Avenged Sevenfold

[Verse 1: M. Shadows & The Rev]

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

[Pre-Chorus: M. Shadows]

Self-righteousness is wearing thin

(Lies inside your head, your best friend)

Heart bleeds, but not for fellow men

(Broken glass, your fake reflection)

[Chorus: The Rev]

I've had enough, it's time for something real

I don't respect the words you're speaking

Gone too far, a clone

[Post-Chorus: M. Shadows & The Rev]

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 the lifestyle that insults his family's existence?

Well, where I'm from we have a special salute

We aim high in the air towards all those pompous assholes who spend their days pointing fingers

(Fuck you!)

[Verse 2: M. Shadows and The Rev]

Shh! Quiet, you might piss somebody off

Like the heartbeat of this country when antagonized too long

You'll be damned if you count me in as part of your

Generous hypocrisy, collecting enemies

[Pre-Chorus: M. Shadows]

Tabloid gossip queen, worthless man

(There's no need for us to bury you)

Selfish agenda once again

(Right this way, you dug your own grave)

[Chorus: The Rev]

I've had enough, it's time for something real

I don't respect the words you're speaking

Gone too far, a clone

[Post-Chorus: M. Shadows]

All the way from the east to the west, we got this high society lookin' down on their very foundation

Constantly reminding us that our actions are the cause of all their problems

Pointing their fingers in every direction

Blamin' their own nation for who wins elections

They've never contributed a fuckin' thing to the country they love to criticize

[Bridge: M. Shadows]

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

[Interlude: M. Shadows & The Rev]

Hey! (Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)

Shh! Quiet, you might piss somebody off

(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus: M. Shadows]

Self-righteousness is wearing thin

(Lies inside your head, your best friend)

Heart bleeds, but not for fellow men

(Broken glass, your fake reflection)

[Chorus: The Rev]

I've had enough, it's time for something real

I don't respect the words you're speaking

Gone too far, a clone

[Verse 1]

Caught up in this madness too blind to see

Woke animal feelings in me

Took over my sense and I lost control

I'll taste your blood tonight

[Pre-Chorus]

You know I make you want to scream

You know I make you want to run from me baby

But know it's too late you've wasted all your time

Yeah

[Verse 2]

Relax while you're closing your eyes to me

So warm as I'm setting you free

With your arms by your side there's no struggling

Pleasure's all mine this time

[Pre-Chorus]

You know I make you want to scream

You know I make you want to run from me baby

But know it's too late you've wasted all your time

[Chorus]

Cherishing, those feelings pleasuring

Cover me, unwanted clemency

Scream 'til there's silence

Scream while there's life left, vanishing

Scream from the pleasure unmask your desire

Perishing

[Verse 3]

We've all had a time where we've lost control

We've all had our time to grow

I'm hoping I'm wrong but I know I'm right

I'll hunt again one night

[Pre-Chorus]

You know I make you want to scream

You know I make you want to run from me baby

But know it's too late you've wasted all your time

[Chorus]

Cherishing, those feelings pleasuring

Cover me, unwanted clemency

Scream 'til there's silence

Scream while there's life left, vanishing

Scream from the pleasure unmask your desire

Perishing

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

Some live repressing their instinctive feelings

Protest the way we're built don't point the blame on me

[Verse 4]

Scream, scream, scream the way you would

If I ravaged your body

Scream, scream, scream the way you would

If I ravaged your mind

[Chorus]

Cherishing, those feelings pleasuring

Cover me, unwanted clemency

Scream 'til there's silence

Scream while there's life left, vanishing

Scream from the pleasure unmask your desire

Perishing

[Verse 1: M. Shadows]

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 comin' 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 comin' home to you

[Chorus: M. Shadows]

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 comin' home to you

[Breakdown: M. Shadows]

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah-oh

[Verse 2: M. Shadows]

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

[Chorus: M. Shadows, M. Shadows & The Rev]

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

[Bridge: M. Shadows & Shanna Crooks]

I've always been true (Ahh)

I've waited so long just to come hold you (Ahh, ahh, ahh)

I'm making it through (Ooh)

It's been far too long

We've proven our love over time's so strong (Ahh, ahh, ahh)

In all that we do

The stars in the night (Ooh, ooh, ooh)

They lend me their light to bring me closer to heaven with you (Hey, hey, ohh, oh, yeah)

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus: M. Shadows, M. Shadows & The Rev]

But with all that we've been through

After all this time, I'm comin' 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

[Intro]

(Out of time)

[Verse 1]

Doc, I'm dying, I'm feeling compromised (feeling compromised)

And so dehumanized (and so dehumanized)

I lost my final fight to disease, I feel that this is where it ends

I need that shot to enter my vein

My Brompton Cocktail blend

[Chorus]

'Cause I can't feel my face

I won't struggle on

In a world so cold

In a world so wrong

I'm not running away, been fighting this so long (so long)

