Avenged Sevenfold-Shattered By Broken Dreams (Lyrics)

[endly23]

if u dont like this song, suicide, go meet the Rev in paradise and tell him directly that u dont like it...

[tannooberli]

whenever i think of a7x i feel a 'warmness on the soul' and that all my problems are 'so far away'and that my enemies 'will be trash and scattered' and be brought to the 'afterlife' to meet thier fucking 'nightmare' and be 'buried alive' with 'the beast and the harlot'.

[bellapotter123]

awesome

[DayKill666]

I Love this song, i used to think Avenged Sevenfold used to be all screamo and shit, but its amazing, im glad i took the time to listen to them, Respect to the Rev forever

[tiagometalcore]

[hithernightmare]

[foREVerXgray]

I absolutely love this song.

[eaantonio007]

[mayorbee11]

[HarryPotterIsLife109]

As I listen to the songs for a while back and listen to the songs that are recent, I can tell Matt's voice has changed a little.. I think his voice was better back then..

[11one22dontcry]

Who said Rock and Metal cant have Feelings

[t10boen]

240p definition...we meet again -_-

[HowRoachProductions]

@t10boen Kid copying a status, we meet again -_-

[t10boen]

@HowRoachProductions LOL sorry, :)

[DaQBomb]

what is this song about? im getting mixed emotions.

[ZamrosProductions]

Good song, but I'm glad M doesn't scream much anymore.

[Meniku95]

@ZamrosProductions M. Shadows doesn't scream anymore because he blew his voice cords

[Chunkyphrezh]

@Meniku95 i thot it was cuz he had the possibility of blowing his vocal cords. from what ive heard he only screams in songs from past albums that have screaming on it

[Meniku95]

@Chunkyphrezh ye he doesn't really scream any more cuz of what happened. We will see what happenes and what songs they made when their new album comes out which hopefully comes out soon

[xxxDrummerBoyfoREVer]

@Meniku95  A7X is making a new album? when?

[Meniku95]

@xxxDrummerBoyfoREVer don't know when but i know that their new album name is ''welcome to the family'' i think

[BassOuttaControl]

@Meniku95 I'm pretty sure Welcome To The Family was on the album "Nightmare" lol..,

[Meniku95]

@BassOuttaControl 1st i said ''i think'' in my previous comment and yes i know it was in the nightmare album

[Brutehunter4]

A7x isn't just music it's a way of life >:D Rock on my fellow friends and Let the heavens quake with the epicness of the Rev R.I.P. We love ya Jimmy!

[proBleadr]

how think a7x are shit his a stupid gey that think he doesn't know a thing about music but he isnt hes only a litel bitch so he need to get out and listen to his stupid pop -rap music

[SYNnnefoREVever]

omfg!

[08Revelator]

It's a shame Shadow's couldn't sing yet.

[rolltide998]

@08Revelator ya they need to re-do this

[iDeKz]

@08Revelator M Shadow's Voice is Amazing Now, and Before. Stfu.

[08Revelator]

@iDeKz

Fucking ignorant fanboy. Go suck his dick then , you fag.

His voice is good now because he has trained it well, before the recording of Awaken the Fallen, he sought a vocal coach after heeding his Doctor's advice, in 2002 Because his technique sucked so badly. That's why on this album, Sounding the Seventh Trumpet, he fucking sucked. He had 0 training and 0 practice. He is now vocally trained by Ron Anderson who coached Axl Rose and Chris Cornell.

Get your shit right, son!

[iDeKz]

@08Revelator um your Comment, is complete Bull shit you fucking dumb ass. his voice is amazing in this album. and every album. fuck off kid , try making sence next time, ohh and you tell me to suck his dick, When all i said. HIS VOICE WAS ALWAYS AMAZING. But , of corse you put out a whole fucking paragraph about his voice.. Really? fuck you kid your dumb as fuck and have no clue in Music.

[whothefcares2687]

@iDeKz i totally agree with what you're saying. But you can't talk down to someone when you can't spell "sense" right.

[iDeKz]

@whothefcares2687 dude, i obviously can Spell Sense, I Was typing fast and put Sence. Sorry but im not 7.

