Personally, I think it sounds better in Latin:

Or, as Stewey puts it,
How about a little less talking and a little more shut the hell up!
Disciple of the cross and champion in suffering
Immerse yourself into the kingdom of redemption
Pardon your mind through the chains of the divine
Make way, the shepherd of fire
Avenged Sevenfold "Shepherd of Fire"
