Paradigm (Letra) – Avenged Sevenfold
Letras da musica:
You’ve been breakin down for far too long
Far too many moons since
You felt well and strong
You see, you could say goodbye
But you don’t have to die
Not ever

Engineer the wires to your brain
Architect a code so you won’t feel the pain
With your family by your side
And vigor in your eyes forever
Live forever
I’m way up, a god in size
Beyond the reach of mortals
I shed my human side
Farther, o’ father
I stare at my reflection
Have I lost that boy inside?
Final paradigm

What’s it really mean to be a man?
Think about your answer
But please understand
While it’s natural to fear
I’ll make it disappear forever
I forever

I’m way up, a god in size
Beyond the reach of mortals
I shed my human side
Farther, o’ father
I stare at my reflection
Have I lost that boy inside?
Final paradigm

Singular I am

I have the question
If these thoughts are mine
To live forever
But did something in me die?
I’m clawing my skin
But I can’t feel it inside
I know the agony of pain would hurt
So much better

I’m way up so far up
Have I lost myself tonight?
Father, o’ father
Have you lost that boy you used to know?

Sunny Disposition (Letra) – Avenged Sevenfold
Letras da musica:
We’ve been through hell
Sewn up our eyes
Found fuel in meds
Viewed through the narrow
Encouraged fear when so inclined
Bought peace through wars
That doomed our children to die
Ego is sure to fix the world
Served up to happy boys and girls
I’d make a decision if granted the privilege
But I’m afraid my taste is unrefined
And no one likes cheap wine

When the clouds kiss your eye
Shadows stain on the high-rise
Raise your thumb to the sky
Fossilize

You own the burg
We sleep in streets
You dine then waste
We forage to eat

Well who pays the tab
When you cross the line?
Who writes the check?
Who’s herding the swine?
Just takes a fence to rule the roost
As long as the scale has been reduced
How can we see the outside of the pen
When survival has possession of our minds?
Calmly walk the line

When the clouds kiss your eye
Shadows stain on the high-rise
Raise your thumb to the sky
Fossilize
All good things come with time
When you know then you’ll know
Such a marvelous find in an illusion

(vlader lauder sat in sorrow
For all his teeth had gone
He drank sweet rum
While fingering his gun
And eyeballed a feast
Not one bite he could eat
Somebody cut off his head!)

Dear radiation my sweet friend
Let agents dance upon my nerves
Let sunlight glow under my skin
Let toxins seep into my soul

When the clouds kiss your eye
Shadows stain on the high-rise
Raise your thumb to the sky
Fossilize
All good things come with time
When you know then you’ll know
Such a marvelous time
I will find in an illusion
It’s an illusion

Creating God (Letra) – Avenged Sevenfold
Letras da musica:
Standing in the shade of altruism
Answering the call
Came a modern messiah to save us all
Something far beyond the work of fiction
Positronic brain
A world that’s void of all the anguish
And suffering, pain

Better tame your convictions
Before you go and open the cage
We’re creating god, master of our designs
We’re creating god
Unsure of what we’ll find
Never held a high regard for darwin
Selection takes too long
A little kick in the pool
Shouldn’t do us wrong
Devouring the very last
Invention man would ever need
But exponential growth
Is a frightening thing, indeed

Sweet bohemian jury rounded up
And hung in the streets
We’re creating god, master of our designs
We’re creating god
Unsure of what we’ll find

Sometimes when I look up
To the sky I have to wonder
Are we “summoning the demon” you and I?

Have you noticed
That I’m needin’ it more now
More than it needs me
Got a couple of billion
That seem to agree
Surfing in an artificial dimension
But we’re not alone
Now the master has become
Just a stepping stone, oh

Like a blow to the ego
The bitter pills are harder to take
We’re creating god, master of our designs
We’re creating god, unsure of what we’ll find
We’re creating god, in search of the divine
We’re creating god. committing suicide

Higher (Letra) – Avenged Sevenfold
Letras da musica:
Freed of the world
Shed of the weight
Onward to see you my friend
Light years above
(take me higher)
Time seems to wait
(take me higher)
Promise to see you again

It haunts to remember
All the memories of that day
Pre-flight demonstration
Led to desperate voices fueled by flames
Now I’m out here waitin’
Hoping you would send a sign
Came a million miles
And the earth grows small
As I lovingly leave it behind

Freed of the world
Shed of the weight
Onward to see you my friend

We seem to have found it
All the hope we’ve been denied
There’s more than we’ve been told
Had to find it on the other side
Now I must be dreaming
Face against the frozen glass
But there’s no return now
And the blazing worlds salute
As we go flying past

Freed of the world
Shed of the weight
Onward to see you my friend
Light years above
(take me higher)
Time seems to wait
(take me higher)
Promise to see you again

Meet you in the stars tonight
There you find me drifting
In the ether within the hill

