Dear God
“Avenged Sevenfold Lyrics”

A lonely road, crossed another cold state line

Miles away from those I love, purpose hard to find
While I recall all the words you spoke to me
Can't help but wish that I was there
Back where I'd love to be, oh yeah

Dear God, the only thing I ask of you

Is to hold her when I'm not around
When I'm much too far away
We all need that person who can be true to you
But I left her when I found her
And now I wish I'd stayed
'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
I'm missing you again, oh no...
Once again

There's nothing here for me, on this barren road

There's no one here while the city sleeps
And all the shops are closed
Can't help but think of the times I've had with you
Pictures and some memories will have to help me through, oh yeah

Dear God, the only thing I ask of you

Is to hold her when I'm not around
When I'm much too far away

We all need that person who can be true to you
I left her when I found her
And now I wish I'd stayed
'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
I'm missing you again, oh no...
Once again

Some search, never finding a way

Before long, they waste away
I found you, something told me to stay
I gave in, to selfish ways
And how I miss someone to hold
When hope begins to fade...

A lonely road, crossed another cold state line

Miles away from those I love, purpose hard to find

Dear God, the only thing I ask of you

Is to hold her when I'm not around
When I'm much too far away
We all need the person who can be true to you
I left her when I found her
And now I wish I'd stayed
'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
I'm missing you again, oh no...
Once again

He was found dead in his home, Huntington Beach area. Based on the results of the autopsy,
Sullivan was pronounced dead due to heart disease and the combined effects of drugs and
alcohol on his body in 2009. This news had made many musicians, including Sullivan's best
friend, Zacky Vegeance very sad.

CAREER
Although it has been formed since 1999, Avenged Sevenfold's first album, entitled
SOUNDING THE SEVENTH TRUMPET was only released in 2002. The release of this album
was followed by the second album WAKING THE FALLEN (2003). In the second album the
group performed with XL Rose, Kylie Minogue and Chris Cornell. Followed later album CITY
OF EVIL (2005) and AVENGED SEVENFOLD (2007).
The group that had been in Jakarta on August 7, 2007, later chose the path of pop music.
This is said to have been criticized by many of his works 'adopting' sound effects that had been
hit before. They claim heavy metal is not suitable for him, and prefers pop music.
Since then, the band has continued to work and spawned various albums which were
quite successful in the market. In Indonesia alone, Avenged Sevenfold was popular with his
single, Dear God, which had become the best-selling single in the Indonesian music market.

 Shortly after, the sad news about Sullivan's death was enough to affect Avied Sevenfold's
career. The band seemed to be very devastated by the departure of one of its personnel. But a
year later, the atmosphere of grief was actualized in a work titled NIGHMARE. One of the
singles, Nightmare, had dominated the market by winning first place on the Billboard ladder.
