Avenged Sevenfold - "Remenissions"

With this ink in my skin we've sealed our fate,
and the axe comes early
(only naturally) So what does that matter?
There's a bed of skeletons waiting for me,
on the other side
They're waiting for my next move (next fatal breath)
Human lives to me seem so unreal, can't see through the fog
(nothing past a grey wall) see past the stereotype
Belief, structure built up in you.
I'll tear you down and the one who created you


If they didn't have One how would they act?
If we didn't have hope how would we behave?
Would they still feel remorse
if they slaughtered innocent beings?
Or is hope the only thing that keeps you sane?


A good friend once told me you are memory
without them we equal nothing
And all I can see is the place I wanna be
Suddenly my life was so free
Leaves at my feet, blown to the ground
their echoes are reaching my ears
Night's coming fast, suns going down
But keep away from me...


Keep away from me [x4]
(It's hard, to keep me in this place, keep away from me)


We may have created the beginning, mentally
We may have created the beginning, physically
To the end of our human existence...


I see through you
The fear that's in your eyes


A good friend once told me we are memory
Without them we equal nothing
And all I can see is the place I wanna be
Timeless my life was so free
Leaves at my feet, blown to the ground
their echoes are reaching my ears
Nights coming fast, suns going down - confused
I don't know the answers but neither do you

Avenged Sevenfold -"Chapter Four"

Give me your hand, (Conceived and born was one of light)
blood is spilt and man will follow
infernal man, (Rain and dark, the other born black night)
punishment too great to bear


Raise your head and taste the courage
(the one of light)
Fall from grace, unholy night


I've come here to kill you,
won't leave until you've died
Murder born of vengeance,
I closed my brothers eyes tonight...


It's cold tonight as the clouds turn grey
and from my hands to my brothers grave
You took his side, you took his gift,
feel the power of a fallen man,
crestfallen man...


Far away in this land I must go,
out of the sight of the One.
A punishment sent from His hand
a hardship that no one should know
Now go out of the sight of the One,
away in this land you must go.


Where has he gone? What have you done?
A voice commands from high above this earth.
From the soil his blood cries out to me
Murder, liar, vengeance, deceit.


Far away in this land I must go,
out of the sight of the One.
A punishment sent from His hand
a hardship that no one should know
Now go out of the sight of the One,
away in this land you must go.

Avenged Sevenfold - "Unholy Confessions"

"I'll try," she said as he walked away.
"Try not to lose you."
Two vibrant hearts could change.
Nothing tears the being more than deception,
unmasked fear.
"I'll be here waiting" tested and secure.


Nothing hurts my world,
just affects 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 its 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 our plague.
Break all your promises,
tear down this steadfast wall,
restraints are useless here,
tasting salvation's near.


Nothing hurts my world,
just affects 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 its 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 - "Shattered By Broken Dreams"

I see you fading away from us.
I'll miss you very much.
Room with empty bottles, broken dreams,
and pride still running high, always on your side.


But I wanted more for you.
You can't go on this way.
And now I see it all fall through.
We pray for better days.


Stuck alone and scared.
Throw your life away
and now choking on your pride
may be the only way.


I don't want to leave you like this.
We all tried to save you but missed.
I still feel the hope on your road.
Now come back to us like the days of the old.


I still feel you there, trying to get on top.
You'll always have my support, in my heart.
People you've hurt.
Friends that you've lied to.
But we understand, and that's not you
can't take the end of the road,
I can see it now, for you,
I'm scared, if I lose you, I'm not prepared.
This time, if you die.
I watch you, right before my eyes.
Just trust me, and listen.
You have no self control.


This will take your life.
(Will take your life)


Overdose and then indulge until you die.
Wondering, we still ask the question why.
Broken home, and then abandoned by your dad.
And we are left the only family that you've ever had.

Help you see it through.
Fight this me and you.
Reaching deep inside.
Problems not just you is what we find.
Our friendship makes it mine.

Avenged Sevenfold -"Streets"

You live your whole life staring at a wall,
your mind goes blank sooner now you will fall.
You never learned the things you say to know now, but how?
There seems to be a difference, two different types of kids.
The ones who go out and the ones that are taught to live.
One groups taught how and the other group is taught why.


There's no need to tell you what's in my mind,
but in the game of life I'm doing fine.
No reason to tell you which way to be.
Cause the streets have opened my eyes to see.
[x2]


Look what's happening now.
What are the reasons why and how?
And don't you think it sounds stupid when someone's treated
different cause they're not the same as me or you?