[Avengedpieman]

@08Revelator dude i agree that his vioce is better now but it was still good back then and also dude you have no right in telling other people wot to think thats for them to decide so stop your worthless rants and grow up dude

[08Revelator]

@Avengedpieman

So if it is better now, than it was worse then, right? So get your dick out of Shadows' ass and just give me a thumbs up!

Why do the homosexual gay male fans of A7X get so offended...LOL.

I'm a huge fan of the guy and the work that he has done to get his voice where it is. But calling his voice untrained, on their first album should not be offensive. Maybe you should grow up if your getting your little school boy crush feelings get stepped on.

[ZackyVA7X4ever]

another beautiful song by A7X RIP James Owen Sullivan we miss you why'd you have to go so early plz come back

[queezy112]

I love you a7x!!!!!!!!!!

[athenahotchips2]

avenged sevenfold and bullet for my valentine are in my top 5 favorite bands

[RobertoHomerDelgado]

Every time I hear a song of Avenged Sevenfold I feel a "warmness on the soul", that all my problems are "so far away"

[TheSubliminalMaggot]

@RobertoHomerDelgado this is pretty late,but ur so damn cheesy

[sucktheSAUSAGE]

@RobertoHomerDelgado Every time I read an unoriginal comment I get these "Demons" inside of me that put people into an "Eternal Rest"

[RobertoHomerDelgado]

@sucktheSAUSAGE well, I don't care if you have something against my comment, that's your problem, I'll just do what I want and NOTHING'S gonna stop me, neither you nor anyone else

¿do you think my comment is unoriginal?. Then write what you consider original, because my comment is plain and simple.

I don't know why people like you wants to make trouble for silliness and for nothing

And if you don't like it, then get used to it

Riddance for you

[sucktheSAUSAGE]

@RobertoHomerDelgado I don't like it, i wont get used to it, I'm not making trouble, you're just getting butthurt for a stupid reason, and there is no riddance for me. Come up with something original that a person would consider a good comment. If you're gonna do what you want, then so will I, and everyone else will to. Don't take it like up the ass, just take it. And this, (¿do you think my comment is unoriginal?. Then write what you consider original), doesn't make sense.

[RobertoHomerDelgado]

@sucktheSAUSAGE I'm sick of people like you, that think they know what's original and what's not, I'm sick of people thinking they can mess up with what others think or comment.

I'm just expressing myself in the way I'm allowed to, I don't care if something is original or not, but I'm expressing myself in case you didn't notice you thick head.

YouTube is a way to express what we feel or think and NOT A CONTEST TO SEE WHAT'S ORIGINAL OR NOT, that's a silliness...

[ajBVBxx]

@RobertoHomerDelgado ummm..... youtube is not a place to express your 'feelings' youtube is a place to watch videos and stuff like that ?? just thought i'll point that out.. ok.. bye ^_^

[witweki]

Eargasm

[Darkflame3600]

[carlkitty]

[AsiShady]

i always thought dis song was soft but i was listening to it on the buss while eating my skittles and it turned out to be really epic and cool.

[AsiShady]

i always thought this song was soft,but then i was listening to it on the bus while i was eating my skittles and i cudnt change the song cuz my fingers had sugar all over em,so i had to let it play and it turnd out to be an epic song. now its my favorite song.

[Avengedpieman]

some people say that he isnt a good singer but i cant hear any thing wrong can you ???

[rubyxxrad]

@Avengedpieman i honestly dont think he sounds lik himself in this song..... but i love his voice <3 evn lik how it is now- all raspy nd shit

[a7xfanantic]

[amberorton1]

[SomeGuyNamedDrake]

[GlORiiA137]

in my opinion ONE OF THE BEST AVENGED SEVENFOLD SONG

[UndercoverGoldfish1]

does the start of this not remind anyone of " simple man " by lynard skynard ?

[jeremydewayneellis]

an album that so many over looked until they got big.. its really always been bad fuckin ass!!!

[RIPJIMMYTHEREVa7x1]

love this song

[hashshashinjak]

buffy theme song at 5:30?

[Deimtime]

@MegaCaleb100 Well then: Welcome to the family dude!

