The Stage
Avenged Sevenfold
So I arrived, naked and cold
A welcomed change from the abeyance of a ghost town catacomb
No need for counsel I appreciate the time Im not alone
(Why dont you get my lawyer on the phone)
There were days these child eyes
Would overlook the ugliness and fantasize
I found my heart for the first time and I awakened in me
I left myself to navigate, and oh I felt control
(It seems these sheep have quite an appetite)
Who is the crowd that peers through the cage,
As we perform here upon the stage?
As the boy became a man
In came a calm sophistication I can hardly understand
So lost in ego, didnt notice when the time had slipped away
(Yeah, everybodys got a sob story)
Jesus Christ, was born to die
Leave it to man to levitate his own to idolize
Were simply sociopaths with no communication baby
I see your angle but we differ from our points of view
(So tell me, whats your cross to bear?)
Who is the crowd that peers through the cage,
As we perform here upon the stage?
Tell me a lie in a beautiful way
I believe in answers just not today
Hope my wheels dont abandon me now,
Seeing that Im out here alone
Im running out of fight
And the wind speaks a comforting voice,
Guiding me to her arms
Mother, Im alright
It took the birth of sin to snake-rattle the mind
Before a blow to the head by the gavel of time
To wake up
Wont you wake up?
When did the walking apes decide that nuclear war
Was now the only solution for them keeping the score?
Just wake up
Cant you wake up?
(You do know this is just a simulation, dont you?)
Who is the crowd that peers through the cage,
As we perform here upon the stage?
Tell me a lie in a beautiful way
I believe in answers just not today -
"Paradigm"
You've been breaking down for far too long
Far too many moons since you've 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
Father, 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
Father, O' Father
I stare at my reflection, have I lost that boy inside?
Final paradigm
Singular I am
I have to 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? -
So far, The Stage is better than Paradigm.
1.) The Stage
2.) Paradigm -
"Sunny Disposition"
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 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... -
So far
1.) The stage
2.) Sunny disposition
3.) Paradigm -
"God Damn"
Oh!
Hey - can't you see we're tripping on the wire
Waltzing through the candy land of our desires
Press the magic button and behold the world you crave
But 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 follow 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
Damn nation, 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 scorned
And how the fire keeps us (keeps us, keeps us)
Tunnel vision, no man
Damn nation, god damn
Can't see the forest for the trees
Can't heal the wound before we bleed -
This and The stage are tied
-
All of them are good
Let's keep it at that -
