This video is a raw and emotional tribute to Avenged Sevenfold's late drummer Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan and celebrates the long-time friendship the band members have shared since forming A7X in Huntington Beach, CA, in 1999. The video was directed by Wayne Isham, who has directed videos for such artists as Metallica, Mötley Crüe, Megadeth, and Def Leppard, among many others. The heartfelt quality of the video is in keeping with the emotional resonance of the song, a very personal goodbye to Sullivan that appears on the band's album Nightmare.

Lyrics:
Never feared for anything
Never shamed but never free
A life to heal the broken heart with all that it could
Lived a life so endlessly
Saw beyond what others see
I tried to heal your broken heart with all that I could
Will you stay?
Will you stay away forever?
How do I live without the ones I love?
Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned
Place and time always on my mind
I have so much to say but you're so far away
Plans of what our futures hold
Foolish lies of growing old
It seems we're so invincible
The truth is so cold
A final song, a last request
A perfect chapter laid to rest
Now and then I try to find a place in my mind
Where you can stay
You can stay away forever
How do I live without the ones I love?
Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned
Place and time always on my mind
I have so much to say but you're so far away
Sleep tight, I'm not afraid
The ones that we love are here with me
Lay away a place for me
Cause as soon as I'm done I'll be on my way
To live eternally
How do I live without the ones I love?
Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned
Place and time always on my mind
And the light you left remains but it's so hard to stay
When I have so much to say but you're so far away
I love you
You were ready
The pain is strong and urges rise
But I'll see you
When He lets me
Your pain is gone, your hands untied
So far away
And I need you to know
So far away
And I need you to, need you to know

My son passed away 2 years ago today. He was a drummer and a huge fan of The Rev. I hope he is jamming with The Rev now like he always wanted. .

I cried when this was played in concert. They stated "this is for those who left us too soon." I could only think of my mother I had to let go back in July of 2023.

No One Cares Which Year You Are Listning To This Song Cuz it never ages

Heard this song at the gym. I'm 61 years old and it really resonated with me. I lost my husband 9 years ago and it was like he was speaking to me. It took some digging to find out who sang it. Thanks guys. I feel like I've had a message from the great beyond. Love you forever my darling

The amount of people commenting about losing someone they love... Life is so fragile, love the people around you while you still can. Unfortunately, sometimes it takes losing someone to understand the value of having them.

And to this day I still can’t forget walking into school all those years ago and seeing my best friends crying and I asked them what’s up? And they told me the rev had passed…. That destroyed us.

My father recently died. He was known for his love and knowledge of heavy metal. My brothers choose music for the service. This song was one of the songs, which I didn't know before. It was a perfect fit, thank you for making this.

My cousin committed suicide 4 years ago, at the age of 14, I used to listen to this song in her memory as I felt closer to her whenever this song was on. Yesterday her lil sister (my cousin) too committed suicide at the same age. She had been on ventilator for 10 days & yesterday when I was listening this song my mum told me that she’s passed on... This song holds so much more meaning now than it did before! It gave me strength 4 years ago when I was battling depression & has helped me to overcome my struggles & my demons. Thank you A7X for this masterpiece, I can truly understand & feel your loss!
