Part 1: Never Walk Alone

[Verse 1]
Hiding in any doorway, in any shadow
Any place where danger waits to kill my time
There is one who loves and waits to seal your fate
As sure as you live and die
Live and die, live and die

[Chorus]
When you feel that something's wrong
I'll shelter you and keep you warm
I'll never let you walk alone
I loved you when you still hated me
I'm coming and it won't be long
Time to reap what I have sown
Never ever let you walk alone
I know your enemy, it once was me

[Verse 2]
Let me wrap my arms all around you
Suffer the trespasses that you've made
I will drink your pain away
Forever and a day
If you just call out my name
If you just call, call my name
If you just call, even whisper it

[Chorus]
When you feel that something's wrong
I'll shelter you and keep you warm
I'll never let you walk alone
I loved you when you still hated me
I'm coming and it won't be long
It's time to reap what I have sown
Never ever let you walk alone
I know your enemy, it once was me

Part 2: A Call to Arms

[Instrumental Interlude]

Part 1: Never Walk Alone (continued...)

[Chorus]
When you feel that something's wrong
I'll shelter you and keep you warm
I'll never let you walk alone
I loved you when you still hated me
I'm coming and it won't be long
It's time to reap what I have sown
Never ever let you walk alone
I know your enemy, it once was me

[Chorus]
When you feel that something's wrong
I'll shelter you and keep you warm
I'll never let you walk alone
I loved you when you still hated me
I'm coming and it won't be long
Time to reap what I have sown
Never ever let you walk alone
I know your enemy, it once was me

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):
