Avenged Sevenfold:Nightmare "Lyrics"

2010-09-06T03:32:00.000-07:00

This song is performed by Avenged Sevenfold.

Nightmare!

(Now your nightmare comes to life)

Dragged ya 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.

So stand in line while they ink numbers in your head,
You're now a slave until the end of time,
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 dancing 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.
So sedated as they medicate your brain and while ya slowly go insane the tell ya:
"Given with your 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, ha-ha-ha-ha!

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.

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!

Avenged Sevenfold’s “Nightmare” starts to leak online

So far we have 2 singles from A7X’s upcoming studio album “Nightmare” – Nightmare and Buried Alive. Several other tracks are being uploaded to YouTube but unfortunately, Warner Music Group are doing what they do best – removing them due to copyright infringement. So for those who simply cannot wait til Monday/Tuesday for the rest of the album, you might wanna check out THIS SITE. It is currently streaming a new song from the album every week day until the album’s release. Two new tracks (So Far Away & Welcome To The Family) are available right now. They’re not available for download, but you can find them on miscellaneous file hosting sites if you look hard enough. I won’t tell you what they are so I won’t get in trouble, but it took me about 15 seconds to find them. So it isn’t that difficult.

The Rev would be proud.

EDIT: For UK residents, some extra tracks are being played exclusively on Kerrang! Radio right now – http://radioplayer.kerrangradio.co.uk/

EDIT 2: The album has now officially leaked on several torrent sites due it being released in Austria and Switzerland.

lyrics Critical Aclaim - Avenged Sevenfold

2010-02-28T05:38:00.000-08:00

Shhh… 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

Self-righteousness is wearing thin
(Lies inside your head, your best friend)
I'll bleed but not for fellow men
(Broken glass, your fake reflection)

Telling them it's all for something real
Don't respect the words you're speaking
Gone too far
Acclaim

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 a lifestyle
that insults his family's existence
Well, where I come from we have a special
salute waved high in the air
to all those pompous assholes
who spend their days pointing fingers
(Fuck You)

Shhh… quiet you might piss somebody off
Like the heartbeat of this country when antagonized too long
I'll be damned if you count me in as part of your generous hypocrisy
collected and amazed

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

Telling them it's all for something real
Don't respect the words you're speaking
Gone too far
Acclaim

All the way from the east to the west we've
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 and blaming their
own nation for who wins elections
They've never contributed a fucking thing to the
country they love to criticize

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

Shhh… quiet you might piss somebody off

Self-righteousness is wearing thin
(Lies inside your head your best friend)
Heart bleeds but not for fellow men
(Broken glass your fake reflection)

Telling them it's all for something real
Don't respect the words you're speaking
Gone too far

Avenged Sevenfold - Brompton Cocktail Lyrics

2010-01-22T05:22:00.000-08:00

(Out of time...)
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

'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 gotta be so strong
in a lie...

I'm tired, induced euphoria (induced euphoria)
to help me move along (help me move along)
I wanna 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

'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 gotta be so strong
And I take my life tonight 'cause I have the right to die how I wanna
and leave how I arrived, so alive

I believe my sins they'll be forgiven
and I believe my choice will save me from this life
please don't question why
my sins they'll be forgotten
I believe I'll find peace in afterlife
please don't question why
I left this way

'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 gotta be so strong
And I take my life tonight 'cause I have the right to die how I wanna
and leave how I arrived, so alive
(Alive)

AVENGED SEVENFOLD LYRICS - M.I.A.

2009-12-14T20:41:00.000-08:00

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.

Now fighting rages on and on, to challenge me you must be strong.
I'll 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 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.
You know we won but still we 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 don't take mine.
(Scared to make it out alive now murders all I know.)
Nobody tells me all the reasons were here, I am a 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.
You know we won but still we 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 won't 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, showed all I can.
There were no sunny 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 are not passing by.
A murderer walks your streets tonight.
Forgive me for my crimes.
Don't forget that I was so young, but so scared.
In the name of God and Country.

