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

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

    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

    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.
  • @markbenson4560
    When I attended their concert I was astonished by how much they sound like their album, it's pretty rare anymore especially with all the electronic additions people pump in now days. These guys are the real deal.
  • Man, A7X are absolute legends. I've had this song in my head all day and had to watch the video.
  • @benw4409
    That moment when you're both an Avenged Sevenfold and Metallica fan and you love both This Means War and Sad But True.
  • I just hear some "sad but true" feelings in this song. This is a badass killer track
  • @paulwylie4380
    This song is the embodiment of metal. It strikes the chord of rebellion in all ages.
  • @izamaprilio4041
    Gitaris heavy metal terhebat terkeren dan tertampan di dunia. Itulah synester gates. Melodinya sangat nembus.

    1:21 Nothing but respect for that one fella that tried to go on stage
  • @denis9373
    É de arrepiar ver a bandeira do Brasil no meio de tanta gente! Ainda tem Brasileiros de bom gosto musical
  • @lan260
    I love how the fans go: "Sevenfold! Sevenfold! Sevenfold! Sevenfold!" at the start
  • @mchiemy
    I've tried to go to every A7X concert around here and staying after the show to meet them and fortunately for me, I've met them a few times. The most down to earth guys ever! I love Syn! He was the reason why I started listening to A7X. Coming to and watching this in 2022 is nostalgic!

    Fell in love with this song the first time I heard it back in 2017. Avenged Sevenfold always have and always will kick ass and take names in the metal community. Horns up 🤘🤘🤘🤘.
