Array ( [sid] => 75122 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => In Memory of Dimebag Darrell [time] => 2004-12-09 22:49:23 [hometext] => * Written in memory of legendary guitarist Dimebag Darrell who was shot and killed last night playing with his new band Damageplan along with three other people. With his band Pantera he defined metal he will be missed. R.I.P 1966-2004 * [bodytext] => Shooting, shooting, shooting, shooting...
As a night of fun
Swiftly turns in a chaotic nightmare,
Gun blasts turn into screams of pain and terror
As the bullets thumped into you:
A legend snuffed out... so callously.
We take comfort in knowing
You died doing what you loved.
You will be forever in my heart,
And forever in countless other's hearts;
You were a legend,
And a mentor to many
An unspeakable travesty that you died
On a blood soaked stage
Almost an insult to your many accomplishments...
Your last breath and your last vision
Your brother, Vinnie, and his tears.

You died doing what you loved.
You will be forever in my heart,
And forever in countless other's hearts;
You were a legend,

An unspeakable travesty that you died
On a blood soaked stage
Almost an insult to your many accomplishments...
Your last breath and your last vision
Your brother, Vinnie, and his tears.
