Avenged Sevenfold
Sounding The Seventh Trumpet (2001)
Waking The Fallen (2003)



Sounding The Seventh Trumpet


To End The Rapture
The wind of life and air from above smells of death. 
Angels sing of the end. 
Nothing you say and nothing you try will change time. 
Human race prepares to die...


Turn The Other Way
Slit my wrists, take away the pain. 
Slit my throat, everyone's to blame. 
Lost in the fields of confusion. 
Restless nights, they're not far away. 
I came here for something and I'm not turning back. 
A calm piece of mind but you still hold my keys. 
Keeping my fate deep within your threshold. 
Petty inconvenience but it means the world to me. 
You have the power. 
To set me free. 
Caught in your grasp, how? 
Just let me be. 
Give me control out. 
Out of these depths. 
A fiery hell. 
I pray for death. 
I've been the wrong one time and time again. 
Now I'm on my knees forgive me please. 
Tore out my heart and handed to me on a silver platter. 
Sew up the hole, emptiness in the place of compassion. 
You made me this way. 
I am the product of your creation. 
Look the other way. 
Now you've turned your back on me. 
You've turned away from me, the future's much to far away to see. 
I hope you learn the truth, not the way things were meant to be with me and you.


Darkness Surrounding
Darkness coats us. 
The smell of fall. 
Changing season. 
The graveyard is alive, black cat across my path, 
the chill of cold wind, the breath of the dead. 
Imprisoned souls. 
Trapped for eternity. 
Black crows break the silence. 
The garden of the dead s alive tonight and you can't stop it. 
Just enjoy it. 
Open up your mind and you will feel it too. 
The sound, the touch, the thoughts, that you've been so blind to. 
You can feel the thoughts of the dead. 
Feeling the thoughts of the dead. 
True or false, it's still there, teaching me. 
True or false, still there, teaching me. 
You can feel it tonight. 
The wood has rotted away. 
Take the time absorb it. 
Their time is slipping away. 
Stone all carved by hand. 
Statues that resemble their faces. 
They still breathe. 
Come join us. 
Smell the burning ember's, night flickering away. 
Timeless but soon gone. 
Timeless but soon gone. 
I can find myself, alone with just my thoughts. 
As time crumbles away. 
As I crumble away.


Art Of Subconscious Illusion
A living nightmare, asleep but still aware. 
The endless torture. 
The painless pleasure. 
I grasp myself. 
Trying to regain control. 
I experience and learn. 
In another faction of my mind. 
So confused. 
But everything makes perfect sense. 
Can't feel the pain. 
Emotional pain s so much deadlier. 
Lost, you've just been raped. 
Pain. Your friends can't help you. 
Why wont they help you? Another reality. 
This can't be happening. 
Why is this happening? 
Who the f**k are you? 
Who the f**k. Are you? 
Trying hard to figure out what s done. 
I scramble but now I run. 
The images in my head. 
All the problems that I've been fed. 
Punching slowly my mind can't change the speed. 
As my victims bleed. 
No matter what I do or how hard I try. 
I can t use my abilities. 
Use my abilities. 
Art of Illusion. 
My razor sharp knife s edge, pierces my victim's body. 
But I can't take their soul. 
Punching through jello, stabbing not killing. 
Disappointment. Discomfort.


We Come Out At Night
Black and gray clouds willow in the balance as the sun falls. 
Rain plays a heart warming tune, on the pavement. 
Emotions stir. 
A feeling of warmness, compassion, fullness, I feel at home. 
Disguised by surroundings. 
As the torn and left in the gutter seek vengeance on their mistreated lives. 
As the torn and left in the cold, seek vengeance on mistreated lives. 
A silhouette stands still. 
A cactus on a warm summer night. 
But the rain falls cold and the moon shines bright. 
Black as night. 
Cold as ice. 
Warm as home. 
Ready to live. 
Stars they shoot. 
In a clear. 
Across the sky. 
As does my time. 
Waiting, wanting, feeling, emotion. 
Crying, breaking, loving, nothing. 
Clouds swallow the moon, and I'm alone, thinking good times, and why'd they go? 
Falling down, breaking down parts of me. 
f**k. I need this place to get away from you.


