Nightmare Lyrics. By Avenged Sevenfold

Nightmare
(Now your nightmare comes to life)

Dragged you down below
Down to the devil’s show
To be his guest forever
(Peace of mind is less than never)
Hate to twist your mind
But God ain’t on your side
An old acquaintance severed
(Burn the world your last endeavor)

Flesh is burning, you can smell it in the air
'Cause men like you have such an easy soul to steal (steal)
So stand in line while they ink numbers in your head
You’re now a slave until the end of time here
Nothing stops the madness turning, haunting, yearning, pull the trigger

You should have known
The price of evil
And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah
Ooooh
It’s your fuckin’ nightmare
(While your nightmare comes to life)

Can’t wake up in sweat
'Cause it ain’t over yet
Still dancin' with your demons
(Victim of your own creation)
Beyond the will to fight
Where all that’s wrong is right
Where hate don’t need a reason
(Loathing self-assassination)

You’ve been lied to just to rape you of your sight
And now they have the nerve to tell you how to feel (feel)
So sedated as they medicate your brain
And while you slowly go insane they tell ya
"Given with the best intentions,
Help you with your complications"

You should have known
The price of evil
And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah
No one to call
Everybody to fear
Your tragic fate is looking so clear, yeah
Ooooh
It’s your fuckin’ nightmare
Hahahaha

(Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha)

Fight (fight)
Not to fail (fail)
Not to fall (fall)
Or you’ll end up like the others
Die (die)
Die again (die)
Drenched in sin (sin)
With no respect for another

Oh

Down (down)
Feel the fire (fire)
Feel the hate (hate)
Your pain is what we desire
Lost (lost)
Hit the wall (wall)
Watch you crawl (crawl)
Such a replaceable liar

And I know you hear their voices
(Calling from above)
And I know they may seem real
(These signals of love)
But our life’s made up of choices
(Some without appeal)
They took for granted your soul
And it’s ours now to steal
(As your nightmare comes to life)

You should have known
The price of evil
And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah
No one to call
Everybody to fear
Your tragic fate is looking so clear, yeah
Ooooh
It’s your fuckin’ nightmare

Little Piece Of Heaven. By Avenged Sevenfold

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 

Our love had been so strong for far too long

I was weak with fear that something would go wrong

Before the possibilities came true, I took all possibility from you 

Almost laughed myself to tears, conjuring her deepest fears 

(Come here you fucking bitch)

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 sleeping

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

It goes on and on and on 

I can keep you looking young and preserved forever

With a fountain to spray on your youth whenever 

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 

You had my heart, at least for the most part 

Cause everybody's gotta die sometime, we fell apart 

Let's make a new start 

Cause everybody's gotta die sometime yeah 

But baby don't cry 

Now possibilities I'd never considered

Are occurring 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'd misbehaved 

Smiling right from ear to ear 

Almost laughed herself to tears 

Must have stabbed him fifty fucking times, I can't believe it 

Ripped his heart out right before his eyes, eyes over easy 

Eat it, eat it, eat 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 

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 

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 

You had my heart, at least for the most part 

Cause everybody's gotta die sometime, we fell apart 

Let's make a new start 

Cause everybody's gotta die sometime yeah yeah

But baby don't cry 

I will suffer for so long (What will you do, 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 (If it's not enough, it's not enough) 

If it's not enough (Not enough) 

Try again (Try again) 

And again (And again) 

Over and over again 

We're coming back, coming back 

We'll live forever, live forever 

Let's have wedding, have a wedding 

Let's start the killing, start the killing 

(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...)

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 

You had my heart, at least for the most part 

Cause everybody's gotta die sometime, we fell apart 

Let's make a new start 

Cause everybody's gotta die sometime yeah 

But baby don't cry

MIA. By Avenged Sevenfold

Staring at the carnage, praying that the sun will never rise.
Living another day in disguise.
These feelings cant be right, lend me your courage to stand up and fight, on tonight.

Ooooo....
Stand up and fight.


Our fighting rages on and on, to challenge me you must be strong.
I walk your land but don't belong, two million soldiers cant be wrong.

Its no fun but I've been here before.
I'm far from home and I'm fighting your war.
(Not the way I pictured this, I wanted better things)
Some are scared others killing for fun, I shot a mother right in front of her son.
(Change this from my consciousness and please erase my dreams)

Fight for honor, fight for your life.
Pray to god that our side is right.
though we won we still may lose, until I make it home to you.
I see your mother still in tears we grew up so fast where did those years go.
Memories wont let you cry unless I don't return tonight.

So many soldiers on the other side, I take their live so they can't take mine.
(Scared to make it out alive now murders all I know.)
Nobody tells me all the reasons were here, I have my weapon so there's nothing to fear.
(Another day another life but nothing real to show for.)

Fight for honor, fight for your life.
Pray to god that our side is right.
though we won i still may lose, until i make it home to you.
I see your mother still in tears we grew up so fast where did those years go.
Memories wont let you cry unless I don't return tonight.

Staring at the carnage, praying that the sun will never rise.
Living another day in disguise.
These feelings cant be right, lend me your courage to stand up and fight.

Watching the death toll rise wondering how im alive.
Strangers blood on my hands, shot all I can.
There were no silent nights watching your brothers all die
To destroy all their plans with no thought of me. (No thought of me)
No thought of me.

Ohhhhh.....

We'll walk the city lonely, memories that haunt are passing by.
A murderer walks your streets tonight.
Forgive me for my crimes.
Don't forget that I was so young, faught so scared.
In the name of God and Country.

AVENGED SEVENFOLD LYRICS

"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 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 the 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

Seize The Day. By Avenged Sevenfold

 Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost 

It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over 

I see my vision burn

I feel my memories fade with time 

But I'm too young to worry 

These streets we travel on will undergo our same lost past 

I found you here, now please just stay for a while 

I can move on with you around 

I hand you my mortal life, but will it be forever? 

I'd do anything for a smile, holding you till our time is done 

We both know the day will come, but I don't want to leave you 

I see my vision burn

I feel my memories fade with time 

But I'm too young to worry

A melody, a memory, or just one picture

Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost 

It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over 

Newborn life replacing all of us, changing this fable we live in 

No longer needed here so where do we go? 

Will you take a journey tonight, follow me past the walls of death? 

But girl, what if there is no eternal life? 

I see my vision burn

I feel my memories fade with time 

But I'm too young to worry

A melody, a memory, or just one picture

Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost 

Its empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over 

Trails in life, questions of us existing here

Don't wanna die alone without you here 

Please tell me what we have is real 

So what if I never hold you near? Or kiss your lips again? 

So I never want to leave you and the memories of us to see 

I beg don't leave me 

Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost 

It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over 

Trials in life, questions of us existing here

Don't wanna die alone without you there 

Please tell me what we have is real 

Silence you lost me, no chance for one more day

Silence you lost me, no chance for one more day

(Silence you lost me, no chance for one more day)

I stand here alone 

Falling away from you, no chance to get back home 

AVENGED SEVENFOLD LYRICS

"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

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 trie-ie-ied 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.

[Chorus:]
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 Ie-ie-ie 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 follows me; show me what it's like to be set free.

[Chorus]

So 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.

[Chorus]

So sorry your 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 can follow me I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die.

Beast And The Harlot Lyrics
Artist(Band):Avenged Sevenfold

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 with pearls.
Her plagues have come all at once as her 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.

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 LYRICS
"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 hoped 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.
(Who are you? I'm broken, 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.)

[Screaming and maniacal laughter]

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 hoped you might,
Take me back inside when the time is right.
