Darkness Coats Us.
The smell of fall.
Changing season.
The graveyard is alive, black cat across my path,
the chill of cold wind, the breath of the dead.
Imprisoned souls.
Trapped for eternity.
Black crows break the silence.
The garden of the dead’s alive tonight and you can't stop it.
Just enjoy it.
Open up your mind and you will feel it too.
The sound, the touch, the thoughts, that you've been so blind to.
You can feel the thoughts of the dead.
Feeling the thoughts of the dead.
True or false, it's still there, teaching me.
True or false, still there, teaching me.
You can feel it tonight.
The wood has rotted away.
Take the time absorb it.
Their time is slipping away.
Stone all carved by hand.
Statues that resemble their faces.
They still breathe.
Come join us.
Smell the burning embers, time flickering away.
Timeless but soon gone
Timeless but soon gone
I can find myself, alone with just my thoughts.
As time crumbles away.
Time crumbles away.

Review about Darkness Surrounding Beast. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/11/09
I fucking loooove this song. When I sing (scream) it I usually just scream what I think he says, now I can actually know what I'm screaming! But yeah this song and An Epic of Time Wasted are my two favorite screaming songs by A7X that I've heard.
Great song! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/5/09
I'm a huge fan of A7X and I own every one of their albums. This song is a more of a mixture of screamo and heavy rock than metal, only because they use instruments instead of objects and nylon strings rather than cat hairs xD. The song is hard to play on E.Guitar at first but can be really fun once mastered.
Alex you fag | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/7/09
Umm, Alex (Rudy)?
Fuck you. Walk is fucking AMAZING. It's better than the Pantera version. It's rare you find a cover that's better than the origional. It's got an amazing edge to it.
Darkness Surrounding is Shadows at his best. 3rd best in my book (Beast and the Harlot, the most godly song to ever be made; Unholy Confessions [smexy harmony]; this).
this is like the best a7x song ever, how could anyone think its terrible? haha, and seriously, if u cant understand the song even with the lyrics right in front of u, theres somethin wrong with u...this song is the best...not terrible =)
fkin sick song | Reviewer: DeathToTheWeak | 4/16/09
I haven't listened to this CD in years, i forgot how great this song was. The screaming is great, it adds so much character to the song. If people don't like the song, why bother coming here and posting a comment about how you dont like it? You prob shouldnt be wasting time listening to music that you don't like and bitching about it, instead find something that you do like and stick to it.
bashing the asshole | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/18/09
ok...well...if you really hate this screaming that much, how did you even suffer through the 3 minutes to get to the "smell the burning embers" part anyway? i propose that you actually like this crap and are either in denial or are a forum troll
How the crap is this song terrible? It's genius. Because you don't appreciate screams dosn't make this song bad. It shows you don't have an open mind to song. Everything about this song is great. Especially the drums. It let's the guitars and bass follow it beautifully.
Some people are fucktards! | Reviewer: Alex (Rudy) hates FUCKTARDS | 5/23/08
This is an awesome song. If you do not like it you are a fucktard. If you do not like Avenged Sevenfold you are a fucktard. If you have any problem with anything they have ever made you are a fucktard (except WALK, which sucks)! This is like one of their best songs.
Takes getting used to | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/6/08
Huge fan of Waking the Fallen and City of Evil. I love their more melodic songs, but their screaming songs are a lot better than many of the screaming bands out there. I don't what it is about it, but his screaming is so awesome, and also how it changes from singing to screaming; it's like getting the best of both sides. Awesome band. This song is alright, not my favorite, but I still appreciate the music and the lyrics to this song.
\m/ | Reviewer: Nigel | 1/13/08
LOL i just read the most ridiculous shit ever: "This song is terrible...any other A7X song is sweet"
Buddy this song and Second Heartbeat IS Matt at his greatest in terms of screaming...if you only listen to the lyrical parts in A7X songs and shun the screams then u might as well just go listen to some other poser crap like Good Charlotte or something...
