Wish You Were Here Lyrics - Avenged Sevenfold

[Pink Floyd cover] 

[Verse 1] 

So, so you think you can tell 

Heaven from Hell 

Blue skies from pain? 

Can you tell a green field 

From a cold steel rail? 

A smile from a veil? 

Do you think you can tell? 

[Verse 2] 

And did they get you to trade 

Your heroes for ghosts? 

Hot ashes for trees? 

Hot air for a cool breeze? 

Cold comfort for change? 

And did you exchange 

A walk on part in the war 

For a leading role in a cage?

[Verse 3] 

How I wish, how I wish you were here 

We're just two lost souls 

Swimming in a fish bowl 

Year after year 

Running over the same old ground 

What have we found? 

The same old fears 

Wish you were here
