Passion in my eyes, I lived it everyday, but how could you go throw it all away?
In my dreams it's me and you, it's there I saw it all come true
As time went by faith in you grew, so one thing's left for me to do (finish you)

I feel it burn inside, burn like the rising sun
Lifted into the sky, took away the only thing I loved
I know after tonight all your power crumbles in my arms
So don't worry, I'll be fine, when my life ends, I'll leave this scar

A smoking gun in your hand, now don't you realize what you've done
Put a bullet in his back, your hero since you were so young
How could you kill the man who brought salvation through your pain
He must mean everything to end it all this shameful way

I started here so young and helped you get along
Just did it for the love, and people healed through us
Don't live your life in vain, don't take it out on me
You're cracked, so just remember, I'm not your enemy
I don't deserve to fall this way, by a man who felt betrayed

I felt so down now you're around to rescue me
Every note and every word i'm listening
Sometimes problems seem too deep to take
Sometimes I cry thinking my future looks so bleak
Finally, together we were destined, I know what's best for us in the end
Someone hear me, someone stop me, someone listen, why aren't you listening?

    General Comment:I have listened to every pantera song, and I honestly beleive that dimebag could have been the greatest guitarist ever. Nathan gale was the mentally handicapped person who shot him. then he was shot in the head by officer niggemeyer's shotgun. dimebag is now ranked as the 43 best guitarist of all time.

    avenged 7x rule is right about the versus also

    General Comment:I absolutely adore this song. Besides the fact that I would never, EVER even DREAM of hurting any of the guys, this kind of explains how I feel about Avenged Sevenfold. They've gotten me through everything. This song is just amazing, though. The emotions it seeps out can effect anyone.
    R.I.P. Dimebag; we miss you.

    General Comment:It's not "the harsh truth" because it's something that didn't need to be said. If you believe that then good for you, however to rub it in to someone, is ignorant and unnecessary - and dare I say, very preachy? I don't have a problem with people believing what they want, but to throw it in someone's face like that disgusts me.

    And no, it isn't the "harsh truth" if you have no belief in God or an afterlife. kthx.

    General Comment:People_error136, no offense cause it's your religion and that but that was a pretty harsh thing to say to someone who's brother obviously had suffered something so bad he decided to take his own life. People shouldn't have to suffer if they want to, but to suggest he is still suffering is just unfair.


    Anyway what was i saying, oh yeah i think wilso666 pretty much summed this song up completely. This is one of my favourite a7x songs.

    RIP Dimebag x

    General Comment:Jesus was a Jew. The romans didn't kill him, his own people did.

    But this song is about Dimebag Darrel.

    General Comment:I am sorry to hear about your brother. You probably don't want to know this, but from my Christian views, suicide is a mortal sin, and he's nowhere peaceful now.

    I kinda thought this song had a biblical standpoint also.
    Jesus was betrayed when Judas handed him over to the Jews, thus Matt Sanders saying, "I don't deserve to fall this way by a man who felt betrayed."
    But now I know that its about Darrel Abbott.
