Avenged Sevenfold - Blinded In Chains
And we're at it again, I turn around another fucking war, man.
I don't know where to begin, but I'll start with the radical leaders,
their steps we're followin'.
Running, don't go back and fight, too many you'll lose.
(And as clowns you follow suit behind the blood
between the red and white and blue.
But it's too deep for you to see
and everyone eventually will take the step,
'cause it's in sight.
You take the left, I'll take the right.
I fell the hate you've built for me
and I say ‘pay attention, baby’)
As they thank the Lord the blind can't see,
like a plague fed to the brain; deadly disease, woah.
But it wasn't a sin, a sorry life in judging every action.
And as they're feeding your mind with this shit you forget
how to speak, how to ask all the questions.
The business at hand tonight, make the people choose.
(I see another side in you,
but there's not much more I can do
from on the outside looking in.
Your government is listenin'
to push you on the story of immortal father, mortal son.
Give them your mind and all your wealth,
the cycle will rebirth itself) If they had it their way, I'd burn in Hell
and your future's a fuckin' disaster, can't you see?
Don't give them all the power
when your future's in desperate trouble, baby.
As they thank the Lord the blind can't see,
like a plague fed to the brain; deadly disease, woah.
I'd run away tonight
with my mind still intact, I’m gonna make it alright.
Easier said than done
with no place to hide and having no place to…
Running away from condition,
I see you, but you're running away from
your scared seductive system.
Most would claim I live a lie (I live a lie),
when pointing out it's easy to predict these things (predict these things).
Every colour has its side (I have a side),
they live together, vote and most; embrace the same dark times.
Please help us, please save us.
Of course they have control, we're all the same.
Up on the cross, crucified,
their problem drove the nail and let Him rot.
Family and friends, it won't matter in the end,
I'm sure they'll understand.
Now look at the world and see how the humans bleed.
As I sit up here and wonder 'bout
how you sold your mind, body and soul.
Looking at the fields so green, I know this sounds obscene,
I see you're living for tomorrow,
but decisions you have made will leave you empty.
As they thank the Lord the blind can't see,
like a plague fed to the brain; deadly disease, woah.
I'd run away tonight
with my mind still intact, I’m gonna make it alright.
Easier said than done
with no place to hide and having no place to (run).
You've fallen asleep in denial,
look at the way we're dyin'.
How it ends, I'll never know,
just live your life blind like me.
I don't know where to begin, but I'll start with the radical leaders,
