This Means War Lyrics & Chords By Avenged Sevenfold

Hide my face again, harbour 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 pain, carry me to nowhere
Mental holocaust, battle never ends
Lie, Mask the pain of a child who's forsaken
Lie to my self, 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!

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!
