number seven a little piece of heaven
Avenged Sevenfold before the story
begins it’s just written by the Rev this
eight-minute number features co-lead
vocals from the band’s frontman

strings horns female vocals and a choir

that doesn’t let a little thing like
being turned into zombies stop them from
getting married
got time
dark twisted and bloody but it works
baby
number six hold me thrill me kiss me

of the music video for King rat but
passed away before it was completed

their funk and new metal sound