He who makes a beast out of himselfGets rid of the pain of being a manCaught here in a fiery blaze, won't lose my will to stayI tried to drive all through the nightThe heat stroke ridden weather, the barren empty sightsNo oasis here to seeThe sand is singing deathless words to meCan't you help me? As I'm startin' to burn(All alone)Too many doses and I'm starting to get an attractionMy confidence is leaving me on my own(All alone)No one can save me and you know I don't want the attentionAs I adjust to my new sightsThe rarely tired lights will take me to new heightsMy hand is on the trigger I'm ready to igniteTomorrow might not make it but everything's all rightMental fiction follow meShow me what it's like to be set freeCan't you help me? As I'm startin' to burn(All alone)Too many doses and I'm starting to get an attractionMy confidence is leaving me on my own(All alone)No one can save me and you know I don't want the attentionI'm sorry you're not hereI've been sane too long my vision's so unclearNow take a trip with meBut don't be surprised when things aren't what they seemCaught here in a fiery blaze, won't lose my will to stayThese eyes won't see the same, after I flip todaySometimes I don't know why we'd rather live than dieWe look up towards the sky for answers to our livesWe may get some solutions but most just pass us byDon't want your absolution 'cause I can't make it rightI'll make a beast out of myselfGets rid of all the pain of being a manCan't you help me? As I'm startin' to burn(All alone)Too many doses and I'm starting to get an attractionMy confidence is leaving me on my own(All alone)No one can save me and you know I don't want the attentionI'm sorry you're not hereI've been sane too long my vision's so unclearNow take a trip with meBut don't be surprised when things aren't what they seemI've known it from the startAll these good ideas will tear your brain apartScared but you, you follow meI'm too weird to live but much too rare to die

Avenged Seven - Almost Easy (Live) KERRANG! EXCLUSIVE

2009-07-25T04:10:00.000-07:00

I feel insane every single timeI'm asked to compromiseCause I'm afraid and stuck in my waysAnd that's the way it staysSo 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 insaneI'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 heartFrom the things I've done to youIt's hard to face, but the fact remainsThat this is nothing new
I left you bound and tied with suicidal memoriesSelfish beneath the skinBut 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 HaI'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

Avenged Sevenfold - Dancing Dead Video & Lyrics

2009-07-18T18:09:00.000-07:00

Dead men, They celebrate As the final chapter Fades away Cuz they can't hide; We can see their flesh is rotten! The band plays a hopeful tune The champagne is poured As they socialize The look in their eyes Hide in the light! Everything is paid for tonight While at the party of the Dead dancin in their graves The drinks here are free So relax Enjoy the sight of all the Dead dancin in their graves And while the world that they built Told 'em to change Told 'em to listen They just kept it the same And now that midnight has come I'll get a room watchin the Dead dancin in their graves Bones covered up by suit As the visible scars, They multiply Kiss it good-bye Too stubborn and I'll destroy! Tick, tock The time bomb has been Recognized and pressurized Nowhere to hide Swallowing light! Everything is paid for tonight While at the party of the Dead dancin in their graves The drinks here are free So relax Enjoy the sight of all the Dead dancin in their graves And while the world that they built Told 'em to change Told 'em to listen They just kept it the same And now that midnight has come I'll get a room watchin the Dead dancin in their graves Feel a coming strength And now it's too late To change.

Avenged Sevenfold-Strength of The World Lyrics

2009-07-14T04:33:00.000-07:00

My story starts the day they said "she can't be found"the news so dark, heart stopped, I stood silent without a soundIt's over, she's finished, mother lies with my father and sister tooCold-blooded, they suffered, shot down by the outlaws after youSorrow swallows my screamsStrength of the world - is on my shouldersStrength of the world - is on my sideStrength of the world - the one true beholderIce in my veins - for those who've diedI've seen my family fade away, you've taken my whole lifeThere's nothing left to sayAvenge the dead kill all who cross me in my pathSuicidal, I never planned on coming backI want it, I need it, revenge is dripping from my teethNeed nothin', to feel power, and bring the killers to their kneesNothin' ta lose vengeance ta gain (you know I'll never be the same)So taste my breath I'm close behind you (so desperate on your final day)Sorrow swallows my screamsSitting in silence with heaven above me I prayed every night by their gravesWhile I thirst for closure I feel it grow strongerI can't turn my cheek awayI stand before you; I'll sin when I have toBut now I leave your side, to avenge my family's prideSo far forever alone, a greater punishment on me has been imposedA killer falling from the light, I'll miss you my family, I'll never be alright

Avenged Sevenfold - Warmness On The Soul Lyrics

2009-07-01T02:21:00.000-07:00

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.
(oh-oh-oh)

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 loves 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.
(Woh-oh-oh)

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 loves 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.
(Woh-oh-oh)

I give my heart to you.
I give my heart, cause nothing can compare in this world to you.
(Woh-oh-oh)

Avenged Sevenfold - Seize The Day Lyrics

2009-06-29T21:38:00.000-07:00

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's streets we traveled 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'll do anything for a smile, holding you 'til 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
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 here
Please tell me what we have is real

