Avenged Sevenfold - This Means War

Hide my face again, harbor in the shadows Feel this weight of sin hammering away Die with the guilt of a thousand AWOL soldiers Die, watch the scythe usher me astray

I can't go on this way Not as I am today The ugly side of me is strong Take aim a loaded gun Pull back on all who run A coward's truth inside the wrong This means war This means war This means war

Lash your tongue of bane, carry me to nowhere Mental holocaust, battle never ends Lie, mask the pain of a child who's forsaken Lie to myself, praise the new regime

I left me long ago Reasons you'll never know No one to miss me when I'm gone With no more words to say No argument to stay Another post I don't belong This means war This means war This means war This means war This means war

No home to call my own No finding someone new No one to break the fall No one to see me through No name to carry on No promise for today No one to hear the call No tattered flag to raise

Walk the razor's edge, cut into the madness Question all you trust, buy into the fear I see the man ripping at my soul now I, I know the man, I know him all too well

There's nothing here for free Lost who I want to be My serpent blood can strike so cold On any given day I'll take it all away Another thought I can't control This means war This means war This means war This means war This means war
