Metallica - Fade To Black Lyrics

Metallica - Fade To Black Video

Life, it seems, will fade away

Drifting further, every day

Getting lost within myself

Nothing matters, no one else

I have lost the will to live

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 loss, this can't be real

I 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's 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

Bye...

Metallica - Through The Never Lyrics

Metallica - Through The Never Video

All that is, was and will be

Universe much too big to see

 

Time and space, never ending

Disturbing thoughts, questions pending

Limitation of human understanding

Too quick to criticize

Obligation to survive

We hunger to be alive

 

Twisting

Turning

Through the never

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

 

Gazing 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, Yeah!

 

Twisting

Turning

Through the never

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 of the

Edge of forever

We must go

On through the never

Then ever comes

 

Twisting

Turning

Through the never

All that is

Ever

Ever was

Will be ever

Twisting

Turning

Who we are

As forever

Twisting

Turning

Through the never!

Never

Metallica - Holier Than Thou Lyrics

Metallica - Holier Than Thou Video

No more!

The crap rolls out your mouth again

Haven't changed, your brain is still gelatine

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 and built them back with wealth

Judge not lest ye be judged yourself

 

Holier than thou

You are

Holier than thou

You are

You know not

 

(yeah! who the hell are you?)

 

Holier than thou

You are

Holier than thou

You are

You know not

Not!

Metallica - Some Kind Of Monster Lyrics

Metallica - Some Kind Of Monster Video

These are the eyes that can't see me

These are the hands that drop your trust

These are the boots that kick you around

This is the tongue that speaks on the inside

These are the ears that ring with hate

This is the face that'll never change

This is the fist that grinds you down

This is the voice of silence no more

 

These are the legs in circles run

This is the beating you'll never know

These are the lips that taste no freedom

This is the feel that's not so safe

This is the face you'll never change

This is the God that ain't so pure

This is the God that is not pure

This is the voice of silence no more

 

We the people

Are we the people?

 

Some kind of monster

The monster lives

 

This is the face that stones you cold

This is the moment that needs to breathe

These are the claws that scratch these wounds

This is the pain that never leaves

This is the tongue that whips you down

This is the burden of every man

These are the screams that pierce your skin

This is the voice of silence no more

 

This is the test of flesh and soul

This is the trap that smells so good

This is the flood that drains these eyes

These are the looks that chill to the bone

These are the fears that swing overhead

These are the weights that hold you down

This is the end that will never end

This is the voice of silence no more

 

We the people

Are we the people?

 

Some kind of monster

The monster lives

 

This is the cloud that swallows trust

This is the black that un-colors us

This is the face that you hide from

This is the mask that comes undone

 

Ominous, I'm in us

Metallica - Damage, Inc. Lyrics

Metallica - Damage, Inc. Video

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 ending 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 - The Memory Remains Lyrics

Metallica - The Memory Remains Video

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

Hide & swallow mansions whole

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

The memory remains, yeah

To this faded prima donna, yeah, yeah, yeah, hey

 

Dance little tin goddess, dance

Metallica - Battery Lyrics

Metallica - Battery Video

Lashing out the action, returning the reaction

Weak are ripped and torn away

Hypnotizing power, crushing all that cower

Battery is here to stay

 

Smashing through the boundaries

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

Battery

 

Crushing all deceivers, mashing non-believers

Never ending potency

Hungry violence seeker, feeding off the weaker

Breeding on insanity

 

Smashing through the boundaries

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

Battery

 

Circle of destruction, hammer comes crushing

Powerhouse of energy

Whipping up a fury, dominating flurry

We create the battery

 

Smashing through the boundaries

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

Metallica - Ronnie Lyrics

Metallica - Ronnie Video

Story starts, quiet town

Small-town boy, big-time frown

Never talks, never plays

Different path, lost his way

 

Then streets of red, red I'm afraid

There's no confetti, no parade

Nothing happens in this boring place

But, oh my God, how it all did change

 

Now 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 stained the sun red today

 

I always said something's wrong

With little, strange Ronnie Long

Never laughed, never smiled

Talked alone for miles and miles and miles

 

Gallow calls, son, I say

Keep your smile and laugh all day

Think once again in this boring place

For little boys, how they soon change

 

Now they all pray

Blood stain, wash away

 

He said

I lost my way

This bloody day

Lost my way

 

Yeah I heard it, he said

I lost my way

This bloody day

I lost my way

Oh, please wash away

But blood stained the sun red today

 

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.