Such a price that we pay, we've got to be so strong

In a lie

[Verse 2]

I'm tired, induced euphoria (induced euphoria)

To help me move along (help me move along)

I want to meet my maker in peace, I want to feel alive again

So put that smile back on my face and mix it strong my friend

[Chorus]

'Cause I can't feel my face

I won't struggle on

In a world so cold

In a world so wrong

I'm not running away, been fighting this so long (so long)

Such a price that we pay, we've got to be so strong

[Post-Chorus]

And I'll take my life tonight

'Cause I have the right to die how I want to

And leave how I arrived

So alive

[Bridge]

I believe my sins have been forgiven

And I believe my choice will save me from this life

Please don't question why

My sins have been forgotten

I believe I'll find peace in afterlife

Please don't question why

I left this way

[Chorus]

'Cause I can't feel my face

I won't struggle on

In a world so cold

In a world so wrong

I'm not running away, been fighting this so long (so long)

Such a price that we pay, we've got to be so strong

[Post-Chorus]

And I'll take my life tonight

Cause I have the right to die how I want to

And leave how I arrived

So alive

[Outro]

Alive

[Intro: M. Shadows]

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

[Verse 1: M. Shadows & The Rev]

Our love had been so strong for far too long

I was weak with fear that somethin' would go wrong

Before the possibilities came true

I took all possibility from you

Almost laughed myself to tears (Ahahaha)

Conjuring her deepest fears (Come here, you fuckin' bitch)

[Refrain: The Rev, The Rev & M. Shadows, M. Shadows]

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 sleepin'

Now she's just so perfect, I've never been quite so fuckin' deep in

[Pre-Chorus: M. Shadows]

It goes on and on and on

I can keep you lookin' young and preserved forever

With a fountain to spray on your youth whenever

[Chorus: M. Shadows]

'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

[Post-Chorus: M. Shadows & The Rev, M. Shadows]

You had my heart

At least for the most part (Ah-ah, ah)

'Cause everybody's gotta die sometime

We fell apart

Let's make a new start (Ah-ah, ah)

'Cause everybody's gotta die sometime, yeah-yeah

But baby, don't cry

[Verse 2: M. Shadows]

Now possibilities I'd never considered

Are occurring to 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 misbehave

Smiling right from ear to ear

Almost laughed herself to tears

[Refrain: The Rev, The Rev & M. Shadows, M. Shadows]

Must have stabbed him fifty fuckin' times

I can't believe it

Ripped his heart out right before his eyes

Eyes over easy

Eat it, eat it, eat it (Eat the shit out of 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

[Pre-Chorus: M. Shadows]

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

[Chorus: M. Shadows]

'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

[Post-Chorus: M. Shadows & The Rev, M. Shadows]

You had my heart

At least for the most part (Ah-ah-ah)

'Cause everybody's gotta die sometime

We fell apart

Let's make a new start (Ah-ah-ah)

'Cause everybody's gotta die sometime, yeah-yeah

But baby, don't cry

[Bridge: M. Shadows & Juliette Commagere]

(What will you do?) I will suffer for so long

(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 I'll grant you one chance)

And if it's not enough (It's not enough, if it's not enough)

If it's not enough (Not enough), try again (Try again)

And again (And again), over and over again

[Breakdown: M. Shadows]

We're coming back, coming back

We'll live forever, live forever

Let's have a wedding, have a wedding

Let's start the killing, start the killing

[Instrumental Break]

[Interlude: Zacky Vengeance, Juliette Commagere, M. Shadows]

Do you take this man in death for the rest of your unnatural life?

(Yes, I do)

Do you take this woman in death for the rest of your unnatural life?

(I do)

I now pronounce you—

[Chorus: M. Shadows & The Rev]

'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

[Post-Chorus: M. Shadows & The Rev, M. Shadows]

You had my heart

At least for the most part (Ah-ah-ah)

'Cause everybody's gotta die sometime

We fell apart

Let's make a new start (Ah-ah-ah)

'Cause everybody's gotta die sometime, yeah-yeah

But baby, don't cry

[Verse 1: M. Shadows]

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

[Pre-Chorus: M. Shadows]

I'm not insane, I'm not insane

I'm not insane, I'm not, not insane

[Chorus: M. Shadows, (Avenged Sevenfold)]

(Mother) Come back to me, it's almost easy

(Said it all) Come back again, it's almost easy

[Verse 2: M. Shadows]

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

[Pre-Chorus: M. Shadows]

I'm not insane, I'm not insane

I'm not insane, I'm not, not insane

[Chorus: M. Shadows, (Avenged Sevenfold)]

(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'll fall) Come back again, it's almost easy

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge: M. Shadows with The Rev, Avenged Sevenfold]

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)

[Pre-Chorus: ]

I'm not insane, I'm not insane, hahahahaha

I'm not insane, I'm not, not insane

[Chorus: M. Shadows, (Avenged Sevenfold)]

(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
