[James Hetfield]
[Lars Ulrich]

No life till leather
We are gonna kick some ass tonight
We got the metal madness
When our fans start screaming
Its right well alright
When we start to rock
We never want to stop again

Hit the lights

You know our fans are insame
We are gonna blow this place away
With volume higher
Than anything today the only way
When we start to rock
We never want to stop again

Hit the lights

With all out screaming
We are gonna rip right through brain
We got the lethal power
It is causing you sweet pain on sweet pain
When we start to rock
We never want to stop again

2. The Four Horsemen

[James Hetfield]
[Lars Ulrich]
[D. Mustaine]

By the last breath of the fourth winds blow
Better raise your ears
The sound of hooves knock at your door
Lock up your wife and children now
Its time to wield the blade
For now you have got some company

The horsemen are drawing nearer
On the leather steeds they ride
They have come to take your life
On through the dead of noght
With the four horsemen ride
Or choose your fate and die

You have been dying since the day
You were born
You know it has all been planned
The quartet of deliverence rides
A sinner once a sinner twice
No need for confession now
Cause now you have got the fight of your life

The horsemen are drawing nearer
On the leather steeds they ride
They have come to take your life
On through the dead of noght
With the four horsemen ride
Or choose your fate and die

Time
Has taken its toll on you
The lines that crack you face
Famine
Your body it has torn through
Withered in every place
Pestilence
For what you have had to endure
And what you have put others through
Death
Deliverance for you for sure
There is nothing you can do

So gather round young warriors now
And saddle up your steeds
Killing scores with demon swords
Now is the death of doers of wrong
Swing the judegement hammer down
Safely inside armor blood guts and sweat

The horsemen are drawing nearer
On the leather steeds they ride
They have come to take your life
On through the dead of noght
With the four horsemen ride
Or choose your fate and die

			

3. Motorbreath

[James Hetfield]

Living and dying laughing and crying
Once you have seen it you will never
Be the same
Life in the fas lane is just how it seems
Hard and it is heavy dirty and mean

Motorbreath
It now I live my life
I can't take it any other way
Motorbreath
The sign of living fast
It is going to take
Your breath away

Don't stop for nothingits full speed
Or nothing
I am taking down you know whatever is
In my way
Getting your kicks as you are shooting
The lin
Sending the shiviers up and down your spine

Motorbreath
It now I live my life
I can't take it any other way
Motorbreath
The sign of living fast
It is going to take
Your breath away

Those people who tell you not to take chances
They are all missing on what life is about
You only live once so take hold of the chance
Don't end up like others the same song
And dance

Motorbreath
It now I live my life
I can't take it any other way
Motorbreath
The sign of living fast
It is going to take
Your breath away

			

4. Jump In The Fire

[James Hetfield]
[Lars Ulrich]
[D. Mustaine]

Down in the depths of my firey home
The summons bell will chime
Tempting you and all the earth
To join our sinful kind
There is a job to be done and I'm the one
You people make me do it
Now it is time for your fate and I won't
Hesitate
To pull you down into this pit

So come on
Jump in the fire
So come on
Jump in the fire

With hell in my eyes and with death in my
Veins
The end is closing in
Feeding on the minds of man
And from their souls within
My disciples all shout to search out
And they always shall obey
Follow me now my chold not the meek or
The mild
But do just as I say

So come on
Jump in the fire
So come on
Jump in the fire

Jump by your will or be taken by force
I'll get you either way
Trying to keep the hellfire lit
I am stalking your as prey
Living your life as me I am you see
There is part of me in everyone
So reach down grab my hand walk with me
Through the land
Come home where you belong

So come on
Jump in the fire
So come on
Jump in the fire

			

5. Whiplash

[James Hetfield]
[Lars Ulrich]

Late at night all systems go
You ahve come to see the show
We do our best you're the rest
You make it real you know
There is a feeling deep inside
That drives you fuchin'mad
A feeling of a hammerhead
You need it oh so bad

Adrenalin starts to flow
You're thrashing all around
Acting like a maniac
Whiplash

Bang your head against the stage
Like you never did before
Make it ring make it bleed
Make it really sore
In a frenzied madness
With your leathers and your spikes
Heads are bobbing around
It is hot as hell tonite

Adrenalin starts to flow
You're thrashing all around
Acting like a maniac
Whiplash

Here on stage the marshall noise
Is piercing through your ears
It kick your ass kick your face
Exploding feeling nears
Now is the time to let it rip
To let it fuckin'loose
We are gathered here to maim and kill
Cause this is what we choose

Adrenalin starts to flow
You're thrashing all around
Acting like a maniac
Whiplash

The show is through the metal is gone
It is the time to hit the road
Another time another gig
Again we will ezplode
Hotel rooms and motorways
Life out here is raw
But we will never stop
We will never quit
Cause we are METALLICA

Adrenalin starts to flow
You're thrashing all around
Acting like a maniac
Whiplash

			

6. Blitzkrieg

[Jones]
[Smith]
[Sirotto]

[NEAT MUSIC, 1981]
[Originally recorded by BLITZKRIEG-1981]

[Metallica, originally performed by Blitzkrieg (Recorded in 1981)]
[- words and music by Ian Jones, Brian Smith and James Sirotto]

Let us have peace, let us have life
Let us escape the cruel night
Let us have time, let the sun shine
Let us beware the deadly sign

The day is coming
Armageddon's near
Inferno coming
Can we survive the blitzkrieg
The blitzkrieg
The blitzkrieg

Save us from fate, save us from hate
Save ourselves before it's too late
Come to our need, hear our plea
Save ourselves before the earth bleeds

The day is dawning
The time is near
Aliens coming
Can we survive the blitzkrieg
The blitzkrieg

			

7. Phantom Lord

[James Hetfield]
[Lars Ulrich]
[D. Mustaine]

Sound is ripping through your ears
The deafening sound of metal nears
Your bodies waiting for his whips
The taste of leather on your lips

Hear the cry of war
Louder than before
With his sword in hand
To control the land
Crushing metal strikes
On this fightening night
Fall onto your knees
For the phantom lord

Victims falling under chains
You hear them crying dying pains
The fist of terror breaking through
Now there's nothing you can do

Hear the cry of war
Louder than before
With his sword in hand
To control the land
Crushing metal strikes
On this fightening night
Fall onto your knees
For the phantom lord

The leathered armies have prevailed
The phantom lord has never failed
Smoke is lifting from the ground
The rising volume metal sound

Hear the cry of war
Louder than before
With his sword in hand
To control the land
Crushing metal strikes
On this fightening night
Fall onto your knees
For the phantom lord

Fall to your knees
And bow to the phantom lord

			

8. No Remorse

[James Hetfield]
[Lars Ulrich]

No mercy for what we are doing
No thought to even what we have done
We don't need to feel the sorrow
No remorse for the helpless one

War without end
No remorse no repend
We don't care what it meant
Another day another death
Another sorrow another breath
No remorse no repend
We don't care what it meant
Another day another death
Another sorrow another breath

Blood feeds the war machine
As it eats its way across the land
We don't need to feel the sorrow
No remorse is the one command

War without end
No remorse no repend
We don't care what it meant
Another day another death
Another sorrow another breath
No remorse no repend
We don't care what it meant
Another day another death
Another sorrow another breath

Only the strong survive
No will to save the weaker race
We are ready to kill all comers
Like a loaded gun right at your face

War without end
No remorse no repend
We don't care what it meant
Another day another death
Another sorrow another breath
No remorse no repend
We don't care what it meant
Another day another death
Another sorrow another breath

Attack
Bullets are flying
People are dying
With madness surrounding all hell's
Breaking loose
Soldiers are hounding
Bodies are mounting
Cannons are shouting to take their abuse
With war machines going
Bllod starts to flowing
No mercy given to anyonr hear
The furious fighting
Swords are like lighting
It all becomes frightening you
Know death is near
No remorse

			

9. Seek And Destroy

[James Hetfield]
[Lars Ulrich]

We are scanning the scene
In the city tonite
We are looking for you
To start up a fight
There is an evil feeling
In our brains
But it is nothing new
You know it drives us insane

Running,
On our way
Hiding,
You will pay
Dying,
One thousand deaths
Running,
On our way
Hiding,
You will pay
Dying,
One thousand deaths
Serching,
Seek and destroy
Serching,
Seek and destroy
Serching,
Seek and destroy
Serching,
Seek and destroy

There is no escape
And that is for sure
This is the end
We won't take any more
Say goodbye
To the world you live in
You have always been taking
But now you're giving

Running,
On our way
Hiding,
You will pay
Dying,
One thousand deaths
Running,
On our way
Hiding,
You will pay
Dying,
One thousand deaths
Serching,
Seek and destroy
Serching,
Seek and destroy
Serching,
Seek and destroy
Serching,
Seek and destroy

Our brains are on fire
With the feeling to kill
And it will not go again
Until our dreams are fulfilled
There is only one thing
On our minds
Don't try running away
Cause you're the one we will find

Running,
On our way
Hiding,
You will pay
Dying,
One thousand deaths
Running,
On our way
Hiding,
You will pay
Dying,
One thousand deaths
Serching,
Seek and destroy
Serching,
Seek and destroy
Serching,
Seek and destroy
Serching,

11. Am I Evil?

[Tatler]
[Harris]

[ZOMBA MUSIC, 1982]
[Originally recorded by DIAMONHEAD-1980]

