Avenged Sevenfold - The Stage
[01:46.06] So I arrived, naked and cold
[01:49.31] A welcomed change from the abeyance of a ghost town catacomb
[01:53.56] No need for counsel, I appreciate the time I'm not alone
[00:00.00] (Why don't you get my lawyer on the phone?)
[00:00.00] There were days these child eyes
[00:00.00] Would overlook the ugliness and fantasize
[00:00.00] I found my heart for the first time and I awakened in me
[00:00.00] I left myself to navigate and oh I felt control
[00:00.00] (It appears these sheep have quite an appetite)
[00:00.00] Who is the crowd that peers through the cage
[00:00.00] As we perform here upon the stage?
[00:00.00] As the boy became a man
[00:00.00] In came a calm sophistication I can hardly understand
[00:00.00] So lost in ego, didn't notice when the time had a slipped away
[00:00.00] (Yeah, everybody's got a sob story)
[00:00.00] Jesus Christ was born to die
[00:00.00] Leave it to man to levitate his own to idolize
[00:00.00] We're simply sociopaths with no communication, baby
[00:00.00] I see your angle but we differ from our points of view
[00:00.00] (So tell me, what's your cross to bear?)
[00:00.00] Who is the crowd that peers through the cage
[00:00.00] As we perform here upon the stage?
[00:00.00] Tell me a lie in a beautiful way
[00:00.00] I believe in answers, just not today
[00:00.00] Hope my wheels don't abandon me now
[00:00.00] Seein' that I'm out here alone
[00:00.00] I'm runnin' out of fight
[00:00.00] And the wind speaks a comforting voice
[00:00.00] Guiding me to her arms
[00:00.00] Mother, I'm alright
[00:00.00] It took the birth of sin to snake-rattle the mind
[00:00.00] Before a blow to the head by the gavel of time
[00:00.00] To wake up
[00:00.00] Won't you wake up?
[00:00.00] When did the walking apes decide that nuclear war
[00:00.00] Was now the only solution for them keeping the score?
[00:00.00] Just wake up
[00:00.00] Can't you wake up?
[00:00.00] (You do know this is just a simulation, don’t you?)
[00:00.00] Who is the crowd that peers through the cage
[00:00.00] As we perform here upon the stage?
[00:00.00] Tell me a lie in a beautiful way
[00:00.00] I believe in answers, just not today
