Lyrics Blinded in Chains - Avenged Sevenfold

Blinded in Chains

And we’re at it again, I turn around another fucking war, man
I don’t know where to begin, but I’ll start with the radical leaders
Their steps we’re followin'
Running, don’t go back and fight, too many you’ll lose
(And as clowns you follow suit behind the blood between the red and white and
blue but it’s too deep for you to see and everyone eventually will take the
step cause it’s in sight you take the left I’ll take the right I feel the hate
you’ve built for me and I say pay attention baby)
As they thank the Lord the blind can’t see
Like a plague fed to the brain deadly disease
But it wasn’t a sin, a sorry life in judging every action
And as they’re feeding your mind with this shit you forget
How to speak how to ask all the questions
The business at hand tonight, make the people choose
(I see another side in you but there’s not much more I can do from on the
outside looking in your government is listenin' to push you on the story of
immortal father mortal son give them your mind and all your wealth the cycle
will rebirth itself)
If they had it their way, I’d burn in Hell and your future’s a fuckin' disaster
can’t you see
Don’t give them all the power when your future’s in desperate trouble baby
As they thank the Lord the blind can’t see
Like a plague fed to the brain deadly disease
I’d run away tonight with my mind still intact you gotta make it alright
Easier said than done with no place to hide and having no place to…
Running away from condition, I see you but you’re running away from
Your scared seductive system
Most would claim I live a lie when pointing out it’s easy to predict these
things
Every color has its side, they live together vote and most embrace the same
dark times
Please help us, please save us of course they have control we’re all the same
Up on the cross, crucified their problem drove the nail and let Him rot
Family and friends, it won’t matter in the end I’m sure they’ll understand
Now look at the world and see how the humans bleed
As I sit up here and wonder 'bout how you sold your mind, body and soul
Looking at the fields so green I know this sounds obscene
I see you’re living for tomorrow but decisions you have made will leave you
empty
As they thank the Lord the blind can’t see
Like a plague fed to the brain deadly disease
I’d run away tonight with my mind still intact I’ve gotta make it alright
Easier said than done with no place to hide and having no place to run
You’ve fallen asleep in denial
Look at the way we’re dyin' whoa
How it ends I’ll never know
Just live your life blind like me
