Avenged Sevenfold - Nightmare Lyrics

Nightmare!

(Now your nightmare comes to life)

Dragged you down below down to the devil's show,
To be his guest forever,
Peace of mind is less than never
Hate to twist your mind, but God ain't on your side
An old acquaintance severed,
Render of your last endeavor

Ashes burning, you can smell it in the air,
Cause men like you have such an easy soul to steal.
So stand in line while banging numbers in your head,
You're now a slave until the end of time
And nothing stops the madness turning,
haunting, yearning, pull the trigger!

You should have known
The price of evil,
And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah
Oooh, it's your fuckin' nightmare
While your nightmare comes to life

Can't wake up in sweat, cause it ain't over yet,
Still dancing with your demons,
Victim of your own creation beyond the will to fight,
Where all that's wrong is right
where hate don't need a reason
Love is self-assassination

You've been lied to just to rape you of your sight,
And now they have the nerve to tell you how to feel.
So sedated as they medicate your brain
And while ya slowly go insane the tell you
Give in with your best intentions
Help ya with your complications

You should have known the price of evil
And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah
No one to call, everybody to fear
Your tragic fate is looking so clear, yeah.
Oooo it's your fuckin' nightmare ha ha ha ha!!

(ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
Fight, fight, not to fail, fail
Not to fall, fall
Or you'll end up like the others.
Die, die, die again, die
Drenched in sin, sin
With no respect for another
Oh!

Death, You!
Feel the fire, fire
Feel the hate, hate
Your pain is what we desire.
Lost, lost, hit the wall, wall
Watch you crawl, crawl
Such a replaceable liar.

And I know you hear their voices
(calling from above),
And I know they may seem real
(these signals of love),
But a life's made up of choices
(some without appeal),

They took for granted your soul
And it's ours now to steal
As your nightmare comes to life

You should have known the price of evil
And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah.
No one to call, everybody to fear,
Your tragic fate is looking so clear, yeah
Oooh it's your fuckin' nightmare!
