Yeah dude...i remember when this album came out, I was in high school. I would sit in my room and listen to this so many times, and the chorus always gave me goosebumps. Fucking incredible. It still does.
A few years ago in my senior year of Highschool I couldn't come up with an idea for a short story for Creative Writing, then when I was listening to this album this sang came on and the opening line "2 nights ago I was shot, a bullet sank straight through my head, a friend pulled the trigger that silenced me" was all I needed and built a story around it because I wondered why someones friend would shoot them, not sure if that counts as stealing the lyric so much as being inspired by it (seeing as how I didn't copy any of the words in the story) my point is go ahead steal it just know Plagiarism is illegal so maybe don't copy it word for word.
Its also RUclips, not a spelling contest. You should shut the fuck up and sit down with that child shit when someone is paying their respects to such a man.
The single most underrated song in A7X's catalog! God I hope they do a Waking The Fallen 20th anniversary tour, so I can finally hear this track live....
@@BoOgEdYmAn Yea, unfortunately I came here to say exactly this. Matt will never be able to perform these tracks again, his voice is damaged from the years of screams/growls
I love all of A7X's songs/albums, but nothing beats the Waking the Fallen album. Chapter Four, Eternal Rest, Reminissions, I Won't See You Tonight, Second Heartbeat, Radiant Eclipse, etc. are absolute masterpieces.
It’s 2017 they still haven’t and probably never will but I guess it’s okay because Matt would ruin it for me by singing the scream parts in this particular song it would sound strange to sing the scream bits
+SGT EpicSpeed The album bro. Because Rev wrote most of that album in terms of his drum fills. Portnoy just finshed the end. And after that album it just sucked ass. Songs like Hail to the king made me want to vomit. I will admit Shepard of fire is good though, and no I don't hate arin.
I thought Hail to the King (the song) was good, so as Doing Time and Shepherd of Fire. But I do agree the HtK album isn't a good one. Least favorite of them all was This Mean War (and I think we all know why). Didn't say anything about Arin so I don't think you had to say that.
+Cyler s He can still sing like this easily lmao. This only peaks at Bb4. He's sung higher live and still sings higher live, usually going to C5. He can still sing and scream this song. They never played this song live and probably never will for whatever reason.
+ExternusArmy I don't know if he can still scream like this. I saw them back a year or so ago, and he was amazing singing but when he screamed it was kinda weak
TJ Ulrich His voice has been really tired recently so. 2014 was a really tiring year because he would play 1-2 hour shows so many times that his voice was thinning out, both in singing and in screaming.
Radiant Eclipse Two nights ago I was shot A bullet sunk straight through the skull A friend pulled the trigger that silenced me No pain as I awoke, but dead Seeing the face of the man The time as he lays down his gun I knew this was going to take place White silence, so peaceful, so numb No one knows the time they're changing No one will see through You're all gone to me, (gone to me) I've been pulled out to watch from my eternal sleep Intuition and a warning to believe (I will believe) Something was wrong and though I felt I had to stay Moving on seemed to be somber bliss Without one goodbye I watch my mother shed tears No! This gun has stopped time in its tracks Has altered the course of my fate Destiny is shattered and timeless Closed eyes feel the cold winds embrace I'll watch you call, calling for me, You can't bring back time Close your eyes and look away, Fate exposed, won't let me stay Hope will fall tonight with broken wings, Descending entity in me My voice has been taken from me The more I listen, the more I have to say You're all gone to me, (gone to me) I've been pulled out to watch from my eternal sleep Intuition and a warning to believe (I will believe) Something was wrong and though I felt I had to stay Moving on seemed to be somber bliss Without one goodbye I watch my mother shed tears And taste the blood that she cries, And taste the blood that she cries I'll watch you call, calling for me, You can't bring back time Close your eyes and look away, Fate exposed, won't let me stay Hope will fall tonight with broken wings, Descending entity in me Oh yeah Oh yeah Oh yeah
I just love this song so much. That intro is little a huge locomotive building up speed, until BAM! Amazing song with some of the most metal lyrics ever written. Love it.
that's your opinion! Afterlife to me just is poorly written. Boring mainstream lyrics with just really lackluster verses. only part somewhat satisfying is the pre chorus to me lol I'm a naaag
that doesn't make it a good song?? Just because he can play fast on guitar doesn't mean anything. synyster did better work on city of evil as far as guitar solos and what sounds fitting.
