(this song is dedicated to those who died for my freedom, the ones you love to hate)

Staring at the carnage
Praying that the sun would never rise
Living another day in disguise

These feelings can’t be right
Lend me your courage
To stand up and fight on tonight

Ooh, stand up and fight

The fighting rages on and on…to challenge me, you must be strong
I walk your land, but don’t belong…two million soldiers can’t be wrong

It’s 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
Take this from my consciousness, and please erase my dreams

Fight for honor, fight for your life
Pray to God that our side is right
Even though we won, I still may lose
Until I make it home to you
I see our mothers filled with tears
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 lives so they can’t take mine
Scared to make it out alive, now murder’s all I know

Nobody tells me all the reasons we’re here
I have my weapons, 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
Even though we won, I still may lose
Until I make it home to you
I see our mothers filled with tears
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 would never rise
Living another day in disguise
These feelings can’t be right
Lend me your courage to stand up and fight

Watching the death toll rise
Wondering how I’m alive!
Stranger’s blood on my hands
I’ve shot all I can
There are 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

Oh-oh, oh oh, oh-oh-oh

Walk the city lonely
Memories that haunt are passing by
A murderer walks your street tonight

Forgive me for my crimes
Don’t forget that I was so young
Fought so scared in the name of God and country

Avenged Sevenfold - M.I.A.

Take the time just to listen
When the voices screaming are much too loud
Take a look in the distance
Try and see it all

Chances are that ya might find
That we share a common discomfort now
I feel I’m walking a fine line
Tell me only if it’s real

Still, I’m on my way
On and on it goes
Vacant hope to take

Hey! I can’t live in here for another day
Darkness has kept the light concealed
Grim as ever
Hold onto faith as I dig another grave
Meanwhile, the mice endure the wheel
Real as ever
And it seems I’ve been Buried Alive!

I walked the fields through the fire
Taking steps until I found solid ground
Followed dreams reaching higher
Couldn’t survive the fall

Much has changed since the last time
And I feel a little less certain now
You know, I jumped at the first sign
Tell me only if it’s real

Memories seem to fade
On and on it goes
Wash my view away

Hey! I can’t live in here for another day
Darkness has kept the light concealed
Grim as ever
Hold onto faith as I dig another grave
Meanwhile, the mice endure the wheel
Real as ever
And I’m chained like a slave
Trapped in the dark
Slammed all the locks
Death calls my name
And it seems I’ve been Buried Alive!

Take you down now
Burn it all out
Throw you all around
Get your fucking hands off me!

What’s it feel like?
Took the wrong route
Watch it fall apart
Now you’re knockin’ at the wrong gate!

For you to pay the toll
A price for you alone
The only deal you’ll find
I’ll gladly take your soul

While it seems sick
Sober up quick
Psycho lunatic
Crushing you with hands of fate!

Shame to find out
When it’s too late
But you’re all the same
Trapped inside, inferno awaits!

Evil thoughts can hide
I’ll help release the mind
I’ll peel away the skin
Release the dark within

This is now your life
Strike you from the light
This is now your life
Die Buried Alive

This is now your life…What’s it feel like?
Strike you from the light
This is now your life…What’s it feel like?
Die Buried Alive

This is now your life
Die Buried Alive!

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 could never design

Our love had been so strong for far too long
I was weak with fear that something would go wrong
Before the possibility came true
I took all possibility from you!
Almost laughed myself to tears…Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Conjuring her deepest fears…Come here, you fucking b*tch!

Must have stabbed her fifty-fucking-times!
I can’t believe it!
Ripped her heart out right before his 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

And it goes on and on and on!
I can keep you…young and preserved forever
With a fountain sprayed on your youth whenever!

