Cover art for Shepherd of Fire lyrics by Avenged Sevenfold

I wrote this on my review for this song ... the lyrics are based on the devil's intent to turn a person's life around for the better, and to prove he's better than the divine.

These few lines give it away.

See, I have pity in watching you suffer. I know the feeling of being damned alone.

Well I can promise you paradise, no need to serve on your knees.

Immerse yourself into the kingdom of redemption. Pardon your mind from the chains of the divine.