(guitar solo)

So what if I never hold you, yeah, or kiss your lips again? Whooooah
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 here
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)
(I stand here alone
Falling away from you, no chance to get back home) x2

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

Avenged Sevenfold

2009-05-19T03:34:00.000-07:00

Avenged Sevenfold is an American rock band from Huntington Beach, California, formed in 1999. The band has achieved mainstream success with their 2005 album City of Evil, which included singles such as "Burn It Down", "Bat Country," "Beast and the Harlot" and "Seize the Day." The band's success followed with their self-titled album, with singles such as "Critical Acclaim", "Almost Easy", "Afterlife", "Scream", and "Dear God".

Band history

Inception (1999-2004)

The band was formed in 1999 in Huntington Beach, California with original members M Shadows, Zacky Vengeance, The Rev, and Matt Wendt. M Shadows came up with the name as a reference to the story of Cain and Abel from The Bible, although it is not a religious band.^[1] Upon its formation, each member of the band also took on a pseudonym which were already nicknames of theirs from high school.^[2] The band released two demos in the years 1999 and 2000. Avenged Sevenfold's debut album, Sounding the Seventh Trumpet, was recorded when the band members were just eighteen years old and in high school. It was originally released on their first label, Good Life Recordings in 2001. After lead guitarist Synyster Gates joined the band, the introductory track "To End The Rapture" was re-recorded featuring a full band element. The album was subsequently re-released on Hopeless Records in 2002.

The band started to receive recognition, sharing the stage with metal acts like Mushroomhead and Shadows Fall and playing on the Take Action Tour.^[3]^[4] Having settled on their fourth bassist, Johnny Christ, they released Waking the Fallen on Hopeless Record in August 2003. The band received profiles in Billboard and The Boston Globe, and played in the Vans Warped Tour.^[5]^[6]^[7] In 2004, Avenged Sevenfold toured again on the Vans Warped Tour and recorded a video for their song "Unholy Confessions" which went into rotation on MTV2's Headbanger's Ball.^[8] Shortly after the release of Waking the Fallen, Avenged Sevenfold was signed to Warner Bros. Records.

City of Evil (2005–2007)

City of Evil, the band's third album, was released on June 7, 2005 and debuted at #30 on the Billboard Top 200 selling over 30,000 copies.^[9]^[10] It utilized a more epic, classic metal sound than Avenged Sevenfold's previous albums, which had been grouped into the metalcore genre.^[11]^[12] The album is also notable for the absence of screaming vocals; M. Shadows worked with vocal coach Ron Anderson -- whose clients have included Axl Rose and Chris Cornell -- for months before the album's release to achieve a sound that had "grit while still having the tone.^[13]^[11]

They returned to the Vans Warped Tour, this time headlining, and then continued on their own "Cities of Evil Tour."^[14] In addition, their lead single "Bat Country" reached #2 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Charts, #6 on Billboard's Modern Rock Charts, and the accompanying video made it to #1 on MTV's Total Request Live.^[15] Propelled by this success, the album sold well and became Avenged Sevenfold's first gold record. They would go onto win "Best New Artist" at MTV's Video Music Awards, beating out artists like Rihanna, Panic at the Disco, and Chris Brown.^[16]

Self-titled album (2007-2008)

Avenged Sevenfold's mainstream success got them an invitation to 2006's Ozzfest tour on the main stage, alongside other well known hard rock and heavy metal acts DragonForce, Lacuna Coil, Hatebreed, Disturbed, and System of a Down.^[17] That same year they also completed a worldwide tour, including the US, The United Kingdom (as well as mainland Europe), Japan, Australia and New Zealand. After being on tour for sixteen months in promotion of City of Evil, the band announced that they were cancelling their Fall 2006 tour in favor of recording new music.^[18] M. Shadows stated that their fourth studio album -- which the band self-titled and self-produced -- would not be a "City of Evil Part 2" or "Waking the Fallen Part 2," but would incorporate a new, grittier sound.^[18]^[19] To tide the fans over in between albums, the band released their first DVD titled All Excess on July 17, 2007.^[20] All Excess, which debuted as the #1 DVD in the USA, included live performances and backstage footage that spanned the band's eight year career. Two tribute albums, Strung Out on Avenged Sevenfold: Bat Wings and Broken Strings, and Strung Out on Avenged Sevenfold: The String Tribute were also released in October 2007.

