Strength Of The World Lyrics

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
Avenged the dead killed 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 search for closure I feel it no 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'll miss my family, I'll never be alright

Tell Us What These Lyrics Mean To You...

thaa7xlover, i think because you hear 'That's all she wrote.' At the end of the song, its about a girl who had her whole family taken away from her by criminals and she went insane and went on a rampage ****ing the people she blames for her family's deaths. The first line says to me that her mother was kidnapped or ****ed in a way that the police can't find her. The 'Shot down by the outlaws after you' makes me think she was in big trouble with someone and they took her family away from her to make her pay. The praying everynight by their graves line, says to me that she does not blame god for this, and seeks a sort of guidance in her 'journey'. The 'I'll sin when i have to.' puts across the feeling that she is not insane, although i could be argued that she is, but in fact only wishes to revenge her family by ****ing the criminals. The last few lines seem obvious to me, She's finally realised that ****ing the people that ****ed her family wasn't the best of options, and now she is in jail, whether a mental hospital or just normal jail, a greater punishment is imposed in that she does not have anymore family and has to spend (most likely) the rest of her life in jail. lol, long winded much? Thought i'd explain it more =) -US.
