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
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 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
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
Seeing that I'm out here alone
I'm running 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
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