[Metallica, originally performed by DiamondHead (Recorded in 1982)]
[- words and music by Brian Tatler and Sean Lindon Harris]

My mother was a witch, she was burned alive
Thankless little bitch, for the tears I cried
Take her down now, don't want to see her face
All blistered and burnt, can't hide my disgrace

Twenty seven, everyone was nice
Gotta see 'em, make 'em pay the price
See their bodies out on the ice
Take my time

Am I evil?
Yes I am
Am I evil?
I am man
Yes I am

As I watched my mother die, I lost my head
Revenge now I sought, to break with my bread
Takin' no chances, you come with me
I'll split you to the bone, help set you free

Twenty seven, everyone was nice
Gotta see 'em, make 'em pay the price
See their bodies out on the ice
Take my time

Am I evil?
Yes I am
Am I evil?
I am man
Yes I am

On with the action now, I'll strip your pride
I'll spread your blood around, I'll see you ride
Your face is scarred with steel, wounds deep and neat
Like a double dozen before ya, smells so sweet

Am I evil?
Yes I am
Am I evil?
I am man

I'll make my residence, I'll watch your fire
You can come with me, sweet desire
My face is long forgot, my face not my own
Sweet and timely whore, take me home

Am I evil?
Yes I am
Am I evil?
I am man

My soul is longing for, await my heir
Sent to avenge my mother, sleep myself
My face is long forgot, my face not my own
Sweet and timely whore, take me home

Am I evil?
Yes I am
Am I evil?
I am man

Am I evil?
Yes I fucking am
Am I evil?
I am man, yeah!

			

1. Fight Fire Witn Fire

Do unto others as they've done to you
But what the hell is this world coming to?

Blow the universe into nothingness
Nuclear warfare shall lay us to rest

Fight fire with fire
Ending is near
Fight fire with fire
Bursting with fear
You all shall die!

Time is like a fuse short and burning fast
Armagedon's here like said in the past

Fight fire with fire
Ending is near
Figth fire with fire
Bursting with fear

Soon to fill our lungs the hot winds of death
The gods are laughing so take your last breath

Fight fire with fire
Ending is near
Fight fire with fire
Bursting with fear
Fight fire with fire

			

2. Ride The Lightning

Guilty as charged
But dammit it ain't right
There's someone else controlling me
Death in the air
Strapped in the electric chair
This can't be happening to me
Who made you God to say
I'll take your life from you!! 
Flash before my eyes
Now it's time to die
Burning in my brain
I can feel the flame

Wait for the sign
To flick the switch of death
It's the beginnign of the end
Sweat chilling cold
As I watch death unfold
Consciousness my only friend
My fingers grip with fear
What am I doing here?

Flash before my eyes
Now it's time to die
I can feel the flame

Someone help me
Oh please God help me
They're trying to take it all away
I don't want to die

Time moving slow
The minutes seem like hours
The final curtain call I see
How true is this?
Just get it over with
If this is true just let it be
Wakened by horrid scream
Freed from this frightening dream

Flash before my eyes
Now it's time to die
Burning in my brain
I can feel the flame

			

3. For Whom The Bell Tolls

Make his fight on the hill in the early day
Constant chill deep inside
Shouting gun on they run through the endless grey
On they fight for they are right, yes but who's to say?
For a hill men would kill why? they do not know
Suffered wounds test their pride
Men of five still alive through the raging glow
Gone insane from the pain that they surely know

For whom the bell tolls
Time marches on
For whom the bell tolls

Take a look to the ski just before you die
It's the last time you will

Blackened roar massive roar fills the crumbling sky
Shattered goals fills his soul with a ruthless cry
Stranger now are his eyes to this mystery
He hears the silence so loud
Crack of dawn all is gone except the will to be
Now they see what will be blinded eyes to see

For whom the bell tolls
Time marches on
For whomt he bell tolls

			

4. Fade To Black

Life it seems will fade away
Drifting farther everyday
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters no one else
I have lost the will to live
Simply nothing more to give
There is nothing more for me
Need the end to set me free

Things not what they used to be
Missing one inside of me
Deathly lost this can't be real
Cannot stand this hell I feel
Emptiness is filling me
To the point of agony
Growing darkness taking dawn
I was me but now he is gone

No one but me can save myself but it's too late
Now I can't think think why I should even try

Yesterday seems as though it never existed
Death greets me warm now I will just say goodbye

			

5. Trapped Under Ice

I don't know how to live through this hell
Woken up I'm still locked in this shell
Frozen soul frozen down to the core
Break the ice I can't take anymore

Freezing can't move at all
Screaming can't hear my call
I am dying to live
Cry out I'm trapped under ice

Crystallized as I lay here in rest
Eyes of glass stare directly at death
From deep sleep I have broken away
No one knows no one hears what I say

Freezing can't move at all
Screaming can't hear my call
I am dying to live
Cry out I'm trapped under ice

Scream from my soul
Fate mystified
Hell forever more

No release from my cryonic state
What is this? I've been stricken by fate
Wrapped up tight cannot move can't break free
Hand of doom has a tight grip on me

Freezing can't move at all
Screaming can't hear my call
I am dying to live
Cry out I'm trapped under ice

			

6. Escape

Feel no pain but my life ain't easy
I know I'm my best friend
No one cares but I'm so much stronger
I'll fight until the end
To escape from the true false world
Undamaged destiny
Can't get caught in the endless circle
Ring of stupidty

Out for my own out to be free
One with my mind they just can't see
No need to hear things that they say
Life is for my own to live my own way

Rape my mind and destroy my feelings
Don't tell me what to do
I don't care now cause I'm on my side
And I can see through you
Feed my brain with your so called standards
Who says that I ain't right
Break away from your common fashion
See through your blurry sight

Out for my own out to be free
One with my mind they just can't see
No need to hear things that they say
Life is for my own to live my own way

See them try to bring the hammer down
No damn chains can nhold me to the ground

Life is for my own to live my own way

			

7. Creeping Death

Slaves Hebrews born to serve to the pharoah
Heed to his every word live in fear
Faith of the unknown one the deliverer
Wait something must be done four hundred years

So let it be written so let it be done
I'm sent here by the chosen one
So let it be written so let it be done
To kill the first born pharaoh son
I'm creeping death

Now let my people go land of goshen
Go I will be with thee bush of fire
Blood running red and strong down the nile
Plague darkness three days long hail to fire

So let it be written so let it be done
I'm sent here by the chosen one
So let it be written so let it be done
to kill the first born pharaoh son
I'm creeping death

Die by my hand
I creep across the land
Killing first born man
Die by my hand
I creep across the land
Killing first born man

I rule the midnite air the destroyer
Born I shall soon be there deadly mass
I creep the steps and floor final darkness
Blood lambs blood painted door I shall pass

So let it be written so let it be done
I'm sent here by the chosen one
So let it be writen so let it be done
To kill the first born pharaoh son
I'm creeping death

			

8. The Call Of Ktulu

[Instrumental]

			

1. Battery

Lashing out the action, returning the reaction
Weak are ripped and torn away
Hypnotizing power, crushing all that cower
Battery is here to stay

[chorus:]
Smashing through the boundries
lunacy has found me
cannot stop the Battery
Pounding out aggression
turns into obsession
cannot kill the Battery
Cannot kill the family
Battery is found in me
Battery
[End Chorus]

Crushing all deceivers, mashing non-believers
never ending potency
Hungry violence seeker, feeding off the weaker
Breeding on insanity

[Chorus]

Circle of Destruction, Hammer comes crushing
Powerhouse of energy
Whipping up a fury, Dominating flurry
We create the Battery

[Chorus].

			

2. Master Of Puppets

End of passion play, crumbling away
I'm your source of self-destruction
Veins that pump with fear, sucking darkest clear
Leading on your death's construction

[Chorus:]
Taste me you will see
more is all you need
you're dedicated to
how I'm killing you

Come crawling faster
obey your Master
your life burns faster
obey your Master
Master

Master of Puppets I'm pulling your strings
twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name, `cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
Just call my name, `cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
[End Chorus]

Needlework the way, never you betray
life of death becoming clearer
Pain monopoly, ritual misery
chop your breakfast on a mirror

[Chorus]

Master, Master, Where's the dreams that I've been after?
Master, Master, You promised only lies
Laughter, Laughter, All I hear and see is laughter
Laughter, Laughter, laughing at my cries

Hell is worth all that, natural habitat
just a rhyme without a reason
Neverending maze, drift on numbered days
now your life is out of season

[Chorus]
[Fade out with evil laughter].

			

3. The Thing That Should Not Be

Messenger of Fear in sight
Dark deception kills the light

Hybred children watch the sea
Pray for Father, roaming free

fearless Wretch
insanity
He watches
lurking beneath the sea
great Old One
forbidden site
He searches
Hunter of the Shadows is rising
immortal
in madness You dwell

Crawling Chaos, underground
cult has summoned, twisted sound

Out from ruins once possessed
fallen city, living death

fearless Wretch
insanity
He watches
lurking beneath the sea
timeless sleep
has been upset
He awakens
Hunter of the Shadows is rising
immortal
in madness You dwell

Not dead which eternal lie
stranger eons Death may die

drain you of your sanity
face The Thing That Should Not Be

fearless Wretch
insanity
He watches
lurking beneath the sea
great Old One
forbidden site
He searches
Hunter of the Shadows is rising
immortal
in madness You dwell.