I sucked at long distance running. When I joined the army, I kept failing my 2 mile run but would max everything else. On one PT test m, this intro kept playing in my head. I felt my body pumping. I ran a 6:30 mile. Fastest mile for me ever. I know there's better records, but every time I hear this song, that moment comes up for me.

Syn took an extra step with his guitar abilities and hearing the Rev sing on the album makes it fantastic, especially Fiction and seeing it live with an empty piano playing
This whole album is amazing. Even though I don’t listen to metal much any more, I still come back to this album from time to time. It doesn’t get old. RIP Rev.
There was one thing I never understood and that is how the Rev could make it sound like he has two drums sets in some songs and this one started me to think about it and now i dont care i love it. Rip The best drummer ever
i would want to see them in concert with Natural Born Killer, Not Ready to Die, Crossroads, Buried Alive, Bat Country, The Wicked End, Critical Acclaim, Second Heartbeat, Radiant Eclipse, Fiction, I Won't See You Tonight Part 1 and 2, Brompton Cocktail, Lost, So Far Away, A little Piece of heaven. All with the REV in it.
Such a Badass Song!! Heaviest A7X Riff! M. Shadows has such a great voice in the song and The Revs drums are just so clean throughout!! Love it! foREVer
HOLY FUCK every song on this album is FUCKING GREAT! I never even really cared for avenged sevenfold before. But for some reason I am in love with every song here
Avenged Sevenfolds been my favorite band since Waking the Fallen, but The Stage was kinda disappointing it was a pretty meh album, Hail to the King was awful only bought it because it's Avenged Sevenfold, since The Rev passed they've been on kind of a down slide imo they just don't feel like Avenged Sevenfold anymore hell This Means War is a very obvious rip off of Sad But True I'm surprised they got away with making that song, The Stage was a step in the right direction but they need to stop trying to sound like other bands, sorry for the long comment I'm done for now.
The single best thing about surviving this life, is getting to walk my property and listen to waking the fallen on these not less than magical new bluetooth speakers
The first time I heard this song, the chorus gave me chills. The Rev was an amazing song writer.
the rev didn't write a single thing for this band until atleast city of evil
Nolan Brown Wiki... Plus you can tell the style if you compare it to the other songs he wrote.
rock on guys... keep it real
+Noly PB I think the rev worked on chapter 4 tho
Yeah dude...i remember when this album came out, I was in high school. I would sit in my room and listen to this so many times, and the chorus always gave me goosebumps. Fucking incredible. It still does.
"Hope will fall tonight with broken wings"
Beautiful lyric
may I steal this lyrics because it's too goddamn good.
Whoa.. That was very hostile.. no need to be such an asshole
Crammer Jack Lmao his question was a metaphor. Apparently, you share music with the same kind of idiots as yourself.
A few years ago in my senior year of Highschool I couldn't come up with an idea for a short story for Creative Writing, then when I was listening to this album this sang came on and the opening line "2 nights ago I was shot, a bullet sank straight through my head, a friend pulled the trigger that silenced me" was all I needed and built a story around it because I wondered why someones friend would shoot them, not sure if that counts as stealing the lyric so much as being inspired by it (seeing as how I didn't copy any of the words in the story) my point is go ahead steal it just know Plagiarism is illegal so maybe don't copy it word for word.
That's the line I typed in to find this song 😆
My god, those drums!
May he rest in piece. Love you Rev
Tell me about it brother!
Its also RUclips, not a spelling contest.
You should shut the fuck up and sit down with that child shit when someone is paying their respects to such a man.
That intro!!!
