LIRIK LAGU DANGER LINE

My sixteen, locked and loaded
All fear has been avoided
You say the words and my weapon is drawn

This one could be my last time
Some people call it war crime
I may be staring down a lethal sight

(To die)
Nothing shocks you like a bullet hole
Leaving my fear on the danger line
Suffering a man should never know
Leaving my faith on the danger line

I do this for my family
My daughter loves her daddy
Too many talk down on things they don’t know

With colors never faded
Reckless and unabated
They may take me but never take us all

(I’ll crawl)
Nothing shocks you like a bullet hole
Leaving my fear on the danger line
Suffering a man should never know
Leaving my faith on the danger line

I know what you’re thinking
I’ve been there before
So think of the times, the time we spent laughing away
So think of the times at home
(Life without a care)

Now I find myself in my own blood
(Never thought I’d lay in my own blood)
The damage done is far beyond repair
I never put my faith in up above
(Never had much faith in up above)
But now, I’m hoping someone’s there

I never meant to leave this world alone
I never meant to hurt the ones who cared
And all this time I thought we’d just grow old
You know, no one said it’s fair

Tell my baby girl that “It’s alright”
I’ve sung my last song today
Remind the lord to leave his light on for me
I’m free

LIRIK LAGU CRITICAL ACCLAIM

Shhh… quiet you might piss somebody off
Like me motherfucker you've been at it for too long
While you feed off others' insecurities
You stand in front of me and bite the hand that feeds

Self-righteousness is wearing thin
(Lies inside your head, your best friend)
I'll bleed but not for fellow men
(Broken glass, your fake reflection)

Telling them it's all for something real
Don't respect the words you're speaking
Gone too far
Acclaim

So how does it feel to know that someone's kid
in the heart of America has blood on their hands
fighting to defend your rights
so you can maintain a lifestyle
that insults his family's existence
Well, where I come from we have a special
salute waved high in the air
to all those pompous assholes
who spend their days pointing fingers
(Fuck You)

Shhh… quiet you might piss somebody off
Like the heartbeat of this country when antagonized too long
I'll be damned if you count me in as part of your generous hypocrisy
collected and amazed

Tabloid gossip we want less real
(There's no need for us to bury you)
Selfish agenda once again
(Right this way you've dug your own grave)

Telling them it's all for something real
Don't respect the words you're speaking
Gone too far
Acclaim

All the way from the east to the west we've
got this high society
looking down on their very foundation
constantly reminding us that our actions
are the cause of all their problems
Pointing their fingers in every
direction and blaming their
own nation for who wins elections
They've never contributed a fucking thing to the
country they love to criticize

Excuse the obscene, ignore the untrue
Depictions we see try and get through
Admitting mistakes can hurt
I'm not the last but I sure ain't the first

Shhh… quiet you might piss somebody off

Self-righteousness is wearing thin
(Lies inside your head your best friend)
Heart bleeds but not for fellow men
(Broken glass your fake reflection)

Telling them it's all for something real
Don't respect the words you're speaking
Gone too far
Acclaim

LIRIK LAGU BEAST AND THE HARLOT

This shining city built of gold, a far cry from innocence,
There’s more than meets the eye round here, look to the waters of the deep.
A city of evil.
There sat a seven-headed beast, ten horns raised from his head.
Symbolic woman sits on his throne, but hatred strips her and leaves her naked.
The Beast and the Harlot.

She’s a dwelling place for demons.
She’s a cage for every unclean spirit, every filthy bird
and makes us drink the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings.
Fallen now is Babylon the Great.

The city dressed in jewels and gold, fine linen, myrrh with pearls.
Her plagues have come all at once as her mourners watch her burn.
Destroyed in an hour.
Merchants and captains of the world, sailors, navigators too.
Will weep and mourn this loss with her sins piled to the sky,
The Beast and the Harlot.

She’s a dwelling place for demons.
She’s a cage for every unclean spirit, every filthy bird
and makes us drink the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings.
Fallen now is Babylon the Great.

The day has come for all us sinners.
If you’re not a servant, you’ll be struck to the ground.
Flee the burning, greedy city.
Lookin’ back on her to see there’s nothing around.

