Hive Open Mic Week Number #175 Avenged Sevenfold - M.I.A ( Solo Cover ) By: @discouragedones

Hello Everyone. i'm so glad to take part at Hive Open Mic community after a long time really excited!!!🎸🤘😍 This theme is chosen by our community's recent Spotlight Artist: @milasalazar. Everyone is encouraged to express and connect through: Refleja tu Espiritualidad. That's very beautiful theme.

After countless requests, i finally got around to cover the M.I.A solo! this might just be the hardest A7X solo in my opinion!! It took two weeks to learn this silo. it was really the hardest solo that I had ever covered. the high tempo of this song is much harder to play this solo. This solo one of the greatest Avenged Sevenfold songs of all time, even though it's one of their lesser known songs, here is my cover of M.IA from City of Evil album! track#11 of their album "City Of Evil".

Lyrics:

Staring at the carnage, praying that the sun will never rise
Living another day in disguise
These feelings can't be right
Lend me your courage to stand up and fight, on tonight
Stand up and fight
Now fighting rages on and on
To challenge me you must be strong
I'll walk your land but don't be long
Two million soldiers can't be wrong
Its no fun but I've been here before
I'm far from home and I'm fighting your war
(Not the way I pictured this, I wanted better things)
Some are scared others killing for fun, I shot a mother in front of her son
(Change this from my consciousness and please erase my dreams)
Fight for honor, fight for your life
Pray to god that our side is right
You know we won but still we lose, until I make it home to you
I see your mother filled with tears we grew up so fast where did those years go
Memories won't let you cry unless I don't return tonight
So many soldiers on the other side, I take their live so they don't take mine
(Scared to make it out alive now murders all I know)
Nobody tells me all the reasons were here, I am a weapon so there's nothing to fear
(Another day another life but nothing real to show for)
Fight for honor, fight for your life
Pray to god that our side is right
You know we won but still we lose, until I make it home to you
I see your mother filled with tears we grew up so fast where did those years go
Memories won't let you cry unless I don't return tonight
Staring at the carnage, praying that the sun will never rise
Living another day in disguise
These feelings can't be right, lend me your courage to stand up and fight
Watching the death toll rise wondering how I'm alive
Strangers blood on my hands, shot all I can
There were no silent nights watching your brothers all die
To destroy all their plans with no thought of me (no thought of me)
No thought of me
Walk the city lonely
Memories that haunt are passing by
A murderer walks your street tonight
Forgive me for my crimes, don't forget that I was so young
Fought so scared in the name of God and country
