Avenged Sevenfold - This Means War lyrics

This Means War lyrics

Hide my face again
Harbor in the shadows
Feel this weight of sin
Hammer it away
Die - with the guilt
Of a thousand AWOL soldiers
Die - watch the scythe usher me astray

I can't go on this way
Not as I am today
The ugly sight of me is strong
Take aim a loaded gun
Pull back on all who run
A coward's truth inside the wrong

This means war (3x)

Lash your tongue of bane
Carry me to nowhere
Mental holocaust
Battle never ends
Lie - Mask the pain
Of a child who's forsaken
Lie - to my self
Praise the new regime

I left me long ago
Reasons you'll never know
No one to miss me when I'm gone
With no more words to say
No argument to stay
Another post I don't belong

This means war (5x)

No home to call my own
No finding someone new
No one to break the fall
No one to see me through
No name to carry on
No promise for today
No one to hear the call
No tattered flag to raise

Walk the razor's edge
Cut into the madness
Question all you trust
Buy into the fear
I - see the man
Ripping at my soul now
I - I know the man
I know him all too well

There's nothing here for free
Lost who I wanna be
My serpent blood can strike so cold
On any given day
I'll take it all away
Another thought I can't control

This means war (5x)

Avenged Sevenfold - St. James lyrics

St. James lyrics

This is the story of a man,Who conquered life drink in hand
Ship unmanned.
Marked by genius, channelled good, By some a bit misunderstood.
They'd been wrong many times before

Some times our saints are sinners,
They blur the lines and lead the way,
Their Way.
Raise hell and a glass in reverence,
The fearless lives of our great saints - our saints.

Never a stranger to late night snake bite fist fights and empty pints,
Unrivaled heights.
He led with songs, they sang along, created bonds that held so strong
Some were right and some were wrong

Some times our saints are sinners,
They blur the lines and lead the way,
Their Way.
Raise hell and a glass in reverence,
The fearless lives of our great saints - our saints.

(Solo)

It's by the sea and at nights end that's when the sin and swill begin
That's when he had that certain light inside his head
For every whisper he would scream for every drought he shared a drink
For every sorrow there is a light from our St. James

On the sea by the cliff he watches, he waits the night to see
The day - his way
Last call will find us all
But there's a light that leads the way, our way.

Some times our saints are sinners,
They blur the lines and lead the way,
Their Way.
Raise hell and a glass in reverence,
The fearless lives of our great saints - our saints.

Avenged Sevenfold - Requiem lyrics

Requiem lyrics

(Latin chanting)
Prodigia comploratus
Silens, oro
Regnet exitium.


Days of warning
Night brings morning
My prayers worthless
Heaven is burning down

I walk stricken
Pitch black vision
Oh One, save me
Caress my weary eyes

Darkest Lord
Your mercy shall I gain
Strike the match
Engulf the earth in flames

In flames (x3)

Nature quaking
Prophets aching
I kneel faithful
Damnation cracks the sky

My heart fiction
Superstition
Your grace deathless
Give life to my last breath

Darkest Lord
Your mercy shall I gain
Strike the match
Engulf the earth in flames

In flames (x3)

Rise from ashes
Violence clashes my soul vacant
Cleanse me of all this sin

I stand guilty
I bleed filthy
Born of fire
Savor this final hour

Darkest Lord
Your mercy shall I gain
Strike the match
Engulf the earth in flames

Avenged Sevenfold - Planets lyrics

Planets lyrics

Godless - meteoric war
​Anger - our existence nevermore
​You awoke the giants who were dormant in the sky
​Comets reigning death from a fiery eye
​
​Mother of all
Your time is coming
​One with eternity
​When planets collide
​Planets collide
​
​Damage - galaxy destruct
​Endless - celestial orbit corrupt
​You will be forgotten like the others lost in time
​Dead civilization left behind
​
​Mother of all
Your time is coming
One with eternity
When planets collide
Planets collide

Take heed the violent march is closing in
​You can't defeat them on your own
​Weapons are loaded for the final stand
​And they're all aimed at you from heaven
​
​Planets collide (4x)
​
​You will be forgotten like the others lost in time
Dead civilization left behind
​
​Mother of all
Your time is coming
One with eternity
When planets collide
Planets collide

Avenged Sevenfold - Heretic lyrics

Heretic lyrics

As they search for blood

all eyes descend on one.

Honest man in chains
but that don’t matter anyway.
My judgement day.

My flesh will feed the demon
no trial, no case for reason.
I been chosen to pay with my life.
Mad men define what mad is,
turning witches and saints to ashes.
Rising masses marching to taste
Heretic blood.

Impose your will on me,
‘til fire sets me free.
The flames of hell burn bright,
my fate decided by their lies.
Final demise.

My flesh will feed the demon
no trial, no case for reason.
I been chosen to pay with my life.
Mad men define what mad is,
turning witches and saints to ashes.
Rising masses marching to taste
Heretic blood.


Please don’t leave me,
please don’t leave me like this.
I’ve walked a fragile line
and I’ve fallen down.
Please don’t leave me like this.

My flesh will feed the demon
no trial, no case for reason.
I been chosen to pay with my life.
Mad men define what mad is,
turning witches and saints to ashes.
Rising masses marching to taste
Heretic blood.