+Marco Vidal agree
i can´t believe i didn´t put attention at this song in all these years .....
jackman017m same
same... what a masterpiece.
same
Same
Avenged Sevenfold is their own genre of music and i love that.
I would definitely have to agree with someone.
Someone what are ya listenin to there Bobby....... bawah!!!
Someone Nop, they used to be metalcore, now is heavy metal
Someone ghoddammit bobby
Bruce Brandon Auris it went metalcore
heavy metal
metal/rock
prog metal I believe
The chorus part at 3:16 is so fucking amazing. One of the catchiest and most badass parts of a song ever made.
Sean Rushford yeah the guitar part is really well written there
Gotta be one of the best clean vocal choruses in metaldom.
Agree
“Close your eyes and look away. Faith exposed and won’t let me stay. Hope will fall tonight with broken wings, descending entity in me”
100% agreed
The single most underrated song in A7X's catalog! God I hope they do a Waking The Fallen 20th anniversary tour, so I can finally hear this track live....
He'll never be able to sing this again
@@BoOgEdYmAn Yea, unfortunately I came here to say exactly this. Matt will never be able to perform these tracks again, his voice is damaged from the years of screams/growls
12 days until waking the fallen 20th anniversary, maybe it will happen
I love all of A7X's songs/albums, but nothing beats the Waking the Fallen album. Chapter Four, Eternal Rest, Reminissions, I Won't See You Tonight, Second Heartbeat, Radiant Eclipse, etc. are absolute masterpieces.
I think this is their best metalcore song.
Seyo is this metalcore? I thought only the first was metalcore?
DanK NacHo nah this is totally metalcore
James Gorman for real?
Im more of a heavy, thrash metalhead but this is awesome
It's good. But, I like Chapter 4 better.
Jeff Smith where has he gone what have you done
I was playing Elden Ring while hearing this, defeated Radanh at first try.
Thank you A7X
Waking the Fallen is such an underrated album. It has some of their best talents with both screaming and vocals.
My favorite album for sure, which says a lot because they’re all amazing😂
Waking the falling is the best album ever
Yup it's my favorite album and also nightmare
Fallen*
city of evil is better
I think A7X should throw their fans off and play this live, lol
I believe they do this song on Live @ the LBC... ?
:-)
haha nope! they do unholy confessions only i think
Its been a bit since I watched the LBC show... seeing The Rev in his element always makes me both happy and sad...
rockandrollathon They played both Second Heartbeat and Unholy Confessions. I WISH they'd play this song live :(
It’s 2017 they still haven’t and probably never will but I guess it’s okay because Matt would ruin it for me by singing the scream parts in this particular song it would sound strange to sing the scream bits
Sounds like you are walking through hell in the beginning.
Sounds like the beginning of ksherwoodop's "The One" in guitar. That changes when the other guitar and drums join.
yeahh i think so
Freezing2much Walk With Me In Hell
No No this is just an idea i'm musilment I Really don't wat to go to the hell
fuck off feels like walking thru a forest
So lucky to have seen them befor and right after City Of Evil came out and they played just about the entire record. Both of them
That is special. Hell yeah dude
I wish they play this masterpiece live ...
They did once, I remember it. They did a pretty damn good job of it too.
@@connorism69 when?
one of the most underrated a7x songs
+Henry Wylie Agreed!!!
Everything after nightmare sucks.
Are you referring to Nightmare as an album or as a single?
+SGT EpicSpeed The album bro. Because Rev wrote most of that album in terms of his drum fills. Portnoy just finshed the end. And after that album it just sucked ass. Songs like Hail to the king made me want to vomit. I will admit Shepard of fire is good though, and no I don't hate arin.

its 2014 and i still think The Rev is the best drummer ever live.
+Mason Pearmain Hey look! Generic drummers!
its 2023 and the rev is still one of them
Why can't I seem to stop listening to this album still since childhood???lol 💖💖💖
I especially love this part at 3:15 I like that sound...
The chorus is really refreshing. I like that touch as well
+derper son i like so much that part!
