Buried Alive
Avenged Sevenfold Lyrics

Take the time just to listen
Spend time to listen carefully and attentively

When the voices screaming are much too loud
When the noisy voices around you are overwhelming

Take a look in the distance
Observe what lies ahead and beyond

Try and see it all
Strive to comprehend and understand everything

Chances are that you might find
There's a possibility that you could discover

That we share a common discomfort now
That we both share the same feeling of unease or discomfort

I feel I'm walking a fine line
I sense that I'm being careful and cautious with my actions

Tell me only if it's real
Inform me with the truth and the facts

Still, I'm on my way
Nevertheless, I'm still progressing in my journey

(On and on it goes)
(The cycle continues)

Vacant hope to take
Empty optimism to seize

Hey, I can't live in here for another day
Hey, I can't continue living in this situation anymore

Darkness has kept the light concealed
The gloominess has hidden the brightness

Grim as ever
As terrible and unpleasant as always

Hold on to faith as I dig another grave
Persist in having faith while I continue with my struggles

Meanwhile, the mice endure the wheel
In the meantime, the people carry on with their monotonous lives

Real as ever
As authentic and genuine as before

And it seems I've been buried alive
It appears as though I'm trapped and confined without any escape

I walked the fields through the fire
I overcame many obstacles and endured through difficult circumstances

Taking steps until I found solid ground
Making progress until I arrived at a stable and secure platform

Followed dreams, reaching higher
Pursued aspirations, rising to greater heights

Couldn't survive the fall
Was not able to withstand the decline or downfall

Much has changed since the last time
Many things have transformed since the previous moment

And I feel a little less certain now
And I'm a bit less confident and assured now

You know, I jumped at the first sign
You know, I acted hastily at the initial indication

Memories seem to fade
Recollections appear to dissipate

Wash my view away
Cleanse my perspective and outlook

And I'm chained like a slave
And I'm restrained like a captive

Trapped in the dark
Confined in the obscurity

Slammed all the locks
Shut tight all the locks

Death calls my name
The specter of death summons me

Take you down now
Bring you down now

Burn it all out
Let everything burn to ashes

Throw you all around
Flung around recklessly

Get your fucking hands off me
Remove your hands away from me

What's it feel like?
How does it feel?

Took the wrong route
Chose the incorrect path

Watch it fall apart
Observe it crumble and disintegrate

Now you're knockin' at the wrong gate
Now you're appealing to the wrong person

For you to pay the toll
For you to bear the consequences

A price for you alone
A cost that you must solely pay

The only deal you'll find
The solitary agreement you will encounter

I'll gladly take your soul
I will happily seize your spirit

While it seems sick
Even though it appears reprehensible

Sober up quick
Become clear-thinking rapidly

Psycho lunatic
Crazy and deranged individual

Crushing you with hands of fate
Overwhelming you with the power of destiny

Shame to find out when it's too late
Regrettable to discover when it's already too tardy

But you're all the same
But each one of you is identical

Trapped inside, inferno awaits
Confined indoors, firestorm lies ahead

Evil thoughts can hide
Malevolent thoughts can conceal

I'll help release the mind
I'll aid to free the mind

I'll peel away the skin
I'll strip off the skin

Release the dark within
Unleash the darkness that's inside

This is now your life
This is your current existence

Strike you from the light
Remove you from the illumination

Die buried alive
Perish while being entombed
