Lyrics

He who makes a beast out of himself
Gets rid of the pain of bein' a man
Mah!

Caught here in a fiery blaze
I won't lose my will to stay
I tried to drive all through the night
The heatstroke ridden weather
The barren empty sights

No oasis here to see
The sand is singing deathless words to (me)

Can't you help me as I'm startin' to burn
Too many doses and I'm startin' to get an attraction
My confidence is leavin' me on my own
No one can save and you know I don't want the attention

I adjust to my new sights
The rarely tired lights
Will take me too new heights

My hand is on the trigger
I'm ready to ignite
Tomorrow, might not make it
But everything's all right

Mental fiction, follow me
Show me what it's like to be set (free)

Can't you help me as I'm startin' to burn
Too many doses and I'm startin' to get an attraction
My confidence is leaving me on my own
No one can save and you know I don't want the attention

So sorry you're not here
I've been sane too long my vision's so unclear
Now take a trip with me
But don't be surprised when things aren't what they seem

Caught here in a fiery blaze
I won't lose my will to stay
These eyes won't see the same
After I flip today

Sometimes I don't know why
We'd rather live than die
We look up towards the sky
For answers to our lives

We may get some solutions
But most just pass us by
Don't wan't your absolution
'Cause I can't make it right

I'll make a beast out of myself
Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Get's rid of all the pain of bein' a
Man

Can't you help me as I'm startin' to burn
Too many doses and I'm startin' to get an attraction
My confidence is leavin' me on my own
No one can save me and you know when I want the attention

So sorry you're not here
I've been sane too long my vision's so unclear
Now take a trip with me
But don't be surprised when things aren't what they seem

I've known it from the start
All these good ideas will tear your brain apart
Scared, but you, you follow me
I'm too weird to live
But much too rare to die

Difficulty Level and Description

• Bat Country is found in Guitar Hero Warriors of Rock as a full band playable track. Here are the difficulty ratings from 10 to 100. 10 being the easiest, 100 being the hardest.
• Guitar: 60. The song is extremely hard on guitar with a lot of strumming, hammer-ons, and pull-offs. The solo is very hard but only lasts a minute. This is for hardcore players.
• Bass: 60. The song is not like the guitar (difficulty wise) but it does have some fast strumming, despite the lack of a solo, open notes, and a tricky HO/PO run in the intro. This is for advanced players.
• Drums: 90. Expert Plus: 95. This song is close to being the hardest on drums along with Chemical Warfare, Bloodlines, and more. Avenged Sevenfold is known for their fast-paced drumming and their drummer, Jimmy (The Rev) Sullivan, who has passed away. What makes this song additionally hard is Expert Plus. This is for experts only.
• Vocals: 4. There is a yelling section early in the song and also a vocal harmony. A bit tricky, but it's for intermediate players.

Trivia

The third verse in both the Guitar Hero and Rock Band charts of this song is different from the studio release. Instead of the dualing harmonizing guitars, both charts use the unison bends from the solo as a replacement. No official reason was given as to why the original harmonizing guitars weren't present, until the band released an episode from their series "Breakdown" which focuses on a behind the scenes look on their songs. A two-part episode focused on Bat Country was released in 2019, and on the second part, the vocalist and bassist were shocked when they discovered that the master-tracks for the harmonizing guitar parts were completely missing from the project file. Somebody had mishandled it, and as such, a part of the song was missing, and both Neversoft and Harmonix had to improvise by utilizing the unison bends present in the first part of the solo beforehand. This makes Bat Country one of the few songs to feature a notable difference from their studio versions. Avenged Sevenfold Presents Breakdown: Bat Country - Part 02 of 02
