The Wicked End - Avenged Sevenfold

Man’s becoming more corrupt now

Godless, wicked, and cruel

The soulless man stood silenced

Mary’s words rang so true

Chastisement worse than the flood

Spread the word, it’s all through

Don’t kill the messenger 'cause

As if we haven’t swam enough in this life of misery

Voice your prophecy, shed us some light

Feel sorrow for mankind’s chance to survive

Swallowed lies and swam in our own tears

A stab in the dark but it wounded our will

We won’t be here tomorrow

Hold on to me for one last time

We’ve grown into the numbers

Six hundred, sixty six

War breaks, a sign of the end

Eternally expelled

Look to the sky for knowledge

The stars align tonight

Eclipse and heaven shall fall

Now I know I’ve seen it all in my life of misery

Voice your prophecy, shed us some light

Feel sorrow for mankind’s chance to survive

Swallowed lies and swam in our own tears

A stab in the dark but it wounded our will

Dust the apple off, savor each bite

And deep inside you know Adam was right

Lust and power, indulgence, no fear

Left with his sins, how does this end?

We won’t be here tomorrow

Hold on to me for one last time

As the prophets shed the light

On what’s to come, the crowds did gather

Your time is precious, they explained

No time to worry, messiah’s coming

Don’t go to sleep tonight, darling

Hold me in your arms

These will be our final days

And I can’t let go

Walls are falling

Churches burning

Women ravaged

Children crying

Flesh is tearing

Some still fighting in this world of misery

Voice your prophecy, shed us some light

Feel sorrow for mankind’s chance to survive

Swallowed lies and swam in our own tears

A stab in the dark but it wounded our will

Dust the apple off, savor each bite

And deep inside you know Adam was right

Lust and power, indulgence, no fear

Left with his sins, how does this end?

We won’t be here tomorrow

Hold on to me for one last time
