“Fiction” was the final song written and recorded by original drummer Jimmy “The Rev” Sullivan. The song was originally titled “Death” by The Rev.
Sullivan gave the piece to lead singer M. Shadows, and three days later, he was found dead in his apartment. In an autopsy, the cops ruled out foul play...
[Verse 1: M. Shadows and The Rev]
Now I think I understand
How this world can overcome a man
Like a friend, we saw it through
In the end, I gave my life for you
[Verse 2: M. Shadows]
Gave you all I had to give
Found a place for me to rest my head
While I may be hard to find
Heard there's peace just on the other side
[Chorus: The Rev]
Not that I could
Or that I would
Let it burn
Under my skin
Let it burn
[Verse 3: M. Shadows]
Left this life to set me free
Took a piece of you inside of me
All this hurt can finally fade
Promise me you'll never feel afraid
[Chorus: The Rev]
Not that I could
Or that I would
Let it burn
Under my skin
Let it burn
[Outro: M. Shadows and The Rev]
I hope it's worth it, here on the highway, yeah
I know you'll find your own way when I'm not with you
So tell everybody, the ones who walk beside me, yeah
I hope you'll find your own way when I'm not with you tonight
I hope it's worth it, what's left behind me, yeah
I know you'll find your own way when I'm not with you
So tell everybody, the ones who walk beside me, yeah
I know you'll find your own way when I'm not with you tonight
