Avenged Sevenfold Currently No. 1 On MTV
For the song "Bat Country," Avenged Sevenfold holds at no. 1. on MTV. Here are some of the lyrics.
"He who makes a beast out of himself, gets rid of the pain of being a man"Caught here in a fiery blaze, won't lose my will to stay.
I tried to drive all through the night,
the heat stroke ridden weather, the barren empty sights.
No oasis here to see, the sand is singing deathless words to me.[Chorus:]
Can't you help me as I'm startin' to burn (all alone).
Too many doses and I'm starting to get an attraction.
My confidence is leaving me on my own (all alone).
No one can save me and you know I don't want the attention.As I adjust to my new sights the rarely tired lights will take me to new heights.
My hand is on the trigger I'm ready to ignite.
Tomorrow might not make it but everything's all right.
Mental fiction follows me; show me what it's like to be set free.
Wow, "show me what it's like to be set free." Are you kidding? You couldn't get a better invitation to join the Way of freedom. Talking to these guys would be easy. If it's freedom that everyone's longing for then why aren't churches talking about real authentic freedom?
I mean, the kind of freedom characterized by fulling living as God designed us to live in complete harmony with Him and his world. The kind of freedom these guys want is actually possible.
Here's more:
Sometimes I don't know why we'd rather live than die, we look up towards the sky for answers to our lives. We may get some solutions but most just pass us by, don't want your absolution cause I can't make it right. I'll make a beast out of myself, gets rid of all the pain of being a man.
If I could only get some extended time with these guys to invite them into hard core freedom, unprecendented and mysterious.
