Avenged Sevenfold - God Hates Us Lyrics

Artist: Avenged Sevenfold

Album: Nightmare

Genre: Rock

  • Songwriters: Zachary James Baker, Brian Elwin Jr Haner, Matthew Charles Sanders, James Owen Sullivan

Total nightmare, total nightmare

You wanna hear my side?
You need to drown to know
With all the times it hurt me to fuck you
I built a wall with your blood to show

God save us, God save us all
God hates us, God hates us all
Total nightmare, total nightmare

Nothing to heal, no one to wreck
Feel sad or roll now, there is nothing to tell
Nothing drawn, no one to fake
You'll find out sooner that it's just best if we just know our place

My infiltrated mind, my lacerated soul
You took me years, create me, control you
I let myself around with you aside

God save us, God save us all
God hates us, God hates us all
Total nightmare, total nightmare

Armed, rape, kill
Love, hate, fear

You better take your time
(Armed, rape, kill)
You better take it slow
'Cause when you see the one
(Love, hate, fear)
There is nothing left to show

Total nightmare, total nightmare
Total nightmare, total nightmare

    The Rev never told the guys he was going to commit suicide, whomever said that is stupid -_- He had said all his life that he thought he would die before age 30, but he never commited suicide or told anyone he wanted to or was going to. R.I.P Jimmy

    first, a7x is one of my all time favorite bands. they are quite amazing. im very saddened about the rev.

    but i wanted to make a point of clarification in regard to the "god hates us. god hates us all." line. while the band members are christian, this is not a "christian music band" so it is possible the line has nothing to do with god and just sounded good. if it DOES have meaning though:

    the key word would be "all", NOT "hates". they could have said "god smells us. god smells us all." or replaced 'hates' with literally ANY verb and it would have the exact same meaning.

    as saints, they know that god will NEVER forsake us. i think what is meant by the "god hates us. god hates us all." line is that god sees no man as more or less worthy than any other man. sin is sin and every living person is equally guilty. that was the whole point of sending his son to save us afterall. but again, this is assuming the line does have real meaning.

    First of all, the Rev didn't commit suicide... and, secondly, the album wasn't finished before he died. They have demos of songs with him on an electronic drum kit, hence the Nightmare demo that they released. Portnoy took his parts that THE REV had written, and did his best to replicate the Rev's style of drumming. As far as all of the lyrics being about death and suicide, the only songs that they kept the lyrics on from the demos were Nightmare, Danger Line and Fiction. Fiction was written by the Rev from start to finish, with Shadows adding his vocals along side the Rev's. Notice how Nightmare and Danger Line have nothing to do with suicide or death; Danger Line is a war song, much like Gunslinger, or M.I.A. on previous albums. The band had already written lyrics before he died, and changed them based on the events that have unfolded. I'm 100% convinced that his death was accidental, and he had no intentions of killing himself. He had an amazing life, and and amazing fiance, and an amazing band... to throw that away like that is unimaginable.

    RIP.REV

    So I'm already 100% positive the Rev committed suicide and told the band he was going to do it before he did, but to make it look like an accident...i agree with that ,,theres something weird about this album..it always talks about death,,death,,endings,,goodbye´s..etc..ummmmm!

    So I'm already 100% positive the Rev committed suicide and told the band he was going to do it before he did, but to make it look like an accident. Obviously, or the lyrics wouldn't be this way. It's not a coincidence considering the Rev was alive for the album to be finished. This is one of the only ones not about the Rev. So a if anyone knows a song meaning, go for it.

    for all you jesus freaks. "god doesnt hate us" shut the f*** up idiots. thats not even what this song is about. it has nothing to do with god so keep your bible talk to yourself you fucking hipocrtical assholes. sevenfold is an amazing band, especially when you realize their lyrics are deeper than words and mean so much more.

    God does not hate us, if He hated us He wouldn't have sent His Son to die for out sins. Truth is we hate God because we're sinful people. Think about it, we take God's name in vain regularly, yet we don't hear people take Hitler's name in vain. Why not? It's because we are rebelling against a good God, not evil people. You see, every one of us has broken God's commands, we've lied, stolen, lusted, and the list goes on. But "God shows His live for us in this, that while we were still sinners Christ died for our sins" Romans 5:8 and the familiar verse "For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life." John 3:16 Believe in Jesus that God does love you, how ought we to live differently if we believe this? Turn from your sins and put your faith in Jesus. God has made a way for us to be saved, but if we reject it we'll go to hell as judgment. And that would not be because God hates us but because you hated God and rejected His offer of salvation.

    God doesn't hate us we are here as a trial and the people can't be here and in heaven (or hell). In other words people must die.

    this song is awesome and some much pent up anger was released!!!it does make you wonder if "God" really does hate us cos he takes our love ones away from us when there are scumbags like paedophiles still alive for him to take instead!!

    This is awesome - I don't like screaming and yet every time Matt has done it, I've been blown away. From Unholy Confessions to this, I am always so proud of our boys. The Fallen, foREVer.