I don’t believe in fairytales and no one wants to go to hell.
You’ve made the wrong decision and it’s easy to see.
Now if you wanna serve above or be a king below with us,
You’re welcome to the city where your future is set forever.

She’s a dwelling place for demons.
She’s a cage for every unclean spirit, every filthy bird
and makes us drink the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings.
Fallen now is Babylon the Great.

She’s a dwelling place for demons.
She’s a cage for every unclean spirit, eery filthy bird
and makes us drink the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings.
Fallen now is Babylon the Great.

LIRIK LAGU AFTERLIFE

Like walking into a dream, so unlike what you’ve seen
so unsure but it seems, ’cause we’ve been waiting for you
Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste
of your afterlife here so stay, you’ll be back here soon anyway

I see a distant light, but girl this can’t be right
Such a surreal place to see so how did this come to be
Arrived too early

And when I think of all the places I just don’t belong
I’ve come to grips with life and realize this is going too far

I don’t belong here, we gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife

’Cause this time I’m right to move on and on, far away from here

A place of hope and no pain, perfect skies with no rain
Can leave this place but refrain, ’cause we’ve been waiting for you
Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste
of your afterlife here so stay, you’ll be back here soon anyway

This peace on earth’s not right (with my back against the wall)
No pain or sign of time (I’m much too young to fall)
So out of place don’t wanna stay, I feel wrong and that’s my sign
I’ve made up my mind

Give me your hand but realize I just wanna say goodbye
Please understand I have to leave and carry on my own life

I don’t belong here, I gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife
’Cause this time I’m right to move on and on, far away from here
Got nothing against you and surely I’ll miss you
This place full of peace and light, and I’d hope you might
take me back inside when the time is right

Loved ones back home all crying ’cause they’re already missing me
I pray by the grace of God that there’s somebody listening
Give me a chance to be that person I wanna be
(I am unbroken; I’m choking on this ecstasy)
Oh Lord I’ll try so hard but you gotta let go of me
(Unbreak me, unchain me, I need another chance to live)

I don’t belong here, I gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife
’Cause this time I’m right to move on and on, far away from here
Got nothing against you and surely I’ll miss you
This place full of peace and light, and I’d hope you might
take me back inside when the time is right

LIRIK LAGU ALMOST EASY

I feel insane every single time I'm asked to compromise
‘Cause I'm afraid and stuck in my ways and that’s the way it stays
So how long did I expect love to outweigh ignorance?
By that look on your face I may have forced the scale to tip

I'm not insane, I'm not insane
I'm not insane, I’m not... not insane

(Mother)
Come back to me it's almost easy
(Said it all)
Come back again it's almost easy

Shame pulses through my heart from the things I've done to you
It's hard to face but the fact remains that this is nothing new
I left you bound and tied with suicidal memories
Selfish beneath the skin but deep inside I'm not insane

I'm not insane, I'm not insane
I'm not insane, I’m not... not insane

(Mother)
Come back to me it's almost easy
(Said it all)
Come back again it's almost easy
(You learned your lesson)
Come back to me it's almost easy
(But first you fall)
Come back again it's almost easy

(guitar solo)

Now that I've lost you it kills me to say
(Hurts to say)
I've tried to hold on as you've slowly slipped away
I'm losing the fight, I've treated you so wrong now let me make it right

(Make it alright)

I'm not insane, I'm not insane(evil laugh)
I'm not insane, I’m not... not insane
(Mother)
Come back to me it's almost easy
(Said it all)
Come back again it's almost easy
(You learned your lesson)
Come back to me it's almost easy
(But still you fall)

Come back again it's almost easy


LIRIK LAGU NIGHTMARE

Nightmare

Now your nightmare comes to life.

