Strength Of The World

Avenged Sevenfold

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 my 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 kill all who cross 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 thirst for closure I feel it grow 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 miss my family, I'll never be alright

That's all she wrote
