Acid Rain Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Our day has come
It's drawn in the sky
So, don't shed a tear now
Be thankful for the time
Life wouldn't be so precious, Dear
If there never was an end
[Chorus]
Children still play in the garden
Dance as the sun slips away
[Verse 2]
We stand on the edge, now
We've come so far
And through all the dust, it becomes clear
You will always be my heart
There's no death, no end of time
When I'm facing it with you
[Chorus]
Children still play in the garden
Dance as the sun slips away
Not even stars last forever
Cleanse us, acid rain
Our day has come
It's drawn in the sky
So, don't shed a tear now
Be thankful for the time
Life wouldn't be so precious, Dear
If there never was an end
[Chorus]
Children still play in the garden
Dance as the sun slips away
[Verse 2]
We stand on the edge, now
We've come so far
And through all the dust, it becomes clear
You will always be my heart
There's no death, no end of time
When I'm facing it with you
[Chorus]
Children still play in the garden
Dance as the sun slips away
Not even stars last forever
Cleanse us, acid rain
[Bridge]
Stand near to me
Don't look
Be brave
Over the blackened moon
I'm carrying you away
Through the planets, we fly
[Guitar solo]
[Chorus]
Children still play in the garden
Dance as the sun slips away
Not even stars last forever
Cleanse us, acid rain
[Outro]
Send us home
Send us home
Send us home
Send us home
Stand near to me
Don't look
Be brave
Over the blackened moon
I'm carrying you away
Through the planets, we fly
[Guitar solo]
[Chorus]
Children still play in the garden
Dance as the sun slips away
Not even stars last forever
Cleanse us, acid rain
[Outro]
Send us home
Send us home
Send us home
Send us home
About
Genius Annotation
‘Acid Rain’ is the 10th and the last track on ‘Hail to the King’ the sixth album by Avenged Sevenfold.
Vocalist M. Shadows breaks it down in this article
There’s another song called “Acid Rain,” which follows on from Planets. It’s the love story of what happens after the planets collide and you get cast into space with your loved one to die. So there are a bunch of dark, crazy stories that are really all over the place, but which are definitely metal.