Dragged you down below
Down to the devils 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
Burn the world your last endeavor

Flesh is burning
You can smell it in the air
Cause men like you have such an easy soul to steal

So stand in line while they ink numbers in your head
Your now a slave until the end of time here

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
Oooooooh
It’s your fucking 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
Loathing 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 you slowly go insane they tell ya
“Given with the best intentions, help you 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
Oooooooh
It’s your fucking nightmare

(Break)

(Maniacal laughter)
Fight. not to fail
Not to fall
Or you’ll end up like the others

Die, die again
Drenched in sin
With no respect for another

Down, feel the fire
Feel the hate
Your pain is what we desire

Lost, hit the wall
Watch you crawl
Such a replaceable liar

And I know your hear their voices
Calling from above
And I know they may seem real
These signals of love
But our 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
Yea
No one to call
Everybody to fear
Your tragic fate
Is looking so clear
Yeah
Oooooooh
It’s your fucking nightmare

LIRIK LAGU M.I.A

Staring at the carnage, praying that the sun will never rise.
Living another day in disguise.
These feelings cant be right,
lend me your courage to stand up and fight, on tonight.

Ooooo....
Stand up and fight.

Now fighting rages on and on, to challenge me you must be strong.
I'll walk your land but don't be long,
two million soldiers cant be wrong.

Its no fun but I've been here before.
I'm far from home and I'm fighting your war.
(Not the way I pictured this, I wanted better things)
Some are scared others killing for fun,
I shot a mother in front of her son.
(Change this from my consciousness and please erase my dreams)

Fight for honor, fight for your life.
Pray to god that our side is right.
You know we won but still we lose,
until I make it home to you.
I see your mother still in tears we grew up
so fast where did those years go.
Memories wont let you cry unless I don't return tonight.

So many soldiers on the other side,
I take their live so they can't take mine.
(Scared to make it out alive now murders all I know.)
Nobody tells me all the reasons were here,
I am a weapon so there's nothing to fear.
(Another day another life but nothing real to show for.)

Fight for honor, fight for your life.
Pray to god that our side is right.
You know we won but still we lose,
until I make it home to you.
I see your mother still in tears we grew up
so fast where did those years go.
Memories wont let you cry unless I don't return tonight.

Staring at the carnage, praying that the sun will never rise.
Living another day in disguise.
These feelings cant be right,
lend me your courage to stand up and fight.

Watching the death toll rise wondering how I'm alive.
Strangers blood on my hands, showed all I can.
There were no sunny nights watching your brothers all die
To destroy all their plans with no thought of me.
(No thought of me)
No thought of me.

Ohhhhh.....

We'll walk the city lonely, memories that are not passing by.
A murderer walks your streets tonight.
Forgive me for my crimes.
Don't forget that I was so young, but so scared.
In the name of God and Country.

LIRIK LAGU GUNSLINGER

I've waited so long just to come hold you
I'm making it through
It's been far too long, we've proven our
love over time's so strong, in all that we do
The stars in the night, they lend me their light
to bring me closer to heaven with you

(Bring me closer)

But with all that we've been through
After all this time I'm coming home to you

I reach towards the sky I've said my goodbyes
My heart's always with you now
I won't question why so many have died
My prayers have made it through yeah
'Cause with all these things we do
It don't matter when I'm coming home to you

And with all that we've been through
After all this time I'm coming home to you

LIRIK LAGU DEAR GOD

A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
Miles away from those I love purpose hard to find
While I recall all the words you spoke to me
Can’t help but wish that I was there
Back where I’d love to be, oh yeah

Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
to hold her when I’m not around,
when I’m much too far away
We all need that person who can be true to you
But I left her when I found her
And now I wish I’d stayed
’Cause I’m lonely and I’m tired
I’m missing you again oh no
Once again

There’s nothing here for me on this barren road
There’s no one here while the city sleeps
and all the shops are closed
Can’t help but think of the times I’ve had with you
Pictures and some memories will have to help me through, oh yeah

Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
to hold her when I’m not around,
when I’m much too far away
We all need that person who can be true to you
I left her when I found her
And now I wish I’d stayed
’Cause I’m lonely and I’m tired
I’m missing you again oh no
Once again

Some search, never finding a way
Before long, they waste away
I found you, something told me to stay
I gave in, to selfish ways
And how I miss someone to hold
when hope begins to fade…

A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
Miles away from those I love purpose hard to find

Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
to hold her when I’m not around,
when I’m much too far away
We all need the person who can be true to you
I left her when I found her
And now I wish I’d stayed
’Cause I’m lonely and I’m tired
I’m missing you again oh no
Once again

LIRIK LAGU SO FAR AWAY

Never feared for anything
Never shamed but never free
A life that healed a broken heart with all that it could

Lived a life so endlessly
Saw beyond what others see
I tried to heal your broken heart with all that I could

Will you stay ?
Will you stay away forever ?