			

4. Welcome Home (Sanitarium)

Welcome to where time stands still
no one leaves and no one will
Moon is full, never seems to change
just labeled mentally deranged
Dream the same thing every night
I see our freedom in my sight
No locked doors, No windows barred
No things to make my brain seem scarred

Sleep my friend and you will see
that dream is my reality
They keep me locked up in this cage
can't they see it's why my brain says Rage

Sanitarium, leave me be
Sanitarium, just leave me alone

Build my fear of what's out there
and cannot breathe the open air
Whisper things into my brain
assuring me that I'm insane
They think our heads are in their hands
but violent use brings violent plans
Keep him tied, it makes him well
he's getting better, can't you tell?

No more can they keep us in
Listen, damn it, we will win
They see it right, they see it well
but they think this saves us from our Hell

Sanitarium, leave me be
Sanitarium, just leave me alone
Sanitarium, just leave me alone

Fear of living on
natives getting restless now
Mutiny in the air
got some death to do
Mirror stares back hard
Kill, it's such a friendly word
seems the only way
for reaching out again.

			

5. Disposable Heroes

Bodies fill the fields I see, hungry heroes end
No one to play soldier now, no one to pretend
running blind through killing fields, bred to kill them all
Victim of what said should be
a servant `til I fall

[Chorus:]
Soldier boy, made of clay
now an empty shell
twenty one, only son
but he served us well
Bred to kill, not to care
just do as we say
finished here, Greeting Death
he's yours to take away

Back to the front
you will do what I say, when I say
Back to the front
you will die when I say, you must die
Back to the front
you coward
you servant
you blindman
[End Chorus]

Barking of machinegun fire, does nothing to me now
sounding of the clock that ticks, get used to it somehow
More a man, more stripes you bare, glory seeker trends
bodies fill the fields I see
the slaughter never ends

[Chorus]

Why, Am I dying?
Kill, have no fear
Lie, live off lying
Hell, Hell is here

I was born for dying

Life planned out before my birth, nothing could I say
had no chance to see myself, moulded day by day
Looking back I realize, nothing have I done
left to die with only friend
Alone I clench my gun

[Chorus]

Back to the front.

			

6. Leper Messiah

Spineless from the start, sucked into the part
circus comes to town, you play the lead clown
Please, please
spreading his disease, living by his story
Knees, knees
falling to your knees, suffer for his glory
You will

[Chorus]
Time for lust, time for lie
time to kiss your life goodbye
Send me money, send me green
Heaven you will meet
Make a contribution
and you'll get a better seat
[End Chorus]

Bow to Leper Messiah

Marvel at his tricks, need your Sunday fix
blind devotion came, rotting your brain
Chain, chain
Join the endless chain
Fame, Fame
Infection is the game, stinking drunk with power
We see

[Chorus]

Bow to Leper Messiah

Witchery, weakening
Sees the sheep are gathering
set the trap, hypnotize
now you follow

[Chorus]

Lie.

			

7. Orion

[Instrumental]

			

8. Damage, Inc.

Dealing out the agony within
charging hard and no one's gonna give in
Living on your knees, conformity
or dying on your feet for honesty
Inbred, our bodies work as one
bloody, but never cry submission
Following our instinct not a trend
go against the grain until the end

[Chorus:]
Blood will follow blood
Dying time is here
Damage Incorporated
[End Chorus]

Slamming through, don't fuck with razorback
stepping out? You'll feel our hell on your back
Blood follows blood and we make sure
life ain't for you and we're the cure
Honesty is my only excuse
Try to rob us of it, but it's no use
Steamroller action crushing all
Victim is your name and you shall fall

[Chorus]

We chew and spit you out
we laugh, you scream and shout
All flee, with fear you run
You'll know just where we come from

Damage Incorporated

Damage jackals ripping right through you
sight and smell of this, it gets me goin'
Know just how to get just what we want
tear it from your soul in nightly hunt
Fuck it all and fucking no regrets
Never happy ending on these dark sets
All's fair for Damage Inc. you see
step a little closer if you please

			

1. Blackened

Blackened is the end
Winter it will send
Throwing all you see
Into obscurity

Death of mother earth
Never a rebirth
Evolution's end
Never will it mend

Never

Fire
To begin whipping dance of the dead
Blackened is the end
To begin whipping dance of the dead
Color our world blackened

Bustering of earth
Terminate its worth
Deadly nicotine
Kills what might have been

Callous frigid chill
Nothing left to kill
Never seen before
Breathing nevermore

Never

Fire
To begin whipping dance of the dead
Blackened is the end
To begin whipping dance of the dead
Color our world blackened

Blackened

Opposition...contradiction...premonition...compromise
Agitation...violation...mutilation...planet dies
Darkest color
Blistered earth
True death of life
Termination....expiration...cancellation...human race
Expectation...liberation...population...lay to waste
See our mother
Put to death
See our mother die

Smouldering decay
Take her breath away
Millions of our years
In minutes disappears

Darkening in vain
Decadence remains
All is said and done
Never is the sun

Never

Fire
To begin whipping dance of the dead
Blackened is the end
To begin whipping dance of the dead
Fire
Is the outcome of hypocrisy
Darkest potency
In the exit of humanity
Color our world blackened

Blackened

			

2. ...And Justice For All

Halls of justice painted green
Money talking
Power wolves beset your door
Hear them stalking
Soon you'll please their appetite
They devour
Hammer of justice crushes you
Overpower

The ultimate in vanity
Exploiting their supremacy
I can't believe the things you say
I can't believe
I can't believe the price you pay
Nothing can save you

Justice is lost
Justice is raped
Justice is gone
Pulling your strings
Justice is done
Seeking no truth
Winning is all
Find it so grim
So true
So real

Apathy their stepping stone
So unfeeling
Hidden deep animosity
So deceiving
Through your eyes their light burns
Hoping to find
Inquisition sinking you
With prying minds

The ultimate in vanity
Exploiting their supremacy
I can't believe the things you say
I can't believe
I can't believe the price you pay
Nothing can save you

Justice is lost
Justice is raped
Justice is gone
Pulling your strings
Justice is done
Seeking no truth
Winning is all
Find it so grim
So true
So real

Lady justice has been raped
Truth assassin
Rolls of red tape seal your lips
Now you're done in
Their money tips her scales again
Make your deal
Just what is truth?i cannot tell
Cannot feel

The ultimate in vanity
Exploiting their supremacy
I can't believe the things you say
I can't believe
I can't believe the price we pay
Nothing can save you

Justice is lost
Justice is raped
Justice is gone
Pulling your strings
Justice is done
Seeking no truth
Winning is all
Find it so grim
So true
So real

Seeking no truth
Winning is all
Find it so grim
So true
So real

			

3. Eye Of The Beholder

Do you see what i see?
Truth is an offence
You silence for your confidence

Do you hear what i hear?
Doors are slamming shut
Limit your imagination, keep you where they must

Do you feel what i feel?
Bittering distress
Who decides what you express

Do you take what i take?
Endurance is the word
Moving back instead of forward seems to me absurd

Doesn't matter what you see?
Or into it what you read
You can do it your own way
If it's done just how i say

Independence limited
Freedom of choice
Choice is mad for you my friend
Freedom of speech
Speech is words that they will bend
Freedom with their exception

Do you fear what i fear?
Living properly
Truths to you are lies to me

Do you choose what i choose?
More alternives
Energy derives from both the plus and negative

Do you need what i need?
Boundaries overthrown
Look inside to each his own

Do you trust what i trust?
Me, myself and i
Penetrate the smoke screen i see through the selfishlie

Doesn't matter what you see
Or into it what you read
You can do it your own way
If it's done just how i say

Independence limited
Freedom of choice
Choice is mad for you my friend
Freedom of speech
Speech is words that they will bend
Freedom with their exception

Do you know what i know?
Your money end your wealth
Your silence just to hear your self

Do you want what i want?
Desire not a thing
I hunger after independence lengthen freedom's ring

Doesn't matter what you see
Or into it what you read
You can do it your own way
If it's done just how i say

Independence limited
Freedom of choice
Choice is mad for you my friend
Freedom of speech
Speech is words that they will bend
Freedom with their exception

Doesn't matter what you see
Or into it what you read
You can do it your own way
If it's done just how i say

			

4. One

I can't remember anything
Can't tell if this is true or dream
Deep down inside i feel to scream
This terrible silence stops me

Now that the war is through with me
I'm waking up i can not see
That there is not much left of me
Nothing is real but pain now

Hold my breath as i wish for death
Oh please god,wake me

Back in the womb its much too real
In pumps life that i must feel
But can't look forward to reveal
Look to the time when i'll live

Fed through the tube that sticks in me
Just like a wartime novelty
Tied to machines that make me be
Cut this life off from me

Hold my breath as i wish for death
Oh please god,wake me
Now the world is gone i'm just one
Oh god,help me hold my breath as i wish for death
Oh please god help me

Darkness imprisoning me
All that i see
Absolute horror
I cannot live
I cannot die
Trapped in myself
Body my holding cell

Landmine has taken my sight
Taken my speech
Taken my hearing
Taken my arms
Taken my legs
Taken my soul
Left me with life in hell

			

5. The Shortest Straw

Suspicion is your name
Your honesty to blame
Put dignity to shame
Dishonor
Witchhunt modern day
Determining decay
The blattand disarray
Disfigure
The public eyes' disgrace
Defying common place
Unending paper chase
Unending

Deafening
Painstaking
Reckoning
This vertigo it doth bring

Shortest straw
Challenge liberty
Downed by law
Live in infamy
Rub you raw
Witchhunt riding through
Shortest straw
This shortest straw has been pulled for you

