Metallica - To Live Is To Die

...

Metallica - Holier Than Thou

No more!
The crap rolls out your mouth again
Haven't changed, your brain is still gelatin
Little whispers 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

Metallica - Chasing Light

There’s no light

Down and out as darkness falls
So much more than he can take
Shakes the cage in deep withdrawals
Come on, give the boy a break

Oh, he will break
He’s no mistake

Chase that light, lean on me
Face that fight, lean on me
Catch your fall, lean on me
End it all, lean on me
Struggle on, cause without darkness
Without darkness, there’s no light

Lost his way through wicked streets
But he is someone’s little boy
All the love a young one needs
Thoughtless elders have destroyed

It is destroyed
He’s just a boy

Chase that light, lean on me
Face that fight, lean on me
Catch your fall, lean on me
End it all, lean on me
Struggle on, cause without darkness
Without darkness, there’s no light

One step down
Block it all from view
One step down
With apathy, look straight through
One step down
Turn so you won’t see
One step down
He’s just like you and me

Chase that light, lean on me
Face that fight, lean on me
Catch your fall, lean on me
End it all, lean on me
Struggle on, cause without darkness
Without darkness, there’s no light

There’s no light

Metallica - Room of Mirrors

In a mirrored room
All alone I stand
Strip away the phantom fame
Exposing all sides to see
The good and bad in me

In a mirrored room
All alone I stand
Seeing past the flesh and bone
The shame and the fear I hide
Could I show you what’s inside?

Would you
Criticize, scrutinize
Stigmatize my pain?
Would you
Summarize, patronize
Classify insane?

So I stand here
Before you
You might judge
You might just bury me

Or you might set me free

In a mirrored room
Talking to myself
And the voices pushing back
I’ll let them inside my heart
But they’ll tear it all apart

In a mirrored room
Just a simple man
Naked, broken, beat, and scarred
What do I really know?
That fear of letting go

Would you
Criticize, scrutinize
Analyze my pain?
Would you
Summarize, patronize
Classify insane?
So I stand here
Before you
You might judge
You might just bury me
Or you might set me
Or you might set me free
Would you
Criticize, scrutinize
Ostracize my pain?
Would you
Summarize, patronize
Classify insane?

So I stand here
Before you
You might judge
You might just bury me

Or you might set me
Oh, please won’t you set me free

Metallica - Too Far Gone?

I, I am desperation
Need it so bad today
I, I am isolation
Static and disarray
Need this, gotta have more
Crawling out my skin
Sickness, scarring returns
Burning me again

Too far gone
Am I too far gone
Am I too far gone to save?
Help me make it through the day
No

I, I am tribulation
Digging down to the bone
I, I am agitation
Never leaves me alone
Keep on, push it along
Don’t want to feel this
Sink in, start to believe
That I don’t exist

Too far gone
Am I too far gone
Am I too far gone to save?
Help me make it through the day
Oh

All away
I am desperation
All away
I am isolation
All away
I am agitation
All away

Too far gone
Never too far gone
I’m never too far gone to save
I can make it through the day

Make it through the day

Just for today

Metallica - Halo On Fire

Obey
Obey
Come won't you stay
Sincere
Sincere
All ends in tears
Endure
Endure
Thoughts most impure
Concede
Concede
But both shall we bleed

Oh, Halo on fire
The midnight knows it well
Fast, is desire
Creates another hell
I fear to turn on the light
For the darkness won't go away
Fast, is desire
Turn out the light
Halo on fire

Allure
Allure
Sweetness obscure
Abide
Abide
Secrets inside
Deprive
Deprive
To feel so alive
Obey
Obey
Just don't turn away

Oh, Halo on fire
The midnight knows it well
Fast, is desire
Creates another hell
I fear to turn on the light
For the darkness won't go away
Fast, is desire
Turn out the light
Halo on fire

Prayers cannot get through
Return to sender
Unto which of you
Shall I surrender
Twisting in disguise
Dark resurrection
Lighting up the skies
Wicked perfection

Too dark to sleep
Can't slip away
Open or close
My eyes betray
Beyond the black
Come won't you stay

Hello darkness
Say goodbye
Hello darkness
Say goodbye
Hello darkness
Say goodbye

Metallica - The Unforgiven

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 thee Unforgiven

They dedicate their lives
to running all of his
He tries to please them all
this bitter man he is

Throughout his life the same
he's battled constantly
This fight he cannot win
a 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 thee Unforgiven

