Letra So Far Away

A música So Far Away do Avenged Sevenfold foi escrita como uma homenagem ao baterista da banda, The Rev, que morreu em 2009. A canção reflete a dor e a saudade que os membros da banda sentiam, expressando sentimentos de perda e desejo de reencontro no futuro.

Never feared for anything
Never shamed but never free
A life to heal the broken heart
With all that it could
Lived the 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
The 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 so hard to stay
And 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 (And I need you to know)
So far away (And I need you to need you to know)
