The first three songs on City of Evil if they didn’t fuck up the transition between Beast and the Harlot and Burn It Down

Avenged Sevenfold - Beast And The Harlot/Burn It Down/Blinded In Chains Uncut

Lyrics:

Kick it

Drag the lake
You won't find me
I've been tempting fate
With my heart beside me

I am the stone below the water
Cold and hard to touch
Just when you think I can't get lower
I turn my back and fuck it up

You can drag the lake
But you won't find me
You can drag the lake
But you won't find me

So come and drag the lake
You'll see I've done some diving
I had some extra weight
With no one to untie me

I am the stone below the water
Cold and hard to touch
Just when you think I can't get lower
I turn my back and fuck it up

You can drag the lake
But you won't find me
You can drag the lake
But you won't find me

I'll stare into the sun
To burn out what I've done
I'll tear myself apart
To see what I've become
Nothing wrong with my depression
My sick and miserable obsession
If I could only get some space
If I could only learn my lesson

If I could only learn my lesson

If I could only learn my lesson

You can drag the lake
But you won't find me
You can drag the lake
But you won't find me
You can drag the lake
But you won't find me
You can drag the lake
But you won't find me

Inspiration: Thinking back to a time when I "fell off the wagon," and the shame I felt in dealing with the aftermath of facing the addiction.

----------- LYRICS ------------

[Intro]
Cracks in the mirror, reflections gone black,
The weight of the world, it’s breaking my back.
I swore to stay clean, but the dark pulled me in,
The battle was lost before it could begin.

[Verse 1]
I’m trapped in this cycle, can’t find my way out,
Suffocating on fear, drowning in doubt.
The shadows are closing, I’m gasping for air,
My demons are laughing, they don’t even care.

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m fighting a war that I can’t seem to win,
Ashamed of the weakness that’s under my skin.
The shame’s like a poison, it’s all I can taste,
But I know deep inside I can’t let it go to waste.

[Chorus]
I fell into the fire, the flames burned me whole,
The ashes of failure now cover my soul.
I broke all my vows, now I’m standing in shame,
But I’ll rise from the embers and reclaim my name.
(and reclaim my name!)

[Verse 2]
The world is a battlefield, I’m losing my mind,
Caught in the crossfire, so lost in the grind.
Every breath is a struggle, every thought is a fight,
But I’m clinging to hope in the dead of the night.

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m fighting a war that I can’t seem to win,
Ashamed of the weakness that’s under my skin.
The shame’s like a poison, it’s all I can taste,
But I know deep inside I can’t let it go to waste.

[Chorus]
I fell into the fire, the flames burned me whole,
The ashes of failure now cover my soul.
I broke all my vows, now I’m standing in shame,
But I’ll rise from the embers and reclaim my name.

[Bridge]
I’m down on my knees, but I’m not giving in,
I’ll fight through the darkness, I’ll cleanse all my sins.
The road may be broken, but I’ll walk it alone,
I’ll conquer the fear and rebuild what I’ve known!
(Rebuild what I’ve known!!)

[Chorus]
From the ashes, I’m rising, I’m forging my fate,
I’ll carry the scars, but I won’t bear the weight.
I’ve fallen, I’ve faltered, but I’m not the same,
Now I stand in the light, and I’m taking my name.

[Outro]
(I'm taking my name!)
(I'm taking my name!)
(I'm taking my name!)

Act Of Corrosion - 14 - Taking My Name

[Verse]
Woke up today, life's got trick's
Yes I mean no I don't need no fix
The World's a puzzle pieces out of place
Smiling big while I run this race

[Verse 2]
Coffee strong but my heart feels light
Minds a rainbow in the dead of night
Navigating chaos with a smile
Ridin' waves goin' mile after mile

[Chorus]
Yes I mean no I'm a walking contradiction
Living on the edge of my self-made fiction
Dance through the fire laugh in the rain
Yes I mean no in this beautiful game

[Verse 3]
Friends keep saying girl make up your mind
But the truth's a treasure hard to find
Living in colors outside the lines
Catch me if you can this life of mine

[Bridge]
Maybe it's madness but it feels so right
Stars shining brightest in the darkest night
No need for answers when you're living free
Yes I mean no is the way to be

[Chorus]
Yes I mean no I'm a walking contradiction
Living on the edge of my self-made fiction
Dance through the fire laugh in the rain
Yes I mean no in this beautiful game

Yes, I Mean No
