Avenged Sevenfold - This Means War Lyrics

Avenged Sevenfold – This Means War Lyrics

Hide my face again, harbor in the shadows
Feel this weight of sin hammering 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 side 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
This means war
This means war

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 myself
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
This means war
This means war
This means war
This means war

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 want to 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
This means war
This means war
This means war
This means war
