This Means War is the fourth of ten tracks (eleven on the deluxe version) on Avenged Sevenfold's 2013 album, Hail to the King. The riffs of this song are often criticized for being similar to Metallica, specifically the song Sad But True. Bob Flynn, vocalist for Machine Head, called it out for being an obvious ripoff.
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 pain, 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 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 bloood can strike the cold
On any given day
I'll take it all away
Another thought I can't conotrol
This Means War
This Means War
This Means War
This Means War
This Means War
