Avenged Sevenfold - Crossroads Lyrics
I've been traveling for so long
So lost till I stumbled upon
Two roads in front of me, I had to take my time
To the right I could see a church
I took a step in that direction first
Where they were whiskey drunk
And now that's where I wanna pray
The fight down here goes on and on
If I was perfect then this would be easy
Either road is plausible on both I could drown
I walk through the center with no rules to guide me
I realize it's difficult but now I can see
A way that's much more feasible
A combination of both these lives,
A central path without choosing a side
I make decisions one at a time
And no I never say I'm always right
I'm confident that when I stand on my own
You'll see the truest form of a man when I'm shining through
The fight down here goes on and on
If I was perfect then this would be easy
Either road is plausible on both I could drown
I walk through the center with no rules to guide me
I realize it's difficult but now I can see
Oh, I hear them now
All the religious rhyme
You're a sin, you're a sin, you're a sinner.
The left isn't better
It's just more of the same
Condemning all these people for what they believe
I'll climb to the top of their mountain again
No harness up to save me this way
And the closer to the top I get
The more they take aim
But I'm not you
I may not be perfect but I've always been true
I may not be worthy in your eyes
Climb up from the bottom for the last time,
The last one, the last one, the last time
If I was perfect then this would be easy
Either road is plausible on both I could drown
I walk through the center with no rules to guide me
I realize it's difficult but now I can see

Has one of the best riffs
This music suc
I love this b side. Every song is a story in it's own right. Get this on Spotify please
Mantab gan
One of their best songs IMO 🖤
They should’ve taken Lost off the album and put this song on
I listened to this when I was 12, not realizing that years later as an adult, I would listen back and realize how much it is so politically relatable now. Especially in 2019.
Lol, finally a song for all of us moderates!
When I searched the lyrics on the googles it says anger I see anger i see anger I see now instead of you’re a sinner
You're a sinner...
Thanks for the upload, 2019 still goin on. This shit is slept on hard. Diamonds in the rough forever.
3:11-3:17 I get chills every time
So this song is perfect way to say believe what you wanna believe but don’t go judging people for what they believe. Noice
Honestly.. probably one of my top five favorite a7x songs
2:28-3:20 <3 my fave part
“I may not be perfect but Iv always been true” tattooed on my ribs to remind me I’ll always be good enough as long as I keep trying.
Who else just came here for the rev?
A7x foREVer
THESE LYRICS ARE SO FUCKING RELATABLE
You're a sin, you're a sin, you're a sinner!
this sounds like burn it down
Someone in 2019?!
Brazil is here!!! 😎❤
👩🏻
The left is BRAINLESS and the right is SPINELESS but BOTH use the moral high ground to justify their narrative (the left) and inaction (the right).
02:28 sick!
This is the best song they’ve ever released. Fight me on that
Strength of The World, Save Me, I Won't See You Tonight Part 1, M.I.A., Roman Sky, Seize The Day, So Far Away... the list goes on. Love this song, but definitely not their best.
2:53 <3
This might be random but Robert Frost anyone? His poem the road not taken?
anyone?
MASTER SCRUB115 maybe.
this describes chosing to play a pander in world of warcraft
I need that guitar tone in the beggining.
This song represents Switzerland in ww2
2:23 mi parte favorita
This song speaks to me on a deep level
2018 anyone?
Me acordé de la cancion de los redondos JAJAJAJA

I see the punisher after season 1 in a old muscle coming to a T junction trying to choose what life he wants to keep fighting or try a normal life
Listen to Strength of The World, it's a very similar story to the Punisher, and one of my favorite A7X songs 🤘
this it"s a cover right?
No, it´s the real song from Diamons in the Rough
2:29 fav part. The best!
If only they still had these values. They've been compromised by the Democrats.
I Imagine Trump in the White House listening to this.
That's exactly why I like Tump he's no longer this is or that person. I interpreted the song in a different way this time going back to it after years. It's just a different take on the song. Dude just be happy we can think freely.
(Joker Smile) why so serious?
My dude I respect your opinion. And I ESPECIALLY respect your music taste.
Angelissa Medina thx
Hk Jn I have no shame in admitting I voted for Trump, and I still stand by it.
