Song lyrics
Passion in my eyes, I lived it everyday
But how could you go and 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

I feel it burn inside, burn in me 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

And I fell down, I need you here
Every note and every word
Seems so hard to take
Find me, I'm desperate

A smoking gun in 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 in this shameful way

Passion in my eyes, I lived it everyday
But how could you go, and 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

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 (Too hard 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?

Passion in my eyes, I lived it everyday
But how could you go and 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

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 to finish you

Not only were 3 other people wounded...3 other people were murdered that night. After Nathan Gale, was finished with Dimebag, he turned the gun on the audience and stage crew, killing concert attendee Nathan Bray, 23, of Columbus; club employee Erin Halk, 29 of northwest Columbus and Damageplan security guard Jeff "Mayhem" Thompson, 40 of Texas. The band's drum technician, John "Kat" Brooks and tour manager, Chris Paluska, were also injured.

No one can deny that officer James D. Niggemeyer did the right thing blowing that crazy fuckers head off with a shotgun

i guess i can see the dimebag thing...at times it seems though like it only makes sense from dimebag's POV, and sometimes from a 3rd person view...

This song is great. Has lots of emotion in it, lovely singing and instrumentals.


ABOUT IT:
It's about (Dimebag) Darrel Lance Abbott who was the lead guitarist of the thrash metal bands Pantera and Damageplan. He was murdered on December 8th performing in Alrosa Villa, Columbus, Ohio by a crazed fan named Nathan Gale. Abbott received 5 gunshot wounds. Apart from him, 3 other people were shot; An audience member, club where they were performing employee and the Damageplan Bodyguard. Nathan Gale was likely outrage with the breakup of Pantera, or he was stoned or drunk.

> Not only is the composition of this song well done but the lyrics are outstanding too. These guys did a great job improvising for the loss of the screaming with sick licks, and even more sick lyrics. Shadows does a great job with this album, despite his little predicament. I think that the fact that they produced another album, is a feat in itself that must be praised. Good job A7X! Man these guys kick ass . Need I say more?
