Lyrics:
In my hour of need
Ha, no, you're not there
And though I reached out for you
Wouldn't lend a hand

Through the darkest hour
Your grace did not shine on me
Feels so cold, very cold
No one cares for me

Did you ever think I'd get lonely?
Did you ever think that I needed love?
Did you ever think, 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
Till you'd turn away
Now, as I die for you
My flesh still crawls as I breathe your name
All these years, I thought I was wrong
Now I know it was you
Raise your head, raise your face, your eyes
Tell me who you think you are?

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 got to 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, you bitch

My whole life is work built on the past
The time has come when all things shall pass
This good thing passed away

for some reason I never listened to the original recording and god this is 10x better

[IscariotHeartwork]

how the fuck is this way better than the remastered version

[paulmcginty]

This song has absolutely every thing you could want in a metal epic haunting cascading sound just before it enters into the first verse....The rock beat during the verses and then that manic part just as he starts singing I walk alone, to the thrashiness part at everlasting life for perfection 👌

[alexandrerojkov]

I keep the song in my Beethoven collection

[Davivd]

Thank you. The remastered version of this album is fucking atrocious.

[apop]

The song that's my first listened megadeth song and it introduced me with one of my favorite bands 💯

[CLELIFE]

MEGADETH'S TOP 10 IN MY OPINION. The Please god send me on my way lyric. Then that solo at 3:48 = perfection🔥🔥

[jfmallon]

The beginning is nearly the same riff as 5 Magics

[shaunshuping]

Much prefer the gunshot snare over the dull thud in the remaster

[number]

Is the intro acoustic riff supposed to be missing? Just wondering

[jackjamesgodsell]

That's a tribute to Cliff Burton of Metallica who passed away in 86.