Pulled for you
Shortest straw
Pulled for you
Shortest straw
Pulled for you
Shortest straw
Shortest straw has been pulled for you

The accusations fly
Discrimination, why?
Your inner self to die
Intruding
Doubt sunk itself in you
It's teeth and talons through
Your living catch 22
Deluding

A mass hysteria
A megalomania
Reveal dementia
Reveal

Secretly
Silently
Certainly
In vertigo you will be

Shortest straw
Chalenge liberty
Downed by law
Live in infamy
Rub you raw
Witchhunt riding through
Shortest straw
This shortest straw has been pulled for you

Pulled for you
Shortest straw
Pulled for you
Shortest straw
Pulled for you
Shortest straw
Shortest straw has been pulled for you

Shortest straw
Pulled for you
Shortest straw
Pulled for you
Shortest straw
Pulled for you
Shortest straw
Shortest straw has been pulled for you

Behind you, hands are tied
Your being, ostracized
Your hell is multiplied
Upending
The fallaout has begun
Oppresive damage done
Your many turned to none
To nothing
You're reaching your nadir
Your will has disappeared
The lie is crystal clear
Defending

Channels red
One word said
Blaclisted
With vertigo make you dead

Shortest straw
Chalenge liberty
Downed by law
Live in infamy
Rub you raw
Witchhunt riding through
Shortest straw
This shortest straw has been pulled for you
Pulled for you

			

6. Harvester Of Sorrow

My life suffocates
Planting seeds of hate
I've loved, turned to hate
Trapped far beyond my fate

I give
You take
This life that i forsake
Been cheated of my youth
You turned this lie to truth

Anger
Misery
You'll suffer unto me

Harvester of sorrow
Language of the mad
Harvester of sorrow

Pure black looking clear
My work is done soon here
Try getting back to me
Get back which used to be

Drink up
Shoot in
Let the beatings begin
Distributor of pain
Your loss becomes my gain

Anger
Misery
You'll suffer unto me

Harvester of sorrow
Language of the mad
Harvester of sorrow

All have said their prayers
Invade their nightmares
See into my eyes
You'll find where murder lies

Infanticide

Harvester of sorrow
Language of the mad
Harvester of sorrow
Language of the mad
Harvester of sorrow

			

7. The Frayed Ends Of Sanity

Never hunger
Never prosper
I have fallen prey to failure
Struggle within
Triggered again
Now the candle burns at both ends

Twisting under schizophrenia
Falling deep into dementia

Old habits reappear
Fighting the fear of fear
Growing conspiracy
Everyone's after me
Frayed ends of sanity
Hear them calling
Hear them calling me

Birth of terror
Death of much more
I'm the slave of fear,my captor
Never warnings
Spreading its wings
As i wait for the horror she brings
Loss of interest,question,wonder
Waves of fear they pull me under

Old habits reappear
Fighting the fear of fear
Growing conspiracy
Everyone's after me
Frayed ends of sanity
Hear them calling
Hear them calling me

Into run
I am sinking
Hostage of this nameless feeling
Hell is set free
Flooded i'll be
Feel the undertow inside me

Height, hell, time, haste, terror, tension
Life, death, want, waste, mass depression

Old habbits reappear
Fighting the fear of fear
Growing conspiracy
Myself is after me
Frayed ends of sanity
Hear them calling
Frayed ends of sanity
Hear them calling
Hear them calling me

			

8. To Live Is To Die

When a man lies he murders
Some part of the world
These are the pale deaths which
Men miscall their lives
All this i cannot bear
To witness any longer
Cannot the kingdom of salvation
Take me home

			

9. Dyers Eve

Dear mother
Dear father
What is this hell you have put me through
Believer
Deceiver
Day in day out live my life through you
Pushed onto me what's wrong or right
Hidden from this thing that they call life

Dear mother
Dear father
Every thought i'd think you'd disapprove
Curator
Dictator
Always cencoring my every move
Children are seen bur are not heard
Tear out everything inspired

Innocence
Torn from me without your shelter
Barred reality
I'm living blindly

Dear mother
Dear father
Time has frozen still what's left to be
Hear nothing
Say nothing
Cannot face the fact i think for me
No guarantee,it's life as is
But damn you for not giving me my chance

Dear mother
Dear father
You've clipped my wings before i learned to fly
Unspoiled
Unspoken
I've outgrown that fucking lullaby
Same thing i've always heard from you
Do as i say not as i do

Innocence
Torn from me without your shelter
Barred reality
I'm living blindly
I'm in hell without you
Cannot cope without you two
Shocked at the world that i see
Innocent victim please rescue me

Dear mother
Dear father
Hidden in your world you've made for me
I'm seething
I'm bleeding
Ripping wounds in me that never heal
Undying spite i feel for you
Living out this hell you always knew

3. Holier Than Thou

[HETFIELD/ULRICH]

NO MORE!
THE CRAP ROLLS OUT YOUR MOUTH AGAIN
HAVEN'T CHANGED,YOUR BRAIN IS STILL GELATIN
LITTLE WLISPERS CIRCLE AROUND YOUR HEAD
WHY DON'T YOU WORRY ABOUT YOURSELF INSTEAD
WHO ARE YOU? WHERE YA BEEN? WHERE YA FROM?
GOSSIP IS BURNING ON THE TIP OF YOUR TONGUE
YOU LIE SO MUCH YOU BELIEVE YOURSELF
JUDGE NOT LEST YE BE JUDGED YOURSELF
HOLIER THAN THOU
YOU ARE
HOLIER THAN THOU
YOU ARE
YOU KNOW NOT
BEFORE YOU JUDGE ME TAKE A LOOK AT YOU
CAN'T YOU FIND SOMETHING BETTER TO DO
POINT THE FINGER,SLOW TO UNDERSTAND
ARROGANCE AND IGNORANCE GO HAND IN HAND
IT'S NOT WHO YOU ARE IT'S WHO YOU KNOW
OTHERS LIVES ARE THE BASIS OF YOUR OWN
BURN YOUR BRIDGES BUILD THEM BACK WITH WEALTH
JUDGE NOT LEST YE BE JUDGED YOURSELF
HOLIER THAN THOU
YOU ARE
HOLIER THAN THOU
YOU ARE
YOU KNOW NOT

			

4. The Unforgiven

[HETFIELD/ULRICH/HAMMET]

NEW BLOOD JOINS THIS EARTH
AND QUICKLY HE'S SUBDUED
THROUGH CONSTANT PAINED DISGRACE
THE YOUNG BOY LEARNS THEIR RULES
WITH TIME THE CHILD DRAWS IN
THIS WHIPPING BOY DONE WRONG
DEPRIVED OF ALL HIS THOUGHTS
THE YOUNG MAN STRUGGLES ON AND ON HE'S KNOWN
A VOW UNTO HIS OWN
THAT NEVER FROM THIS DAY
HIS WILL THEY'LL TAKE AWAY
WHAT I'VE FELT
WHAT I'VE KNOWN
NEVER SHINED THROUGH IN WHAT I'VE SHOWN
NEVER BE
NEVER SEE
WON'T SEE WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN
WHAT I'VE FELT
WHAT I'VE KNOWN
NEVER SHINED THROUGH IN WHAT I'VE SHOWN
NEVER FREE
NEVER ME
SO I DUB THE UNFORGIVEN
THEY DEDICATE THEIR LIVES
TO RUNNING ALL OF HIS
HE TRIES TO PLEASE THEM ALL
THIS BITTER MAN HE IS
THROUGH OUT HIS LIFE THE SAME
HE'S BATTLED CONSTANTLY
THIS FIGHT HE CANNOT WIN
I TIRED MAN THEY SEE NO LONGER CARES
THE OLD MAN THEN PREPARES
TO DIE REGRETFULLY
THAT OLD MAN HERE IS ME
WHAT I'VE FELT
WHAT I'VE KNOWN
NEVER SHINED THROUGH IN WHAT I'VE SHOWN
NEVER BE
NEVER SEE
WON'T SEE WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN
WHAT I'VE FELT
WHAT I'VE KNOWN
NEVER SHINED THROUGH IN WHAT I'VE SHOWN
NEVER FREE
NEVER ME
SO I DUB THE UNFORGIVEN
YOU LABELED ME
I'LL LABEL YOU
SO I DUB THE UNFORGIVEN

			

5. Wherever I May Roam

[HETFIELD/ULRICH]

...AND THE ROAD BECOMES MY BRIDGE
I HAVE STRIPPED OF ALL BUT PRIDE
SO IN HER I DO CONFIDE
AND SHE KEEPS ME SATISFIED
GIVES ME ALL I NEED
...AND WITH DUST IN THROAT I GRAVE
ONLY KNOWLEDGE WILL I SAVE
TO A GAME YOU STAY I SLAVE
ROVER WANDERER
NOMAD VAGABOND
CALL ME WHAT YOU WILL
BUT I'LL TAKE MY TIME ANYWHERE
FREE TO SPEAK MY MIND ANYWHERE
AND I'LL REDEFINE ANYWHERE
ANYWHERE I ROAM
WHERE I LAY MY HEAD IS HOME
...AND THE EARTH BECOMES MY THRONE
I ADAPT TO BE UNKNOWN
UNDER WANDERING STARS I'VE GROWN
BY MYSELF BUT NOT ALONE
I ASK NO ONE
AND MY TIES ARE SEVERED CLEAN
THE LESS I HAVE THE MORE I GAIN
OFF THE BEATEN PATH I REIGN
ROVER WANDERER
NOMAD VAGABOND
CALL ME WHAT YOU WILL
BUT I'LL TAKE MY TIME ANYWHERE
I'M FREE TO SPEAK MY MIND ANYWHERE
AND I'LL NEVER MIND ANYWHERE
ANYWHERE I ROAM
WHERE I LAY MY HEAD IS HOME
BUT I'LL TAKE MY TIME ANYWHERE
FREE TO SPEAK MY MIND
AND I'LL TAKE MY FIND ANYWHERE
ANYWHERE I ROAM
WHERE I LAY MY HEAD IS HOME
CARVED UPON MY STONE
MY BODY LIE,BUT STILL I ROAM
WHEREVER I MAY ROAM