Avenged Sevenfold -"Thick And Thin"

I don't want to know
And I don't want to see you in this place
Your kind is a disgrace as I spit in your face
And I don't want to hear anymore
A friend is fucked with while he's having fun on the dance floor


Get the fuck out of here now
Come on you kids, stand your ground
This is your show, it's your family
All of my friends there for me


There's four-hundred more of us then them
So kick them out
Keep it positive
Keep it real
Keep it true
Together with my friends
I'll be there for you


There's four-hundred more of us then them
So kick them out

Through the problems thick and thin and problems we'll fight through
This is to my brothers; I'll be there for you
Through the problems thick and thin and problems we'll fight through
This is to my family; I'll be there for you


I don't want to know
And I don't want to see you in this place
Your kind is a disgrace as I spit in your face
And I don't want to hear anymore
A friend is fucked with while he's having fun on the dance floor

Avenged Sevenfold -"Forgotten Faces"

Forgotten faces.
Lost in yesterdays realm.
Drained with confusion.
Where did it all go?
Look into the past, look into their faces.
Never, the thought of being time fucked.
But now they're all gone and all that's left is this blank faced picture.
Ninety percent, nothing was done, nothing accomplished,
coasting through life didn't seize the day.
No one ever realized that they're already dead.
By the time you realize, you'll be dead too.
Without another chance to save the world,
these things they're gone, your gone, forgotten.
Now your face in my picture frame. It's gone, forever.
Right before my very eyes.
And just when I thought I made light of things.
It slips away, into darkness.
My life passes now I see.
Just what this world does hold for me.
It's getting hard, harder to breathe.
Am I out of time is that what this means?
Well that's what it means.
That's what it means, you and me try to breathe.
Now you. Realize.
Your life, flies by.
Now I. Realize.
My life, I die.

Avenged Sevenfold - "Breaking Their Hold"

When you see them coming in form.
And they say they do what's best for you.
Fighting for one total control.
They are planned and organized for you.
Breaking their hold. Breaking their hold of control they strive.
To keep you down, behind your back, the time has come, the end is near.
It's when you sleep, so late at night, and in the light, getting prepared.
It's not to help you, but help their cause, under one system, you wont exist.
They are the few, with all the power,
our system screams, we can't let them tear our hearts out.
Screaming, pulling on our pride.
Stand together for the right cause, one system to our demise.

Avenged Sevenfold -"An Epic Of Time Wasted"

So much time I've wasted.
I can truly say I never thought it would come to this.
Never would I doubt you, but the truth kept smacking me in the face.
Reality. You never stopped to think and you ripped us apart.
How could you? Now our time is gone but it's still breaking my heart.
Tears run down as I think of the days we've had,
and the memories will last forever,
but you and I have died and gone our separate ways.
You are the one.
You are the wrong one.
Breaking the mold.
Going your own way.
All I feel, betrayal.
So much time I've wasted, and I never thought it'd come to this.
Apology.
We had something great, then it was washed away.
We had something more, then I can explain.
I'm sorry. No! We had something great, then it was washed away.
No! Not all friendships last, the genuine are harder to take.
No! Time to start again, hope someday you'll think of me.
No! The end reality, I know someday I'll think of you.

Avenged Sevenfold - "Lips Of Deceit"

The mark I breathe on you.
It's burning through your soul.
The breath I waste.
Losing control.
I bleed in pain.
Testing what I know.
Lips soaked in deceit.
Pull me from here.
No one's innocent.
So why do I feel bad?
But guilt keeps creeping, creeping up on me.
Guilt. Tearing me up inside.
The innocent.
An evil in disguise.
The face of beauty to fall for.
I fall to my knees, deceitful.
Brought down by feelings of regret.
Again your mind has failed the test.
Not everyone feels the same.
Pacifist blinded by the game.
Stand tall. They'll break your heart.
Stand tall. They'll smash your ego.
Stand tall. They'll tear you down.
Stand tall. Scar your soul.
Break your thought.
Fuck your mind.
The mark I breathe on you.
It's burning through your soul.
The breath I waste.
Losing control.
I bleed in pain.
Testing what I know.
Lips soaked in deceit.
Pull me from this hole.

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.

Avenged Sevenfold -"We Come Out At Night"

Black and gray clouds willow in the balance as the sun falls.
Rain plays a heart warming tune, on the pavement.
Emotions stir.
A feeling of warmness, compassion, I feel at home.
Disguised by surroundings.
As the torn and left in the gutter seek vengeance on their mistreated lives.
As the torn and left in the cold, seek vengeance on mistreated lives.
As the torn and left in the cold, seek vengeance on mistreated lives.


