In My Darkest Hour
Megadeth Lyrics

In my hour of need
During the time when I needed someone the most

Heh, no, you're not there
You were never there for me

And though I reached out for you
Despite the fact that I asked for your help

Wouldn't lend a hand
You refused to give me any assistance

Through the darkest hour
During the toughest of times

Your grace did not shine on me
I did not receive any divine intervention or support from you

Feels so cold, very cold
I feel completely alone and abandoned

No one cares for me
It seems like nobody really gives a damn about me

Did you ever think I'd get lonely?
Did it ever occur to you that I might become lonely?

Did you ever think that I needed love?
Did you ever think that I required affection?

Did you ever think to stop thinking
Did you ever consider not focusing solely on yourself

You're the only one that I'm thinking of
You're all I can think about

You'll never know how hard I tried
You'll never grasp how much effort I exerted

To find my space and satisfy you too
To establish my own identity without disregarding your desires

Things will be better
My situation will improve

When I'm dead and gone
Only after I pass away

Don't try to understand
Do not bother trying to comprehend my feelings

Knowing you, I'm probably wrong
Because of your tendencies, it's likely that I am incorrect

But, oh, how I lived my life for you
I've spent my entire existence trying to please you

Still you'd turn away
Even so, you'd ignore me

Now, as I die for you
As I perish in your honor

My flesh still crawls as I breathe your name
Every time I say your name, it makes me physically uncomfortable

All these years, I thought I was wrong
For many years, I believed I was mistaken

Now I know it was you
Now I understand that it was you who was the root of my problems

Raise your head, raise your face, your eyes
Look up and make eye contact with me directly

Tell me who you think you are
Explain your actions and why you believe you're better than me

I walk, I walk alone
I journey alone

To the promised land
Towards my ultimate goal or destination

There's a better place for me
Somewhere that is more ideal for me

But it's far, far away
Unfortunately, it is quite distant

Everlasting life for me
Immortality is what I want

In a perfect world
In an ideal version of reality

But I got to die first
I must first pass away

Please, God, send me on my way
Imploring God to take me to the afterlife

Time has a way of taking time
Time seems to pass slowly

Loneliness is not only felt by fools
Being lonely is not exclusive to foolish people

Alone, I call to ease the pain
I shout out to alleviate my suffering

Yearning to be held by you, alone
Desiring to be embraced by just you

So alone, I'm lost
I'm completely helpless and unsure

Consumed by the pain
The suffering has taken over me completely

The pain, the pain, the pain
The anguish I feel is indescribable

Won't you hold me again?
Can't you just hold me in your arms like you used to?

You just laughed, ha, ha, you bitch
You merely scoffed and derided me, you contemptible individual

My whole life is work built on the past
Everything I've accomplished throughout my existence was based on my past experiences and history

The time has come when all things shall pass
The moment has arrived when all things must come to an end

This good thing passed away
This positive situation is now over
