As I walk through the valley
of the shadow of LA
The footsteps that were next to me
have gone their separate ways
I've seen enough now
to know that beautiful things
don't always stay that way
I've done enough now
to know this beautiful place
isn't everything they say
I heard that evil comes disguised
Like the city of angels
I'm walking towards the light

Baptized in the river
I've seen a vision of my life
And I wanna be delivered
In the city was a sinner
I've done a lot of things wrong
But I swear I'm a believer
Like the prodigal son
I was out on my own
Now I'm trying to find my way back home
Baptized in the river
I'm delivered
I'm delivered

[M.Shadows:]
You're from a small town
You're gonna grow up fast
underneath these lights
Down in Hollywood
on the boulevard the dead comes back to life
To the praying Mother
And the worried Father
Let your children go
If they come back
They'll come home stronger
And if they don't you'll know

They say evil comes disguised
Like the city of angels
I'm walking towards the light

Baptized in the river
I've seen a vision of my life
And I wanna be delivered
In the city was a sinner
I've done a lot of things wrong
But I swear I'm a believer
Like the prodigal son
I was out on my own
Now I'm trying to find my way back home
Baptized in the river
I'm delivered
I'm delivered

Baptized in the river (on my own)
Baptized in the river (on my own)
I wanna be delivered
(on my own, on my own)
Baptized in the river (on my own)
I wanna be delivered
Baptized in the river (on my own)
I wanna be delivered
Baptized in the river (on my own)
I wanna be delivered
I confess I'm a sinner
I've seen a vision of my life
And I wanna be delivered!

i have alot of respect for AX7 and their one of my fav bands. I second guessed myself when i seen the title. but after listening to it, its not bad at all, especially Shadows voice in it.

I still love Good Charlotte. They're the band that pulled me from Britney back into rock (don't know how, because I don't consider GC pop-rock). And I'm a HUGE fan of A7X and I have been since 2001 so seeing them together on a song threw me for a loop, but its not that bad! I like how their voices go together.

totally different from other good charlotte music, and an excellent choice of a featured artist.

This song really shows how much M. Shadows fucked his voice, god damn... Otherwise, good song, very catchy.

I hate A7X, but the singer sounded amazing in this song.
His voice is the selling point for me.
I hope the rest of the album isn't disappointing.

It intrigues me why Avenged Sevenfold would feature in a Good Charlotte song?.. Either way their both sellouts.. I used to like A7x before they released City Of Evil.. It shows you what bands will do just to get money.

A7X are in this song because CG and A7X are similar in the fact they both make the music they want to do and for some reason everyone hates them both. syn and shads are amazing in this track

Fuck, they can't even drop the douchebag names to appear on someone else's record. M. Shadows does not sound cool and never will, get over it.

Sir! While I don't necessarily agree with your comment I will defend to the death your right to say it!

And uhm Synster Gates > Benji (or joel whoever plays guitar i don't give a damn about the actual band. out of five i'd rate this song a three just because of synster's playing)
