Never Walk Alone...A Call To Arms

As posted by Dave Mustaine on the Megadeth forums:

i am damn proud of y'all for being so open about what you think the lyrics are about.

ah, shoot, i am sure that there is some feelings towards the past, towards the band break up, towards the music business, towards the personal life, and an obvious inference towards my life-changing experience in 2002 . . .

but mostly, it is just a promise song for all of us that at no time will there ever NOT be someone who loves you; whether its me and the boys, the other Droogs here, for some - God or god - for me JC - for others "higher power" - and for the rest something else or nothing at all.

it is in a nutshell a love song that you will never be alone - and yes, i knew about the football team in england AND ireland!

so now that we know its a love song - of course the she wolves can have it dedicated to them

This song is about Mustaine's Religion. He was an atheist and know he is a christian so he write this song for god . I learned it in a interwiew.

No one has commented on this song yet? It's possibly the best song of the new album (which is saying something)

Not quite sure what it's about though

i reckon its about protecting someone or some shit like that. fucking great song

Brilliant, Brilliant song. Lyrics are a bit wrong, here is it fixed up

Hiding in any the door way And any shadow Any place where danger Waits to kill my time There is one who lies and waits To seal your fate As sure as you live and die Live and die Live and die

When you feel that somethings wrong I'll shelter you and keep you warm I'll never let you walk alone I loved you when you still hated me Im comin and it wont be long Time to reap what I have sewn Never ever let you walk alone I know your enemy once was me

Let me wrap my arms all around you Suffer the trespasses that you 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 Or even whisper it

When you feel that something wrong I'll shelter you and keep you warm I'll never let you walk alone I loved you when you still hated me Im comin and it wont be long Time to reap what I have sewn Never ever let you walk alone I know your enemy it once was me

When you feel that something wrong I'll shelter you and keep you warm I'll never let you walk alone I loved you when you still hated me Im comin and it wont be long Time to reap what I have sewn Never ever let you walk alone I know your enemy it once was me

When you feel that something wrong I'll shelter you and keep you warm I'll never let you walk alone I loved you when you still hated me Im comin and it wont be long Time to reap what I have sewn Never ever let you walk alone I know your enemy it once was me

I just figured out what this song is about! Its gotta be about how dave feels about Ulrich/Hetfield. I watched this interview thing between Dave and Lars and it practically mirrors whats said in the interview. Anyone who is interested look it up on youtube, its a SKOM outtake i think .

This song is about Dave's recent conversion back to Christianity.

this song is sung from gods point of view at least the chorus is.

this song is my favorite track from the UA album.

Here's my view about the song: The song is being sang by The Almighty talking to a man. Whether you're a good or bad person, God is here.

You cannot escape. You love Him, He will love you. You ignore Him, you'll suffer the consequence. God is waiting for you to return to His reproof. But the lyrics ...I loved you when you still hated me means that even you hate God, you still enjoy God's creations around you as written in

That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. Matthew 5:45

You see? God Wants everyone to be saved. He's waiting for us to repent as it written in

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 2Peter 3:9

this was elaborately discussed here: http://josepherdon.blogspot.com/2007/08/never-walk-alone.html

I can agree with the Dave and Lars interview, I just watched it and can see how you can get that. However, I can also agree with Dave's saying it's a love song. Possibly a couple that goes through a rough patch, by the chorus.
