Shepherd Of Fire
Avenged Sevenfold Lyrics

Lets take a moment and break the ice
Let's pause and start a conversation.

So my intentions are known
To clear any doubts, I'll tell you what I'm here for.

See I pity in watching you suffer
Observing your pain brings me sorrow.

I know the feeling of feeling of being damned alone
I can relate to the isolation and desolation you feel.

I got a storybook of my own
I've lived through my own narratives and experiences.

Don't you see I am your pride
I represent your sense of accomplishment.

Agent of wealth
I facilitate your wealth and prosperity.

Bearer of needs
I fulfill your requirements and necessities.

And you know it's right
You are assured that I am correct.

I am your war
I lead and protect you in battles.

Arming the strong
I empower the able and the mighty.

Aiding the weak
I assist and support the feeble and the meek.

Know me by name
Remember and recognize me by my identity.

Shepherd of fire
A leader who guides and directs you amidst blazing chaos.

Well I can promise you paradise
I can guarantee you a heaven-like state of being.

No need to serve on your knees
You don't have to grovel to gain my favor.

And when you're lost in the darkest of hours
When you're trapped in your bleakest moments.

Take a moment and tell me who you see
Reflect and reveal whom you turn to seek help.

Won't tell ya who not to be
I won't instruct or impose whom you should avoid in life.

Disciple of the cross and champion in suffering
I follow and advocate the Christian faith and endure severe hardships.

Immerse yourself into the kingdom of redemption
Get completely involved in the process of seeking salvation.

Pardon your mind through the chains of the divine
Free your conscience through the control and guidance of God.

Make way, the shepherd of fire
Clear the path, for I, the leader amidst flame, am coming through.

Through the ages of time
Throughout history and eternity.

I've been known for my hate
I've earned a reputation for my animosity.

But I'm a dealer of simple choices
Despite my complex image, I provide straightforward options.

For me it's never too late
I believe it's always possible for a change of heart.

I am your wrath
I embody your anger and vengeance.

I am your guilt
I represent your remorse and regret.

I am your lust
I symbolize your desire and craving.

I am your love
I stand for your affection and devotion.

I am your stall
I denote your delay and obstruction.

I am your trust
I indicate your reliability and faith.

Know me by name
Remember and recognize me by my identity.

Shepherd of fire
A leader who guides and directs you amidst blazing chaos.
