© 2011 WMG "So Far Away" by Avenged Sevenfold from 'Nightmare,' available now.
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.

"So Far Away" 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

I am thumb-whoring, as you named it, but for a reason, I heard so many arguing that he was a drug dealer, but for those retards that are spamming bullshit, here is the truth about his death, it's simple:
Sullivan had attended a wedding reception for a friend the night before his death. The alcohol in his system due to attending had caused him to forget that he had already taken his medication for that day. His death was the result of an accidental overdose due to intoxication.

@johnnykid13561 Lol I'm glad you can barely see red on the video! :3 But I just think it's MAJORLY fucked up for anyone to dislike this song. I mean it's so sweet & touching & it came from the heart <3 I mean damn if they don't like it then they can take their Ginger ass on somewhere else! <3 .. But I think they Hit that on accident, b/c they had so many tears in their eyes they couldn't see .__.
