Avenged Sevenfold - 4:00 AM Lyrics






There comes a day when we all find out for ourselves
That once we have the words to say, there's no one left to tell
I know why you're running away.

There's a place where nothing seems to be assembled quite cohesively,
It's all your mind, all your mind
Something little shouldn't feel this way,
We got a million thoughts we can't convey,
It's all your life, all your life!

It's four in the morning, you got one more chance to die
Like beautiful stories the greatest chapters flew right by
There comes a day when we all find out for ourselves
That once we have the words to say, there's no one left to tell
I know why you're running away.

These things don't happen here; another fictional reality
It's all you'll find; all you'll find!
It's just as good as any other day, I'm gonna teach you about mortality
No it's not right, it's not right!

It's four in the morning, you got one more chance to die
Like beautiful stories the greatest chapters flew right by
There comes a day when we all find out for ourselves
That once we have the words to say, there's no one left to tell
I know why you're running away.

In many ways I guess I'll never let you go.
I'm close behind but I've got room here left to grow,
Until our second chance, just enjoy the dance, and find out who we are
(These dreams will never leave you)
Let's find out what we are,
(These dreams will never leave you)
Never leave you asking why.

It's four in the morning, you got one more chance to die
Like beautiful stories the greatest chapters flew right by
There comes a day when we all find out for ourselves
That once we have the words to say, there's no one left to tell
I know why you're running, I know why you're running away!

  12. S.... H....

    Radiant eclipse

    A7X foREVer ♥!

  22. H.... K....

    no matter who you are, where you've been and what you've been through as long as u are into this music your family. just cause we ain't related don't make us family and tbh the rev started this family.

  25. E.... T....

    it'd kick ass to party with A7X

  26. E.... M....

    On my drives on the highway, ima play this at 4:00 am. My new rule.

  27. B.... ....

    Matt's voice is soothing in the beginning of the song. It's even better when complemented with Syn's melody and piano sound at the back

  28. J.... ....

    The beginning riff sounds like it could lead right into Strength of the World's

  29. S.... Y....

    They really need to release diamonds in the rough. It’s by far their best album.

  30. E.... D....

    This song is similar to lost it all a little bit

    E.... D....

    They are both Nightmare bonus tracks.

  31. M.... D....

    I have seen this in a vision. Daybreak brings the new life.

    Listening at 1am...lol and because of these visions that I've seen, I'm writing a book about them. Seen this one... Thanks guys

  32. A.... T....

    I'm listening to this at 3 in the morning

  33. A.... A....

    I fucking forgot about this song this is bad ass a7x

  34. x.... a....

    This song is underrated

  35. R.... G....

    Do this song for a episode of breakdown🙌

  36. B.... M....

    WHERE MY EST BOYS AT

  37. S.... H....

    What album is this on?

    S.... H....

    Welcome To The Family Single

  38. a.... ....

    One of the best A7X songs! Is a shame that just few people know it :(

  39. J.... F....

    Someone pointed out that his voice is nasally and I cant get over now

    J.... F....

    It's because he used incorrect techniques in his earlier works. Still great for self taught, but before The Stage he recieved professional help to prevent hurting himself again. You can really tell the difference now.

    J.... F....

    @Tomorrow Awaits Funny enough, I actually think his vocals on The Stage are his worst output yet. I'm glad that he got training and hopefully he won't have to undergo another surgery, but when he tries to sing in higher keys it just... doesn't work for me.

    J.... F....

    @Tomorrow Awaits This is not true he hurt his voice in 2003/04 had a surgery and started working with Ron Anderson who is considered one of the best if not the beast vocal coach in the world. Since than he did become a little more nasally but developed a technique that made him one of the best singers in the world.

    J.... F....

    @Dustin Neems luckily I'm not the only one who thinks that. His voice is so strained and awful there, It's gotten worse since self-titled release I think.

  40. I.... A....

    I’m the only family that knows that song.

  41. m.... ....

    a7x is the only band where it can go from almost heavy metal to soft rock within seconds and still sound beautiful.

  42. I.... R....

    51 soccer moms disliked this

  43. M.... V....

    Fun fact: I've listened A7X since 2005, but I NEVER heard this song.

    M.... V....

    Jstage D Yeah I just discovered the Diamonds In the rough album the other day lol

    M.... V....

    One of my all time favorite albums in any genre by any artist!

    M.... V....

    I love the harmony! 💜

  44. R.... R....

    Who’s listening at 4:00 AM?

  45. T.... G....

    Ya know whats funny? I was born at 4 am and I plan to kill myself at 4 am

    B.... B....

