I love how this song is just the exact opposite of So Far Away. So Far Away is so melancholy and sad, but this song is a celebration of life. Absolutey beautiful.
Both songs are absolutely beautiful for the remembrance of a great and talented man, artist and friend. Jimmy will forever be missed and go down in history! To the rest of the band, please don't stop making music as long as you can handle it. Your songs are extremely influential and happen to be some of the best rock and roll/ metal art on the market today. Most of this new shit is exactly that, shit! You guys continue to kill it! Please keep going!
Dragon's Lord The song was on Hail to The King. But this wasn’t recorded with that album. They just put it on there. It was before that. And even so, HTTK and The Stage sound very different vocally.
@@dragonslord6377 Can't you read? He's right, St. James is included in HTTK Deluxe edition, but it was recorded way back when the álbum Nightmare came out.
This is the story of a man, Who conquered life drink in hand Ship unmanned. Marked by genius, channelled good, By some a bit misunderstood. They'd been wrong many times before Some times our saints are sinners, They blur the lines and lead the way, Their Way. Raise hell and a glass in reverence, The fearless lives of our great saints - our saints. Never a stranger to late night snake Bite fist fights and empty pints, Unrivaled heights. He led with songs, they sang along, Created bonds that held so strong Some were right and some were wrong Some times our saints are sinners, They blur the lines and lead the way, Their Way. Raise hell and a glass in reverence, The fearless lives of our great saints, our saints. It's by the sea and at nights end that's when the sin and swill begin That's when he had that certain light inside his head For every whisper he would scream for every draught he shared a drink For every sorrow there is a light from our St. James On the sea by the cliff he watches, he waits the night to see The day - his way Last call will find us all But there's a light that leads the way, our way. Some times our saints are sinners, They blur the lines and lead the way, Their Way. Raise hell and a glass in reverence, The fearless lives of our great saints - our saints.
I always feel dumb when I get sad about a celebrity dying. But fuck, man. These guys created such influential works of art. In that, they shared themselves with us. And when they felt this loss, they shared it with us, too. And he won't ever create anything ever again, and we all lost him, and if I'm stupid then fuck it. We miss you, man.
Don’t feel dumb I’m sad also about that he didn’t deserve to die he had drug problems and it’s hard to open up about drug problems when he struggled I bet he couldn’t get help because he was scared to open up about it I almost ended up taking drugs I got put in back of a cop car because I struggled with mental health I would always drink under age I’m not proud of that it’s not my parents fault my moms mom came for a drug family my grandma is the reason my moms bother is doing drugs he’s probably dead thanks for caring man I’m 17 years old now much love man forever tell people to do what they want and not give a fuck I ended up making it out alive much love
Jimmy knew his time was closing in on him he had a enlarged heart Condition and was given by the Dr till 30 to make it and I believe it caused him a bit of pain. I could be wrong but he wrote songs about it. Brompton cocktail was one of them. I believe he just couldn't handle it anymore. He seemed to enjoy life too much to just purposely end it.
@@KieranKongus he died because he, most likely accidentally, took his heart meds with alcohol. This is, however, usually referred to as a brompton cocktail, a song he wrote.

I still remember when I discovered a7x, Jimmy had three years dead, the same year I met a7x, it took me a while to realize it, Jimmy had become one of my favorites guys of the band and without realizing it I didn't know that there was no possibility to knowing him one day, he was so talented, he had a very good voice, ability to interpret, and obviously he played the drums very well, added to one of the 100 best drummers of all time. Today, I repeat a7x will always be my favorite band, it still is after a few years, and today I cried again for Jimmy's tragic loss, once again with this song. Jimmy will always be in our hearths. foREVer
Same. Started in 2012 and was surprised they were in one of my favorite video games: Call of Duty Black Ops 1 and 2. Looked them up on wikipedia to learn more about them and was surprised that it showed jimmy was a former member. Once I clicked on his name to learn more I found out that he passed away.
I got to see him play live at Taste of Chaos in OKC. Jimmy was amazing I mostly watched him play drums throughout the event. M Shadows vocals were better live then on the CD that night I was in a trance like state. But I was mesmerized for sure. It was like a dream watched them down off the balcony from above. A dream I tell u. Then I woke up and drove home. Fucking amazing absolutely amazing
This song reminds me of someone I loved and lost. Tommy Korinec. It is almost 20 years since you left us. I have no words to express what a gentle and kind person he was. Your friends and loved ones will always miss you. Just putting this out into the universe because I believe that somehow Tom will know how loved he still is.
Last call will find us all, but there’s a light that leads a way. … that line hit hard I can resonate with this one. I got more than a few loved ones somewhere out there, that have been long gone from down here waiting for me when that time comes.
Well I'm not going to sleep tonight and I have work tomorrow. This song is beautiful and I'll drink and raise a glass to the knife master himself. foREVer
A7X has a special place in my heart. Theyre music helped me through some extremely hard times. When my mother left, my grandfather's death it just goes on. They helped me through it all.

