Exist (live At The Grammy Museum®) Lyrics - Avenged Sevenfold

Our truth is painted across the sky 

In our reflection we learn to fly 

No hand to hold us 

No one to save us from tomorrow 

Sailing away, beyond the reach of anyone 

Far beyond the dreams of everyone 

No light to follow 

A shot in the dark 

Does anybody know? 

Sailing away, beyond the reach of anyone 

Far beyond the dreams of everyone 

High from the heavens 

I can't see the pain 

Does anybody care?

Think for a moment of all the lives 

Stripped of their essence before their time 

We stand to conquer 

But is there nothing left tomorrow? 

Sailing away, beyond the reach of anyone 

Far beyond the dreams of everyone 

No light to follow 

A shot in the dark 

Does anybody know? 

Sailing away, beyond the reach of anyone 

Far beyond the dreams of everyone 

High from the heavens 

I can't see the pain 

Does anybody care?

"We have one collective hope: the Earth. 

And yet, uncounted people remain hopeless, famine and calamity abound. 

Sufferers curl themselves into the arms of war; 

people kill and get killed in the 

name of someone else's concept of God. 

Do we admit that our thoughts & behaviors spring 

from a belief that the world revolves around us? 

Each fabricated conflict, self-murdering bomb, 

vanished airplane, 

every fictionalized dictator, biased or partisan, and wayward son, 

are part of the curtains of society's racial, 

ethnic, religious, national, and cultural conflicts, 

and you find the human ego turning the knobs and pulling the levers. 

When I track the orbits of asteroids, comets, and planets, 

each one a pirouetting dancer in a cosmic 

ballet, choreographed by the forces of gravity, 

I see beyond the plight of humans. I see a universe ever-expanding, 

with its galaxies embedded within the 

ever-stretching four-dimensional fabric of space and time. 

However big our world is, our hearts, our minds, 

our outsize atlases, the universe is even bigger. 

There are more stars in the universe 

than grains of sand on the world's beaches, 

more stars in the universe than seconds 

of time that have passed since Earth formed, 

more stars than words & sounds ever 

uttered by all humans who have ever lived. 

The day we cease the exploration of the cosmos is 

the day we threaten the continuing of our species. 

In that bleak world, arms-bearing, 

resource-hungry people & nations would be 

prone to act on their low-contracted prejudices, 

and would have seen the last gasp of human enlightenment. 

Until the rise of a visionary new culture 

that once again embraces the cosmic perspective; 

a perspective in which we are one, 

fitting neither above nor below, but within."
