"So Far Away" lyrics

"So Far Away"

Never feared for anything
Never shamed but never free
A life that healed 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 awake 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 (not afraid)
The ones that we love are here with me
Lay away a place for me (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 and 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 (so far)
And I need you to know
So far away (so far)
And I need you to, need you to know

The third single for their fifth studio album. It was written completely by Synyster Gates.
The song is dedicated to Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan, the band's original drummer, who died in December 2009.
Before releasing the music video for this song, the band showed a timer on their website counting down until this event. The site crashed upon the release of the video, because too many visitor tried to watch it.
In the music video, Synyster Gates uses a guitar, whose inlays on the fret-board read "REV", and Johnny Christ wore a guitar strap with the word "foREVer" written on it.
