Album: Hail to the King (2013)

License This Song 

• Our day has come
  It's drawn in the sky
  So don't shead a tear now
  Be thankful for the time
  
  Life wouldn't be so precious dear if there never was an end
  
  Children still play in the garden
  Dance as the sun slips away
  
  We stand on the edge now
  We've come so far
  Through all the dust it becomes clear
  You will always be my heart
  
  There's no death, no end of time when I'm facing it with you
  
  Children still play in the garden
  Dance as the sun slips away
  Not even stars last forever
  Cleanse us Acid rain
  
  Stand near to me
  Don't look be brave
  Over the blackened moon
  I'll carry you away
  Through the planets we fly
  
  Children still play in the garden
  Dance as the sun slips away
  Not even stars last forever
  Cleanse us Acid rain
  
  Send us home
  Send us home
  Send us home
  Send us home Writer/s: BRIAN HANER, JONATHAN SEWARD, MATTHEW SANDERS, ZACHARY BAKER

• Brotha from Around The WayConnor you're literally just wrong haha
• EvanWhat does it mean when they say cleanse us as it rain
• Fandi from Medan, IndonesiaThis song is a song that I really love about avenged sevenfold.
  It can make me cry also.
• Connor from British ColumbiaThis song is clearly about mushroom clouds. It's about end of days, depopulation and ww3. Sorry, that's what it's about.
• Diane Jackson from UkIt is so strange but just after we lost our two dogs, (they were pts together at the same time due to ill health), this song just kept coming on my ipod repeatedly even though there are over 2000 songs on there. So much so that I got the lyrics, from this website as I was sure someone, somewhere was trying to tell me something through this song. I feel sure that it was a message from my two friends that they were together and it had had to be that way and they were still together in the next life. An amazing song but needless to say, it always makes me cry.
• Crystal from Peru IndianaI start bawling when I hear this song not because its sad really but because its a message of hope promise and love that we will get to see our loved ones soon that they are not dead or gone really we are just temporarily separated from them
  love you mike and chris camp and smitty-crystal McIntosh
