Seize The Day

"Seize the Day" is the fourth single from Avenged Sevenfold's album, City of Evil. "Seize the Day" is different from other tracks in the album; unlike the album's other three singles — "Beast and the Harlot", "Bat Country", and "Burn It Down" — this song is a soft power ballad. Many fans have noted that this song is similar to the Guns N' Roses song "Don't Cry" and Bon Jovi song "Always" due to the guitar solo, vocal texture, harmonic progressions, and rhythm.

[Chorus 1] Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time But I'm too young to worry These streets we traveled on will undergo our same lost past [Verse 1] I found you here, now please just stay for a while I can move on with you around I hand you my mortal life, but will it be forever? I'd do anything for a smile, holding you 'til our time is done We both know the day will come, but I don't want to leave you [Pre-Chorus] I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time But I'm too young to worry A melody, a memory, or just one picture [Chorus 2] Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost It's empty and cold without you here Too many people to ache over [Verse 2] Newborn life replacing all of us, changing this fable we live in No longer needed here so where do we go? Will you take a journey tonight, follow me past the walls of death? But girl, what if there is no eternal life? [Pre-Chorus] I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time But I'm too young to worry A melody, a memory, or just one picture [Chorus 3] Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over Trials in life, questions of us existing here, don't wanna die alone without you here Please tell me what we have is real [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] So, what if I never hold you, yeah, or kiss your lips again? Woah, so I never want to leave you and the memories of us to see I beg don't leave me [Chorus 3] Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over Trials in life, questions of us existing here, don't wanna die alone without you here Please tell me what we have is real [Outro] Silence you lost me, no chance for one more day Silence you lost me, no chance for one more day I'm stuck here alone (Silence you lost me, no chance for one more day) Falling away from you, no chance to get back home (Silence you lost me, no chance for one more day) I'm stuck here alone (Silence you lost me, no chance for one more day) Falling away from me, no chance to get back home (Silence you lost me, no chance for one more day)
