Fade to Black (Live) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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, ohh
Simply nothing more to give
There is nothing more for me
I need the end to set me free, yeah

[Verse 2]
Things not what they used to be
I’m missing one inside of me
Deathly loss, this can't be real
I Can’t stand this hell I feel
Emptiness is filling me
To the point of agony
Growing darkness taking dawn, yeah
I was me, but now he's gone, yeah yeah
Hey!

[Bridge]
No one but me can save myself, but it's too late
Now I can't think, think why I should even try, ooh yeah
Yesterday seems as though it never existed
Death greets me warm, now I will just say goodbye
Goodbye...
Oooh yeah
Come on, baby
Get goin’!
Show me, baby!
[Instrumental Outro]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
