    I'm always fascinated by the sheer artistic composition of this song. I realize that many people view Master of Puppets as Metallica's greatest song but I feel like Fade to Black is Metallica's Stairway to Heaven. It takes the listener through a melodic journey but underneath it is a dark emotion that lingers throughout until it just bursts at the end. Such a great song and a greater band; I've listened to these guys for nearly 25-years and they are my voice when I'm silent, they are my tears when I can't cry and they are my anger when I'm sitting still.

The effectiveness of his multiple hair transplants wore off a long time ago. But the Peter Green/Gary Moore guitar came with instructions on how to play his own songs.
      ..All jokes aside, if I owned that guitar, I would never travel overseas with it. Though, I'm sure he probably buys the thing its own airplane seat. Unfortunately, I am lefthanded and there were only 2 lefties ever made..so I will never own one of those badboys. Plus, I don't have 800,000$ to spend on a guitar. hehe.

    Life, it seems, will fade away
    Drifting further every day
    Getting lost within myself
    Nothing matters, no one else
    I have lost the will to live
    Simply nothing more to give
    There is nothing more for me
    Need the end to set me free
    Things are not what they used to be
    Missing one inside of me
    Deathly lost, this can't be real
    Can't stand this hell I feel
    Emptiness is filling me
    To the point of agony
    Growing darkness taking dawn
    I was me, but now he's gone
    No one but me can save myself, but it's too late
    Now I can't think, think why I should even try
    Yesterday seems as though it never existed
    Death greets me warm, now I will just say goodbye