How do I live without the ones I love ?
Time still turns the pages of the book its burned
Place and time always on my mind
I have so much to say but you’re so far away

Plans of what our futures hold
Foolish lies of growing old
It seems we’re so invincible
The truth is so cold

A final song, a last request
A perfect chapter laid to rest
Now and then I try to find a place in my mind

Where you can stay
You can stay awake forever

How do I live without the ones I love ?
Time still turns the pages of the book its burned
Place and time always on my mind
I have so much to say but you’re so far away

Sleep tight, I’m not afraid
The ones that we love are here with me
Lay away a place for me
Cause as soon as I’m done I’ll be on my way
To live eternally

How do I live without the ones I love ?
Time still turns the pages of the book its burned
Place and time always on my mind
And the light you left remains but it’s so hard to stay
When I have so much to say and you’re so far away

I love you
You were ready
The pain is strong enough despite
But I’ll see you
When He lets me
Your pain is gone, your hands are tied

So far away
And I need you to know
So far away
And I need you to
Need you to know

It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we tell you of the passing today of Jimmy “The Rev” Sullivan. Jimmy was not only one of the world’s best drummers, but more importantly he was our best friend and brother. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Jimmy’s family and we hope that you will respect their privacy during this difficult time.
Jimmy you are forever in our hearts.
We love you.

sejarah avenged sevenfold

Avenged Sevenfold (juga dikenal sebagai A7X), adalah band beraliran metal core yang berasal dari Huntington Beach, California.
Mereka berasal dari tempat yang sama dimana kesemuanya kecuali Synyster Gates berasal dari sekolah yang sama, yaitu Huntington Beach High School. Mereka terbentuk di awal tahun 1999 dimana personil awalnya hanya beranggotakan empat orang saja yaitu M.Shadows, Zacky Vengeance, The Rev dan Justin Sane (Bass).

Nama Avenged Sevenfold diambil dari salah satu kisah di dalam bibel. Walaupun mengambil nama dari bibel, M.Shadows mengakui bahwa bandnya tidak terlalu religius ataupun bertujuan untuk menyebarkan suatu kepercayaan religi atau poltik kepada penggemarnya.

Dalam perjalanannya, Avenged Sevenfold sempat berganti aliran dari metal-core menjadi lebih ke arah alternative metal. Rumor yang beredar mengatakan hal ini dikarenakan sang vokalis, M.Shadows harus menjalani operasi akibat pita suaranya yang sobek akibat melakukan scream yang terlalu keras pada sebuah konser. Namun dalam setiap kesempatan wawancara, Avenged Sevenfold sering menyangkal kebenaran rumor ini. Perubahan aliran yang mereka lakukan lebih dikarenakan mereka amat menyenangi melakukan eksperimental dalam bermusik dan ingin melakukan evolusi dalam gaya dan aliran bermusik mereka.

Avenged Sevenfold memiliki lambang yang merekan namakan “Deathbat”. Lambang ini dirancang oleh teman semasa SMA mereka, Micah Montague. Lambang ini selalu muncul di setiap konser mereka dan hampir selalu ada di setiap album mereka.

Album pertama mereka, Sounding the Seventh Trumpet direkam ketika mereka masih berumur 18 tahun. Album ini dirilis dengan label Good Life Recordings, tetapi setelah gitaris Synyster Gates masuk Avenged Sevenfold, album ini dirilis ulang dengan label Hopeless Records. Lagu “To End The Rapture” juga direkam ulang, kali ini ditambahkan dengan permainan gitar Synyster Gates. Dan akhirnya dirilis pada bulan juli 2001. Walaupun yang bermain bass dalam rekaman pembentukan album adalah Justin Sane, namun pemain bass yang tertera dalam CD skin adalah Daemon Ash. Hal ini dikarenakan sesaat sebelum proses mixing album tersebut, Justin Sane dikeluarkan dari band dan digantikan Johnny Christ. Sampai saat ini belum diketahui penyebab terusirnya Justin Sane dari band tersebut.