Lips Of Deceit
The mark I breathe on you. 
It's burning through your soul. 
The breath I waste. 
Losing control. 
I bleed in pain. 
Testing what I know. 
Lips soaked in deceit. 
Pull me from here. 
No one s innocent. 
So why do I feel bad? 
But guilt keeps creeping, creeping up on me. 
Guilt. Tearing me up inside. 
The innocent. 
An evil in disguise. 
The face of beauty to fall for. 
I fall to my knees, deceitful. 
Brought down by feelings of regret. 
Again your mind has failed the test. 
Not everyone feels the same. 
Pacifist blinded by the game. 
Stand tall. They'll break your heart. 
Stand tall. They'll smash your ego. 
Stand tall. They'll tear you down. 
Stand tall. Scar your soul. 
Break your thought. 
f**k your mind. 
The mark I breathe on you. 
It s burning through your soul. 
The breath I waste. 
Losing control. 
I bleed in pain. 
Testing what I know. 
Lips soaked in deceit. 
Pull me from this hole.


Warmness On The Soul
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. 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.


Epic Of Time Wasted
So much time I've wasted. 
I can truly say I never thought it would come to this. 
Never would I doubt you, but the truth kept smacking me in the face. 
Reality. You never stopped to think and you ripped us apart. 
How could you? Now our time is gone but it's still breaking my heart. 
Tears run down as I think of the days we've had, and the memories will last forever, 
but you and I have died and gone our separate ways. 
You are the one. 
You are the wrong one. 
Breaking the mold. 
Going your own way. 
All I feel, betrayal. 
So much time I've wasted, and I never thought it'd come to this. 
Apology. 
We had something great, then it was washed away. 
We had something more, then I can explain. 
I'm sorry. No! We had something great, then it was washed away. 
No! Not all friendships last, the genuine are harder to take. 
No! Time to start again, hope someday you'll think of me. 
No! The end reality, I know someday I'll think of you.


Breaking Their Hold
When you see them coming in form. 
And they say they do what's best for you. 
Fighting for one total control. 
They are planned and organized for you. 
Breaking their hold. Breaking their hold of control they strive. 
To keep you down, behind your back, the time has come, the end is near. 
It's when you sleep, so late at night, and in the light, getting prepared. 
It's not to help you, but help their cause, under one system, you wont exist. 
They are the few, with all the power, our system screams, we can't let them tear our hearts out. 
Screaming, pulling on our pride. Stand together for the right cause, one system to our demise.


Forgotten Faces
Forgotten faces. 
Lost in yesterdays realm. 
Drained with confusion. 
Where did it all go? 
Look into the past, look into their faces. 
Never, the thought of being time f**ked. 
But now they're all gone and all that's left is this blank faced picture. 
Ninety percent, nothing was done, nothing accomplished, 
coasting through life didn't seize the day. 
No one ever realized that they're already dgad. 
By the time you realize, you'll be dead too. 
Without another chance to save the world, these things they're gone, your gone, forgotten. 
Now your face in my picture frame. It's gone, forever. 
Right before my very eyes. 
And just when I thought I made light of things. 
It slips away, into darkness. 
My life passes now I see. 
Just what this world does hold for me. 
It's getting hard, harder to breathe. 
Am I out of time is that what this means? 
Well that's what it means. 
That's what it means, you and me try to breathe. 
Now you. Realize. 
Your life, flies by. 
Now I. Realize. 
My life, I die.


