Acid Rain

This song follows on from "Planets" as M. Shadows sings about getting cast into space with your loved one to die after the planets collide. Guitarist Synyster Gates commented to MusicRadar.com: "It's a cool way to end the record – not a typical ballad, but it's not soft or sugary, either. The song takes you to an emotional place, especially if you pay attention to the lyrics, which are some of the best Matt has ever written." He added; "The song is about coming to the realization that you've lost the battle, but at least you're with that one special person who matters. It's something of an apocalyptic love story, which is pretty unique for us."
