Song lyrics
He who makes a beast out of himself
Gets rid of the pain of being a man

Caught here in a fiery blaze
I won't lose my will to stay
I tried to drive all through the night
The heat stroke ridden weather, the barren empty sights

No oasis here to see, the sand is singing deathless words to me

Can't you help me as I'm starting to burn (all alone)
Too many doses and I'm starting to gain an attraction
My confidence is leaving me on my own (all alone)
No one can save me and you know I don't want the attention

As I adjust to my new sights
The rarely tired lights will take me to new heights
My hand is on the trigger I'm ready to ignite
Tomorrow might not make it but everything's all right

Mental fiction follows me, show me what it's like to be set free

Can't you help me as I'm startin' to burn (all alone)
Too many doses and I'm starting to gain an attraction
My confidence is leaving me on my own (all alone)
No one can save me and you know I don't want the attention

So sorry you're not here
I've been sane too long my vision's so unclear
Now take a trip with me
But don't be surprised when things aren't what they seem

Caught here in a fiery blaze, won't lose my will to stay
These eyes won't see the same, after I flip today

Sometimes I don't know why we'd rather live than die
We look up towards the sky for answers to our lives
We may get some solutions but most just pass us by
Don't want your absolution cause I can't make it right

I'll make a beast out of myself
Gets rid of all the pain of being a man

Can't you help me as I'm starting to burn (all alone)
Too many doses and I'm starting to gain an attraction
My confidence is leaving me on my own (all alone)
No one can save me and you know I don't want the attention

So sorry you're not here
I've been tame too long my visions so unclear
Now take a trip with me
But don't be suprised when things aren't what they seem

I've known it from the start
These good ideas will tear you're brain apart
Scared but you can follow me
I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die

The only Avenged Sevenfold song I've heard that I like. Don't like the vocals too much though. Don't like the outro either.

Love this song.. definitely a reference to Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas... "We can't stop here, this is bat country!" Plus the opening quote of the movie "He who makes a beast out of himself, gets rid of the pain of being a man." Good movie and good song as a tribute..

The only part I don't really care for of the song is the ending.

A bit to mellow, rather have it end on an awesome blood-rushing note as the rest of the song is.

Pretty good song though.

every person from a7x are amazing at what they do.

m shadows is just cool-as-f*ck. his voice is mellow when it needs to be yet when he is trying to sound energetic, he has so much power that it is difficult to fit in the room. i love it.

this is my fave a7x song by far.

finding a better guitarist than synester gates in the next century is going to take some doing aswell.

Ok so I think the video to this song is a homage to Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Because Johnny Depp's character in the first part of the movie is driving in a similar car to that in the video and he's swatting at bats with a fly swatter.
that movie's awesome. which makes me love this song even more!

jesus, you idiots, this song is not about "fear and loathing in las vegas"! it's about pot, alright?! it's all about pot!

guess what? truman was a pothead. why the hell do you think he wrote fear and loathing.

Besides liking the song as a whole, I could probably listen to that opening scream all day.
