This song has absolutely NOTHING to do with Jimmy dying for everyone that thinks it does. It was the first song they wrote. Jimmy loved it, so the band decided to keep it because he liked it so much. Also, the final song "Fiction" was the last track written. It was originally called "Death". They finished recorded three days before Jimmy passed away. Some of Jimmy's random lyrics are going to be in the song because there was no mic bleed and it fit in. So they renamed the song fiction, which was Jimmy's nickname. Very creepy.. Also this album was to be a concept album. It was to tell a story, Nightmare starting it and leading into song after song until the song "Death", but that was thrown out. Now Nightmare and Fiction are the two originals and the rest are a tribute to Jimmy. So Far Away is a song Synyster Gates wrote entirely about Jimmy. This is going to be a very emotional album, the first two songs have already proven this. I truely can't wait to see what's next and how this band with evolve in the future. Rest in peace Rev, my fallen brother. You opened many eyes to new music. Keep rockin' Sevenfold. Many love you and some don't, only because you've achieved mainstream status so incredibly easy. You've obviously done it all right. \m/