Fermi Paradox (Letra) – Avenged Sevenfold
Letras da musica:
Lights paint the windows in the sky
The past is sewn
In pursuit our spirit shown
But for now there’s no one home

Heavens work on borrowed time
(walk alone)
Empty pages burn forever mine
(walk alone)
Masquerade us upon high
(walk alone)
All we are is all we’ve left behind
My sweet medusa
Reflect the empty in our behind
Snakes born of fire
Conjure the demons in our dreams

In void we illustrate our lives
Emerge in small
Heed the sign meant to evolve
To the end we send the call

Heavens work on borrowed time
(walk alone)
Empty pages burn forever mine
(walk alone)
Masquerade us upon high
(walk alone)
All we are is all we’ve left behind

Where children shiver in the cold
The sun will shine
Just a touch to heal the blind
In ourselves we hope to find

Heavens work on borrowed time
(walk alone)
Empty pages burn forever mine
(walk alone)
Masquerade us upon high
(walk alone)
All we are is all we’ve left behind

Alone

Angels (Letra) – Avenged Sevenfold
Letras da musica:
Took me years to make my motives clear
And the days have not been kind
Once a steady gaze and charming smile
Has been buried in the lines I find
I walk in the noise, quiet employs
And darkness seems to know just where I am

Mother wash the devil from my hands
Pray the lord I have the strength to stand
Mother, tell me was it all a lie?
Show me where the angels die
There are words that never found my lips
There are words I’d soon forget
Thought the trick was never to look back
But it seems I’ve lost my grip, I slip
The faster we run now, the closer the gun now
And somehow all the bullets bear my name

Mother wash the devil from my hands
Pray the lord I have the strength to stand
Mother, tell me was it all a lie?
Show me where the angels die

Took the road but should have chased the stars
Now I’ve lost my own way home
Had a photo of the time we shared
But I burned it long ago, I know
I struck the matches stuck in the ashes
Forgive me, won’t you simply speak my name

Mother wash the devil from my hands
Pray the lord I have the strength to stand
Mother, tell me was it all a lie?
Show me where the angels die

The faster we run now, the closer the gun now
And somehow we all found
The warmth of the gun now (x6)

Took the road but should have chased the stars
Now I’ve lost my own way home
Had a photo of the time we shared
But I burned it long ago (x2)

Simulation (Letra) – Avenged Sevenfold
Letras da musica:
It seems I should have walked away
Reverse the wager I’ve no means to pay
Toto has pulled back the green tonight
In sight
And blue pills coat with such disdain
I wore the shades for so long
That I’ve forgotten how to see
The curtain rises
But who dares to pull the strings

I know this may be hard
For you to believe in all
But you only exist because we allow it
I question all the voices in my head
Are they mine or have I been misled?
Total understanding doesn’t seem
To mean a thing
When you can’t see behind the silver screen
A figurine
Can’t you hear me scream?

By the way of cosmic rays
A subtle breakdown jarred the code display
A simulation as I can tell, our cell
Playing out a hopeless scene
We stand to lose all our charm
And faith just seems to wane
A billion years can seem
A stunningly short time

You’ve been beaten down time and time again
But still you find yourself
At the center of it all

I question all the voices in my head
Are they mine or have I been misled?
Total understanding doesn’t seem
To mean a thing
When you can’t see behind the silver screen
A figurine
Can’t you hear me scream?

You hear me
You had one thing to do, one thing
And you fucked it up, piece of shit
Nurse, patient 666158 needs to be sedated
We need 500 ccs, (?)
Oh hello there, dearie
I’ve been expecting you

Posturing the way I feel
Is truth only what we believe is real?
Marvel the sketches that paint the night
Starlight
And take a breath before it’s all erased away

God Damn (Letra) – Avenged Sevenfold
Oh!

Hey! can’t you see
We’re tripping on the wire
Walking through the candy land
Of our desires
Press the magic button
And behold the world you crave
Where’s the fun in freedom
When it renders you a slave?
Pledge allegiance, no flag
God nation, goddamned
The devil dances with the scorned
And how the fire keeps us warm

Hey! it goes beyond big brother in the sky
Beyond the threat of martial law
No horus eye
No one came to cuff you
They just handed you the chains
Blind follows the blind
And now the one-eyed man is king

Pledge allegiance, no flag
God nation, goddamned
The devil dances with the scorned
And how the fire keeps us warm

Tunnel vision, no man
Damnation, god damn
Can’t see the forest for the trees
Can’t heal the wound before we bleed

No form of payment
No pot of gold will satisfy
The debt of what he’s owed
Spilling from the houses in a trance
The children lined up on the road
Cursing at the piper
As he lured your kids away
And led them to the river
For what was their final day
No need for convincing
On his pipe he played a song to fool them all
Fooled them all

Pledge allegiance, no flag
God nation, goddamned
The devil dances with the scorn
And now the fire keeps us (keeps us)

Tunnel vision, no man
Damnation, god damn
Can’t see the forest for the trees
Can’t heal the wound before we bleed