			

6. Don't Tread On Me

[HETFIELD/ULRICH]

LIBERTY OF DEATH,WHAT WE SO PROUDLY HAIL
ONCE YOU PROVOKE HER,RATTLING OF HER TAIL
NEVER BEGINS IT,NEVER,BUT ONCE ENGAGED...
NEVER SURRUNDERS,SHOWING THE FANGS OF RAGE
DON'T TREAD ON ME
SO BE IT
THREATEN NO MORE
TO SECURE THE PEACE IS TO PREPARE FOR WAR
SO BE IT
SETTLE THE SCORE
TOUCH ME AGAIN FOR THE WORDS THAT YOU'LL HEAR EVERMORE
DON'T TREAD ON ME
LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT,SHE WITH A DEADLY BITE
QUICK IS THE BLUE TONGUE,FORKED AS THE LIGHTING STRIKE
SHINING WITH BRIGHTNESS,ALWAYS ON SURVEILLANCE
THE EYES,THEY NEVER CLOSE,EMBLEM OF VILLIGANCE
DON'T TREAD ON ME
SO BE IT
THREATEN NO MORE
TO SECURE THE PEACE IS TO PREPARE FOR WAR
SO BE IT
SETTLE THE SCORE
TOUCH ME AGAIN FOR THE WORDS THAT YOU'LL HEAR EVERMORE
DON'T TREAD ON ME
SO BE IT
THREATEN NO MORE
TO SECURE THE PEACE IS TO PREPARE FOR WAR
LIBERTY OF DEATH,WHAT WE SO PROUDLY HAIL
ONCE YOU PROVOKE HER,RATTLING OF HER TAIL

			

7. Through The Never

[HETFIELD/ULRICH/HAMMET]

ALL THAT IS,WAS AND WILL BE
UNIVERSE MUCH TOO BIG TO SEE
TIME AND SPACE NEVER ENDING
DISTURBING THOUGHTS,QUESTIONS PENDING
LIMITATIONS OF HUMAN UNDERSTANDING
TOO QUICK TO CRITICIZE
OBLIGATIONS TO SURVIVE
WE HUNGER TO BE ALIVE
ALL THAT IS,EVER
EVER WAS
WILL BE EVER
TWISTING
TURNING
THROUGH THE NEVER
IN THE DARK,SEE PAST OUR EYES
PURSUIT OF TRUTH NO MATTER WHERE IT LIES
GASING UP TO THE BREEZE OF THE HEAVENS
ON A QUEST,MEANING,REASON
CAME TO BE,HOW IT BEGUN
ALL ALONE IN THE FAMILY OF THE SUN
CURIOSITY TEASING EVERYONE
ON OUR HOME,THIRD STONE FROM THE SUN
ALL THAT IS,EVER
EVER WAS
WILL BE EVER
TWISTING
TURNING
THROUGH THE NEVER
ON THROUGH THE NEVER
WE MUST GO
ON THROUGH THE NEVER
OUT TO THE
EDGE OF FOREVER
WE MUST GO
ON THROUGH THE NEVER
THEN NEVER COMES
ALL THAT IS,EVER
EVER WAS
WILL BE EVER
WHO WE ARE
ASK FOREVER
TWISTING
TURNING
THROUGH THE NEVER
NEVER

			

8. Nothing Else Matters

[HETFIELD/ULRICH/HAMMET]

SO CLOSE NO MATTER HOW FAR
COULDN'T BE MUCH MORE FROM THE HEART
FOREVER TRUSTING WHO WE ARE
AND NOTHING ELSE MATTERS
NEVER OPENED MYSELF THIS WAY
LIFE IS OURS,WE LIVE IT OUR WAY
ALL THESE WORDS I DON'T JUST SAY
AND NOTHING ELSE MATTERS
TRUST I SEEK AND I FIND IN YOU
EVERY DAY FOR US SOMETHING NEW
OPEN MIND FOR A DIFFERENT VIEW
AND NOTHING ELSE MATTERS
NEVER CARED FOR WHAT THEY DO
NEVER CARED FOR WHAT THEY KNOW
BUT I KNOW
SO CLOSE NO MATTER HOW FAR
COULDN'T BE MUCH MORE FROM THE HEART
FOREVER TRUSTING WHO WE ARE
AND NOTHING ELSE MATTERS
NEVER CARED FOR WHAT THEY DO

BUT I KNOW
NEVER OPENED MYSELF THIS WAY
LIFE IS OURS,WE LIVE IT OUR WAY
ALL THESE WORDS I DON'T JUST SAY
AND NOTHING ELSE MATTERS
TRUST I SEEK AND I FIND IN YOU

OPEN MIND FOR A DIFFERENT VIEW
AND NOTHING ELSE MATTERS
NEVER CARED FOR WHAT THEY SAY
NEVER CARED FOR CAME THEY PLAY
NEVER CARED FOR WHAT THEY DO
NEVER CARED FOR WHAT THEY KNOW
BUT I KNOW
SO CLOSE NO MATTER HOW FAR
COULDN'T BE MUCH MORE FROM THE HEART
FOREVER TRUSTING WHO WE ARE
AND NOTHING ELSE MATTERS

			

9. Of Wolf And Man

[HETFIELD/ULRICH/HAMMET]

OFF THROUGH THE NEW DAY'S MIST I RUN
OUT FROM NEW DAY'S MIST I HAVE COME

HARVEST THE LAND
TAKEN FALLEN LAMB
OFF THROUGH THE NEW DAY'S MIST I RUN

OF WOLF AND MAN

			

10. The God That Failed

[HETFIELD/ULRICH]

PRIDE YOU TOOK
PRIDE YOU FEEL
PRIDE THAT YOU FELT WHEN YOU'D KNEEL
NOT THE WORD
NOT THE LOVE
NOT WHAT YOU THOUGHT FROM ABOVE
IT FEEDS
IT GROWS
IT CLOUDS ALL THAT YOU KNOW
DECEIT
DECEIVE
DECEIDE JUST WHAT YOU BELIEVE
I SEE FAITH IN YOUR EYES
NEVER YOU HEAR THE DISCOURAGING LIES
I HEAR FAITH IN YOUR CRIES
BROKEN IS THE PROMISE,BETRAYAL
THE HEALING HAND HEID BACK BY THE DEEPENED NAIL
FOLLOW THE GOD THAT FAILED
FIND YOUR PEACE
FIND YOUR SAY
FIND THE SMOOTH ROAD ON YOUR WAY
TRUST YOU GAVE
A CHILD TO SAVE
LEFT YOU COLD AND HIM IN GRAVE
IT FEEDS
IT GROWS
IT CLOUDS ALL THAT YOU KNOW
DECEIT
DECEIVE
DECEIDE JUST WHAT YOU BELIEVE
I SEE FAITH IN YOUR EYES
NEVER YOU HEAR THE DISCOURAGING LIES
I HEAR FAITH IN YOUR CRIES
BROKEN IS THE PROMISE,BETRAYAL
THE HEALING HAND HEID BACK BY THE DEEPENED NAIL
FOLLOW THE GOD THAT FAILED
I SEE FAITH IN YOUR EYES
BROKEN IS THE PROMISE,BETRAYAL
THE HEALING HAND HEID BACK BY THE DEEPENED NAIL
FOLLOW THE GOD THAT FAILED
PRIDE YOU TOOK
PRIDE YOU FEEL
PRIDE THAT YOU FELT WHEN YOU'D KNEEL
TRUST YOU GAVE
A CHILD TO SAVE
LEFT YOU COLD AND HIM IN GRAVE
I SEE FAITH IN YOUR EYES
NEVER YOU HEAR THE DISCOURAGING LIES
I HEAR FAITH IN YOUR CRIES
BROKEN IS THE PROMISE,BETRAYAL
THE HEALING HAND HEID BACK BY THE DEEPENED NAIL
FOLLOW THE GOD THAT FAILED

			

11. My Friend Of Misery

[HETFIELD/ULRICH/NEWSTED]

