strength
And
now it's too late
To change.

Avenged Sevenfold - Critical Acclaim

Shh... 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)
Heart bleeds but not for fellow men
(Broken glass, your fake reflection)

I've had enough
It's time for something real
I don't respect the words you're speaking
Gone too far
A clone

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'm from we have a special
Salute that we aim high in the air
Towards all those pompous assholes
Who spend their days pointing fingers
(Fuck you)

Shh... 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
Collecting enemies

Tabloid gossip queen, worthless man
(There's no need for us to bury you)
Selfish agenda once again
(Right this way, you've dug your own grave)

I've had enough
It's time for something real
I don't respect the words you're speaking
Gone too far
A clone

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 the 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

Shh... 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)

I've had enough
It's time for something real
I don't respect the words you're speaking
Gone too far
A clone

Avenged Sevenfold - Beast and The Harlot

This shining city built of gold, a far cry from innocence,

There's more than meets the eye round here, look to the waters of the deep.

A city of evil.

There sat a seven-headed beast, ten horns raised from his head.

Symbolic woman sits on his throne, but hatred strips her and leaves her naked.

The Beast and the Harlot.

She's a dwelling place for demons.

She's a cage for every unclean spirit,

Every filthy bird and makes us drink

The poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings.

Fallen now is Babylon the Great.

The city dressed in jewels and gold, fine linen, myrrh and pearls.

Her place will come all at once as mourners watch her burn.

Destroyed in an hour.

Merchants and captains of the world, sailors, navigators too.

Will weep and mourn this loss with her sins piled to the sky,

The Beast and the Harlot.

She's a dwelling place for demons.

She's a cage for every unclean spirit,

Every filthy bird and makes us drink

The poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings.

Fallen now is Babylon the Great.

The day has come for all us sinners.

If you're not a servant, you'll be struck to the ground.

Flee the burning, greedy city.

Lookin' back on her to see there's nothing around.

I don't believe in fairytales and no one wants to go to hell.

You've made the wrong decision and it's easy to see.

Now if you wanna serve above or be a king below with us,

You're welcome to the city where your future is set forever.

She's a dwelling place for demons.

She's a cage for every unclean spirit,

Every filthy bird and makes us drink

The poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings.

Fallen now is Babylon the Great.

Avenged Sevenfold - Bat Country

He who makes a beast out of himself

Gets rid of the pain of being a man

Caught here in a fiery blaze, won’t lose my will to stay
I tried to drive all through the night
The heat stroke ridden weather, the barren empty sights
No oasis here to see
The sand is singing deathless words to me

Can’t you help me? As I’m startin’ to burn
(All alone)
Too many doses and I’m starting to get an attraction
My confidence is leaving me on my own
(All alone)
No one can save me and you know I don’t want the attention

As I adjust to my new sights
The rarely tired lights will take me to new heights
My hand is on the trigger I’m ready to ignite
Tomorrow might not make it but everything’s all right

Mental fiction follow me
Show me what it’s like to be set free

Can’t you help me? As I’m startin’ to burn
(All alone)
Too many doses and I’m starting to get an attraction
My confidence is leaving me on my own
(All alone)
No one can save me and you know I don’t want the attention

I’m sorry you’re not here
I’ve been sane too long my vision’s so unclear
Now take a trip with me
But don’t be surprised when things aren’t what they seem

Caught here in a fiery blaze, won’t lose my will to stay
These eyes won’t see the same, after I flip today

Sometimes I don’t know why we’d rather live than die
We look up towards the sky for answers to our lives
We may get some solutions but most just pass us by
Don’t want your absolution ’cause I can’t make it right

I’ll make a beast out of myself
Gets rid of all the pain of being a man

Can’t you help me? As I’m startin’ to burn
(All alone)
Too many doses and I’m starting to get an attraction
My confidence is leaving me on my own
(All alone)
No one can save me and you know I don’t want the attention

I’m sorry you’re not here
I’ve been sane too long my vision’s so unclear
Now take a trip with me
But don’t be surprised when things aren’t what they seem

I’ve known it from the start
All these good ideas will tear your brain apart
Scared but you, you follow me
I’m too weird to live but much too rare to die

Avenged Sevenfold - Almost Easy

I feel insane every single time
I'm asked to compromise
Cause I'm afraid and stuck in my ways
And that's 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, I'm 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, I'm not - not insane.

(Mother)
Come back to me, it's almost easy
(Said it all)
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. Ha ha ha ha ha
I'm not insane, I'm not - not insane.

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

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
(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
