Song lyrics
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 

Gave 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 hope 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 
(I am unbroken; 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) 

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 hope you might 
Take me back inside when the time is right

wow, I never really liked much of Avenged Sevenfold stuff a lot, like a lot a lot. I just thought most of it was alright, but this song changed that. I really like it, think it's awesome, the lyrics are good, the voice is rad and the guitars are amazing.

Avenged has really let me down.
They're heading more for what the public wants rather than what their real fans know and love, I mean what happened to Chapter Four, Dessecrate Through Reverance I mean shyte they really let me down on this new album. They were so much more metal before, now they're just so commercial. Who really listened to any of their other albums aside from City of Evil(which was amazing)? They changed drastically, the guitar work isn't as good and shreddy as it used to be, the solos are still totally syn and they're great but they used to be so much better!!!
The new songs are good but it's like they totally changed, they're not Avenged Sevenfold anymore...

I don't know what's wrong with Ghost of U, but this song is really awesome. i loved this band before, and now i love it morenow. A7X is still A7X, just more complicated and deep.