A silhouette stands still.
A cactus on a warm summer night.
But the rain falls cold
and the moon shines bright.


Black as night.
Cold as ice.
Warm as home.
Ready to live.
Stars they shoot.
In a clear.
Across the sky.
As does my time.
Waiting, wanting, feeling, emotion.
Crying, breaking, loving, nothing.


Clouds swallow the moon, and I'm alone,
thinking good times, and why'd they go?


Breaking down, breaking away from me.
Falling down, breaking away from me.
Fuck.


I need this place to get away from you.


Clouds swallow the moon, and I'm alone,
thinking good times, and why'd they go?

Avenged Sevenfold - "The Art Of Subconscious Illusion"

A living nightmare, asleep but still aware.
The endless torture.
The painless pleasure.
I grasp myself.
Trying to regain control.
I experience and learn.
In another faction of my mind.
So confused.
But everything makes perfect sense.
Can't feel the pain.
Emotional pain's so much deadlier.
Lost, you've just been raped.
Pain. Your friends can't help you.
Why won't they help you? Another reality.


This can't be happening.
Why is this happening?
Who the fuck are you?
Who the fuck. Are you?


Trying hard to figure out what's done.
I scramble but now I run.
The images in my head.
All the problems that I've been fed.


Punching slowly my mind can't change the speed.
As my victims bleed.
No matter what I do or how hard I try.
I can't use my abilities.
Use my abilities.
Use my abilities.


Art of Illusion.


My razor sharp knife's edge, pierces my victim's body.
But I cannot take their soul.
Punching through jello, stabbing not killing.
Disappointment. Discomfort.

Avenged Sevenfold - "Darkness Surrounding"

Darkness coats us.
The smell of fall.
Changing season.


The graveyard is alive, black cat across my path,
the chill of cold wind, the breath of the dead.


Imprisoned souls.
Trapped for eternity.


Black crows break the silence.
The garden of the dead's alive tonight and you can't stop it.
Just enjoy it.


Open up your mind and you will feel it too.
The sound, the touch, the thoughts, that you've been so blind to.


You can feel the thoughts of the dead.
Feeling the thoughts of the dead.
True or false, it's still there, teaching me.
True or false, still there, teaching me.


You can feel it tonight.
The wood has rotted away.
Take the time absorb it.
Their time is slipping away.
Stone all carved by hand.
Statues that resemble their faces.
They still breathe.
Come join us.


Smell the burning embers, time flickering away.
Timeless but soon gone.
Timeless but soon gone.
[x3]


And I can find myself, alone with just my thoughts.
As time crumbles away.
Time crumbles away.


Smell the burning embers, time flickering away.
Timeless but soon gone.
Timeless but soon gone.


And I can find myself, alone with just my thoughts.
As time crumbles away.

Avenged Sevenfold -"Turn The Other Way"

Slit my wrists, take away the pain.
Slit my throat, there's no one to blame.
Lost in the fields of confusion.
Restless nights, they're not far away.
Away, what.


I came here for something and I'm not turning back.
Strong piece of mind but you still hold my keys.
Keeping my fate deep within your threshold.
Petty inconvenience but it means the world to me.


You hold the power.
To set me free.
Caught in your grasp, how?
Just let me be.
Give me control out.
Out of these depths.
A fiery hell.
I pray for death.


I've been the wrong one time and time again.
Now I'm on my knees forgive me please.
Tore out my heart, handed to me on a silver platter.
Sew up the hole, emptiness in the place of compassion.


You made me this way.
I am the product of your creation.
Sew up the hole, right now,
Now you turn the other way.


You've turned away from me,
The future's much to far away to see.
I hope you learn the truth,
not the way things were meant to be with me and you.

Avenged Sevenfold - Not Ready To Die

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


The endless possibilities
Controlling 9-3-5.


You can't break me
Crushed the fears of yesterday
You can't save 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 take 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


[Guitar solo]


Through the madness we find
Loyalty is no match for power
Say goodbye to your life, left to rot in
Your darkest hour
Friends won't help you now as long as you're mine


You can't break me
Crushed the fears of yesterday
You can't take 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!


Ready to die!
Ready to die!
Ready to die!
Not ready to die!

Avenged Sevenfold - "So Far Away"

"So Far Away"

Album:Nightmare

Song Writer: Synster Gates

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
