Avenged Sevenfold - The Stage(2016)

[01:39.50] So I arrived, naked and cold
[01:43.07] A welcomed change from the abeyance of a ghost town catacomb
[01:47.33] No need for counsel I appreciate the time I'm not alone
[01:51.96] (Why don't you get my lawyer on the phone)
[01:54.26] There were days these child eyes
[01:57.11] Would overlook the ugliness and fantasize
[02:01.69] I found my heart for the first time and I awakened in me
[02:05.23] I left myself to navigate... and oh I felt control
[02:10.02] (It appears these sheep have quite an appetite)
[02:15.57] Who is the crowd that peers through the cage
[02:22.42] As we perform here upon the stage?
[02:30.79]
[02:36.63] As the boy became a man
[02:40.04] In came a calm sophistication I can hardly understand
[02:44.23] So lost in ego, didn't notice when the time had slipped away
[02:48.89] (Yeah, everybody's got a sob story)
[02:51.19] Jesus Christ was born to die
[02:54.29] Leave it to man to levitate his own to idolize
[02:58.56] We're simply sociopaths with no communication baby
[03:02.06] I see your angle but we differ from our points of view
[03:07.03] (So, tell me, what's your cross to bear?)
[03:12.44] Who is the crowd that peers through the cage
[03:19.14] As we perform here upon the stage?
[03:26.62] Tell me a lie in a beautiful way
[03:33.27] I believe in answers
[03:36.98] Just not today
[03:41.11]
[05:25.51] Hope my wheels don't abandon me now, seein' that I'm out here alone
[05:32.74] I'm runnin' out of fight
[05:39.50] And the wind speaks a comforting voice, guiding me to her arms
[05:47.37] Mother, I'm alright
[05:52.26] It took the birth of sin to snake-rattle the mind
[05:55.77] Before a blow to the head by the gavel of time to wake up
[06:02.67] Won't you wake up?
[06:06.43] When did the walking apes decide that nuclear war
[06:09.90] Was the only solution for them keeping the score? Just wake up
[06:16.83] Can't you wake up?
[06:21.90]
[06:37.80] (You do know this is just a simulation, don't you?)
[06:42.72] Who is the crowd that peers through the cage
[06:49.23] As we perform here upon the stage?
[06:56.64] Tell me a lie in a beautiful way
[07:03.34] I believe in answers
[07:07.01] Just not today
[07:08.42]