‘Cuz I never really 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

You had my heart
At least for the most part
‘Cuz everybody’s gotta die sometime
We fell apart
So let’s make a new start
‘Cuz everybody’s gotta die sometime, yeah yeah!
But, baby, don’t cry

Possibilities I’ve never considered
Are occurring the likes of which I’ve never heard
Now her angry soul comes back from beyond the grave
To repossess her body, with which I’ve misbehaved!
Smiling right from here to here
Almost laughed herself to tears

Must have stabbed him fifty-fucking-times!
I can’t believe it!
Ripped his heart out right before…her 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

Well, I gotta make up for what I’ve done!
While I was all up in A Piece of Heaven!
…You burned in Hell, no peace forever!

I never really knew that my little crime
Would be cold, that’s why I got a heater for your thighs
And I know, yes, I know it’s not your time!
And a word to the wise
When the fire dies
You think it’s over, but it’s just begun!
Now, baby, don’t cry

You had my heart
At least for the most part
‘Cuz everybody’s gotta die sometime
We fell apart
So let’s make a new start! Whoa-oh-oh! Oh, oh oh!
‘Cuz everybody’s gotta die sometime, yeah yeah!
My baby, don’t cry!

I will suffer for so long…to make it up to you…
What will you do? Not long enough! 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…not enough…
Well, it’s not enough, so try again, and again!
Not enough…try again…and again!
Over and over again!

We’re coming back, coming back
…Live forever, live forever!
Let’s have a wedding, have a wedding!
Let’s start the killing, start the killing!

Do you take this man in death for the rest of your natural life?
Yes, I do
Do you take this woman in death for the rest of your natural life?
Hell, yeah!

‘Cuz I never really 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

You had my heart
At least for the most part
‘Cuz everybody’s gotta die sometime
We fell apart
So let’s make a new start! Whoa-oh-oh! Oh, oh oh!
‘Cuz everybody’s gotta die sometime, yeah yeah!
But, baby, don’t cry!

Avenged Sevenfold - A Little Piece of Heaven [live]

(see what I mean? Bible + metal = epic)

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 its head
Symbolic woman sits on his throne
But he just 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 filth bird and makes us drink
The poisoned wine to fornicate it with our kings
Fallen now is Babylon the Great

The city dressed in jewels and gold
Fine linen, myrrh and pearls
Her plagues will 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 filth bird and makes us drink
The poisoned wine to fornicate it 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 fairy-tales
And no one wants to go to Hell
You’ve made the wrong decision
And it’s easy to see

Now if you want to 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 filth bird and makes us drink
The poisoned wine to fornicate it 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 filth bird, that makes us drink
The poisoned wine to fornicate it with our kings
Fallen now is Babylon the Great

Avenged Sevenfold - Beast and the Harlot [video]

(if you think this song is about you, you’re probably right)

Shh, quiet, might piss somebody off!
Like me motherfucker, you’ve been at it for too long.
While you feed off all those 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 man
Broken glass, your fake reflection

I’ve had enough, it’s time for something real!
Don’t respect the words your speaking
Gone too far!
A clone!

So, how does it feel to know that someones 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 waved high in the air towards all those pompous assholes who spend their days pointing fingers.

Fuck you!

Shh, quiet, might piss somebody off!
Like the heartbeat of this country when antagonized too long
…Damned if you count me in as part of your generous hypocrisy; collected enemies.

Tabloid gossip we want less real
There’s no need for us to bury you
Selfish agenda, once again
Right this way, you dug your own grave

I’ve had enough, it’s time for something real!
Don’t respect the words your 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 elections.
You never contributed a fucking thing to this country you love to criticize!

Ignore the obscene
Ignore the untrue
Depictions we see
Try and get through
And many mistakes can hurt
I’m not the last, and I sure ain’t the first!

Self righteousness is wearing thin
Lies inside your head, your best friend
Heart bleeds but not for fellow man
Broken glass, your fake reflection

I’ve had enough, it’s time for something real!
Don’t respect the words your speaking
Gone too far!
A clone!

Shh, quiet! You might piss somebody off!
