Beautiful Morning Lyrics

[Verse 1: M. Shadows]
I sit stoic
Touch of the divine upon my neck

Lay me gently
Take my body down, let me ascend

[Pre-Chorus: M. Shadows]
Help me to hear, and hear me to save
And save me before I've gone too far
Let me inhale my passage to hell
While slowly exhaling the scar


[Chorus: M. Shadows]
You walk on water
But the water swallows you


[Verse 2: M. Shadows]
I lay quiet
Floating in the stillness of this tomb
Headstone empty
Choking on the flowers as they bloom


[Pre-Chorus: M. Shadows]
No one to know, and nowhеre to hide
And nothing of me I'vе left behind
Silence of one, the meaning of none
And letting it all go to be
[Chorus: M. Shadows]
You walk on water
But the water swallows you
You're like no other
You're the other one in view
(Don't let it be)
Don't let it be
Don't let it...

[Bridge: Synyster Gates, Synyster Gates and M. Shadows]
It's a beautiful morning
It's a beautiful day
Everybody is smilin'
In a beautiful way

I took a walk to paint the flowers and the trees
The sun reflected gazing fondly on me
I made a picture and I put it in the rays outside
It washed the paint away and carried me home, I have finally arrived
There's no one but you two

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3: M. Shadows]
Dressed in armor
Just the hollow shell I was before
[Pre-Chorus: M. Shadows]
Help me to turn my attention on me
So empty just as I was before
Let me exhale concession to hell
While slowly embracing the scar

[Chorus: M. Shadows]
You walk on water
But the water swallows you
And you're like no other
You're the other one in view
(Don't let it be)
You walk on water
(Don't let it be, don't let it be)
But the water swallows you
(Don't let it be)
(Don't let it, don't let it)
And you're like no other
(Don't let it be, don't let it be)
You're the other one in view
(Don't let it be!)

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

This song presents a duality of beauty and nihilism. On one hand, “it’s a beautiful day” and the protagonist is walking amongst the flowers and trees. On the other hand, he seems certain of his “passage to hell”, and remarks on his hollow shell and his empty headstone.

You walk on water – but the water swallows you.
