Lagu  yang dipopulerkan oleh Avenged Sevenfold atau A7X ini merupakan lirik terakhir sekaligus pesan terakhir yang diutarakan The Rev (James Owen Sullivan), sang drummer yang  meninggal dunia pada 2009 karena Overdosis dan Alcohol yang berlebihan. Awalnya lagu ini berjudul Death, tetapui diganti menjadi Fiction untuk menghormati sang drummer tersebut. Sepanjang lagu ini, terdengar lantunan nada hasil dari suara piano yang dimainkan oleh The Rev saat sebelum meninggal dunia. Berikut ini lirik Fiction :

Now I think I understand
How this world can overcome a man
Like a friend we saw it through
In the end I gave my life for you

Gave you all I had to give
Found a place for me to rest my head
While I may be hard to find
Heard there's peace just on the other side

Not that I could
Or that I would
Let it burn
Under my skin
Let it burn

Left this life to set me free
Took a piece of you inside of me
All this hurt can finally fade
Promise me you'll never feel afraid

Not that I could
Or that I would
Let it burn
Under my skin
Let it burn

I hope it’s worth it, here on the highway, yeah
I know you'll find your own way when I’m not with you

So tell everybody, the ones who walk beside me, yeah
I hope you'll find your own way when I’m not with you tonight

I hope it’s worth it, what’s left behind me, yeah
I know you'll find your own way when I’m not with you

So tell everybody, the ones who walk beside me, yeah
I know you'll find your own way when I’m not with you tonight