3:21 woof 😍😍😎😎😁😁
I miss Jimmy so much
MORE DOUBLE OCTOPUS!
02:55 IS THE BEST PART OF ALL THE ALBUM!
the last one the last one the last TIME
Jase Mollohan TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIME
2:23 is where the rev starts :)
"The left isn't better, its just more of the same, condemning all these people for what they believe" I just love that line because it's so true
Joseph Clark are u serious? U gonna be immature in a comment section of a video?and insult others over the internet? Ok good for u! I admire u! You’re such a good person!👏
@OVER_killerpro13 if people can't take it they shouldn't dish it out🤷 what I said was in retaliation so don't act like you wouldn't do the same thing
Okay I am going to assume you are right wing in which case, it says more of the same, so it goes for your side too. Dont act so smirk
Joseph Clark you shouldnt tell someone that their interpretation is inherently wrong, but the ones calling you immature and triggers are stupid asf. you just said your mind and that other mf freaked out and called you a dipshit for having your own interpretation lol that guy that call you a dipshit is the real immature and triggered one.
Both sides are getting duped and they still point fingers. I just laugh at both sides. Theyre both getting played so hard.
*I walk thought the world with no rules to to Guide me*
its disgusting how bad you are at interpreting lyrics
Reilly Dennis i dont seem to know what you're talking about?
Reilly Dennis the lyrics are spot on
KnuckleCracker7 you are a troll, cus no, they are not
G C how are they not?
What do I need to get that tone in the beginning?
man iPreferChicken seymour Duncan jb or Invaders with a marshall on the high gain channel. I think zacky v uses a boss sd1.
his voice is so god damn powerful especially in this erra
I WALK THROUGH THE CENTER WITH NO RULES TO GUIDE ME!
Theyre playing nice to the b ig wigs, trying to become a household name, cut them some slaack bro. Not everyone hates the world, @G C
@Hail Gaming Brooks is actually amazing though. I have a deathbat tattoo on my arm, and that was when The Rev was alive. He was partly the reason I started playing drums. But Brooks is god damn phenomenal.
@G C How so? Just curious
I WALK THROUGH THE CENTER WITH NO RULES TO GUIDE ME!!!!!! YES!!!
Democrats are bad mkay
this song is so deep .... honestly its soooo underrated
Well the chorus isn't that great..
when syn did dive bombs
The rev's voice 😍😍😍
Fgg Dfgf RRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Miss you jimmy. foREVer R.I.P.
The lyrics speak to me.
To me these lyrics say that
You make your own decisions one by one .
you dont have to be perfect to be the best.
It doesnt matter what other people think about you just be yourself.
You can achieve anything you want even though youre not the best.
W0LF _ 1279 LLJ🕊
You 're a sin..you're a sin..you're a sinner
When it's not lyric...
I miss this A7X
Syn loves doing that opening on this song. Been to a few of their concerts and he done it every time. Always got me excited till they go into something else =\
I imagine a music video where Matt drives the red convertible on a route and a crossroads appears. On the right there is a church where Rev and Johnny Christ are. On the left are Syn Gates and Zacky Vengeance drinking whiskey. Something like that more or less I imagine...
They just perfect storry teller
None of them are religious though, they were raised religious but chose to leave their religion after seeing how horrible the world is and thought that if there was a god who loved us, they wouldn't have let our world get so bad
Matt even said in a concert "I don't have to be religious to be a good person"
LazyTrashPanda
I think they were getting at the fact one of their last name is christ and the others nickname comes from reverend which is a religious person. Hence on the religious right.
And the other two are revengeful and sinister. Hence on the sinful left.
Same, to that waterin hole where we all get whiskey drunk. A7X! Ready for the next album, next tour, next....
If you've seen the latest vacation movie when the dudes wife leaves him, then takes the rapids..... That scene is like a funny version of this song lol
Is it me or does it sound like burn it down?
Ainna Dean no where to burn it down😂
Nah burn it down had a much faster tempo and more punk drumming
I'm gonna buy me this album
when a7x was still good
As if they got bad.
King Derp I love them still. They are my favorite band but I'm gonna agree. Their prime time was right around when they released the self-titled album.
