About Bat Country

"Bat Country" is a single by the American metal band Avenged Sevenfold from their 2005 album, City of Evil. The song's main influence comes from Hunter S. Thompson's 1971 novel Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and the title itself also comes from a line from the book in which Raoul Duke, the alter-ego pseudonym of Thompson himself, is on his way to Las Vegas while being affected by various drugs, and thus hallucinates, seeing huge bats and manta rays in the sky. .

Bat Country Lyrics

[00:00.33] He who makes a beast out of himself
[00:03.67] Gets rid of the pain of being a man
[00:07.71]
[00:15.45] Caught here in a fiery blaze, won't lose my will to stay
[00:22.82] I tried to drive all through the night
[00:26.62] The heat stroke ridden weather, the barren empty sights
[00:30.98] No oasis here to see, the sand is singing deathless words to me
[00:38.99] Can't you help me as I'm startin' to burn (all alone)
[00:42.60] Too many doses, and I'm starting to get an attraction
[00:46.43] My confidence is leaving me on my own (all alone)
[00:50.16] No one can save me, and you know I don't want the attention
[00:53.86] As I adjust to my new sights
[00:57.49] The rarely tired lights will take me to new heights
[01:01.32] My hand is on the trigger, I'm ready to ignite
[01:05.18] Tomorrow might not make it but everything's all right
[01:09.18] Mental fiction, follow me, show me what it's like to be set free
[01:17.26] Can't you help me as I'm startin' to burn (all alone)
[01:20.93] Too many doses, and I'm starting to get an attraction
[01:24.73] My confidence is leaving me on my own (all alone)
[01:28.74] No one can save me, and you know I don't want the attention
[01:32.27] So sorry you're not here
[01:38.05] I've been chained too long, my vision's so unclear
[01:47.69] Now take a trip with me
[01:53.38] But don't be surprised when things aren't what they seem
[02:02.83] Caught here in a fiery blaze, won't lose my will to stay
[02:10.56] These eyes won't see the same after I flip today
[02:19.02]
[03:15.60] Sometimes I don't know why we'd rather live than die
[03:19.77] We look up towards the sky for answers to our lives
[03:23.38] We may get some solutions, but most just pass us by
[03:27.01] Don't want your absolution 'cause I can't make it right
[03:31.77] I'll make a beast out of myself, yeah
[03:39.40] Gets rid of all the pain of being a man
[03:50.35] Can't you help me as I'm startin' to burn (all alone)
[03:54.64] Too many doses, and I'm starting to get an attraction
[03:58.45] My confidence is leaving me on my own (all alone)
[04:02.37] No one can save me,and you know I don't want the attention
[04:06.17] So sorry you're not here
[04:11.44] I've been sane too long, my vision's so unclear
[04:18.41]
[04:21.18] Now take a trip with me
[04:26.87] But don't be surprised when things aren't what they seem
[04:36.48] I've known it from the start
[04:42.23] All these good ideas will tear your brain apart
[04:51.83] Scared, but you can follow me
[04:57.58] I'm too weird to live, but much too rare to die
[05:04.16]
