[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
This cold, empty house is
So quiet now she's gone
The dust accumulates into
Mountains on the ground
My paper's piled on the steps
Her flowers all have died
I'm searching everywhere
For someone I'll never find

[Chorus]
The haunting never fades, laughter's gone away
It's too late, when you've lost your soul
I left her everything, she only left my ring
My world is darker now than the blackest crow

[Verse 2]
Shadows fill this place
She's been away so long
The wallpaper leaves a stain
Where pictures once belonged
You think I would have known
Something was going on
Her kisses were so cold
Her loving touch withdrawn

[Chorus]
The haunting never fades, laughter's gone away
It's too late, when you've lost your soul
I left her everything, she only left my ring
My world is darker now than the blackest crow

[Instrumental Break]

[Spoken]
They never do teach you how to
Walk away from someone that you love

[Bridge]
The haunting never fades, laughter's gone away
I know it's too late, when you've lost your soul
The fires all but gone, my world is darker now
Than the blackest crow

[Outro]
The blackest crow
The blackest crow
The blackest crow
The blackest crow

After being kicked out of Metallica, Dave Mustaine decided to form a Thrash Metal band that not only rivaled his former band, but played faster, more technical Metal. Along with bassist David ‘Junior’ Ellefson and a revolving door of guitarists and drummers, Mustaine set the world afire as Megadeth became known as the world’s state-of-the-art Speed Metal band throughout the 80s and the early 90s. One of the Big Four of Thrash Metal, Megadeth remains one of Metal’s most popular acts today.

However, Dave Mustaine’s fledgling band got off to a shaky start. Initially unable to find like-minded individuals, it was not until an altercation with his (underage) downstairs neighbours Dave Ellefson and Greg Handevidt, that led to him buying them beer and forming the first incarnation of the band with drummer Dijon Carruthers in 1983.

The band was named after a political pamphlet that referred to a “megadeath” (one million deaths by nuclear explosion):