I was painting last night and I just had this album on repeat 4 times. It's so well written.
They should play this song live.
He quit screaming for a while. Now he's screaming properly
+timothy hensel A7X has been better at 2006~~2009
+Cyler s He can still sing like this easily lmao. This only peaks at Bb4. He's sung higher live and still sings higher live, usually going to C5. He can still sing and scream this song. They never played this song live and probably never will for whatever reason.

Radiant Eclipse
Two nights ago I was shot
A bullet sunk straight through the skull
A friend pulled the trigger that silenced me
No pain as I awoke, but dead
Seeing the face of the man
The time as he lays down his gun
I knew this was going to take place
White silence, so peaceful, so numb
No one knows the time they're changing
No one will see through
You're all gone to me, (gone to me)
I've been pulled out to watch from my eternal sleep
Intuition and a warning to believe (I will believe)
Something was wrong and though I felt I had to stay
Moving on seemed to be somber bliss
Without one goodbye
I watch my mother shed tears
No!
This gun has stopped time in its tracks
Has altered the course of my fate
Destiny is shattered and timeless
Closed eyes feel the cold winds embrace
I'll watch you call, calling for me,
You can't bring back time
Close your eyes and look away,
Fate exposed, won't let me stay
Hope will fall tonight with broken wings,
Descending entity in me
My voice has been taken from me
The more I listen, the more I have to say
You're all gone to me, (gone to me)
I've been pulled out to watch from my eternal sleep
Intuition and a warning to believe (I will believe)
Something was wrong and though I felt I had to stay
Moving on seemed to be somber bliss
Without one goodbye
I watch my mother shed tears
And taste the blood that she cries,
And taste the blood that she cries
I'll watch you call, calling for me,
You can't bring back time
Close your eyes and look away,
Fate exposed, won't let me stay
Hope will fall tonight with broken wings,
Descending entity in me
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
I was 16 when this came out. Changed my life..
Something magical starts to happen at 3:00 then at 3:15 Bam musical fireworks everywhere !!!!!
I just love this song so much. That intro is little a huge locomotive building up speed, until BAM! Amazing song with some of the most metal lyrics ever written. Love it.
Truly a Gem that deserves more recognition...
After listening to all their albums and being a long time fan I can conclude that this is their Best Song Ever.
Clairevoyant disease
It sounds like a hard core version of Afterlife.
stop. stop stop stop. we don't speak about any of that trash
CornHub Trash? Afterlife is an amazing song.
that's your opinion! Afterlife to me just is poorly written. Boring mainstream lyrics with just really lackluster verses. only part somewhat satisfying is the pre chorus to me lol I'm a naaag
CornHub Anyone can have their opinion, but what about the solo? That shit is fast as fuck
that doesn't make it a good song?? Just because he can play fast on guitar doesn't mean anything. synyster did better work on city of evil as far as guitar solos and what sounds fitting.

This band is all about the intros. Let me tell ya..
That would be Metallica bro
Nah, Metallica is all about kirk's amazing solos.
Brownd Beanz if we're talking intros, let's just mention exist
TH3WA1KINGBR3AD when you’re intro is 6mins long 😅😅😅😅😅
@@midwestapprentice1904 😂
I have been a fan since 2001 been all over to see them and still I say pure fucking genius!!!!!!!
what did you feel when you ve told that rev was dead?
i listened everything in metal
but hands down this is best album ever made man
Just can't describe
3:50 really got me going
Love the whole song but 3:00 onwards is just simply perfect. What a song!!
this song is total underrated!!! Seriously one of their best!!
I love that ending
My throat hurts from hearing it!
the best part is 0:00-6:10
xD
why wouldn't it be
Fairy tail and a7x, how common is that?
+The Shadow Devil Slayer The best part is when you hit the repeat button to listen to it again :)
+Tommy Walsh they're just like breakfast lunch and dinner lol
The intro to this song is badass
One of the best songs off of "Waking The Fallen"
It's the end of 2023 and it still feel like walking through bridge of hell at the beginning.
