Lyrics of
Seize The Day

Seize the Day is a song by the band Avenged Sevenfold, featured on the album City of Evil, released in 2005. The lyrics talk about valuing the people and moments we have, as we dont know when everything might end. The inspiration for the song came from the personal experiences of the band members, especially the lead vocalist M. Shadows, and feelings surrounding loss and valuing the present moment.

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 travel on
Will undergo our same lost past

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 till our time is done
We both know the day will come
But I don't want to leave you

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
Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
It's empty and cold without you here,
Too many people to ache over

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?

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
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 want to die alone without you here
Please tell me what we have is real


So, What if I never hold you, yeah,
Or kiss you lips again? Wooaaahh
So, I never want to leave you
And the memories for us to see
I beg don't leave me

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 want to die alone without you here
Please tell me what we have is real


Silence, you lost me, no chance for one more day
Silence, you lost me, no chance for one more day
