Song lyrics
My story starts the day they said "she can't be found"
The news so dark, heart stopped, I stood silent without a sound
It's over, she's finished, mother lies with your father and sister too
Cold-blooded, they suffered, shot down by the outlaws after you

Sorrow swallows my screams

Strength of the world - is on my shoulders
Strength of the world - is on my side
Strength of the world - the one true beholder
Ice in my veins - for those who've died

I've seen my family fade away
You've taken my whole life
There's nothing left to say

Avenge the dead killed all who crossed me in my path
Suicidal, I never planned on coming back
I want it, I need it, revenge is dripping from my teeth
Need nothing to feel power, and bring the killers to their knees

Nothing to lose, vengeance to gain
You know I'll never be the same
So taste my breath, I'm close behind you
So desperate on your final day

Sorrow swallows my screams

Strength of the world - is on my shoulders
Strength of the world - is on my side
Strength of the world - the one true beholder
Ice in my veins - for those who've died

I've seen my family fade away
You've taken my whole life
There's nothing left to say

Sitting in silence with heaven above me
I prayed every night by their graves
While I search for closure, I feel it no longer
I can't turn my cheek away

I stand before you, I'll sin when I have to
But now I leave your side, to avenge my family's pride

I've seen my family fade away
You've taken my whole life
There's nothing left to say

Strength of the world - is on my shoulders
Strength of the world - is on my side
Strength of the world - the one true beholder
Ice in my veins - for those who've died

So far forever now alone
A greater punishment on me has been imposed
A killer falling from the light
I'll miss my family, I'll never be alright

And thats all she wrote

This song is pretty good. I absolutely love the intro to the song and the lyrics. I'm not a huge fan of his voice in this particular song for some reason though....but it's still a good song.

YES NOW THIS SONG IS AN EPIC!! i love the way it starts out, and then they jump in with the guitar parts, then the drums come in, truly a great song to be enjoyed by all, idk the vocals are kinda iffy, but besides that everything else is fucking awesome, no actually i take that back the vocals are good too. but yeah as always a7x puts out yet another great fucking album first S.T.S.T and then W.T.F both great albums as well, and the C.O.E comes out and redefines avenged. OMG CHANGE! some will fear the change other wont,some will think avenged has sold out by swtching to WB records but as a musician myself i can understand why they made the change, well hope you all check out this album,cuz this is definately gonna be one of THE BEST albums of '05 well now im gonna go blast avenged sevenfold and drink some brewskies lata
