Lyrics: Avenged Sevenfold. Nightmare. Buried Alive.

Take the time just to listen
When the voices screaming are much too loud
Take a look in the distance, try and see it all

Chances are that you might find
That we share a common discomfort now
I feel I'm walking a fine line, tell me only if it's real

Still I'm on my way
On and on it goes
Vacant hope to take

Hey, I can't live in here for another day
Darkness has kept the light concealed
Grim as ever

Hold on to faith as I dig another grave
Meanwhile the mice endure the wheel
Real as ever
And it seems I've been buried alive

I walked the fields through the fire
Taking steps until I found solid ground
Followed dreams reaching higher
Couldn't survive the fall

Much has changed since the last time
And I feel a little less certain now
You know I jumped at the first sign
Tell me only if it's real

Memories seem to fade
On and on it goes
Wash my view away

Hey, I can't live in here for another day
Darkness has kept the light concealed
Grim as ever

Hold on to faith as I dig another grave
Meanwhile the mice endure the wheel
Real as ever

And I'm chained like a slave, trapped in the dark
Slammed all the locks, death calls my name
And it seems I've been buried alive

Take you down now
Burn it all out
Throw you all around
Get your fucking hands off me

What's it feel like?
Took the wrong route
Watch it fall apart
Now you're knocking at the wrong gate

For you to pay the toll
A price for you alone
The only deal you'll find
I'll gladly take your soul

While it seems sick
Sober up quick
Psycho lunatic
Crushing you with hands of fate

Shame to find out
When it's too late
But you're all the same
Trapped inside, inferno awaits

Evil thoughts can hide
I'll help release the mind
I'll peel away the skin
Release the dark within

This is now your life
Strike you from the light
This is now your life
Die buried alive

This is now your life
(What's it feel like?)
Strike you from the light
(I'm gladly taking your soul)

This is now your life
(What's it feel like?)
Die buried alive
(I'm gladly taking your soul)

This is now your life
Die buried alive