Avenged Sevenfold, the band's fourth album, was released on October 30, 2007, debuting at #4 on the Billboard 200 with over 90,000 copies sold.^[21] Two singles, "Critical Acclaim" and "Almost Easy" were released prior to the album's debut. In December 2007, an animated video was made for "A Little Piece of Heaven." Due to the song's controversial subject matter, however, Warner Brothers only released it to registered MVI users over the internet. The third single, "Afterlife" and its video was released in January 2008. Their fourth single, "Dear God", was released on September 30, 2008. The self-titled album went onto sell over 500,000 copies and was awarded "Album of the Year" at the Kerrang! Awards.^[22]

Recent events (2008-present)

Avenged Sevenfold headlined the 2008 Taste of Chaos tour with Atreyu, Bullet for My Valentine, Blessthefall and Idiot Pilot.^[23] They used the footage from their last show in Long Beach for Live in the LBC & Diamonds in the Rough, a two-disc B-sides CD and live DVD which was released on September 16, 2008. They also recorded numerous covers, including Pantera's "Walk," Iron Maiden's "Flash of the Blade" and Black Sabbath's "Paranoid."^[23]^[24]^[25] They will also be releasing a Guitar Tutorial DVD, which include the five tracks, Afterlife, Almost Easy, Bat Country, Beast and the Harlot, and Trashed And Scattered, breaking down the guitar solos and riffs in each song.^[26]

During a sold-out festival performance in Leeds and Reading, the band were forced to shorten their Leeds performance and cancel their Reading performance due to a vocal strain sustained by M. Shadows.^[27] A few days later, the band was forced to announce the cancellation of the remaining September shows, with the tour set to resume again on October 15.^[28]

In January 2009, M. Shadows confirmed that the band is writing a follow up album to Avenged Sevenfold within the upcoming months.^[29] They also announced that they will be playing at "Rock On The Range," from May 16-17, 2009.^[30] In April, they performed a version of Guns N' Roses' "It's So Easy" onstage with Slash.^[31]

Musical characteristics

The Deathbat

The band sports a logo known as the "Deathbat". It was originally designed by an artistic high school friend of Avenged Sevenfold, Micah Montague, as seen on the bands first DVD, All Excess. The Deathbat has appeared on all of the bands album covers many of which were done by Cameron Rackam, a close friend for the band. The deathbat has developed from not just being a skull with batwings, to sometimes appear as a full "man size" skeleton with batwings, as it can be seen at the cover of City of Evil. On Sounding the Seventh Trumpet, there are pictures of two people (Presumably Cain and Abel), another angel-like human, and a semi-opaque Deathbat below it. It is also on covers of a number of singles such as "Bat Country", "Warmness on the Soul" and "Critical Acclaim."

Genre

In general, Avenged Sevenfold is classified as an important and influential band in the New Wave of American Heavy Metal (NWOAHM)^[32]. Their material spans multiple genres, and has evolved in the band's ten year career. Initially, Avenged Sevenfold's debut Sounding the Seventh Trumpet consisted almost entirely of metalcore sound; however, there were several deviations to this genre, most notably in "Streets" which adopts a punk style, and "Warmness on the Soul," which is a piano-oriented ballad.^[33] On Waking The Fallen, the band displayed a more refined and fluent metalcore album that was able to harness the rawness of the first album, and add more mature and intricate musical elements. In the band's DVD All Excess, producer Andrew Mudrock explained this transition: "When I met the band after Sounding the Seventh Trumpet had come out before they had recorded Waking the Fallen, M. Shadows said to me 'This record is screaming. The record we want to make is going to be half-screaming half-singing. I don't want to scream anymore. And the record after that is going to be all singing.'" On City of Evil, Avenged Sevenfold's third album, the band has chosen to abandon the metalcore genre, developing a more punk metal/thrash style, very much like bands such as Bullet for My Valentine and Trivium. Also, the drumming on both these albums is played in a more thrash-influenced alternative metal style, similar to that of Slipknot. Avenged Sevenfold's self-titled album, again, consists of several deviations to less consistent genres and styles from the album's main hard rock and heavy metal songs, most notably in "Dear God", which adopts a country style, and "A Little Piece of Heaven", which includes elements of Broadway show tunes, using primarily brass instruments and stringed orchestra to take over most of the role of the lead and rhythm guitar. The band has changed considerably since its first album, which since then they have been characterized as a heavy band with screams and growls combined with clean vocals that one can expect from the metalcore genre. Since the release of Live in the LBC & Diamonds in the Rough, the band has resumed screaming vocals during live shows.^[34]^[35]
