Best Avenged Sevenfold Ballads

These guys have a ballad in every album! As sad and maybe depressing they can sound, they're still amazing.
The Top Ten
1 So Far Away

A very very tearful goodbye to the Rev.

Love this song

2 I Won't See You Tonight, Pt. 1

This song is beautiful. It's...it's...damn I can't even describe it. That's how amazing it is.

So powerful. Stabs you right in the guts every time

3 Crimson Day

This definitely deserves number 1. Nice and slow drum beat driving it forward, great guitar solo and not to mention the lyrics are absolutely beautiful. I cry every time I hear this song. It's so underrated and you should listen to it you won't regret it!

I can't get enough of this song. The thing that makes me like it even more is that it's about M. Shadows' son! That's dedication right there :) Truly beautiful song with heartfelt and emotional lyrics.

4 Dear God

This song is great. Country rock type music with vivid lyrics. It's also got some amazing female backing vocals toward the end

One of my favorite song from Avenged Sevenfold

5 Seize the Day

The band have many great ballads but to me Seize the Day has the most meaningful lyrics to it. It reminisces on the fact that no matter how much you know life isn't endless we're all afraid of that fateful day.
Also Syn's guitar solo here is a beauty.

Can't forget this one. The music video is really interesting, but the song itself is great.

Favourite song til I'm 14 and I'm 20 now

Epic guitar solo

6 Warmness On the Soul

Their first ballad. Makes a great love type song. Guys, if you wanna marry your girl, play this song at the wedding

Fantastic lyrics

7 Victim

The emotion in this song made me cry the first time I heard it. A masterpiece for sure

One of the best avenged sevenfold songs and mostly underrated.

Simply amazing, gives me shivers

8 Acid Rain

This song is a great follow up to Planets. I really enjoy the vocal work and the instrumental work.

This is all that a ballad should be.

Slow, soul-crushingly powerful, and beautiful. It haunts me.

My funeral dirge

9 Roman Sky

Everything is beautiful about this song..

So sad and educational,telling the story of the execution of Giordarno Bruno

10 Fiction

The last song written and recorded by the Rev. Feels, man.__. So many feels...;-;

Epic song, one of their best

The Contenders
11 Gunslinger

I get goosebumps when he sings "I've always been true, I've waited for so long just to come hold you... "

It is a great song

12 Until the End

A great but rather unknown song. It's just amazing how many songs the band has that are actually a little better than their more recognized material

I just listen and this one deserves to be on number one.

13 Tonight the World Dies

I love this song so much

14 Shattered by Broken Dreams

Seriously such an underrated song! Best off sounding the seventh trumpet!

15 Exist

One of the best songs by them. Just amazing.

16 Chapter Four

A song that makes you to read the bible

17 Buried Alive
18 Strength of the World
