License This Song 

• I've been around this world, yet I see no end.
  All shall fade to black again and again.
  This storm that's broken me, my only friend.
  Yeah
  
  In this river all shall fade to black
  In this river ain't no coming back
  In this river all shall fade to black
  Ain't no coming back
  
  Withdrawn a step away, just to find my self
  The door is closed again, the only one left
  This storm that's broken me my only friend
  Yeah
  
  In this river all shall fade to black
  In this river ain't no coming back
  In this river all shall fade to black
  
  In this river all shall fade to black
  In this river ain't no coming back
  In this river all shall fade to black
  Ain't no coming back
  
  In this river all shall fade to black
  In this river ain't no coming back
  In this river all shall fade to black
  In this river all shall fade to black
  In this river ain't no coming back
  In this river all shall fade to black
  Ain't no coming back Writer/s: ZAKK WYLDE

• Brandon from Haltom, Txjust to tell ur not the only one started to cry
• Ben from Providence, RiTo whoever said the guitar solo was odd. Theres meaning behind it. The fury of how fast he's playing over symbolizes (Maybe just to me) the anger he's feeling at the same time as sadness. I hear this song and think of my friend who died of a heroin addiction and cry because if i could play that well i would play that song for him at my band's shows
• Eric from Milltown, Inthe version zakk pulls off on the Doomtroopin' DVD is awesome. long live Dime.

• Chris from Copenhagen, Denmarka super duper song... i almost start cryin when i hear it though
• Tony from Pawtucket, RiR.I.P. Dimebag Darrel Abbott. On the guitar solo during the piano being odd...It's different, not really odd. Different.
• Sam Warren from Morristown, InZakk is a great musicain this song f***ing rocks. R.I.P. DIMEBAG DARRELL ABBOTT
• Cory from Boonville, Inanyone else notice the guitar solo during the piano playing to be a little......odd?
• Greg from Brantford, Canadait was written before dime died. In the collectors edition of guitar world it says that zakk wrote it with dime because they were best friends and he got inspired to write the song from the movie King Of Tides R.I.P Dimebag Darrel Abbott
• Eric from Milltown, Inon the pantera website, zakk made a great video tribute to dime. it has pics and video's of them together. R.I.P. Dime
• Josh from Noble, Okthis song was not written about Dimebag. the song was written before his death. zakk thought it would be a good tribute to dime so he dedicates it to him when he plays it live, but zakk is on record saying that it was written a few months before Dime's death. it is still a great tribut to one of the greatest guitarist that has ever lived.
