Life it seems, will fade away
Drifting further every day
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters no one else
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
Cannot stand this hell I feel
Emptiness is filling me
To the point of agony
Growing darkness taking dawn
I was me, but now Has gone
No one but me can save myself, but it to 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 good-bye
Fade to Black被人们称为让人绝望致死的圣歌。一位少年自杀后留下的遗言要求在葬礼上播放Metallica的这首歌曲,并引起其它少年自杀者的效仿,不少人在遗书上抄录了这首歌的歌词。但更多的人认为这首歌让他们学会重新审视生活,给了他们生存的勇气。Metallica的经典演绎让人感到了灵魂上的震撼,但这种让人心碎的柔和不知不觉就侵蚀到你的内心,无法自已。无论从旋律到歌词,从歌词到演绎都显得无懈可击,刻骨铭心而又荡气回肠。
