Best Songs From Avenged Sevenfold's Waking the Fallen

The Top Ten
1 Second Heartbeat

You could say that Unholy Confessions is the best song on this album, but the truth comes in another way, because Second Heartbeat not only plays with the good handling of electric guitars, but also mentions very sad facts of the daily life of each person in their lyrics, what more could you ask to have in front of the best Avenged Sevenfold song ...? it is clearly Second Heartbeat

Really kick-ass metalcore song, perfect guitar riffs plus amazing scream, make this song best metalcore song ever!

This one kicks Unholy Confessions in the nuts.
Other than that, I think this list is pretty well accurate.

Their best song of their metalcore days, and my 4th favorite song overall by A7X.

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

It is easy to always trust the most Metalcore songs, but the inspiration that I Won't See You Tonight has always made me build in my mind is simply something masterful that is out of this world! The composition, the drama and the melodies are everything in this masterpiece! I can't say it's boring, because it's quite the opposite, totally great but with a very crude meaning to be honest ... Even so, this song always helps me improve my self-esteem when I feel most finished with life, because I know not I am the only one and this song reflects it very clearly!

Not Even a fan of the Album, but this masterpiece has impressed me more than I though it will.

Through all the diseases, Bad moments and desperation... This song were always there for me.

Great song, it barely made me cry but it's one of the best songs.

3 Unholy Confessions

I'll admit the guitar sounds pretty cool... but the screaming, like with every other song on this album (with the exception of I Won't See You Tonight Part 1) puts me off of it.

This song is very surprising, it has a very catchy rhythm, unique guitar basses and above all, it is a song that any emo would love to hear in parks, squares, freshy camp places and even lonely places.

Kick ass guitar riff! M shadows sounds great. For those who like the heavier more screamo/metalcore A7X and for the city of evil and on fans, this song is almost a bridge between the two styles.

People may call this song an emo one, but it's ahead of just 1 simple idea-. Cool song with catchy lines of guitar and basslines! This is the strongest metalcore ever!

4 Chapter Four

Love this song, the mix between the Screams and the singing is just plain awesome. The Guitar riffs are supreme, and as always, the vocals are amazing. Kinda of underrated on the Waking the Fallen album if you ask me.

Sometimes I feel like Unholy Confessions it's better, or Second Heartbeat tho, but honestly Chapter Four has impressed me more.

Whoever didn't listen this song yet WHAT THE HELL it's a missed Jewel from much of the a7x songs.

Be like 2nd song of the list, deserves while Eternal Rest may be first but this a strong one tho.

5 Remenissions

My favorite song in general right now. Best screams I have heard in a while and the chorus is very catchy. If you like Second Heartbeat, then you will like this song. It should be ranked a lot closer to second heartbeat.

The most meaningful track off waking the fallen, just put attention to the lyrics and notice how they go really strong with the electric bass hitting both the spot.

This song has everything to be the best of Waking the Fallen, not even Second Heartbeat is up to it, vote for Remenissions as the president song of this list!

The accoustic part in this song is just amazing. Add vocals to it and it is just pure mindblowing. I thought Unholy Confessions, Second Heartbeat, and I Won't See You Tonight Pt.1 were really good until I realized the accoustic part in this song.

6 Clairvoyant Disease

If I were the author of the list, I would have put Clairvoyant Disease at least number 3 ... since it has a very atmospheric guitar bass and the lyrics are essential and great, the truth is that sometimes many will see it as a song of dark meaning or something crude too, but it is a fact that it has a level of complexity higher than many other songs on this album, maybe And All Things Will End and Second Heartbeat are the only ones capable of defeating it, but for now I choose this one.

I do not understand why this song has not advanced in position yet! It is somewhat disappointing, since I feel that unlike many others, this one plays it more with the ambient sounds of the electric bass and the vocalization is a bit more epic and better cared for than in other songs on the album.

Very underrated song. The solo and bridge is just excellent! Shadows mixed vocals between scream and "not scream" fits perfect, and the guitar solo is both very cool and emotional

The double sickening tempo transformed this song completely, the choruses, the bassline and everything makes it look great.

7 And All Things Will End

Never did listen to this song much. One day it came on my phone and I loved it! It is very underrated

This song brings me more tranquility, the rest are haha so rude songs!

This song so feels entertaining but as things dying up too.

Wow, this song it's so unreal!

8 Eternal Rest

How is this 12th?!?!? It is amazing! The guitars are awesome.. They change with the song, and so do the drums! And Matt and Jimmy (RIP) come together for some amazing vocals! And of course, we can't forget Johnny on the bass, for only being 19 years old, he did amazing!

I Don't use to listen properly to those crazy vocal screams but when it gets good with the normal vocalization it's pure fantasy to my mind.

Number one on my list, but I Won't See You Tonight Part 1 is Number One also.

The beginning of this song is the heaviest part on the album!

9 Desecrate Through Reverence

The guitar work is amazing. The screams are done perfectly. The lyrics are the definition of amazing, especially the last 2 verses.

This song rocks! How is this not higher? Every song from this album is good, but this one is awesome!

I love Eternal Rest but this is better song.

How is this not in the top 3 smh.
The last minute of the song gives me goosebumps. Every single time.

10 Radiant Eclipse

I don't know why this is at the bottom. It's better than a lot of songs off the album. In fact, the only song off the album I don't like is Desecrate through reverence!

Come on, this song should be above Desecrate Through Reverence and I Won't See You Tonight Part 2. Such an underrated song.

How this song is last place? It's even more awesome song than Second Heartbeat and Unholy Confessions.

Super underrated.
Seriously just listen to it, the intro may be a little drawn out but once the verse kicks I. It is amazing!
Really nice ending too, great clean vocals

The Contenders
11 I Won't See You Tonight, Pt. 2

Very emotionally jarring after the mellow in comparison part one. Fits the themes of the two parts perfectly and is very intense. This is truly one of if not THE best of A7X's metalcore songs.

The drumming on this song is epic!

I liked it! What can I say

Great guitar solo!
