But it's too late Growing darkness taking dawn There is nothing more for me Missing one inside of me To the point of agony Need the end to set me free Deathly lost, this can't be real Songwriters: Clifford Lee Burton, Kirk L Hammett, James Alan Hetfield, Lars Ulrich Yesterday seems as though Think why I should even try Drifting further every day Now I can't think Nothing matters, no one else Cannot stand this hell I feel Death greets me warm Now I will just say goodbye Things not what they used to be No one but me can save myself I was me but now he's gone Simply nothing more to give Life it seems will fade away Getting lost within myself It never existed I have lost the will to live Emptiness is filling me
Twisted Jesus, funny thing is that one day while channel surfing, I saw a live performance of "Fade to Black" on a Christian channel and it was one hell of a performance. Once the live clip was over, I changed the channel.

God damn, this outro is something special. Kirk Hammett, you are ridiculous.
|
||
An all time great. Great music. Great lyrics. Ridiculously good solo. Flawless.
|

I remember some christian idiot trying to tell me that Metallica were devil worshipers (I know, right?) and this song was an attempt to promote teen suicide. God, I hate religious people.
|
||
i dont want them to try to come back 2 this. last time, they got conflicted between then and now and St. Anger happened, and we dont want another St. Anger.
|
||
All time favorite song and the best Metallica song. Also my favorite album. I agree with all of you, They need to come back to this time.
|
||
everyone is comparing this to one. Well I love both but i think fade to black is more deeper and more musically inclined. The music on One has an angrier feel to it whereas this one has more of a haunting true reality to it. One is also good for anyone who was in the military....
|
||
o jeez this brings back so many memories...i f only they were like this now
|
||
Great song. And yes, I wish the original Metallica would return as well.

(='.'=) (")_(") This is Mr. Bunny! Post him as a comment for every song and watch him take over Pandora! Do it, or I'll shoot your face! Do it, or you will see your crush making out with someone else! Hurry! You don't have much time!!!!! |
||
people always compare this song to "One" it is very similar but I like this song better, but that's just my opinion
|
||
This is a great suicide song!!!!!!!! ! Just kidding
This is my number 1 favorite Metalica song! |
||
ok...Im not the only one that feels like its time to waste everyone within range or just myself when this song is on am I? Catch me in the right mood and Ill take us both out during "death greets me warm"...this is normal right...regu l a r random behavior...o r is it something more...CALM YOURSELF!...

Hey, if this is your favorite Metallica song, check out "One" on the "...And Justice for All" album. It's very similar to "Fade to Black," but I think it goes a little deeper.
|
||
True rockers know Metallica is the best of all!!!!! Half way's and wanna be's no need to bother!!!!!
|
||
This song is so awesome!!! I love it. The first Metallica song I ever heard. Won me over in one listen.
|
||
I agree...I dont really care for Metallica but had to stop working for a bit to see who this was and it kinda floored me..
|
||
This a great song, in my opinion it might be Metallica's best, i realized recently that One is probably the most depressing/ saddest song in guitar hero history
|
||
great song, his voice has an almost haunting tone to it talking about such dark things at such a young age, the song sounds good live when he performs it around the Black album era also
|
||
It's not on Guitar Hero III.... That's One. I could tell by just listening to it, but for those of you who couldn't, you have to click on the name of the song, which happens to be "One". You are basically forced to read the song titles before you play. It might be on Guitar Hero: Metallica, though.
But Metallica is my second favorite band(after Black Sabbath), so I would know what songs by them are featured in Guitar Hero. |

Be carefull, very carefull. You dont' want to go there. I may need spelling lessons. A favorite . Hee, hee.