    I'm going to to come back to this comment at 4 am

  50. Z.... K....

    "There comes a day when we all find out for ourselves that once we have the words to say, there's no one left to tell" something about that statement that is as beautifully profound as it is true

  51. C.... J....

    Confirmamos canción más infravalorada del grupo?

  52. P.... ....

    "Like a beautiful story the greatest chapters flew right by" I don't know what it is but it's the best part

  53. K.... 2....

    If people who like rap pop and country music come here why dislike it you know your not going to like it and it could make a7x sad we aren’t liking their music but we do

  54. W.... P....

    M.... M....

    Michael Myers wtf

  73. D.... S....

    Ok, so metal head question, the first three notes of the actual electric guitar, there is a song that plays those three notes in a rift going down in pitch as like, the main rift, and I can't for the life of me remember what song it is, any help?

    D.... S....

    Sounds like a bullet for my valentine song... hearts burst into fire maybe?

    D.... S....

    Dreyke Smith I think Strength of the World is the song you’re looking for

    D.... S....

    @Brady White yes, it was, thank you so much, I can't believe it didn't dawn on me, and I was sure that it was either avenged or metallica, that was bugging me cause I could only think of the rift

  74. F.... N....

    Just found this at 4 am

  75. T.... S....

    A7X 💀BATS

  76. T.... G....

    I, love this so damn much.

  77. C.... ....

    Fun fact: The Rev actually came up with the line "It's four in the morning, you got one more chance to die" one time when he arrived to the studio when they were writing the album.

    C.... ....

    Rip The Rev❤️

  78. R.... M....

    24 people didn't wanna stay up 'till 4:00am

  79. s.... ....

    i totally forgot about this song!!!

  80. U.... ....

    This is a song I just found out about and I listen to every album lol

    U.... ....

    UnknownGamer same lmao

  81. T.... O....

    Song had me headbanging hard

    T.... O....

    Liam Porter naw thats animal abuse i headbang without killing chickens

    T.... O....

    Liam Porter now if you wanna fight 1v1 me on mw3 and ill kill yr gay ass while headbanging to this song

  82. P.... N....

    if you haven't noticed notice that bass line is the same as shepherd of fire towards the beginning of the song.

  83. N.... ....

    Ima say the songs meaning is that the rev died 4 in the morning

    N.... ....

    The name of the song comes from one time during the making of the album when he got to the studio and yelled "It's four in the morning, you got one more chance to die!" But from what I've heard, he may have actually died a bit later than 4 A.M because the paramedics tried to revive him when they got to the hospital and weren't successful. The band would've known much earlier if he had died around that time.

    N.... ....

    The song is about contemplating suicide to join a loved one that passed away

  84. H.... O....

    On a 30+ hour drive rn and it's 4am

  85. E.... P....

    Love this song

    C.... C....

    There you are, comment section lyric person. I appreciate you lol

  89. T.... E....

    Oh man when the guitars come in my adrenaline starts pumping!

  90. T.... H....

    Why was this not on the album?

    T.... H....

    Takoda Hager it was on the Welcome to the Family 3 song album rather than Nightmare. Not sure why but I heard that originally this was supposed to be in place of Welcome to the Family on Nightmare

  91. J.... F....

    Why Wasn't This Released On The Album??

    J.... F....

    I guess the band didn't think it was good enough. I think the song is pretty great though.

    J.... F....

    Written before most of the songs in Nightmare I guess

    J.... F....

    It was an exclusive from diamond in the rough from live in the LBC

  92. C.... C....

    3 dislikes?

    Avenged Sevenfold is my childhood

    A.... M....

    I'm sorry

    A.... M....

    Avenged Sevenfold is my adulthood... I'm a college student, and I've only started listening to them recently.

  95. S.... S....

    A couple months ago I went on a A7X marathon.... YouTube recommended I do it again.

    S.... S....

    I am almost always on an a7x marathon.

    S.... S....

  96. n.... ....

    3 hours till 4am in CALI

  97. M.... V....

    I love this little EP! I remember getting it on my kindle when it first came out years ago and listening to it nonstop. 4:00 AM is one of the most underrated A7X songs, and the artwork on this EP is one of my favorite A7X cover arts.

    M.... V....

    I saw the blue numbers and clicked it thinking it was part of the song you liked but I read the rest of your comment

  98. S.... ....

    why do they keep re-uploading like almost all of their songs?

  99. M.... Y....

    I'm going to see them for the first time on the 28th also my first concert

    M.... Y....

    They are so good to see live. I seen them at Carolina Rebellion and it was my first concert and it was awesome! Have fun!

    M.... Y....

    They are FANTASTIC live. Have a great time!!!

    M.... Y....

    i was supposed to see them on august 2nd but then two days before the concert m.shadows fucked up his vocal chords

    M.... Y....

    My bf got to meet them at rock on the range back in 2011
