Sidewinder Lyrics
Avenged Sevenfold
Lyrics
I slide through the wasteland, that's my world
My hunger takes your life, preyed on to keep me alive, yeah
Mercy's all that you need, mercy's empty in me
Can't you feel the poison rising
Out of the morning and clear through the night
You can feel my strength destroy you
Straight to the heart from the venomous bite
That's right, I shed my skin tonight but my fangs are hard to hide
And you know that you're going to die, yeah
Mercy's all that you need, mercy's empty to me
Can't you feel the poison rising
Out of the morning and clear through the night
You can feel my strength destroy you
Straight to the heart from the venomous bite
I can't regret, can't escape
Decisions made for me, no control
Fire that burns but never dies, yeah
Wrapped around, I'll bury my fangs inside
Making my way through the night, you're still in my sight
You're runnin' away 'cuz ya know you can't hide
My instincts are cold blooded hate, to you I'm the bearer of fate
Wrong place and now the wrong time, now terror is all that you'll find
Can't you feel the poison rising
Straight to the heart of the venomous bite
Cant you feel the poison rising
Out of the morning and clear through the night
You can feel my strength destroy you
Straight to the heart from the venomous bite
I can't regret, can't escape
Decisions made for me, no control
Fire that burns but never dies, yeah
Wrapped around, I'll bury my fangs inside
Stay inside tonight
You're out there all alone
Vanish from my sites
Venomous control
You won't make it right
My appetite has grown
Lost your final fight
No love will be shown
Stay inside tonight
You're out there all alone
Vanish from my sites
Venomous control
You can't make it right
My appetite has grown
Lost your final fight
No love will be shown
