In Loving Memory of James Owen Sullivan

You were a phenomenal drummer
No doubt that was true
On the 28th of December
Was when we lost you

A7X fans will remember
Not only your insane talent
But the way you chased that “stallion duck”
With relentless valiance

You never failed to make me smile
With your drunken karate kicks
The “Grapes in the Mouth” song
Always twirling those drum sticks

A spoonful of you
Surely made the whole world go down
But now that you’re gone
I do nothing but frown

No longer can we witness
Your creative genius in motion
Though the songs you have written
Have made you an inspiration

And that’s not just to me
But to Avenged Sevenfold fans all over the world
You see
And I hope you knew that

You’re my hero, Jimmy
That’s a given
But God must’ve needed a drummer
So keep on rockin’
In your little piece of Heaven
