Discover the story of the song > Nightmare – Avenged Sevenfold

The song is about a protagonist who has been dragged to hell to be a guest of the devil forever. He is told that God is not on his side and that he has been lied to just to be taken advantage of. The chorus tells him that he should have realized the cost of evil and that he now belongs in this nightmare world. The song ends by reminding him that his choices led him here and that he is now a slave until the end of time.