[Deimtime]

@MegaCaleb100 "A Year before The Rev died"?? This song is on "Sounding the seventh trumpet", A7X`s first studio album. It came out in 1999, TEN Years before we lost Jimmy. It´s about Justin Sane (former Bassist) who attempted suicide.

[ambaru3]

OMGGGGGG I LOVE AVENGED SEVENFOLD SOO MUUUUUUUCHCHCHCHCHCHC!!!! *.* <3

[tOeyCreed]

help you see it through^ ^

[itsbailey98]

[iloveu5able]

OH my gosh that is such a powerful song I love it

[KaylaTriviumA7X6661]

My favourite song off Sounding the Seventh Trumpet :)

[Donnelly182]

How can anyone think this song is about The Rev? THis song was on their first fucking album! Jeez.

[rookiebobby22]

only gays dislike a damn good song from a7x

[huntatnight]

[keally1234]

<3 rev foREVer <3

[brutallegendfreak121]

[Welshbeauty1]

5:37  sounds like buffy the vampire slayer was it ever used for the series ?

[TheIllest420]

CHECK OUT MY VOCAL COVER FOR THIS SONG!!!

[IKESHUFFLE]

who was the 7 mother fuckers who dont like this music ? ^^

[amandaxox101xox]

who was the origanal bassist?

[KINGTIGERLORD]

@amandaxox101xox The original bassist was Matt Wendt, then it was Dameon Ash now it's Johnny Christ.

[brentbanaagbaab]

@KINGTIGERLORD you skipped justin sane, who's the main reason they wrote this song, as well as IWST pts. 1 and 2

[MentalSin2010]

@KINGTIGERLORD Your forgetting about Justin Sane he was a bassist too

[xxxDrummerBoyfoREVer]

@amandaxox101xox Matt Wendt

[katcasualty]

Synyster, Zacky, Matt, Johnny and Rev...... <3 I loved them before ANYONE knew them. :)))) sounding the 7th was THE SHIT! Still is. Seen them 25 times, before Rev died (RIP)

[MRthrashbash]

thought this song would be unknown guess not

[elewojo]

Yeah they're really good songs. I'm sayin they could rerelease them with some vocal touch ups on the singing, which unless you're big on that down-to-earth garage band type music, would do it a whole lot better. it's easy, with the voice shadows has now, he could easily just rerun the vocal track and make this song twice as good, same with warmness on the soul.

[macaronieandsteeze]

these songs "could" be great? these songs are great.  personally i don't think that these songs need to be redone. the singing isn't 100% top notch but it's beautiful as it is. :)

[MrChriss666]

a7x is the shit.

[Sylasas]

@MrChriss666 ????

[maleficus333]

They should make a compilation album of their best ballads!

[elewojo]

goddamn i keep saying it but on songs like this and warmness on the soul they should deffinatly redo the singing parts. Shadows voice is ten times better now and these songs would be huge if he redid the singing, but they won't cause the revs dead and they feel like they can't touch anything he helped create. C'mon guys, redo it in the rev's memory, and introduce new fans to your old material. These songs could be great

[MSproductions23]

@elewojo Actually the song Fiction from Nightmare was a song the Rev finished 4 days before he died and it was originally for Pinkly Smooth but after he died, A7X stole it. They aren't scared to touch something he helped create. I think they're all embarassed by all the songs on Sounding The Seventh Trumpet.

[TheIllest420]

@MSproductions23

embarassed by all the songs on sounding the 7th trumpet?? Are you dumb??

[linkinparkpr]

@MSproductions23 It's true Fiction was originally for Pinkly Smooth, but it wasn't stolen. As you said he finished it four days before he died, but, he told M. Shadows that that was the last song they needed for their album. It was completely intended for Avenged Sevenfold then. And they aren't embarrased of Sounding the Seventh Trumpet, they even played To End the Rapture as recent as last year or so. M. Shadows just doesn't want to scream as much anymore. That was in an offical interview.

