Anyways, here’s the second instalment of the Words’ Worth series and it has arrived sooner than I expected. This time the spotlight is on ‘Blinded In Chains’ by ‘Avenged Sevenfold’. Don’t bother with the genre coz I didn’t. The song just sounds good and once you’ve read its lyrics you’ll see that it means something too. This single was also featured in EA Games’ Need For Speed: Most Wanted video game.

Now take a look at the lyrics. Be warned, a little profanity exists but purely for emphasizing the emotions.

And we’re at it again, I turn around another ****ing war, man,
I don’t know where to begin, but I’ll start with the radical leaders
Their steps we’re followin’

Running, don’t go back and fight, too many you’ll lose
(And as clowns you follow suit behind the blood between the red and white and blue but it’s too deep for you to see and
everyone eventually will take the step cause it’s in sight you take the left I’ll take the right I feel the hate you’ve built
for me and I say pay attention baby)

As they thank the Lord the blind can’t see
Like a plague fed to the brain, deadly disease A-Whoa!

But it wasn’t a sin, a sorry life judging every action
And as they’re feeding your mind with this sh*t you forget
How to speak and ask all the questions.

A Business is at hand tonight, make the people choose
(I see another side in you but there’s not much more I can do from on the outside looking in your government is listenin’ to
push you on the story of immortal father mortal son give them your mind and all your wealth the cycle will rebirth itself)
If they had it their way I’d burn in Hell and your future’s a ****in’ disaster can’t you see?
Give them all the power when your future’s in desperate trouble baby

As they thank the Lord the blind can’t see
Like a plague fed to the brain, deadly disease

I’d run away tonight with my mind still intact I’m gonna make it alright
Easier said than done with no place to hide and having no place to
Running away from condition, I see but you’re running away from
Your scared seductive system

Most would claim I live a lie (I live a lie)
When pointing out it’s easy to predict these things (predict these things) Every color has its side, (I have a side!)
They live together vote and most embrace the same dark times.(Aaah-ahh) Please help us, please save us, of course they have control we’re all the same.

Up on the cross, crucified their problem drove the nail and let Him rot
Family and friends, it won’t matter in the end I’m sure they’ll understand
Now look at the world and see how the humans bleed, as I sit up here and wonder ’bout and how you sold your mind body and soul!
Looking at the fields so green I know this sounds obscene
I see you’re livin’ for tomorrow but decisions you have made will leave you empty

As they thank the Lord the blind can’t see
Like a plague fed to the brain, deadly disease

I’d run away tonight with my mind still intact I’m gonna make it alright
Easier said than done with no place to hide and having no place to
RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNN!!!!

You’ve fallen asleep in denial
Look at the way we’re dyin’ Whoa-whoa
How it ends I’ll never know whooooa!
Just live your life blind like me!

Yeah, the song is lengthy but worth a listen. You’re free to form an opinion about the message in it and if you want to read a few others’ opinions too, go here.
