AVENGED SEVENFOLD LYRICS - The Wicked End

"The Wicked End"



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 girl

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
