So thank you to Avenged and god for bringing him back alive and for giving him the strength to lead and keep fighting for all of us. He is now retiring by no choice of his own because of ptsd and a brain injury he survived luckily after an ied explosion. Mikeee is getting the death bat tattoo in honor of the Rev and the band and what they're music did for him in the way of getting him through his tours.

It was then that I saw what he has been through and what the band to has endured with the loss of the Rev. I didn't really understand what he meant by 'this band got me through' until I saw them in concert and saw the look on his face as they played. We are stationed at Fort Eustis, Va and he took me to Pennsylvania to see Avenged sevenfold in concert. The song features on acoustic guitar Syn's stand up comedian father, Brian. It is Syn's way of saying goodbye to his friend and is the first Avenged Sevenfold song to be written both lyrically and instrumentally by him. As an infantry soldier, leader, and fan he makes me proud every second of every day. Guitarist Synyster Gates wrote this song after the band's drummer Jimmy 'The Rev' Sullivan was found dead on December 28, 2009. Without a doubt he will tell you that Avenged Sevenfold got him through every last painstaking minute of his multiple tours. He is by far one of the strongest people I know. My ex-boyfriend has been through four deployments in 8 years to Iraq and Afghanistan. I'd like to thanks synyster for inspiring me to play the guitar ever since I was fourteen. A lot of their songs has a lot of meaning to them. I also like the thanks avenged sevenfold for their music. Yet we all miss him very much and will see him soon when it's our time. Ever since their second album came out and yet I was really young back then. I've been avenged sevenfold fan for many years. It was a tragic to me when I found out in 09. This song has so much emotion towards it. At the end of the song they explain that jimmy was ready to leave this world and that they all love him very much and will see him soon when it's their time. Jimmy was the one that got syn into the band avenged sevenfold. Matt, zacky, and johnny helped write the song as well. Synyster wrote this because him and jimmy were both really close, they grew up together and partied and pretty much had each others back. This song is also a goodbye song for jimmy.

This song is basically sending out a message to jimmy that he is forever in their mind and forever in their hearts. It tells a lot about how much jimmy was so close to them and how much matt, johnny, zacky, and synyter really misses him. My meaning for so far away is very emotional song. When I had so much to say and you're so far away. Time still turns the pages of the book it's burnedĪnd the light you left remains but it's so hard to stay 'Cause as soon as I'm done, I'll be on my way Now and then I try to find a place in my mind It seems we're so invincible, the truth is so cold. I have so much to say but you're so far away. Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned.
