In My Darkest Hour

In My Darkest Hour
"In My Darkest Hour" was written by Mustaine shortly after the death of Metallica bassist Cliff Burton. Mustaine had found out through word of mouth, as his former band mates never contacted him about the tragic event that occurred in Europe. He later recalled that he was extremely unhappy that day and wrote the song in one sitting.

Also,Mustaine wrote this song because Dave Mustaine worked with Cliff Burton in his Metallica years.

Lyrics
In my hour of need

Ha you're not there

And though I reached out for you

Wouldn't lend a hand

Through the darkest hour

Grace did not shine on me

It feels so cold, very cold

No one cares for me

Did you ever think I get lonely

Did you ever think that I needed love

Did you ever think to stop thinking

You're the only one that I'm thinking of

You'll never know how hard I tried

To find my space and satisfy you too

Things will be better when I'm dead and gone

Don't try to understand, knowing you I'm probably wrong

But oh how I lived my life for you

Still you'd turn away

Now as I die for you

I walk, I walk alone

Into the promised land

There's a better place for me

But it's far, far away

Everlasting life for me

In a perfect world

But I gotta die first

Please God send me on my way

Time has a way of taking time

Loneliness is not only felt by fools

Alone I call to ease the pain

Yearning to be held by you, alone, so alone, I'm lost

Consumed by the pain

The pain, the pain, the pain

Won't you hold me again

You just laughed, ha, ha, bitch

My whole life is work built on the past

But the time has come when all things shall pass

This good thing passed away

In my darkest hour