YOU JUST STOOD THERE SCREAMING
FEARING NO ONE WAST LISTENING TO YOU
THEY SAY THE EMPTY CAN RATTLES THE MOST
THE SOUND OF YOUR OWN VOICE MUST SOOTHE YOU
HEARING ONLY WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR
AND KNOWING ONLY WHAT YOU'RE HEARD
YOU YOU'RE SMOTHERED IN TRAGEDY
YOU'RE OUT TO SAVE THE WORLD
MISERY
YOU INSIST THAT THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD
SHOULD BE ON YOUR SHOULDERS
MISERY
THERE'S MUCH MORE TO LIFE THAN WHAT YOU SEE
MY FRIEND OF MISERY
YOU JUST STOOD THERE SCREAMING
NO ONE CARING ABOUT THESE WORDS YOU TELL
MY FRIEND BEFORE YOUR VOICE IS GONE
ONE MAN'S FUN IS ANOTHER'S HELL
THESETIMES ARE SENT TO TRY MEN'S SOULS
BUT SOMETHING'S WRONG WITH ALL YOU SEE
YOU YOU'LL TAKE IT ON ALL YOURSELF
REMEMBER,MISERY LOVES COMPANY
MISERY
YOU INSIST THAT THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD
SHOULD BE ON YOUR SHOULDERS
MISERY
THERE'S MUCH MORE TO LIFE THAN WHAT YOU SEE
MY FRIEND OF MISERY
YOU JUST STOOD THERE SCREAMING
MY FRIEND OF MISERY

			

12. The Struggle Within

[HETFIELD/ULRICH]

REACHING OUT FOR SOMETHING YOU'VE GOT TO FEEL
WHILE CLUTCHING TO WHAT YOU HAD THOUGHT WAS REAL
KICKING AT A DEAD HORSE PLEASES YOU
NO WAY OF SHOWING YOUR GRATTITUDE
SO MANY THINGS YOU DON'T WANT TO DO
WHAT IS IT? WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO LOSE
WHAT THE HELL
WHAT IS IT YOU THINK YOU'RE GONNA FIND?
HYPOCRITE
BOREDOM SETS INTO THE BORING MIND
STRUGGLE WITHIN IT SUITS YOU FINE
STRUGGLE WITHIN YOUR RUIN
STRUGGLE WITHIN YOU STEAL YOUR OWN COFFIN
STRUGGLE WITHIN THE STRUGGLING WITHIN
HOME IS NOT A HOME IT BECOMES A HELL
TURNING IT INTO YOUR PRISON CELL
ADVANTAGES ARE TAKEN,NOT HANDED OUT
WHILE YOU STRUGGLE INSIDE YOUR HELL
REACHING OUT
GRABBING FOR SOMETHING YOU'VE GOT TO FEEL
CLOSING IN
THE PRESSURE UPON YOU IS SO UNREAL
STRUGGLE WITHIN IT SUITS YOU FINE
STRUGGLE WITHIN YOUR RUIN
STRUGGLE WITHIN YOU STEAL YOUR OWN COFFIN
STRUGGLE WITHIN THE STRUGGLING WITHIN
REACHING OUT FOR SOMETHING YOU'VE GOT TO FEEL
WHILE CLUTCHING TO WHAT YOU HAD THOUGHT WAS REAL
WHAT THE HELL
WHAT IS IT YOU THINK YOU'RE GONNA FIND?
HYPOCRITE
BOREDOM SETS INTO THE BORING MIND
STRUGGLE WITHIN IT SUITS YOU FINE
STRUGGLE WITHIN YOUR RUIN
STRUGGLE WITHIN YOU STEAL YOUR OWN COFFIN
STRUGGLE WITHIN THE STRUGGLING WITHIN

			

1. Ain't My Bitch

Out of my way
Out of my day
Out of your mind and into mine
It's no more
It's not born
Into your step but out of time

It's strong
What's wrong
I've already heard this song before
You're right but now it's time to kiss your ass good-bye

Dragging me down
While you were round
So useless

It ain't my fault
It ain't my call
It ain't my bitch
Ain't my bitch

Down on the sun
Down on your fun
Down and out where the hell you've been

Damn it all down
Damn it unbound
Damn it all down ta hell again

Stand tall
They fall
Never even meant it all before
You're right but now it's time to kiss your ass good-bye

Dragging me down
While you were round
So useless

It ain't my fault
It ain't my call
It ain't my bitch

Out of my way

Out of my way
Out of my day
Out of your mind and into mine
It's no more
It's not born
Into your step but out of time

It's strong
What's wrong
I've already heard this song before
You're right but now it's time to kiss your ass good-bye

Dragging me down
While you were round
So useless

It ain't my fault
It ain't my call
It ain't my bitch

No way but down
While you were round
No foolin'

It ain't my smile
It ain't my style
It ain't my bitch

Ain't mine
Your kind
Your stepin' out of time

Dragging me down
While you were round
No foolin'

It ain't my fault
It ain't my call
It ain't my bitch
Ain't my

Put the screws into ya, my way
Hey c'mon, c'mon, come and make my day

Friction, fusion, retribution

I can't hear ya are you talking to me

I can't hear ya are you talking to me
I can't hear ya are you talking to me
I can't hear ya trying to be my lord
I can't hear ya talking 2 by 4

			

3. House Jack Built

Open doors so I walk inside
Close my eyes find my place to hide
And I shake as I take it in
Let the show begin

Open my eyes
Just to have them close again
Well on my way
On my way to where I graze
It swallows me
As it takes me in his home
I twist away
As I kill this world

Open doors so I walk inside
Close my eyes find my place to hide
And I shake as I take it in
Let the show begin

Open my eyes
Just to have them close once again
Don't want control
As It takes me down and down again
Is that the moon
Or just a light that lights this deadend street?
Is that you there
Or just another demon that I meet?

The higher you walk
The farther you fall
The longer the walk
The farther you crawl
My body my temple
This temple it tells
"Step into the house that Jack built"

The higher you walk
The farther you fall
The longer the walk
The farther you crawl
My body my temple
This temple it tells
"Yes this is the house that Jack built"

Open doors as I walk inside
Swallow me so the pain subsides
And I shake as I take this in
Let the show begin

The higher you walk
The farther you fall
The longer the walk
The farther you crawl
My body my temple
This temple it tells
"Yes this is the house that Jack built"

The higher you walk
The farther you fall
The longer the walk
The farther you crawl
My body my temple
This temple it tells
"Yes I am I am I am"

Open my eyes
It swallows me
Is that you there
I twist away
Away
Away
Away

			

4. Until It Sleeps

Where do I take this pain of mine.
I run but it stays right by my side.
So tear me open and pour me out
There's things inside that scream and shout,
And the pain still hates me
So hold me until it sleeps.

Just like a curse, just like a stray.
You feed it once and now it stays,
Now it stays.
So tear me open but beware
There's things inside without a care,
And the dirt still stains me
So wash me until I'm clean.

It grips you so hold me
It stains you so hold me
It hates you so hold me
It holds you so hold me
Until it sleeps.

So tell me why you've chosen me
Don't want your grip
Don't want your greed
Don't want it
Now tear me open make you gone
No more can you hurt anyone,
And the fear still shakes me
So hold me, until it sleeps

It grips you so hold me
It stains you so hold me
It hates you so hold me
It holds you, holds you, holds you until it sleeps [x4]

Don't want it want it want it want it want it no
So tear me open but beware
There's things inside without a care,
And the dirt still stains me,
So wash me till I'm clean.

Now tear me open make you gone
No longer will you hurt anyone,
And the hate still shapes me,
So hold me until it sleeps [x5]

			

5. King Nothing

Wish I may
Wish I might
Have this I wish tonight
Are you satisfied?
Dig for gold
Dig for fame
You dig to make your name
Are you pacified?

All the wants you waste
All the things you've chased
Then it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger, but there's no one around
Just want one thing
Just to play the King
But the castle's crumbled and you're left with just a
name
Where's your crown, King Nothing?
Where's your crown?

Hot and cold
Bought and sold
A heart as hard as gold
Yeah! Are you satisfied?
Wish I might, Wish I may
You wish your life away
Are you pacified?

All the wants you waste
All the things you've chased
Then it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger, but there's no one around
Just want one thing
Just to play the King

name
Where's your crown, King Nothing?
Where's your crown?

Huh!

Careful what you wish
Careful what you say
Careful what you wish you may regret it
Careful what you wish you just might get it

Then it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger, but there's no one around
Just want one thing
Just to play the King
But the castle's crumbled and you're left with just a
name
Where's your crown, King Nothing?
Where's your crown?

Oh, You're just nothing
Where's your crown King Nothing?
Oh, you're just nothing
Absolutely nothing
Off to never, never land

			

6. Hero Of The Day

The window burns to light the way back home
A light that warms no matter where they go
They're off to find the hero of the day
But what if they should fall by someone's wicked way

Still the window burns
Time so slowly turns
And someone there is sighing
Keepers of the flames
Do you feel your name?
Did you hear your babies crying?
Mama they try and break me
Still they try and break me

Excuse me while I tell them how to feel
These things we turn to me that still seem real
Now deservingly this easy chair
But the rocking starts the wheels of this play

Don't want your hate
But the fist I make
For you still no fear
No not on me
So please excuse me while I tell them how I feel

But now the dreams end
And now the dreams end
They everlast the night
So build a wall
Behind it crawl
And hide until it's light
So can you hear your babies crying now?

Still the window burns
Time so slowly turns
And someone there is sighing
Keepers of the flames
Did you hear your name?
Did you hear your babies crying?

But now the dreams end
And now the dreams end
They everlast the night
So build a wall
Behind it crawl
And hide until it's light
So can't you hear your babies crying now?