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 thee Unforgiven

You labeled me
I'll label you
So I dub thee Unforgiven

Metallica - 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

Blistering 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

Smoldering 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

Metallica - My World

The motherfuckers got in my head
Trying to make me someone else instead

It's my world now

Mama, why's it rainin' in my room
Cheer up boy clouds will move on soon
Heavy fog got me lost inside
Gonna sit right back and enjoy this ride

It's my world now
You can't have it
It's my world, It's my world
It's my world

I'm out of my head, out of my head
Get 'em out of my head, out of my head
Get 'em out

Who's in charge of my head today
Dancin' devils in angels way

It's my time now

Look out motherfuckers here I come
Gonna make my head home
The sons of bitches tried to take my head
Tried to make me someone else instead

It's my world now
You can't have it
It's my world, It's my world
It's my world

I'm out of my head, out of my head
Get 'em out of my head, out of my head
Get 'em out

Not only do I not know the answer
I don't even know what the question is

God it feels like it only rains on me

Not only do I not know the answer
I don't even know what the question is

I'm out of my head, out of my head
Get 'em out of my head, out of my head
Get 'em out

Enough's enough

Metallica - Shadows Follow

Hanging by a thread as I play dead
Hanging by a thread and my mind is code red
Cut and run, try to hide, get away,
Shut my eyes, just to hide from the fate
Cut and run, try to hide, get away,
Cover up, get shelter from the hate

Demonized, liquified, tranquilized,
Prophesied, just to hide from life
Night and day, led astray, in decay,
Come what may, not to face that fight

Seething
Breathing
Nightmares grow
On I run
Still my shadows follow

Never can I stop cause they hunt me
Never can I stop cause the beast is hungry
Like a wolf on the hunt stalking prey
Closing in, no it won’t let me be
Like a wolf on the hunt stalks a prey
Any cost, fulfill a destiny

Seething
Fast breathing
Nightmares grow
On I run
Still my shadows follow
On I run
But still my shadows follow

Cut and run, hide away from fate
Cover up, try to hide the hate
Like a wolf, it won’t let me be
Closing in, wish away, shut my eyes

Wish it away

Seething
Fast breathing
Nightmares grow
On I run
Still my shadows follow

Facing
My demons
Now I know
If I run
Still my shadows follow

I say NO!
Still my shadows follow

Metallica - 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

Blood will follow blood

Dying time is here

Damage, Incorporated

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

Blood will follow blood

Dying time is here

Damage, Incorporated

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 endings on these dark sets

All's fair for Damage, Inc. you see

Step a little closer, if you please

Blood will follow blood

Dying time is here

Damage, Incorporated

Metallica - Hero Of The Day

Mama, they try and break me

The window burns to light the way back home

A light that warms no matter where they've gone

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 tend to how I feel

These things return to me that still seem real

Now, deservingly, this easy chair

But the rocking stopped by wheels of despair

Don't want your aid

But the fist I make

For years can't hold or feel

No, I'm not all me

So please excuse me while I tend to how I feel

But now the dreams and waking screams

That ever last the night

So build the 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 feel your names?

Did you hear your babies crying?

But now the dreams and waking screams

That ever last the night

So build a wall, behind it crawl

And hide until it's light

So can't you hear your babies crying now?

Mama, they try and break me

Mama, they try and break me

Mama they try

Mama they try

Metallica - The Call Of Ktulu

...

Metallica - Blitzkrieg

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's 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 calling, can we survive the blitzkrieg.

(originally recorded by Blitzkrieg)

Metallica - The End Of The Line

Need... more and more

Tainted misery 

Bleed... battle scars

Chemical affinity

Reign... legacy

Innocence corrode

Stain... rot away

Catatonic overload

Choke... asphyxia

Snuff reality

Scorch... kill the light

Incinerate celebrity

Reaper... butchery

Karma amputee

Bloodline... redefine

Death contagious deity

Hooked into this deceiver

Need more and more

Into the endless fever

Need more and more

New consequence machine

You burn through all your gasoline

Asylum overtime

Nevermind...

You've reached the end of the line

Time... Choke the clock

Steal another day

Die... Faithfully

Narcissistic fade away

Twisted... Jump the rail

Shatter the crowd below

Breaker... Chase the ghost

From latest high to all-time low

Hooked into this deceiver

Need more and more

Into the endless fever

Need more and more

New consequence machine

Burn through all your gasoline

Asylum overtime

Nevermind...

You've reached the end of the line

Drop the hourglass of time

Spilling sand we will not find

As we gather here today 

We bid farewell... 

