G is for Gunslinger

Yeah, you've been alone
I've been gone for far too long
But with all that we've been through
After all this time I'm coming home to you

Never let it show
The pain I've grown to know
’Cause with all these things we do
It don't matter when I'm coming home to you

I reach towards the sky I've said my goodbyes
My heart's always with you now
I won't question why so many have died
My prayers have made it through yeah
’Cause with all these things we do
It don't matter when I'm coming home to you

Letters keep me warm
Helped me through the storm
But with all that we've been through
After all this time I'm coming home to you

I reach towards the sky I've said my goodbyes
My heart's always with you now
I won't question why so many have died
My prayers have made it through yeah
’Cause with all these things we do
It don't matter when I'm coming home to you

I've always been true
I've waited so long just to come hold you
I'm making it through
It's been far too long, we've proven our
love over time’s so strong, in all that we do
The stars in the night, they lend me their light
to bring me closer to heaven with you

(Bring me closer)

But with all that we've been through
After all this time I'm coming home to you

I reach towards the sky I've said my goodbyes
My heart's always with you now
I won't question why so many have died
My prayers have made it through yeah
’Cause with all these things we do
It don't matter when I'm coming home to you

And with all that we've been through
After all this time I'm coming home to you

Another A7X song on this list. This one is very interesting. It surprises me how many semi-romantic or religious songs Avenged sings. M Shadows is really an amazing vocalists, as is all the members singing harmony.
When I saw them live in Asheville, this was the song they came back out to (after Synyster had a solo) and it really was powerful. Lighters and cellphones were abound in the air as the members slowly came back out. Synyster led the song in the intro, the Rev joined, then Shadows and Vengence, and finally Johnny came out to play.

The melody on this song is interesting. Almost all of A7X's music is in drop D, and this is no exception. The guitar has a very pretty and melodic intro, followed by very passionate singing. Things turn heavier when Johnny finally enters and drives the song forward.

I definitely recommend listening to this one if you haven't.
