In This River

This song was actually written months before Dimebag Darrell's death. It wasn't until after he was gone that Zakk Wylde realised this song summed up the emotion surrounding Dime's death. Zakk then dedicated the song to Dime and made the video after that. It is now played on every Black Label Society set, as a dedication to Dime! Wylde wrote and produced this song on his own. The vocals, piano and guitar solo were his, the only help being backing vocals from Ozzy Osbourne.

[Verse 1: Zakk Wylde] 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 [Chorus] 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fade to black In this river, ain't no coming back In this river, all shall fade to black Ain't no coming back [Verse 2] Withdrawn a step away just to find myself The door is closed again, the only one left This storm that's broken me, my only friend [Chorus] In this river, all shall fade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 Ain't no coming back [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] 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 Ain't no coming back