Oh they try and break me
Oh they try and break me
Oh they try and break me
Oh they try
Oh they try
Oh they try and break me
Oh they try and break me
Oh they try and break me
Oh they try
Oh they try

A smile to you

11. Mama Said

Mama, she has taught me well
Told me when I was young
"Son, your life's an open book
Don't close it 'fore its done"
"The brightest flame burns quickest"
That's what I heard her say
A son's heart sowed to mother
But I must find my way

Let my heart go
Let your son grow
Mama, let my heart go
Let this heart be still
Yeah, still

Rebel, mind your last name
Wild blood in my veins
They bring strings around my neck
The mark that still remains
Left home at an early age
Of what I heard was wrong
I never asked forgiveness
But what is said is done

Let my heart go
Let your son grow
Mama, let my heart go
Let this heart be still

Never I ask of you
But never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness that I'll take to my grave
Never I ask of you
But never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness that I'll take to my grave
So let this heart be still

Mama, now I'm coming home
I'm not all you wished of me
A mother's love for her son
Spoken, help me be
I took your love for granted
Not a thing you said to me
I needed your arms to welcome me
But, a cold stone's all I see

Let my heart go
Let your son grow
Mama, let my heart go
Let this heart be still

Let my heart go
Mama, let my heart go
You never let my heart go
So let this heart be still

Never I ask of you
But never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness that I'll take to my grave
Never I ask of you
But never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness that I'll take to my grave
Let this heart be still

			

12. Thorn Within

Forgive me father
For I have sinned
Find me guilty of the life I feel within

When I'm branded
This mark of shame
So I look down disgraced for saying I know that you must
feel

I am, I am the secret
I am, I am the sin
I am, I am the guilty
And I, I am the thorn within

Forgive me father
For I have sinned
Find me guilty with true guilt that's from within

So point your fingers
Point right at me
For I am shadows and will follow you whatever see my way

I am, I am the secret
I am, I am the sin
I am, I am the guilty
And I, I am the thorn within

I do your time
I take your fall
I'm branded guilty for a soul

So point your fingers
Point right at me
For I am shadows and will follow you whatever see my way

I am, I am your secrets
I am, I am your sin
I am, I am your guilty
And I, I am the thorn within
I am the thorn within

			

13. Ronnie

Stories taught
Quiet town
Small time for big time crowd
Never talks
Never plays
Different path
Lost his way

The streets are red
Red I'm afraid
There's no confetti
No parade
Nothing happens in this boring place
But oh my god how it all dismays
And they all pray
Blood stain wash away

He said
"Lost my way
This bloody day
Lost my way"

I heard it
He said
"Lost my way
This bloody day
Lost my way"
Oh please wash away
But blood stains the sun red today

I always said
Something wrong
Little strange
All day long
Never laugh
Never smile
Talked alone for miles and miles and miles…

Yellow comes
Sun I say
Keep your smile and laugh all day
He falls again in this foreign place
For little boys how they do chase
And they all pray
Blood stain wash away

He said
"Lost my way
This bloody day
Lost my way"

I heard it
He said
"Lost my way
This bloody day
Lost my way"
Oh please wash away
But blood stains the sun red today

[Spoken]
Yeah, well all the green things died
When Ronnie moved to this place
He said
"Don't you dare ask
Why I'm cursed to wear this face"
I know why the children called him Ronnie frown
When he pulled that gun from his pocket
They all fall down down down…

He said
"Lost my way
This bloody day
Lost my way"

I heard it
He screamed
"Lost my way
This bloody day
Lost my way"
Oh please wash away
But blood stains the sun red today

All things wash away
They all fall down
But blood stains the sun today

All things wash away
They all fall down
But blood stains the sun today

			

14. The Outlaw Torn

You know I wait my whole lifetime for you

I ride the dirt I ride the tide for you
I search the outside search inside for you
To take back what you left me
I know I'll always burn to be
No one seeks so I may find
And now I wait my whole lifetime
My whole lifetime

So on I wait my whole lifetime for you
So on I wait my whole lifetime for you

The more I search the more my need for you
The more I blast the more I bleed for you
You make me smash the clock and feel
I'd rather die behind the wheel
Time was never on my side
So on I wait my whole lifetime
My whole lifetime

And I'm torn
And if I close my mind in fear
Please pry it open
And if my face becomes sincere
Beware
And when I start to come undone
Stitch me together
And when you see me stretched remind me of what left this
outlaw torn

And if I close my mind in fear
Please pry it open
And if my face becomes sincere
Beware
And when I start to come undone
Stitch me together
And when you see me stretched remind me of what left this
outlaw torn

2. The Memory Remains

[Hetfield, Ulrich]

Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
But the memory remains

Heavy rings on fingers wave
Another star denies the grave
See the nowhere crowd, cry the nowhere tears of honor

Like twisted vines that grow
That hide and swallow mansions whole
And dim the light of an already faded prima donna

Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane...
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane...
But the memory remains

Heavy rings hold cigarettes
Up to lips that time forgets
While the Hollywood sun sets behind your back

And can't the band play on?
Just listen, they play my song
Ash to ash
Dust to dust
Fade to black

Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane...
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane...
Dance little tin goddess

Fade away
Little tin goddess

Ash to ash
Dust to dust
Fade to black

4. The Unforgiven II

Lay beside me, tell me what they've done
Speak the words I wanna hear, to make my demons run
The door is locked now, but it's open if you're true
If you can understand the me, than I can understand the you

Lay beside me, under wicked sky
The black of day, dark of night, we share this paralyze
The door cracks open, but there's no sun shining through
Black heart scarring darker still, but there's no sun shining through
No, there's no sun shining through
No, there's no sun shining...

What I've felt, what I've known
Turn the pages, turn the stone
Behind the door, should I open it for you....

What I've felt, what I've known
Sick and tired, I stand alone
Could you be there, 'cause I'm the one who waits for you
Or are you unforgiven too?

Lay beside me, this won't hurt I swear
She loves me not, she loves me still, but she'll never love again
She lay beside me, But she'll be there when I'm gone
Black heart scarring darker still, yes she'll be there when I'm gone
Yes, she'll be there when I'm gone
Dead sure she'll be there...

What I've felt, what I've known
Turn the pages, turn the stone
Behind the door, should I open it for you....

What I've felt, what I've known
Sick and tired, I stand alone
Could you be there, 'cause I'm the one who waits for you
Or are you unforgiven too?

Lay beside me, tell me what I've done
The door is closed, so are you're eyes
But now I see the sun, now I see the sun
Yes now I see it

What I've felt, what I've known
Turn the pages, turn the stone
Behind the door, should I open it for you....

What I've felt, what I've known
Sick and tired, I stand alone
Could you be there, 'cause I'm the one who waits,
The one who waits for you....

Oh what I've felt, what I've known
Turn the pages, turn the stone
Behind the door, should I open it for you.... (So I dub thee
unforgiven....)

Oh, what I've felt....
Oh, what I've known....

I take this key (never free...)
And I bury it (never me...) in you
Because you're unforgiven too....

Never free....
Never me....
'Cause you're unforgiven too....
Oh

9. Where The Wild Things Are

So wake up sleepy one...
It's time to save your world...

Steal dreams and give to you
Shoplift a thought or two
All children touch the sun
Burn fingers one by one, by one...

Will this earth be good to you
Keep you clean or stain through....

So wake up sleepy one...

You're where the wild things are...

Believing all under sun and moon
But does heaven know you're here?
And did they give you smiles or tears?

10. Prince Charming

It's a black cloud over head
That's me
And the poison ivy chokes the tree
Again it's me
I'm the filthy one on Bourbon Street
You walk on by
I'm the little boy that pushes hard
And makes him cry

There's a dirty needle in your child
Ha ha, stick me
An empty bottles still in hand still dead

And still wants more
I'm the 45 that's in your mouth

Much too young to focus
But to old to see

Makes him cry

11. Low Man's Lyric

My eyes seek reality
My fingers seek my veins
Theres a dog at your back step
He must come in from the rain

I fall cause I let go
The net below has rot away
So my eyes seek reality
And my fingers seek my veins

The trash fire is warm
But nowhere safe from the storm
And I can't bare to see
What I've let me be
So wicked and worn

So as I write to you
Of what is done and to do
Maybe you'll understand
And won't cry for this man
'Cause low man is due

Please forgive me

My eyes seek reality
My fingers feel for faith
Touch clean with a dirty hand
I touched the clean to the waste

The trash fire is warm
But nowhere safe from the storm
And I can't bare to see
What I've let me be
So wicked and worn

So as I write to you
Of what is done and to do
Maybe you'll understand
And won't cry for this man
'Cause low man is due

Please forgive me
Please forgive me
Please forgive me

So low the sky is all I see
All I want from you is forgive me
So you bring this poor dog in from the rain
Though he just wants right back out again

And I cry, to the alley way
Confess all to the rain
But I lie, lie straight to the mirror
The one I've broken, to match my face

The trash fire is warm
But nowhere safe from the storm
And I can't bare to see
What I've let me be
So wicked and worn

So as I write to you (yeah)
Of what is done and to do (yeah)
Maybe you'll understand
And won't cry for this man
'Cause low man is due

Please forgive me
Please forgive me

So low the sky is all I see
All I want from you is forgive me
So you bring this poor dog in from the rain
Though he just wants right back out again

My eyes seek reality
My fingers seek my veins

			

12. Attitude

Suppose I say
I'm never satisfied
Suppose I say
You cut some root
To make the tree survive

Just let me kill you for a while
Just let me kill you for a smile
Just let me kill you once
I'm oh so bored to death

Ohhhh, I hunger
I hunger

Born Into Attitude
Asleep at the wheel
Throw all your bullets in the fire
And run like hell
Why cure the fever?
What ever happened to sweat?