Now we all 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

 

Yeah, yeah I heard it, he screamed

Lost my way

This bloody day

Lost my way

Oh, please wash away

But blood stained the sun red today

 

That's right

All things wash away

And they all fall down

But blood stained the sun today

 

Yeah, run along

All things wash away

And they all fall down

But blood stained the sun today

Lookin' for you to start up a fight

There's an evil feeling in our brains

Wake the sleeping dog, no, let him sleep

Metallica - The Four Horsemen Lyrics

Metallica - The Four Horsemen Video

By the last breath, the fourth winds blow

Better raise your ears

The sound of hooves knock at your door

Lock up your wife and children, now

It's time to wield the blade

For now you've got some company

 

The Horsemen are drawing nearer

On leather steeds, they ride

They've come to take your life

On through the dead of night

With the Four Horsemen, ride

Or choose your fate and die

 

You have been dying since the day you were born

You know it's all been planned

The quartet of deliverance rides

A sinner once, a sinner twice

No need for confessions now

'Cause now you've got the fight of your life

 

The Horsemen are drawing nearer

On leather steeds, they ride

They've come to take your life

On through the dead of night

With the Four Horsemen, ride

Or choose your fate and die

 

Time has taken its toll on you

The lines that crack your face

Famine, your body, it has torn through

Withered in every place

Pestilence, for what you had to endure

And what you have put others through

Death, deliverance, for you, for sure

Now there's 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 judgement hammer down

Safely inside armor: blood, guts, and sweat

 

The Horsemen are drawing nearer

On leather steeds they ride

They've come to take your life

On through the dead of night

With the Four Horsemen ride

Or choose your fate and die

Metallica - No Remorse Lyrics

Metallica - No Remorse Video

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 repent

We don't care what it meant

Another day, another death

Another sorrow, another breath

No remorse, no repent

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 the feel the sorrow

No remorse is the one command

 

War without end

No remorse, no repent

We don't care what it meant

Another day, another death

Another sorrow, another breath

No remorse, no repent

We don't care what it meant

Another day, another death

Another sorrow, another breath

 

Only the strong survive

No one 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 repent

We don't care what it meant

Another day, another death

Another sorrow, another breath

No remorse, no repent

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

Blood starts a-flowing

No mercy given to anyone here

The furious fighting

Swords are like lightning

It all becomes frightening

You know death is near

No remorse

Metallica - One Lyrics

Metallica - One Video

I can't remember anything

Can't tell if this is true or dream

Deep down inside I feel the scream

This terrible silence stops with me

 

Now that the war is through with me

I'm waking up, I cannot see

That there's 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 it's 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

Metallica - Enter Sandman Lyrics

Metallica - Enter Sandman Video

Say your prayers, little one

Don't forget, my son

To include everyone

I tuck you in, warm within

Keep you free from sin

Till the Sandman he comes

 

Sleep with one eye open

Gripping your pillow tight

 

Exit light

Enter night

Take my hand

We're off to Never Never Land

 

Something's wrong, shut the light

Heavy thoughts tonight

And they aren't of Snow White

Dreams of war, dreams of liars

Dreams of dragon's fire

And of things that will bite

 

Sleep with one eye open

Gripping your pillow tight

 

Exit light

Enter night

Take my hand

We're off to Never Never Land

Yeah-heah!

 

Now I lay me down to sleep

(Now I lay me down to sleep)

Pray the Lord my soul to keep

(Pray the Lord my soul to keep)

If I die before I wake

(If I die before I wake)

Pray the Lord my soul to take

(Pray the Lord my soul to take)

 

Hush little baby, don't say a word

And never mind that noise you heard

It's just the beasts under your bed

In your closet, in your head

 

Exit light

Enter night

Grain of sand

Exit light

Enter night

Take my hand

We're off to Never Never Land

 

Boooooo!

Yeah, yeah!

Yo oh!

 

We're off to Never Never Land (Take my hand)

We're off to Never Never Land (Take my hand)

We're off to Never Never Land

We're off to Never Never Land

Metallica - The Unforgiven Lyrics

Metallica - The Unforgiven Video

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

 

Never free

Never me

So I dub thee unforgiven

 

You labeled me

I'll label you

So I dub thee unforgiven

 

Never free

Never me

So I dub thee unforgiven

 

You labeled me

I'll label you

So I dub thee unforgiven

 

Never free

Never me

So I dub thee unforgiven

Metallica - The Unforgiven II Lyrics

Metallica - The Unforgiven II Video

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, then I can understand the you

 

Lay beside me, under wicked sky

Through 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 to stone

Behind the door, should I open it for you?

Yeah, 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?

 

Come 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?

Yeah, 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 your 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?

Yeah, what I've felt, what I've known

So 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
