The stage
[00:02.23] The stage
[00:33.86] Avenged sevenfold
[01:39.27] So I arrived, naked and cold
[01:42.45] A welcomed change from the abeyance of a ghost town catacomb
[01:46.70] No need for counsel I appreciate the time, I'm not alone
[01:51.23] (Why don't you get my lawyer on the phone)
[01:53.62] There were days these child eyes
[01:56.54] Would overlook the ugliness and fantasize
[02:00.79] I found my heart for the first time and I awakened in me
[02:04.50] I left myself to navigate, and oh I felt control
[02:09.83] (It seems these sheep have quite an appetite)
[02:14.89] Who is the crowd that peers through the cage
[02:21.80] As we perform here upon the stage?
[02:35.63] As the boy became a man
[02:39.35] In came a calm sophistication I can hardly understand
[02:43.60] So lost in ego, didn't notice when the time had slipped away
[02:48.11] (Yeah, everybody's got a sob story)
[02:50.51] Jesus Christ, was born to die
[02:53.69] Leave it to man to levitate his own to idolize
[02:57.95] We're simply sociopaths with no communication, baby
[03:01.38] I see your angle but we differ from our points of view
[03:06.72] (So tell me, what's your cross to bear?)
[03:11.51] Who is the crowd that peers through the cage
[03:18.33] As we perform here upon the stage?
[03:26.04] Tell me a lie in a beautiful way
[03:32.67] I believe in answers just not today
[05:24.57] Hope my wheels don't abandon me now
[05:28.81] Seeing that I'm out here alone
[05:32.53] I'm running out of fight
[05:38.91] And the wind speaks a comforting voice
[05:42.63] Guiding me to her arms
[05:46.36] Mother, I'm alright
[05:51.14] It took the birth of sin to snake-rattle the mind
[05:54.62] Before a blow to the head by the gavel of time
[05:58.50] To wake up
[06:01.17] Won't you wake up?
[06:05.42] When did the walking apes decide that nuclear war
[06:09.17] Was the only solution for them keeping the score?
[06:12.62] Just wake up
[06:15.80] Can't you wake up?
[06:41.34] Who is the crowd that peers through the cage
[06:47.98] As we perform here upon the stage?
[06:55.41] Tell me a lie in a beautiful way
[07:02.36] I believe in answers just not today