Suppose I say
the vultures smile at me
Suppose I say
I've sent them down
And they plan to pick you clean

And satifaction this way comes
And satifaction this way comes
And satifaction's here and gone, gone
Yeah gone again

Oooh, I hunger
Ooh I hunger

Born Into Attitude
Asleep at the wheel

Throw all your bullets in the fire
And run like hell

13. Fixxxer

Dolls of voodoo all stuck with pins
One for each of us and our sins
So you lay us in a line
Push your pins they make us humble
Only you can tell in time
If we fall or mearly stumble

But tell me
Can you heal what father's done?
Or fix this hole in mother's son?
Can you heal the broken worlds within?
Can you strip away so we may start again?

Tell me
Can you heal what father's done?
Or cut this rope and let us run?
Just when all seems fine
And I'm pain free
You jab another pin
Jab another pin in me

Mirror, mirror upon the wall
Break the spell or become the doll
See you sharpening the pins
So the holes will remind us
We're just the toys in the hands of another
And in time, the needles turn from shine to rust

But tell me
Can you heal what father's done?
Or fix this hole in mother's son?
Can you heal the broken worlds within?
Can you strip away so we may start again?

Tell me
Can you heal what father's done?
Or cut this rope and let us run?
Just when all seems fine
And I'm pain free
You jab another pin
Jab another pin in me

Jab it
Here come the pins

Blood for face
Sweat for dirt
Three X's for the stone
To break this curse
A ritual's due
I believe I'm not alone
Shell of shotgun
Pint of gin
Numb us up to shield the pins
Renew our faith
Which way we can
To fall in love with life again
To fall in love with life again
To fall in love with life again
To fall in love
To fall in love
To fall in love with life again

So tell me
Can you heal what father's done?
Or fix this hole in mother's son?
Can you heal the broken worlds within?
Can you strip away so we may start again?

Tell me
Can you heal what father's done?
Or cut this rope and let us run?
Just when all seems fine
And I'm pain free
You jab another pin
Jab another pin in me

No more pins in me
No more, no more pins in me
No more, no more pins in me
No more, no more, no more
No, no, no

[Originally recorded by Diamond Head]

I'm gonna be a rock and roll star
Gotta groove from night to day

Gonna make a million

Down the highway I go
Gonna get the stars from my pride
Make it in a rock and roll show

3. Sabbra Cadabra

[Originally recorded by Black Sabbath]
[Featuring "A National Acrobat"]

Feel so good I feel so fine
Love that little lady always on my mind
She gives me lovin' every night and day
Never gonna leave her, never goin' away

Someone to love me
You know she makes me feel alright
Someone to need me
Love me every single night

Feel so happy since I met that girl
When we're making love it's something out of this world
Feels so good to know that she's all mine
Going to love that woman 'til the end of time

Someone to live for
Love me 'til the end of time
She makes me feel happy
It's good to know that she's all mine

I am the world that hides
The universal secret of all time
Destruction of the empty spaces
Is my one and only crime
I've lived a thousand times
I found out what it means to be believed
The thoughts and images
The unborn child that never was conceived
Ya gotta believe me

Hey, I'm talking to you
Well I know its hard for you
To know the reason why
And I know you'll understand
More when it's time to die
Don't believe the life you have
Will be the only one
You have to let your body sleep
To let your soul live on

Feel so happy since I met that girl
When we're making love it's something out of this world
Feels so good to know that she's all mine
Going to love that woman 'til the end of time

Someone to live for
Love me 'til the end of time
She makes me feel happy
It's good to know that she's all mine

			

4. Turn The Page

[Originally recorded by Bob Seger]

On a long and lonesome highway east of Omaha
You can listen to the engine moanin' out his one note song
You think about the woman or the girl you knew the night before
But your thoughts will soon be wandering the way they always do
When you're ridin' sixteen hours and there's nothin' much to do
And you don't feel much like ridin', you just wish the trip was through

Here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Playin' star again
There I go
Turn the Page

SO you walk into this restaurant, all strung out from the road
And you feel the eyes upon you as you're shakin' off the cold
You pretend it doesn't bother you, but you just want to explode
Most times you can't hear 'em talk, other times you can
All the same old cliches, is it woman, is it man?
And you always seem outnumbered, you don't dare make a stand

Here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Playin' star again
There I go
Turn the Page

Out there in the spotlight you're a million miles away
Every ounce of energy you try and give away
As the sweat pours out your body like the music that you play
Later in the evening as you lie awake in bed
With the echoes of the amplifiers ringin' in your head
You smoke the day's last cigarette, rememberin' what she said

Yeah, here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Playin' star again
There I go
Turn the Page

There I go
Turn that page

There I go
There I go
There I go
There I go
There I go
There I go
I'm gone

7. Mercyful Fate Medley

[Originally recorded by Mercyful Fate]

[Featuring: "Evil," "Curse of the Pharaohs," "Satan's Fall,"]
["A Corpse Without Soul," and "Into the Coven."]

They're walking by the night
The moon has frozen blue
Long black coats a shelter for the rain
Their load must get through

Now bats are leaving their trees
They're joining the call
Seven satanic Hell preachers
Heading for the hall

Brining the blood of a newborn child
Got to succeed, if not it's Satan's fall

Way out in Egypt in the valley of kings
Where the mummified pharaohs
Pretend dead in their sleep

Don't touch, never ever steal
Unless you're in for the kill
Or you've been hit by the curse of the pharaohs
Yes you've been hit and the curse is on you

The curse of the pharaohs can be so deadly
Just destroying your future
Makin' it all shady

Don't touch, never ever steal
Unless you're in for the kill
Or you'll be hit by the curse of the pharaohs
Yes you'll be hit and the curse is on you

Listen
I'm a corpse
I'm a corpse
I'm a corpse without soul
Satan
He's taken
He's taken
He's taken his toll
He took it on me
I
I'm trapped
I'm trapped
I'm trapped in his spell
Tonight
I'm going
I'm going
I'm going to Hell inside his spell

Howl like a wolf
And a witch will open the door
Follow me and meet our high priestess

Yeah, come, come into my coven
Yeah, and become Lucifer's child

Undress until you're naked
And put on this white coat
Take this white cross and go
To the center of the ring

Yeah, come, come into my coven
Yeah, and become Lucifer's child

I was born on the cemetery
Under the sign of the moon
Raised from my grave by the dead
And, I was made a mercenary
In the legions of Hell
Now I'm king of pain, I'm insane

You know my only pleasure
Is to hear you cry
I'd love to hear you cry
I'd love to see you die
And I'll be the first
To watch your funeral
And I'll be the last to leave
I'd love to hear you cry

And when you're down
Beyond the ground
I'll dig up your body again
And make love to shame
Oh lady cry, and say goodbye
Oh lady cry, and say goodbye

Yeah, you've gotta say goodbye
Yeah, 'cause I will eat your mind

			

8. Astronomy

[Originally recorded by Blue Oyster Cult]

Clock strikes twelve and moondrops burst
Out at you from their hiding place
Like acid and oil on a madman's face
His reasons tend to fly away

Like lesser birds on the four winds
Like silver scrapes in May
Now the sands become a crust
And most of you have gone away

Come Susy dear, let's take a walk
Just out there upon the beach
I know you'll soon be married
And you'll want to know where the winds come from

Well it's never said at all
On the map that Carrie reads
Behind the clock back there you know
At the four winds bar

Yeah, hey, hey, hey, hey
Four winds at the four winds bar
Two doors locked and windows barred
One door let to take you in
The other one just mirrors it
Hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah, hey

Ooh, in hellish glare and inference
The other one's a duplicate
The queenly flux, eternal light
Or the light that never warms
Yes, the light, that never, never warms
Yes, the light, that never, never warms
Never warms
Never warms

The clock strikes twelve and moondrops burst
Out at you from their hiding place
Miss Carrie nurse and Suzy dear
Would find themselves at four winds bar

It's the nexus of the crisis
And the origin of storms
Just the place to hopelessly
Encounter time and then came me
Hey, hey, hey, hey

Call me Desdenova, eternal light
These gravely digs of mine
Will surely prove a sight
Hey, and don't forget my dog, fixed and consequent

Astronomy...a star
Astronomy...a star
Astronomy...a star
Astronomy...a star
Astronomy...a star

10. Tuesday's Gone

[Originally recorded by Lynyrd Skynyrd]

Train roll on, on down the line
Won't you please take me far, far away?
Now I feel the wind blow outside my door
I'm leaving my woman at home
My baby's gone
Tuesday's gone with the wind
My baby's gone, gone with the wind
Long gone

And I don't know where I'm going
I just want to be left alone
When this train ends I'll try again
I'm leaving my woman at home
My baby's gone

Tuesday's gone with the wind
Tuesday's gone, gone with the wind
Tuesday's gone, gone with the wind
My baby's gone with the wind
Train roll on

Tuesday's gone with the wind
Tuesday's gone, gone with the wind
Tuesday's gone, gone with the wind
My baby's gone with the wind
Train roll on

Train roll on many miles from my home
See, I'm, I'm riding my blues babe, blues away
Well, Tuesday, you see, she had to be free
But somehow I've got you to carry on

[repeat "Train roll on" and "Tuesday's gone" etc., in various combinations until the end]

Paid no mind to the distant thunder
Today filled his head with wonder... boy

Turn around and found the light lime
Good day to be alive... sir

Don't it feel right like this
All the pieces fall to his wish
Sucker for that quick reward... boy

Come squeeze the world and drip it down my throat... oh yeah
