    Lyrics:
    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

    I did 2 tours, My first in Iraq, and the other in Afghanistan. Before, my father who was a Vietnam Vet never really talked about what he went through over there, that is until I came home from my first tour. It's funny how war can bring a father and son closer together. He was a classic rock kinda guy but I got him into A7X. He loved this song especially. He passed away, and now I'm having a beer, blasting this, and remembering him. Semper Fi

When Metallica did a tour in 2018 with Avenged and Volbeat they specifically asked Avenged to do the tour with them.

      They made songs to sound like bands they grew up liking. If you jack asses knew anything about Avenged you would know this. Metallica actually likes the song and they are friends with Avenged Sevenfold. Avenged Sevenfold has even said that these songs were done for bands that were their inspiration. Nobody copied anyone. Through out the history of rock every band has done songs that sound similar to others. You can't copy right a riff, if so there would be no music. every song takes something from other music. I grew up on Metallica, the good kick ass Metallica and ill take Avenged over them any day music wise and personal. They are down to earth. They lost a member and still 10 years later his voice echos through their concerts. They never forget and the fans dont either. Thats a true band that dont let their member get forgotten. foREVer.

    Look at this. Just look at it. This is why Avenged Sevenfold & heavy metal fans are the best fans in the world! You'll never see pop stars or rappers playing to crowds this large with so many ferociously passionate fans. This type of dynamic between a band and it's fans is unique to rock/metal, and it goes beyond the typical relationship modern performers have with their listeners. Ours is a cathartic, borderline religious endeavor we get to experience with our genre. It's as if this is our Mecca, and we must all make a pilgrimage to it at least once in our lifetimes in order to consummate our devotion to the artform.
    The masses go to Kanye West or Katy Perry concerts to simply be entertained for the evening. Not metal fans. Not A7X fans. No, we go to an Avenged show to bare our souls and bask in the sonic euphoria that can only come when a rock band & it's fans give it everything they've got by pouring every fiber of their being out onto the stages, floors, and balconies of arenas every night all around the world.
    There's simply nothing else like hard rock & metal in music. Rock/Metal music will always have an inherent intangible quality to give it an edge over all the other music genres. That intangible quality being bands who create all of their own music themselves, and imbue their music with high levels of emotion and soulfulness at every step along the way. These guys have to translate through their instruments the stream of consciousness sounds only they can hear in their heads when creating new music. No hired studio musicians to play it for them first. No lyrics being purchased from songwriters. No high tech studio wizardry like sampling, computers, or sound effects being mixed together to manufacture the next killer bass line that the industry can market to adverisers and cash in on.
    No, rock & metal music is the best music because it's the only genre where a bunch of otherwise ordinary people, when taken as singular individuals, can come together to create something remarkably extraordinary as a combined group. Even better is the fact that this is only achieved through relentless practice, patience, hard work, and sheer determination.
    Pop and rap can win the popularity contest for all we care. Because us rock & metal fans will always have the edge over those audiences because only we get to experience the unique emotional and spiritual fulfillment that only rock & metal music offers to it's audiences.
    Those poor, ignorant bastards.....

    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

    I have a dream of being a famous MMA/Muay Thai fighter and this being my main walkout song. Imagine a crowd of drunk fight fans singing with the chorus and riffs like the beginning of the song.
