AVENGED SEVENFOLD LYRICS - Strength Of The World

"Strength Of The World"



My story starts the day they said "she can't be found"

the news so dark, heart stopped, I stood silent without a sound

It's over, she's finished, mother lies with your father and sister too

Cold-blooded, they suffered, shot down by the outlaws after you

Sorrow swallows my screams



Strength of the world - is on my shoulders

Strength of the world - is on my side

Strength of the world - the one true beholder

Ice in my veins - for those who've died



I've seen my family fade away, you've taken my whole life

There's nothing left to say



Avenge the dead killed all who crossed me in my path

Suicidal, I never planned on coming back

I want it, I need it, revenge is dripping from my teeth

Need nothin', to feel power, and bring the killers to their knees

Nothin' ta lose vengeance ta gain (you know I'll never be the same)

So taste my breath I'm close behind you (so desperate on your final day)

Sorrow swallows my screams



Strength of the world - is on my shoulders

Strength of the world - is on my side

Strength of the world - the one true beholder

Ice in my veins - for those who've died



I've seen my family fade away, you've taken my whole life

There's nothing left to say



Sitting in silence with heaven above me I prayed every night by their graves

While I search for closure I feel it no longer

I can't turn my cheek away

I stand before you; I'll sin when I have to

But now I leave your side, to avenge my family's pride



I've seen my family fade away, you've taken my whole life

There's nothing left to say



Strength of the world - is on my shoulders

Strength of the world - is on my side

Strength of the world - the one true beholder

Ice in my veins - for those who've died



So far forever now alone, a greater punishment on me has been imposed

A killer falling from the light, I'll miss my family, I'll never be alright



That's all she wrote...
