The Plague (In Memory Of James Sullivan (Avenged Sevenfold))
THE rev tholomew PLAGUE (lyrics included) Current mood: inspired .. Just as we were about to end this year and start a fresh new one with ambition to break into the music scene. We got unexpected news of Jimmy's passing. We were all texting and calling each other like crazy hoping to get some news that it was all just a fucked up rumor. But once reality hit the next day that it was true, we came into Garrett's home studio inspired rather then depressed. Instead of sulking around we were determined to use this once in a lifetime negative energy to create something beautiful. A piece of art that we will foREVer listen to and remember just what we were feeling. Well we created 'The Plague'. Our longest most epic song yet. It's both beautiful and kick ass, a song we hope The Rev is jamming to right now. We hope you all can too.
RIP. Jimmy <3 This one is for you. ~CobraCocktail
..The Plague
***Intro
it's too late to save you from this plague my son please forgive me father i know not what i've done
***verse 1
down beneath the blackness there lives and angry soul the image of a young boy that died so long go how could this happen this selfish mistake that could eat someone up from the inside and take
every single breathe that I have to make it right the battle that's been lost but i still put up a fight now that i've given so much of my self is there anything left that can save me from hell
***Chorus
so spare me all your helpless and pityfull lies that have blinded and covered my eyes as you whisper softly now i know that its hard to decide but just make up you mind for me please as im begging you down on my knees so help me God
***pre verse
come on boy make your pick I haven't got all night cause I possess the sin you need to make you feel alright
***verse 2
down this road of darkness I've come to know and love the angels sing of sorrow from heavens up above Don't worry girls I'll be up in a few, it's not like Im going to pass away soon
death is never honest and doesn't seem to care if taking you off of this planet would t-t-t tear up the hearts of the ones that you loved by seizing your body and drinking the blood oh bebe
***Chorus
spare me (wont you spare me this please) all your helpless and pitiful lies (that have forsaken me) that have blinded and covered my eyes (so that I could see) as you whisper softly now i know that its hard to decide but just make up you mind for me please as im begging you down on my knees so help me God
***Bridge
as the reverend went before the holy counsel demons from heaven and hell came forth and sang
He belongs with us tonight Give us what is ours or fight He belongs with us tonight Give us what is ours or fight
oh my body is gone yes i know but babe i had to go this earth was not meant for me
so take my words with you and hold them close till you grow old don't be afraid cause I will be right here in your heart i'll never leave in the dark with you i'll be i was blind but now you see oh OH OH
***Chorus
.. spare me (wont you spare me this please) all your helpless and pitiful lies (that have forsaken me) that have blinded and covered my eyes (so that I could see) as you whisper softly now i know that its hard to decide but just make up you mind for me please as im begging you down on my knees so help me God
