Dancing Dead
Avenged Sevenfold · Live in the LBC and Diamonds in the Rough [2008]
Dead men
They celebrate
As the final chapter fades away
'Cause they can't hide
We can see their flesh is rotten
The band plays a hopeful tune
The champagne is poured
As they socialize
The look in their eyes
Hide in the light
Everything is paid for tonight
While at the party of the
Dead dancin' in their graves
The drinks here are free so relax
Enjoy the sight of all the
Dead dancin' in their graves
And while the world that they built
Told them to change
Told them to listen
They just kept it the same
And now that midnight has come
I'll get a room watchin the
Dead dancin' in their graves
Bones covered up by suit
As the visible scars
They multiply
Kiss it good bye
Too stubborn and I'll destroy
Tick, tock
The time bomb has been
Recognized and pressurized
Nowhere to hide
Swallowing light
Everything is paid for tonight
While at the party of the
Dead dancin in their graves
The drinks here are free so relax
Enjoy the sight of all the
Dead dancin' in their graves
And while the world that they built
Told them to change
Told them to listen
They just kept it the same
And now that midnight has come
I'll get a room watchin the
Dead dancin' in their graves
Feel, feel a coming strength
And now it's too late
To change
(background chatter & guitar solo)
Why'd you have to go ...
You told me that's all that you know ...
Oh what a mighty fall ...
Yeah
Everything is paid for tonight
While at the party of the
Dead dancin' in their graves
The drinks here are free so relax
Enjoy the sight of all the
Dead dancin in their graves
And while the world that they built
Told them to change
Told them to listen
They just kept it the same
And now that midnight has come
I'll get a room watchin the
Dead dancin in their graves
Feel, feel a coming strength
And now it's too late
To change
Feel, feel a coming strength
And now it's too late
To change