This song was written for the Man, the Myth, the Legend: Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan. Never stop playing here or the next world. Till we all meet you again, R.I.P Jimmy. From all fans..you deserve the well needed rest.
The bass line in this song and also that of Shepherd of Fire are one of the best bass lines of Johnny Christ... At least in my opinion. It's just head stunning! ⚡❤️🔥🪕

Don’t forget about fiction I’d say all there have there own special meaning given the times they were released

Imagine the crowd singing along to the melody.
this song has never gotten enough love in my eyes. always been a top 5 song of theirs imo
Would be an awesome experience live
This is the story of a man,
Who conquered life drink in hand
Ship unmanned.
Marked by genius, channelled good,
By some a bit misunderstood.
They'd been wrong many times before
Some times our saints are sinners,
They blur the lines and lead the way,
Their Way.
Raise hell and a glass in reverence,
The fearless lives of our great saints - our saints.
Never a stranger to late night snake
Bite fist fights and empty pints,
Unrivaled heights.
He led with songs, they sang along,
Created bonds that held so strong
Some were right and some were wrong
Some times our saints are sinners,
They blur the lines and lead the way,
Their Way.
Raise hell and a glass in reverence,
The fearless lives of our great saints, our saints.
It's by the sea and at nights end that's when the sin and swill begin
That's when he had that certain light inside his head
For every whisper he would scream for every draught he shared a drink
For every sorrow there is a light from our St. James
On the sea by the cliff he watches, he waits the night to see
The day - his way
Last call will find us all
But there's a light that leads the way, our way.
Some times our saints are sinners,
They blur the lines and lead the way,
Their Way.
Raise hell and a glass in reverence,
The fearless lives of our great saints - our saints.

How in the fuck did they ever perform this song without crying like a baby?. 12 years after the revs passing I still cry to this song
You may need to talk to someone about this
I bet they still do, just hold it together long enough to complete the show.
I don't cry, but this is a song that I basically only listen to when I take drugs/alc. So I'm definitely in my feelings.

Rock on 🤟 and keep rocking. A7X foREVer

It's been ten fucking years, where is he?!
He actually said he heard that quote. He didn't make it up.

Musicianship w/ the drums & guitars is also amazing. Best melody out in ages.
It's from Nightmare era so I guess it's Mike on drums?
Raised hell in a glass with reverance 🍷💎🤟🏼
Remember hearing this back in 2013 🤙 still rocks in 2020

One of my best friends James died a few days ago. He always told me to play this at his funeral.
are you doing ok?
He's not a saint though😒, plus Saint James isn't in Christian believe or roman catholic believe.... He is very ancient
Hope you were able to play this at his funeral, and that you are doing alright.

This is the story of a man
Who conquered life drink in hand
Ship unmanned
Marked by genius, channelled good
By some a bit misunderstood
They'd been wrong many times before
Sometimes our saints are sinners
They blur the lines and lead the way
Their way
Raise hell and a glass in reverence
The fearless lives of our great saints
Our saints
Never a stranger to late night
Snake bite, fist fights and empty pints
Unrivaled heights
He led with songs, they sang along
Created bonds that held so strong
Some were right and some were wrong
Sometimes our saints are sinners
They blur the lines and lead the way
Their way
Raise hell and a glass in reverence
The fearless lives of our great saints
Our saints
It's by the sea and at nights end
That's when the sin and swill begin
That's when he had that certain light inside his head
For every whisper he would scream
For every draught he'd share a drink
For every sorrow there's a light from our St. James
On the sea by the cliff he watches
He waits the night to see the day
His way
Last call will find us all
But there's a light that leads the way
Our way
Sometimes our saints are sinners
They blur the lines and lead the way
Their way
Raise hell and a glass in reverence
The fearless lives of our great saints
Our saints