Thick And Thin
I don't want to know. 
And I don't want to see you in this place. 
Your kind is a disgrace as I spit in your face. 
And I don't want to hear anymore. 
A friend is f**ked with while he's having fun on the dance floor. 
Get the f**k out of here now. 
Come on you kids, stand your ground. 
This is your show, it s your family. 
All of my friends there for me. 
There's four-hundred more of us then them. 
So kick them out. 
Keep it positive. 
Keep it real. Keep it true. 
Together with my friends. 
I'll be there for you. 
Through the problems thick and thin and problems we'll fight through. 
This is to my brothers, I ll be there for you. 
Through the problems thick and thin and problems we'll fight through. 
This is to my family. 
I'll be there for you.


Streets
You live your whole life staring at a wall, your mind goes blank sooner now you will fall. 
You never learned the things you say to know now, but how? 
There seems to be a difference, two different types of kids. 
The ones who go out and the ones that are taught to live. 
One groups taught how and the other group is taught why. 
There's no need to tell you what's in my mind, but in the game of life I'm doing fine. 
No reason to tell you which way to be. 
Cause the streets have opened my eyes to see. 
Look what's happening now. 
What are the reasons why and how? 
And don't you think it sounds stupid when someone's treated 
different cause they're not the same as me or you?


Shattered By Broken Dreams
I see you fading away from us. 
I'll miss you very much. 
Room with empty bottles, broken dreams, and pride still running high, always on your side. 
But I wanted more for you. 
You can't go on this way. 
And now I see it all fall through. 
We pray for better days. 
Stuck alone and scared. 
Throw your life away and now choking on your pride may be the only way. 
I don't want to see you like this. 
We all tried to save you but missed. 
I still feel the hope on your road. 
Now come back to us like the days of the old. 
I still feel you there, trying to get on top. 
You'll always have my support, in my heart. 
People you've hurt. 
Friends that you've lied to. 
But we understand, and that s not (you) can see the end of the road, 
I can see it too, for you, I'm scared, if I lose you, I'm not prepared. 
This time, if you die. 
I watch you, right before my eyes. 
Just trust me, and listen. 
You have no self control. 
This will take your life. 
Overdose and then indulge until you die. 
Pondering, we all ask the question why. 
Broken home, and then abandoned by your dad. 
And we are left the only family that you've ever had. 
Help you see it through. 
Fight this me and you. 
Reaching deep inside. 
Problems not just you is what we find. 
Our friendship makes it mine.





