Lyrics:
Hide my face again, harbor in the shadows
Feel this weight of sin hammering away
Die with the guilt of a thousand AWOL soldiers
Die, watch the scythe usher me astray
I can’t go on this way, not as I am today
The ugly side of me is strong
Take aim, a loaded gun, pull back on all who run
A coward’s truth inside the wrong

This means war
This means war
This means war

Lash your tongue of bane, carry me to nowhere
Mental holocaust, battle never ends
Lie, mask the pain of a child who’s forsaken
Lie to myself, praise the new regime
I left me long ago, reasons you’ll never know
No one to miss me when I’m gone
With no more words to say, no argument to stay
Another post I don’t belong

This means war
This means war
This means war
This means war
This means war

No home to call my own
No finding someone new
No one to break the fall
No one to see me through
No name to carry on
No promise for today
No one to hear the call
No tattered flag to raise

Walk the razor’s edge cut into the madness
Question all you trust buy into the fear
I see the man ripping at my soul now
I, I know the man, I know him all too well
There’s nothing here for free, lost who I want to be
My serpent blood can strike so cold
On any given day, I’ll take it all away
Another thought I can’t control

This means war
This means war
This means war
This means war
This means war

When you have been an old Metallica, GNR, Bon Jovi, AC/DC, Aerosmith fan, and your 14 year old son introduces you to this band... priceless. To my credit i introduced him to heavy metal.

[Jarhead]

I did 2 tours, My first in Iraq, and the other in Afghanistan. Before, my father who was a Vietnam Vet never really talked about what he went through over there, that is until I came home from my first tour. It's funny how war can bring a father and son closer together. He was a classic rock kinda guy but I got him into A7X. He loved this song especially. He passed away, and now I'm having a beer, blasting this, and remembering him. Semper Fi

[benw]

That moment when you're both an Avenged Sevenfold and Metallica fan and you love both This Means War and Sad But True.

[crystalfranklin]

Man, A7X are absolute legends. I've had this song in my head all day and had to watch the video.

[tylerloupis]

You people need to calm the fuck down. A7X isn't copying them, they are paying tribute to them. I personally like both Metallica and Avenged Sevenfold.

[gilmourdimegates]

Imagine being a guitarist and the crowd singing along with your riffs!

[slipknotfan]

The crowd singing with the guitar was badass

[shaggydpe__]

4:47 love how he has a ghost tshirt both my fav bands mixed

[brandonmoakley]

Synyster Gates is fucking incredible with his guitar. That drummer, who sadly replaced their fucking rad dude. He sheds, when we lose the one's we love....life and killer music continues. RIP Rev, you'd be super proud of your friends ❤

[filippojacucci]

I just hear some "sad but true" feelings in this song. This is a badass killer track

[izamaprilio]

Gitaris heavy metal terhebat terkeren dan tertampan di dunia. Itulah synester gates. Melodinya sangat nembus.

[jamerson]

As a 53 yr old metal dude, this band liberally checks every box. The definition of true professionalism from a band!

[alexandrualin]

When I'm hearing this people singing, I feel a great emotion, world it's mine, when we scream together we are the great force of music which unit us. THIS MEANS

[thedbq]

2:06 that dude was legit crying buckets

[IcallNukamari]

Anak jaman sekarang gak tau rasanya saat maen warnet, tiba tiba emak datang bawa senjata andalannya, disitulah kata kata mutiara emak keluar sambil pegang sapu lidi "balik sia gera mandi gera ka masjid ulin te ngadele waktu" dan matanya pun bersinar seperti lampu filip 20 wat😂
Salam dari Rangkasbitung Banten🙏

[ryleeholt]

If your a true Avenged or Metallica fan you'll know that Metallica was a big inspiration on Avenged, and you'll also know that they are all really good friends. They do alot of touring together. When Metallica did a tour in 2018 with Avenged and Volbeat they specifically asked Avenged to do the tour with them.

I love how the fans go: "Sevenfold! Sevenfold! Sevenfold! Sevenfold!" at the start

[Aries_Art]

So fucking powerful song! Look at all those people, this is a true brotherhood, true family!
Thre's no such other feeling like beinh inside the crowd, surrounded by people who feel the same, watcing your idols - the people who play your inner sound and speak your mind out!

[andreamontpas]

This is my favorite Avenged Sevenfold song. They are out cold with their lyrics
