Seize The Day
Avenged Sevenfold · Live in the LBC and Diamonds in the Rough [2008]
It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over
I see my vision burn
I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry
These streets we travel on will undergo our same lost past
I found you here, now please just stay for a while
I can move on with you around
I hand you my mortal life, but will it be forever?
I'd do anything for a smile, holding you till our time is done
We both know the day will come, but I don't want to leave you
I see my vision burn
I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry
A melody, a memory, or just one picture
Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over
Newborn life replacing all of us, changing this fable we live in
No longer needed here so where do we go?
Will you take a journey tonight, follow me past the walls of death?
But girl, what if there is no eternal life?
I see my vision burn
I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry
A melody, a memory, or just one picture
Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
Its empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over
Trails in life, questions of us existing here
Don't wanna die alone without you here
Please tell me what we have is real
So what if I never hold you?
Yeah...
Or kiss your lips again?
Whoa...
So I never want to leave you and the memories of us to see
I beg don't leave me
Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over
Trials in life, questions of us existing here
Don't wanna die alone without you there
Please tell me what we have is real
Silence you lost me, no chance for one more day
Silence you lost me, no chance for one more day
Silence you lost me, no chance for one more day
I'm stuck here alone
(Silence you lost me, no chance for one more day)
Falling away from me, no chance to get back home
(Silence you lost me, no chance for one more day)
I'm stuck here alone
(Silence you lost me, no chance for one more day)
Falling away from me, no chance to get back home
