Lyrics
Avenged Sevenfold--M.I.A.
Staring at the carnage, praying that the sun will never rise.
Living another day in disguise.
These feelings can't be right, lend me your courage to stand up and fight, on tonight.
Ooooo....
Stand up and fight.
~MUSIC~
The fighting rages on and on, to challenge me you must be strong.
I walk your land but don't belong, two million soldiers can't be wrong.
It's 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 right in front of her son.
Take this from my consciousness and please erase my dreams
Fight for honor, fight for your life.
Pray to god that our side is right.
Although we won I still may lose, until I make it home to you.
I see our mothers filled with tears we grew up so fast where did those years go
Memories won't let you cry unless I don't return tonight.
So many soldiers on the other side, I take their life so they can't take mine.
Scared to make it out alive now murders all I know.
Nobody tells me all the reasons we're here, I have my weapon so there's nothing to fear.
Another day, another life, but nothing real to show for.
I see our mothers filled with tears we grew up so fast where did those years go.
These feelings can't be right, lend me your courage to stand up and fight.
Watching the death toll rise wondering how I'm alive.
Stranger's blood on my hands, I've shot all I can
There were no silent nights watching your brothers all die