They're still good though
I thinks its Anger i see :D But i´m not sure
Just a spoonful of Jimmy makes the whole world go down
*Just a spoonful of Jimmy helps the whole world go down the drain
A spoonful of Jimmy burns it down
Amazinggggggggg
<<<<3333
can i use a small part of this song in one of my video's?
Insanian Yes
ur avi, why is it ron jeremy
If you want a copyright claim then yes
Super later reply 😂 but yes you can, be sure to credit it. If you dont then you can be copyright striked. 👍
what album is this on
Diamonds in the Rough
Live in the LBC and Diamonds in the Rough
Never been so sexually attracted to a guitar in my life until the dive bombs came in
Never been so sexually attracted to Matts voice until this song
then you should listen to fixation on the darkness by killswitch engage, lol squeals everywhere
Jordan Brugmans k...
During a concert should play the beginging of this right until the vocals come in, then switch to Almost Easy.
On big festivals they play it in the end of Unholy Confessions for a big circle pit contest
Here you go: https://youtu.be/EWF6iUeOXjY Took a shot at taking the beginning of Crossroads and transitioning it into Almost Easy
maybe into the solo of beast and the harlot
thatd be sick too
Are you sure the rev says you're a sin you're a sin you're a sinnerv
FOX PLAY'S I hear "anger I see, anger I see, anger I see now"
Emanuel Rocha yea I could see how you could hear that but can here the N’s in there?
Sounds more like “you’re” then “anger”
This is gonna be the new yani and laurel lmao
Oh I can hear them now
All the religious RIGHT
You're all so young, you're all so young, you're all so blind
It's amazing how many idiots can't figure that out. The context clues are on the sections immediately before and after.
This song os so underrated
This Is my person favorite song, and One of my Favorite A7x songs, and deserves to be played live, just Like Natural Born Killer, both are forgotten, but Amazing
aSwaggySquirrel The main riff is played occasionally before the outro of Unholy Confessions, usually to hype up a mosh pit before the breakdown/heavy outro.
Oliver Dekens-True I Know, I meant the full song
Yeah, I wish they'd play the full song, but not enough people know about it for them to play full way through live. Same thing for when they play Warmness on the Soul without lyrics.
Its not underated at all.. The album is just really difficult to find.
Sucks that this album isn't on iTunes, oh well, Android master race I guess
@SlashingCat
I'm talking about Diamonds in the Rough as a whole.
TinyTunes App is life ...
THIS SONG IS ON SPOTIFY!!!!! (:
spookyrev on twitter.
I subscribed to you
🔥👈💀👉🔥
@kayla coy Only this song
Without a doubt one of Avenged Sevenfold's BEST songs. I can't believe they thought this was only a B-side!!
love the lyrics
+Alex Martinez
If they did try to put it on an album they would probably be able to rewrite the lyrics
MadMax0417 Is it just because it doesn't line up with your views on the country? These dudes do seem to be drifting towards the left unfortunately.
MadMax0417 actually it’s not. The story here is a man comes to a fork in a road. On the right is a church and he at first chooses that, but then on the left he sees a people drinking partying and having fun and wants to go there but the church is appealing to his good nature. He leans back and forth unable to decide with both sides criticizing him. He eventually chooses his own path and goes down the middle. The meaning is suppose to show that everyone has a path in life and you don’t just have to go with the flow. There is also a political message in it too. People on the right (conservative and republican) tend to be more religious and sometimes even criticize people for sinning. People on the left (liberal and democrat) tend to disregard religion and instead party and sometimes criticize people who don’t hold their beliefs. As for the vocal structure, there’s actually more here than you think. You’ve got a glimpse of classic Matt screams as well as Jimmy’s shouting vocals. The melodies line up perfectly with what is happening. There’s more to this song than just one topic and a vocal structure as well
@MrMcMaster12 the song just wasnt as tight as it needed to be. was very close though
better then metallica i definitely think so sbout your thoughts i really dont give a fuck
Huge Metallica fan here can confirm
lol it's like comparing chocolate with potatoes.... both are godly.
xMETALxROCKxMIROSx exactly, it's all about what you're looking for
john gavalas aggred best metal band ever formed bar none
A7x and Metallica are just as good as each other imo
