Yes, Metallica originally wrote this in 1984 during the Kill Em All tour, when James Hetfields Marshall amp was stolen.
It was also the final song performed by Metallicas first Bass-Player "Cliff", who was killed afterwards in a tourbus accident.
And, on the Black tour in 92, James Hetfield was blasted by a flame jet during the solo at the end of this song.
It was then placed as Track 04 on Metallicas 1984 album "Ride The Lightning".
The song in general is a suicide letter, which follows the Ride The Lightning albums scheme on death.
This song is a favorite amoung millions of fans, performed as covers by other bands and singers.
And yes, for those reading my Username, this is my favorite song ever. =P
