Staring at the carnage, praying that the sun would never rise
Living another day in disguise, these feelings cant be right Lend me your courage to stand up and fight tonight Stand up and fight The 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 right in front of her son (Take this from my consciousness and please erase my dreams) Fight for honor, fight for your life, pray to God that our side is right Though we won I still may lose, until I make it home to you I see our mothers filled with tears, grew up so fast, where did those years go? Memories won't 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 we're here I have my 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 Though we won I still may lose, until I make it home to you I see our mothers filled with tears, 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 I'm alive Stranger's blood on my hands, shot all I can There are no silent nights, watching your brothers all die To destroy all their plans, with no thought of me (No thought of me) No thought of me Walk the city lonely, memories that haunt are passing by A murderer walks your streets tonight Forgive me for my crimes; don't forget that I was so young Fought so scared, in the name of God and country  submitted by IFeelMalice on 04-06-2005 corrected by Cornwallis Beast on 14-08-2007 |

3 posts | rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal this is by far one of the best songs ever. simply just because of the message and then the soft-loud-soft transitions. this band rocks! |

105 posts | rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal this is one of my favorites off the album at the moment. MIA is the kind of song where you sing along & headbang without even realizing it. if you've seen The Outsiders...this would be a great song for the part with the rumble, wouldnt it? |

7 posts | rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Just because of the fact that A7X may have gone a little more soft on us doesn't mean that they deserve any less recognition. They still did a great job with this album, and everything about it makes me love it. It is completely one of my favorite albums of theirs. This song is well done, and the lyrics are great too. The guitarists are still as great as ever and have not lost anything since the slight change. Rock on guys. HollenEngelen Hell'sAngels |

407 posts | rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal i agree as well, a7x has lost a bit of the have metal it had however, that still kick ass. the reason being that a7x doesn't sound as hardcore as they used to is due to the fact that M.Shadows had a blood vessel in his throat that popped, therefore not allowing him to do his signature screaming or famous yells. i for one think that sucks. still, i love a7x and they still keep it hardcore. A7X right on.  |

2 posts | rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal heh, i agree. A7X definately still kicks ass, and his voice isnt really any worse, just different, he broke blood vessel's in his neck, so i'd say he's recovering very well. hehe, he sounds like Lemmy from Motorhead! |

4 posts | rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I CANT BELIEVE NO ONE STARTED A DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS SONG!!! this song is fucking awesome.avenged sevenfold might have gotten a bit less heavy BUT the guitar solos are still there the hammering drums are still there its aenged sevenfold in a whole new package.the lyrics are better then W.T.F but all you thatve lost interest in aveged just cuz their softer are missing out  ,shads voice is a lil off on some parts but overall he really does switch up in this song, all hail avenged sevenfold otherwise you will be AVENGED BY THE SEVENFOLD!  |
