Strength of the World

Strength of the World

Avenged Sevenfold

A musical journey through the story of a person whose family was killed and they seek vengeance for their deaths. “Strength of the World” features an array of different instruments such as acoustic guitar, heavy metal guitar, violins, and horns creating a classical “wild west” theme throughout.

Lines such as:

Sitting in silence with heaven above me I prayed every night by their graves
While I search for closure I feel it no longer
I can’t turn my cheek away
I stand before you; I’ll sin when I have to
But now I leave your side, to avenge my family’s pride

Allude to the song being a spiritual struggle as the main character contemplates how god would view his act of vengeance.
