Track 3 off of Avenged Sevenfold’s sixth studio album, Hail to the King. This song is notable for its heavy Guns ‘N Roses influence. Said guitarist Synyster Gates of the song:

[Intro]
Ha-ha ha-ha ha-ha ha-ha-ha
The lives of some men
If walls could talk to spill the lies

[Verse 1]
I maintain an addiction

Don't you look at me wrong
Fucked up and thrown into the gutter
Gotta fix what don't belong
[Chorus]
I see the writing on the wall
I see the lifeless devils start to crawl
And I don't need no lessons
After all
Everybody's doin' their time
[Bridge]

[Chorus]
I see your number on the wall
I see the lifeless devils start to crawl
And I don't need no lessons
Watch the fall
You lost my attention
After all
Everybody's doin' their time
[Outro]
Time!
