Avenged Sevenfold
The Stage
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 I'm not alone
(Why don't 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 appears 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
Didn't notice when the time had a
slipped away
(Yeah, everybody's got a sob story)
Jesus Christ was born to die
Leave it to man to levitate his own
to idolize
We're simply sociopaths with no
communication, baby
I see your angle but we differ from
our points of view
(So tell me, what's 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 don't abandon me now
Seein' that I'm out here alone
I'm runnin' out of fight
And the wind speaks a comforting
voice
Guiding me to her arms
Mother, I'm 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
Won't 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
Can't you wake up?
(You do know this is just a simulation,
don’t 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