Waking The Fallen

Waking The Fallen Wake the ones and rise tonight Fallen souls we shine so bright Rise now and ever forgotten memories No one can touch us Unholy Confessions "I'll try," she said as he walked away. "Try not to lose you." Two vibrant hearts could change. Nothing tears the being more than deception, unmasked fear. "I'll be here waiting" tested but secure. Nothing hurts my world, just affects the ones around me When sin's deep in my blood, you'll be the one to fall. "I wish I could be the one, the one who won't care at all But being the one on the stand, I know the way to go, no one's guiding me. When time soaked with blood turns its back, I know it's hard to fall. Confined in me was your heart I know it's hurting you, but it's killing me." Nothing will last in this life, our time is spent constructing, now you're perfecting a world... meant to sin. Constrict your hands around me, squeeze till I cannot breathe, this air tastes dead inside me, contribute to our plague. Break all your promises, tear down this steadfast wall, restraints are useless here, tasting salvation's near. Chapter Four (give me your hand, blood is spilt and man will follow infernal man, punishment too great to bear) Conceived and born was one of light Rain and dark, the other born black night Raise your head and taste the courage (the one of light) Fall from grace, unholy night I've come here to kill you, won't leave until you've died Murder born of vengeance, I closed my brothers eyes tonight... Its cold tonight as the clouds turn grey and from my hands to my brothers grave You took his side, you took his gift, feel the power of a fallen man, crestfallen man... Far away in this land I must go, out of the site of the One. A punishment sent from his hand a hardship no one should know Now go out of the site of the One, away in this land you must go. Where has he gone? What have you done? A voice commands from high above this earth. From the soil I hear his blood cry out to me Murder, liar, vengeance, deceit. Remenissions With this ink in our skin we've sealed our fate, and the axe comes early (only naturally) So what does that matter? There's a bed of skeletons waiting for me, on the other side They're waiting for my next move (next fatal breath) Human lives to me seem so unreal, can't see through the fog (nothing past a grey wall) see past the stereotype Belief, structure built up in you. I'll tear you down and the one who created you If they didn't have One how would they act? If we didn't have hope how would we behave? Would they still feel remorse if they slaughtered innocent beings? Or is hope the only thing that keeps you sane? A good friend once told me we are our memory without it we equal nothing And all I can see is the place I wanna be Timeless my life was so free Leaves at my feet, blown to the ground their echoes are reaching my ears Nights coming fast, suns going down But keep away from me... keep away from me (it's hard, to keep me in this place, keep away from me) We may have created the beginning, mentally We may have created the beginning, physically To the end of our human existence... I see through you The fear that's in your eyes A good friend once told me we are our memory Without it we equal nothing And all I can see is the place I wanna be Timeless my life was so free Leaves at my feet, blown to the ground their echoes are reaching my ears Nights coming fast, suns going down - confused I don't know the answers but neither do you Desecrate Through Reverance Hard news, taken harder, don't look to me Disappointed, we don't agree, I don't need your praise... (don't look my way for help, from the beginning you came to me) Never asked you to like me, I don't want your praise (we won't play your games) Look down on me, spit in my face, you're nothing to me:not to me Darkened eyes you'll see, there is no hope, no savior in me (don't look this way, don't breathe this way, don't stare this way, anymore) Learned from years gone by, no one will care, what happens to me (don't look this way, don't breathe this way, don't stare this way, anymore) My presence won't be ignored, no not today Don't walk in my direction, turn the other way (don't look my way for help, from the beginning you came to me) Asking questions, predetermined answers, you won't find them here (we don't want your opinion) And I don't want you, I won't let you think, compromise is near. 'Cause it's not near. I'm alone in here No more feelings Killed my fears Don't ask you'll never know you're left behind and I'll be exposed Far away, you keep on trying... Holding me down, breaking away, trying to distance my life. Not one in the crowd, but one with the answer the one that could change your mind But it's not true, I don't know you Don't waste your time, and don't waste mine I'm not your friend, I won't soothe your soul And in the end you're all dead to me.... Eternal Rest Black enchanting eyes, cut through my heart with no regret or sign of life They tear apart my pride and cold runs through my veins I feel their stare from miles haunting every step and they won't stop hunting me down I know the time will come, when all around me's burned and you'll still see me there Asking where you went too and what person brought you here And why you left the burning children cold out in the night and calling for you all alone... Dark in their hearts, I can feel it burn inside of me Tormented young with no souls, haunting me Pain in their lives all they know is misery Take these chains away that are holding me down They'll find you alone and your desperate and villainous ways Turning their hearts into stone they seek more then vengeance Look in their eyes your pain is their satisfaction Look in their eyes and see the darkness take hold Burn for the rest of time Hear the haunting words lost children with no heart are crying