Demons
Never was much a believer myself
Until belief became my sanity
The only thing left to hold on to
With nothing to gain and
Everything to fear
Never gonna know why the hell I'm still here
Never was raised to be a thief
Your false accusations set me on guard
Dealing with a power far greater than
I've ever known
Might send me over edge
Might send us over edge
I'll be your God
But I can't promise anything
'Cause I'm just not cut out for this
Take me away
Don't take it away
When demons come
Don't run and hide
Brush them off
Sit back, enjoy the ride
No point in crying out
Save me
'Cause this is life
No one's getting out alive
Never could have picked a better time
To ruin my life
You exceed my expectations
All that strife
Who are you?
What are you?
I'll be your God
But I can't promise anything
'Cause I'm just not cut out for this
Get away
Need you to stay away
When demons come
Don't run and hide
Brush them off
Sit back, enjoy the ride
No point in crying out
Save me
'Cause this is life
No one's getting out alive
Thought I'd never make it out
Alive
Didn't even try to strive
To make myself a better man
They say that God
Must have a plan for me
Must be why I'm still here
Still here...
When demons come
Don't run and hide
Brush them off
Sit back, enjoy the ride
No point in crying out
Save me
'Cause this is life
No one's getting out alive
When demons come
Don't run and hide
Brush them off
Sit back, enjoy the ride
No point in crying out
Save me
'Cause this is life
No one's getting out alive
Until belief became my sanity
The only thing left to hold on to

This was actually the end to the very first Avenged Sevenfold fan fiction I ever wrote. It was penned somewhere around 2009, if memory serves me right, and I'm posting it here for sentimental value.
