This song appeared as the final track on A7X’s fifth studio album, Nightmare.
On December 28th, 2009, Jimmy Sullivan (Avenged Sevenfold’s drummer) was found dead. This song, which appeared half a year later, recounts the pain and grief that the band members felt after his loss.
At 10:56, “Save Me”...
[Intro]
Skull!
[Interlude]
[Refrain]
(They all know)
(They all know)
[Verse 1]
Sorry, did I wake your dream? Some questions run too deep
We only, only wake up when we sleep
Led by the lunar light, trouble's all we find
Lost our way tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
Is it somethin' we said?
Is it somethin' we said to them?
Is it somethin' we said?
[Chorus]
(Save me)
I'm trapped in a vile world
(Save me)
Where the endgame's all the same as every other
We're only here to die
(Save me)
I'm losin' my only dream
(Save me)
I can use some guiding light, some place to go
If ya hear me, let me know
[Refrain]
(They all know)
(They all know)
[Verse 2]
Ever since the day you left, my fate's been set unknown
How many years to walk this path alone?
So much to see tonight, so why'd you close your eyes?
Why can't I shut mine?
[Pre-Chorus]
Is it somethin' we did?
Is it somethin' we did to them?
Is it somethin' we did?
[Chorus]
(Save me)
I'm trapped in a vile world
(Save me)
Where the endgame's all the same as every other
We're only here to die
(Save me)
I'm losin' my only dream
(Save me)
I can use some guiding light, some place to go
If ya hear me, let me know
If ya hear me, let me know
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Help me find my way
Said help me find my way
[Breakdown]
No pulse inside of me
Stone cold lips and heresy
All lies, and to a degree
Losing who I wanna be
You'll find out right now
He may be out of his mind
But someday, you will find
That sanity's left us all blind
And dragged us all behind
A moment seen through those eyes
Crystal blue disguise
They say that all beauty must die
I say it just moves on
If you'd only open your mind
Then someday, you will find
Insanity left us behind
And walked right through the door
I can see the pictures clear as yesterday
Pictures all my own
I can hear the voices begging you to stay
But know you're not alone
[Chorus]
(Save me)
I'm trapped in a vile world
(Save me)
Where the endgame's all the same as every other
We're only here to die
(Save me)
I'm losin' my only dream
(Save me)
I can use some guiding light, some place to go
If ya hear me, let me know
If ya hear me, let me know
[Interlude]
[Outro]
Tonight we all die young
Tonight we all die young
Tonight we all die young
Tonight we all die young
Tonight we all die young
Tonight we all die young
Tonight we all die
Tonight we all die young
