Hell Or Highwater Go Alone
Avenged Sevenfold · Other Songs - Avenged Sevenfold
some men don't need a reason why
some people find it hard to understand
fact is some people need to die
revolver cold
as the stories told
his wife and children cried
as i left them all alone
we all know we cant live forever
so
Pray for me
cuz i've been searching for heaven while running from hell
when death finds me
ill go alone
its been a while since i closed my eyes
since i could call myself a man
just one more morning that the sun would rise
a strangers blood upon my hands
my hearts turned to stone
i find myself alone
with no-one to hear my cries
did they all deserve to die?
i know i wont live forever
Pray for me
cuz i've been searching for heaven while running from hell
and now i see
what lies ahead of me
i know ill be forgotten while all of my sins catch up with me
ill go alone
i saw the sweat and fear
my gun between his eyes
he feels the angels near and starts to realize
he's met the man who's got the devil by his side
i pull my trigger and
my darkness becomes his light
i don't know why
i killed so many times
its the evil deep inside me
thats made me realize
that i know i wont live forever
so
Pray for me
cuz i've been searching for heaven while running from hell
and now i see
what lies ahead of me
i know ill be forgotten while all of my sins catch up with me
ill go alone
