So Far Away

Never feared for anything
Never shamed but never free
A life that healed a 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 its 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 awake forever

How do I live without the ones I love ?
Time still turns the pages of the book its 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 its 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 and you’re so far away

I love you
You were ready
The pain is strong enough despite
But I'll see you
When He lets me
Your pain is gone, your hands are tied

So far away
And I need you to know
So far away
And I need you to
Need you to know

Diatas merupakan cuplikan lagu yang mengisahkan tentang kehilangannya Synyster Gates dkk atas Jimmy Sullivan.

Tentu perasaan sedih yang ada di diri kita jika orang yang dekat dengan kita pergi jauh dan mungkin tak akan pernah kembali lagi (rip). Itulah yang dialami oleh Synyster Gates maupun personil Avenged Sevenfold yang lain. Mereka kehilangan orang yang mereka cintai.

Kematian Jimmy “The Rev” mungkin masih menyisakan duka yang mendalam bagi mereka. Dan sedikit mirip dengan kisah mereka, akupun juga pernah merasakan hal yang sama. Kehilangan seorang sahabat.

Plans of what our futures hold
Foolish lies of growing old
It seems we’re so invincible
The truth is so cold

Rencana rencana masa depan kita

Keinginan semu saat menua

Seolah kita tak terkalahkan

Namun kebenaran begitu menyakitkan

A final song, a last request
A perfect chapter laid to rest
Now and then I try to find a place in my mind

Lagu terakhir, permintaan terakhir

Bab sempurna untuk berhenti

Berkali kali berusaha kucari, sebuah tempat dipikiranku

Where you can stay
You can stay awake forever

Dimana kau bisa tinggal

Kau bias terus terjaga selamanya

How do I live without the ones I love ?
Time still turns the pages of the book its burned
Place and time always on my mind
I have so much to say but you’re so far away

Bagaimana aku harus hidup tanpa orang-orang yang aku cintai

Waktu masih membalik buku yang dibakarnya

Kenangan lalu selalu ku pikirkan

Banyak yang ingin kukatakan namun kau begitu jauh

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

Tidurlah yang nyenyak, aku tak takut

Orang orang yang kita cinta ada disini bersamaku

Siapkan tempat untukku

Karena begitu aku mati, aku akan segera menuju

Ke kehidupan yang abadi

…..

Semoga kau tenang disana, teman..

Dan semoga kau diberikan tempat yang indah di sisi-Nya..

Amin..
