The Stage Avenged Sevenfold

[Verse 1]
So I arrived naked and cold
A welcome change from the abeyance of a ghost town catacomb
No need for counsel, I appreciate the time, I'm not alone
(Why don't you get my lawyer on the phone?)
There were days these child eyes
Would overlook the ugliness and fantasize
I found my heart for the first time, and I awakened in me
I left myself to navigate, and oh, I felt control
(It seems these sheep have quite an appetite)

[Chorus]
Who is the crowd that peers through the cage
As we perform here upon the stage?

[Verse 2]
As the boy became a man
In came a calm sophistication I can hardly understand
So lost in ego, didn't notice when the time had slipped away
(Yeah, everybody's got a sob story)
Jesus Christ was born to die
Leave it to man to levitate his own to idolize
We're simply sociopaths with no communication, baby
I see your angle, but we're different from our points of view
(So tell me, what's your cross to bear?)