The slave becomes the master

The slave becomes the master

The slave becomes the master

The slave becomes the master

Need more and more

Right now and ever after

Need more and more

New consequence machine

Burn through all your gasoline

Asylum overtime

Nevermind...

Dead hourglass of time

Sand we will not ever find

We gather here today 

Say goodbye 

Cause you've reached the end of the line

The end of the line

The end of the line

The end of the line

You've reached the end of the line

Metallica - 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 merely stumble

But tell me, can you heal what father's done?

Or fix this hole in a 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 thy 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 a 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

Blood for face, sweat for dirt

Three Xs 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 a 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

Metallica - ManUNkind

Chaos,

Awaiting for Adams return

Madness,

Smiling as we watch it burn

I’ve become

Hostage to my mind

Left myself behind

Blind lead blind

Quest to find

Faith in man(un)kind

Garden,

Of Eden, so simple and pure

Greedy,

Needy, must we have more

I’ve become

Hostage to my mind

Left myself behind

Blind lead blind

Quest to find

Faith in man(un)kind

Fascinate

Partner of insanity

Decimate

Lessons we never learn

Dominate

Killing of the innocence

Deviate

And to dust you return

Yeah

Seized by the day

Frozen captive by the night

Seized by the day

All the dark days of your life

Seized by the day

Frozen captive by the night

Led so astray

All the dark days of your life

Zero,

Reset, creation of man

Foolish,

Ready, to witness again?

I’ve become

Hostage to my mind

Left myself behind

Blind lead blind

Quest to find

Faith in man(un)kind

Faith in man(un)kind

Oh, Faith in man(un)kind

Faith in man(un)kind

Oh, Faith in man(un)kind

Metallica - Confusion

Wake to face the day
Grab this life and walk away
War is never done
Rub the patch and battle on
Make it go away
Please make it go away

Confusion
All sanity is now beyond me
Delusion
All sanity is but a memory
My life…
The war that never ends

Leave the battlefield
Yet its horrors never heal
Coming home from war
Pieces don’t fit anymore
Make it go away
Please make it go away

Confusion
All sanity is now beyond me
Delusion
All sanity is but a memory
My life…
The war that never ends

Father please come home
Shell shocked all I’ve known
Father please come home

Label him a deadwood soldier now
Cast away and left to roam
Rapid is the road to sacrifice
Just takes longer to come home

Confusion
All sanity is now beyond me
Delusion
Crossfire ricochets inside me
Trapped in a memory forever
My Life…
The war that never ends

Metallica - The Unnamed Feeling

Been here before
Been here before
Been here before
Been here before

Been here before
Been here before

Been here before couldn't say I liked it
But do I start writing all this down?
Just let me plug you into my world
Can't you help me be uncrazy?

Name this for me, heat the cold air
Take the chill off of my life
And if I could I'd turn my eyes
To look inside to see what's comin'

It comes alive, It comes alive, It comes alive
And I die a little more
It comes alive, It comes alive, It comes alive
Each moment here I die a little more
Oooh, I die, I die, I die a little more

Then the unnamed feeling
It comes alive
Then the unnamed feeling
Takes me away

Been here before
Been here before
Been here before
Been here before

Been here before
Been here before

I'm frantic in your soothing arms
I can not sleep in this down filled world
I've found safety in this loneliness
But I can not stand it anymore

Cross my heart hope not to die
Swallow evil, ride the sky
Lose myself in a crowded room
You fool, you fool, it will be here soon

It comes alive, It comes alive, It comes alive
And I die a little more
It comes alive, It comes alive, It comes alive
Each moment here I die a little more
Oooh, I die, I die, I die a little more

Then the unnamed feeling
It comes alive
Then the unnamed feeling
Treats me this way
And I wait for this train
Toes over the line
And then the unnamed feeling
Takes me away
It takes me
Then the unnamed feeling
It comes alive, yeayeah
Then the unnamed feeling
Takes me away
Yeah, takes me away

Get the fuck out of here
I just wanna get the fuck away from me
I rage, I glaze, I hurt, I hate
I hate it all, why? Why? Why me?

I cannot sleep with a head like this
I wanna cry, I wanna scream
I rage, I glaze, I hurt, I hate
I wanna hate it all away

Then the unnamed feeling
It comes alive, yeayeah
Then the unnamed feeling
Treats me this way
Then I wait for this train
My toes are over the line
Then the unnamed feeling
Takes me away
Yeah, it takes me away
Then the unnamed feeling
It comes alive
Then the unnamed feeling
Takes me away