Avenged Sevenfold - Hail To The King lyrics

Hail To The King lyrics

Watch your tongue or have it cut from your head
Save your life by keeping whispers unsaid
Children roam the streets now orphans of war
Bodies hanging in the streets to adore

Royal fames will carve a path in chaos,
Bringing daylight to the night
Death is riding into town with armor,
They've come to take all your rights

Hail to the king
Hail to the one
Kneel to the crown
Stand in the sun
Hail to the king

Blood is spilt while holding keys to the throne
Born again but it's too late to atone
No mercy - from the edge of the blade
Dare escape and learn the price to be paid

Let the water flow with shades of red now
Arrows black out all the light
Death is riding into town with armour
They've come to grant you your rights

Hail to the king
Hail to the one
Kneel to the crown
Stand in the sun
Hail to the king

(Guitar Solo)

There's a taste of fear
When the henchmen call
Iron fist to tame the land
Iron fist to claim it all

Hail to the king
Hail to the one
Kneel to the crown
Stand in the sun

Hail to the king
Hail to thw one
Kneel to the crown
Stand in the sun

Hail to the king

Avenged Sefenvold - Crimson Day lyrics

Crimson Day lyrics

Dark years, brought endless rain
Out in the cold I lost my way
But storms won't* last, they clear the air
for something new
The sun came out and brought you through

A lifetime full of words to say,
a hope that time will slow the passing day

I've been wrong times over
And I've been shamed, with no words to find
But if the sun will rise
Bring us tomorrow
Walk with me crimson day

Don't speak, no use for words
Lie in my arms, sleep secure
I wonder what you're dreaming of,
lands rare and far
A timeless flight to reach the stars

A lifetime full of words to say,
a hope that time will slow the passing day

I've been wrong times over
And I've been shamed with no words to find
But if the sun will rise
Bring us tomorrow
Walk with me crimson day

I've come so far to meet you here,
To share this life with one I hold so dear
And I won't speak but what is true,
the world outside created just for you
it's for you, for you

I've been wrong times over
And I've been shamed with no words to find
But if the sun will rise
Bring us tomorrow
Walk with me crimson day

Avenged Sefenvold - Coming Home lyrics

Coming Home lyrics

I've been away
Searching for a reason
Another purpose to find
I've sailed the seas
Fought my many demons
I've looked to gods in the skies

I've stood in hell
Where many had to suffer
I stared the devil in the eyes

Walked many roads
To witness ancient idols
And found the great Gates of fire

Had many storms
Question my conviction
Gave armies reason to rise

The hangman's searching
For bones he can borrow
while I escaped in the night
Final plight

Live again
I won't sin
I'll be coming home
Tend your light
Cause on this night
I'll be coming home

Escape the hell
Of capitulated mortals
And drink the blood of a king
A desert rain
has washed away direction
Had angels looking after me
So it seems

Live again
I won't sin
I'll be coming home
Tend your light
Cause on this night
I'll be coming home

(Guitar Solo)

My story ends
Not far from where it started
My weary limbs have grown old
I've seen the world
Through the eyes of a nomad
Home is where the heart is
I've been told
So I go

Live again
I won't sin
I'll be coming home
Tend your light
Cause on this night
I'll be coming home

I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
(Guitar Fade out)

Avenged Sefenvold - Acid Rain lyrics

Acid Rain lyrics

Our day has come
It's drawn in the sky
So don't shed a tear now
Be thankful for the time

Life wouldn't be so precious dear
If there never was an end

Children still play in the garden
Dance as the sun slips away

We stand on the edge now
We've come so far
(And) through all the dust it becomes clear
You have always been my heart

There's no death, no end of time
When I'm facing it with you

Children still play in the garden
Dance as the sun slips away
Not even stars last forever
Cleanse us acid rain

Stand near to me
Don't look, be brave
Over the blackened moon
I'll carry you away
Through the planets we fly

Children still play in the garden
Dance as the sun slips away
Not even stars last forever
Cleanse us acid rain

Send us home (4x)

Avenged Sevenfold - Shepherd Of Fire

1. Shepherd Of Fire

Let's take a moment and break the ice
So my intentions are known
See, I have pity in watching you suffer
I know the feeling of being damned alone
I've got a story book of my own

Don't you see I am your pride?
Agent of wealth,
Bearer of needs
And you know it's right
I am your war
Arming the strong,
Aiding the weak
Know me by name:
"Shepherd of fire"

Well I can promise you paradise
No need to serve on your knees
And when you're lost in the darkest of hours
Take a moment and tell me who you see
Won't tell you who not to be

Now you know I am your pride
Agent of wealth
Bearer of needs
And you know it's right
I am your war
Arming the strong,
Aiding the weak
Know me by name:
"Shepherd of fire"

Disciple of the cross and champion in suffering.
Immerse yourself into the kingdom of redemption.
Pardon your mind from the chains of the divine.
Make way the shepherd of fire.

Through the ages of time
I've been known for my hate
But I'm a giver of simple choices.
For me it's never too late

I am your pride
Agent of wealth
Bearer of needs
And you know it's right
I am your war
Arming the strong,
Aiding the weak

I am your wrath
I am your guilt
I am your lust
And you know it's right
I am your law
I am your scar
I am your trust

Know me by name:
"Shepherd of fire"