and your the lost mother their calling I hear them crying at night outside when the planets are falling They want to feel and know you hear them Go now / Run and hide Eternal Rest / In time Second Heartbeat Gone... We keep writing, talking and planning, but everything's changing. We all know what to do but know one does it. Now this time has passed and full of regret. Two in my heart have left me a while, I stand alone. When they get back, it won't be the same. My life, you've always been there. Now you're gone and my heads spinning. Left the childhood, left the memories, left the good times in the past. Moving on your time has run out. Wishing the clock would stand still, the world can wait. Wasting away once again, once lived as friends. As time passes by, regrets for the rest of my life. The ones who I confide were gone in the black of the night. Never will I forget you, and all the memories past. So rarely I get to see your face. Growing I looked to you in guidance. We knew that time would kill us, but you're still so close to me. To me you were my life. To me you were my soul companion. Now you are so far away. Nothing can take away the time and the memories we had. Come back - to the days when we were young Come back - to the days when nothing mattered. Radiant Eclipse Two nights ago I was shot A bullet sunk straight through my skull A friend pulled the trigger that silenced me No pain as I awoke, but dead Seeing the face of the man The time as he lays down his gun I knew this was going to take place White silence, so peaceful, so numb No one knows the time they're changing No one will see through: You're all gone to me, (gone to me) I've been pulled out to watch from my eternal sleep Intuition and a warning to believe (I will believe) Something was wrong and though I felt I had to stay Moving on seemed to be somber bliss Without one goodbye I watch my Mother shed tears (and taste the blood she cries and taste the blood she cries) No:This gun has stopped time in its tracks Has altered the course of my fate Destiny is shattered and timeless Closed eyes feel the cold winds embrace I'll watch you call, calling for me, you can't bring back time... Close your eyes or look away, fate exposed and won't let me stay Hope will fall tonight with broken wings, descending entity in me My voice has been taken from me. The more I listen, the more I have to say I Won't See You Tonight Part 1 Cry alone, I've gone away No more nights, no more pain I've gone alone, took all my strength But I've made the change, I won't see you tonight Sorrow, sank deep inside my blood all the ones around me, I cared for and (loved) most of all I loved but I can't see myself that way please don't forget me or cry while I'm away It all built up, inside of me A place so dark, so cold, I had to set me free Don't mourn for me, you're not the one to place the blame As bottles called my name, I won't see you tonight So far away, I'm gone. Please don't follow me tonight. And while I'm gone, everything will be alright. No more breath inside Essence left my heart tonight I Won't See You Tonight Part 2 Come back to me, this is unconceivable Breaking apart the ones you love Hate runs deep for what you've done to us Left alone through suicide...suicide I just want to die, take away my life lay by your side, please:. Look at my face you pierce with a blank stare No dream could prepare a heart for a lifeless friend. He's gone. Nothing will take back time. I need him back, but nothing will take back time. (take back time) I can see just fine, you in my life, there by my side as it starts to fade I know this can't be right, stuck in a dream a nightmare full of sorrow Nightmare - full of pain I look back and see the twisted road Best friends and despair took its toll Take away You can't be replaced I'm left alone with you in spirit and the words you wrote to me Sorrow, sank deep inside my blood all the ones around me, I cared for and most of all I loved but I can't see myself that way please don't forget me or cry while I'm away Clairvoyant Disease Dust begins to fall, to the ground The air is cold and thin Thoughts are haunting me as I look around This will never end and I'll bleed forever Don't acknowledge right, just dwell on wrong This spot in hell's where I belong I've come so far - it's been so long Don't know why it started or where it came from Outside shell is strong - confident But slowly eats away Like a man plagued with disease, I try to fight Through my pores it seems to seep... I'll bleed forever And you sit there and do nothing You're content with doing nothing There's nowhere to run and hide when you're living to die Stuck alone inside your head, better off dead The phone would ring in the empty house, no one's around. But in my life, I wanted more, I needed more I taste more And All Things Will End Lived through you, safe with how we lived our lives, with how it all turned out. (But things are bound to change) Uncovered lies, surfaced throughout, will make you change your mind Sometimes life is altered Won't turn out right. Can't turn out right When I see you, I can read it in your eyes, fate misunderstood. (But things are bound to change) Swallowed the lies, can't blame you for, thinking with your heart. Sometimes life is altered. Break from the ropes your hands are tied. Uneasy with confrontation. Won't turn out right. Can't turn out right I see my world crumble and fall, before my eyes I know, I know. Dark will turn to light, in time I'll be alright I know, I know (I never imagined my life could turn out this way So cold so black so alone) Living goes by fast, catch your breath and it will pass you by. And it won't last, to sulk with the memories you hold. Sometimes life is altered. Break from the ropes your hands are tied. Uneasy with confrontation. Won't turn out right. Can't turn out right