Avenged Sevenfold just WOW!!!!
No album has brought me more joy. Honestly just every moment spent idly listening I find myself just smiling and in an amazing mood
This might be the best intro to any song, ever.
I always loved that drum fill at 1:13

This would be a great opening song at concerts and when the beat drops, the curtain falls
I forgot how fucking amazingly metal this was
Dude. I've been living under a fucking rock. WHERE THE HELL DID THIS SONG COME FROM?!?! ITS AWESOME.
its weird how when you age music sounds different than it did before
Dylan Harris nott weird at all
Lol I just had an urge to listen to this song and found in the comments what I thought was one of my old comments....hello brother 😂
This song is just so fucking badass headbangin shit. Love it. I actually go straight to Radiant Eclipse on Waking The Fallen Album :P
Syn took an extra step with his guitar abilities and hearing the Rev sing on the album makes it fantastic, especially Fiction and seeing it live with an empty piano playing
This whole album is amazing. Even though I don’t listen to metal much any more, I still come back to this album from time to time. It doesn’t get old. RIP Rev.
i think this would've made a great soundtrack for the second movie of ghost rider, especially the guitar riff after 1:16
OMG YES!!!

1:33 Foot to the floor.

IMO this song is the perfect metalcore song. Tremendous and powerful screams on verse, beautiful clean vocals on chorus. I love it.
There was one thing I never understood and that is how the Rev could make it sound like he has two drums sets in some songs and this one started me to think about it and now i dont care i love it. Rip The best drummer ever
that's because he double ride it, not many drummer can double ride like the rev
thanks i did not know that
I wish they would do a tour supporting their first 4 albums a d nothing else.
First 3
First 8
Jack dope what's wrong with their self titled album?
Can't go a week without hearing this sick song
Highschool days, memories won't come back
This is one of THE best intros to a metal/metalcore song that I have ever heard.
i would want to see them in concert with Natural Born Killer, Not Ready to Die, Crossroads, Buried Alive, Bat Country, The Wicked End, Critical Acclaim, Second Heartbeat, Radiant Eclipse, Fiction, I Won't See You Tonight Part 1 and 2, Brompton Cocktail, Lost, So Far Away, A little Piece of heaven. All with the REV in it.
waking the fallen is the best album of Avenged Sevenfold,i love this album
This is the best album that they came out with right here
This is my favourite song by these guys. Such a sick song
Honestly, one of my favourites from them. So heavy, so groovy!
their best album in my opinion, the rev's beats are just amazing, and i never get tired of hearing them.
waking the fallen is for sure my favorite CD of a7x
i can pretty mich listen to this entire cd front to back and love every single song
Twelve years ago i was listening this for first time in a hot summer night! It was definitly an eargasm as it still is!
3:48-4:17 is my favourite part!
correction 0:00-6:09
sorry it said 6:09 instead of 6:10
it only plays untill 6:09 it doesn't even play 6:10
This song is seriously badass!
This song
if i could see this, sidewinder, the wicked end, desecrate through reverence, and danger line live, my live would be complete. :)
Avenged doesn't need genre, genre needs Avenged
That drum intro gave me goosebumps
Love this song
That first minute and a half gets me pumped!
Damm the drums in the intro
I'm Hopelessly in love with this song :)
I LOVE THIS SONG
dude the drum fill towards the end of the intro and the rev's screams. god I miss that dude
Such a Badass Song!! Heaviest A7X Riff! M. Shadows has such a great voice in the song and The Revs drums are just so clean throughout!! Love it! foREVer
The chorus of this song makes me feel amazing. This is the best song they ever did with Remenissions and Second Heartbeat.
This is amazing.
my favorite song
This song should be way more well known
HOLY FUCK every song on this album is FUCKING GREAT!
I never even really cared for avenged sevenfold before. But for some reason I am in love with every song here
i think this is there best album
***** for sure! I always thought they were a kind of "generic hard rock" band. But this one blows me out of the water. I hope they make more like it.