[Brbsnacks]

@elewojo This song and Warmness on the soul is great already D:

[a7xobsesser7527]

damn what album (if any) is this on

[phillies181]

@a7xobsesser7527 sounding the seventh trumpet

[quincdehaag55]

wow I thougt this was a slower song so i turned the sound harder. But now i've almost blown my ears of xD

[FallenGatesz]

WHO PLAY BASS FOR THIS SONG?

[luke34578]

@FallenGatesz jc

[meesieyo]

they should play 'sounding the seventh trumpet' stuff live again

[thevoiceoftruth55]

@meesieyo I would travel across the country to see that show

[a7xlover10]

my god really ... u can see how they've grown up i mean the lyrics is so much awefull while they are waesome now .... but they are still my fav. band

[guitaroob]

@a7xlover10 someone needs a few more english lessons.

[xEASTYNx]

wow, just listening to this you can see how much they've grown up. and matts taken some lessons. haha

[thevoiceoftruth55]

@xEASTYNx I think they have regressed from here. But I like metal core, thats just me.

[xEASTYNx]

@thevoiceoftruth55 That 's kinda why I like Waking the Fallen better because it still has that sound but it's a lot more put together

[vam4TWO]

6 people had a seizure while about to click on the like button....

[KennyGkienan]

yeah the rev wasnt dead yet

[Thrillseeker419]

i like how periods were used like confetti. not.

great song

[Killertoast37]

Rest in Peace rev. I´m looking forward to meet ya! :) Good song.

[Rockmangoes]

If it wasn't for mudrock,Avenged will not have been the Sevenfold.

[naruto2091]

this song was actually for the original bassist who tried to kill himself it's not for the rev!

[Deathbat7777777]

@naruto2091 haha i know this song was one there first album (:

[FriendsandPlus]

@naruto2091 Hey was that Justin Sane or Matt Meachum

[eliteslayer29]

@FriendsandPlus demon ash and i wont see you tonight was written for him not this

[emogirl4555]

@naruto2091 who was their original bassist?

[awsomegurl71]

@emogirl4555 Justin Sane, he left then they had another bassist that only lasted for about a month or so then they found Johnny Christ :)

[theblackestseth]

@awsomegurl71 actually they were gonna keep the bass player they had, but johnny christ heard them playing one day and went to their practice area, told them their bass player sucked. He talked them into letting him show them what he could do on bass, and they dropped the other bass player. you were right about some things, but they didn't find johnny;johnny found them.lol

[therealgremmlinsmith]

@theblackestseth No, Dameon Ash left the band with two weeks worth of shows left, they asked Johnny to fill in, and then join the band full time.

[batista31619]

@naruto2091 Um Wasn't I wont see you tonight part 1 and 2 dedicated to Their original bassist?

[zomgitsuudon]

@naruto2091 im pretty sure he tried to kill himself by drinking bottles of cough syrup or something, twice

[XEsandmanEX]

@naruto2091 no shit?

[a7xobsesser7527]

@XEsandmanEX ya but read the top comment (AXELGRIZ)

[bunsenhoneydew111]

@naruto2091 so they made 3 songs for justin?

[luke34578]

@naruto2091 he actually did kill himself

[MegashadX]

This fucking band is just seeped in tragedy ;(

[Demonicfreak227]

@naruto2091 obviously, the song was made before James died.

[WolfieTheWolfGirl]

@naruto2091 someone has there facts straight lol this song came out waaaayyy before there last album

[08Revelator]

@naruto2091

Very well could be for the Rev in every lyric, minus the "no dad" lyric.

What a shame! This band has to endue their friends killing themselves before these same friends grow up. One, a self pity fulled emo kid, and the other a reckless addict. My heart really goes out the people who loved these guys only to have them leave their friends behind.

[gerjpps23]

@08Revelator One a self pity fulled emo? How kind of you. He had problems, doesnt make him that, you ignorant person.

[08Revelator]

@gerjpps23

That wasn't a reference to "the rev". This is their 2nd band member to kill himself. I was talking about their old bassist.

[Avengedpieman]

@08Revelator he diddnt kill him self he tried but didnt and has just disapeared thats all

[08Revelator]

@Avengedpieman

lol right...."just disappeared"....lmao

[gerjpps23]

@08Revelator yes, i know.