Pada tahun 2003, mereka pun merilis full-length album kedua mereka yang bertajuk Waking The Fallen. Album ini terjual sebanyak 175.000 copy di Amerika Serikat dan mencapai peringkat 12 di dalam Independent Album Chart di Amerika Serikat.

Album ketiga mereka, City of Evil, rilis di tahun 2005. Album tersebut merupakan salah satu album tersukses dari Avenged Sevenfold. Bahkan album tersebat sempat menduduki posisi 30 dalam US Billboard Chart dan terjual sebanyak 730.000 copy di Amerika Serikat saja. Saat itu Amerika Serikat tengah jenuh dengan musik hip-hop dan pop yang merajalela, lalu Avenged Sevenfold merilis album mereka City of Evil tepatnya pada tanggal 8 Juni, 2005. Hits single Bat Country merupakan lagu metal/rock pertama yang merajai MTV TRL. Mereka mempopulerkan kembali solo gitar dengan duet gitaris Synyster Gates dan Zacky Vengeance yang benar-benar memanaskan area moshpit. Album tersebut mendapat sertifikat gold dan memenangkan predikat Best New Artist in a Video di MTV VMA 2006 untuk lagu Bat Country.

Pada tahun 2007, mereka pun kembali menelurkan album baru yang bertajuk Avenged Sevenfold. Dalam debutnya di Amerika Serikat, album ini menempati posisi ke empat dalam Billboard 200. Album ini terjual sebanyak 94.000 copy di Amerika Serikut dalam kurun waktu satu minggu setelah perilisannya. Awal Agustus 2007, mereka menjalani tur Asia Pasifik mereka, dan sempat mampir di Indonesia dan memainkan lagu mereka pertama kali di depan publik. Lagu yang berjudul Almost Easy tersebut mendapat sambutan hangat dari penggemar di seluruh dunia. Ketika itu band punk Jogjakarta Endang Soekamti didaulat menjadi band pembuka.

Tahun 2008, mereka berpartisipasi sebagai headliners di tour Taste of Chaos bersama dengan Bullet for My Valentine, Atreyu, Blessthefall dan Idiot Pilot. Ketika tour, mereka merekam sebuah DVD yang mengandung 6 lagu baru mereka.

Dan di tahun 2008, mereka merilis sebuah album yang berisi rekaman live concert mereka di Long Beach, California yang bertajuk Live in the LBC & Diamonds in the Rough.

Ciri khas
Ciri khas yang dapat andda nikmati dalam setiap musik mereka adalah nyanyian yang melodik dan screaming, hardcore riffs dan storming drum-beats. Dalam hal bermusik, Avenged Sevenfold banyak dipengaruhi oleh band-band seperti Pantera, NOFX, Misfits, Guns N’ Roses, Metallica, Dream Theater dan Iron Maiden.
Mereka cenderung memainkan nuansa agresif pada vokal, gitar, dan drum (bass tetap statis). Dengan sentuhan yang dinamis, mau keras atau lambat, mereka tetap menggunakan harmonisasi yang luar biasa dan komposisi yang teratur. Sebut saja lagu-lagu yang sedikit melow, seperti Seize The Day dan Dear God, gitarnya tetap di drop Dm seperti halnya metal-metal kebanyakan. Kemudian, ciri khasnya selain komposisi dan drop, Syn memasukkan nuansa sweep picking (arpeggio) di hampir semua lagunya. Keindahan sweep picking yang dipadukan dengan kromatik, slide, dan teknik-teknik lainnya bisa kita dengar di lagu The Wicked End. Kemudian selain itu, tidak lupa juga sentuhan akustik yang membawa suasana seperti di Hawaii, bisa kita dengar di lagu Sidewinder. Tapi, satu lagi ciri khas yang tidak pernah lepas dari mereka, menduetkan gitar Syn dan Zacky, memakai double bass dengan tempo yang beberapa kali lipat beat-nya dari biasanya.
