Like a siren in my head that always
Threatens to repeat Like a blind man that is strapped into the speeding driver's seat Like a face That learns to speak When all it knew was how to bite Like a misery that keeps me focused Though I've gone astray Like an endless nightmare that I must awaken from each day Like conviction A premonition Not worthy of, so I deny...... I deny I blind my eyes and try to force it all into place I stitch them up, see not my fall from grace I blind my eyes, I hide and feel it passing me by I open just in time to say goodbye Almost like your life Almost like your endless fight Curse the day is long Realize you don't belong Disconnect somehow Never stop the bleeding now Almost like your fight And there it went, Almost like your life Like a wound that keeps on bleeding to remind me not to think Like a raging river drowning when I only need a drink Like a poison That I swallow But I want the world to die Like a release from prison That I didn't know I was in Like a fight to live the past I prayed To leave From way back then Like a general Without a mission Until the war will start again...... start again I blind my eyes and try to force it all into place I stitch them up, see not my fall from grace I blind my eyes, I hide and feel it passing me by I open just in time to say goodbye Almost like your life Almost like your endless fight Curse the day is long Realize you don't belong Disconnect somehow Never stop the bleeding now Almost like your fight And there it went, Almost like your life Like a touch from hell to feel how hot That it can get if you get caught Like a strike from heaven turns that key And brings you straight down to your knees Like a touch from hell to feel how hot That it can get if I get caught Like a strike from heaven to reprieve That brings you straight down to your knees Almost like your life Almost like your endless fight Curse the day is long Realize you don't belong Disconnect somehow Never stop the bleeding now Almost like your fight And there it went, Almost like your life That was just your life 02. The End Of The Line Music by James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett, Robert Trujillo Lyrics by James Hetfield

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 03.

You rise
You fall You're down, then you rise again What don't kill ya make ya more strong Rise, fall, down, rise again What don't kill ya make ya more strong Rise, fall, down, rise again What don't kill ya make ya more strong Through black days Through black nights Through pitch black insides Breaking your teeth on the hard life comin' Show your scars Cutting your feet on the hard earth runnin' Show your scars Breaking your life, broken, beat and scarred But we die hard The dawn, The death, The fight to the final breath What don't kill ya make ya more strong Dawn, death, fight, final breath What don't kill ya make ya more strong Dawn, death, fight, final breath What don't kill ya make ya more strong They scratch me They scrape me They cut and rape me Breaking your teeth on the hard life comin' Show your scars Cutting your feet on the hard earth runnin' Show your scars Breaking your life, broken, beat and scarred But we die hard Breaking your teeth on the hard life comin' Show your scars Cutting your feet on the hard earth runnin' Show your scars Bleeding your soul in a hard luck story Show your scars Spilling your blood in the hot sun's glory Show your scars Breaking your life, broken, beat and scarred We die hard 04. The Day That Never Comes Music by James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett, Robert Trujillo Lyrics by James Hetfield
Born to push you around
Better just stay down You pull away He hits the flesh You hit the ground Mouth so full of lies Tend to black your eyes Just keep them closed Keep praying Just keep waiting Waiting for the one The day that never comes When you stand up and feel the warmth But the son shine never comes No, the son shine never comes Push you cross that line, Just stay down this time Hide in yourself Crawl in yourself You'll have your time God I'll make them pay Take it back one day I'll end this day I'll splatter color on this gray Waiting for the one The day that never comes When you stand up and feel the warmth But the son shine never comes Love... is a four letter word, And never spoken here Love... is a four letter word, Here in this prison I suffer this no longer, I'll put an end to this, I swear This, I swear The son will shine This, I swear, This, I swear, This, I swear! 05. All Nightmare Long Music by James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett, Robert Trujillo Lyrics by James Hetfield
Luck. Runs. Out.
Crawl from the wreckage one more time Horrific memory twists the mind Dark, rutted, cold and hard to turn Path of destruction feel it burn Still life... incarnation Still life... infamy Hallucination Heresy Still you run, what's to come, what's to be 'Cause we... Hunt you down without mercy Hunt you down all nightmare long Feel us breathe upon your face Feel us shift, every move we trace Hunt you down without mercy Hunt you down all nightmare long Luck. Runs. Out. You crawl back in, But your luck runs out Luck. Runs. Out. The light that is not light is here To flush you out with your own fear You hide, you hide but will be found Release your grip without a sound Still life... immolation Still life... infamy Hallucination Heresy Still you run, what's to come, what's to be 'Cause we... Hunt you down without mercy Hunt you down all nightmare long Feel us breathe upon your face Feel us shift, every move we trace Hunt you down without mercy Hunt you down all nightmare long Luck. Runs. Out. You crawl back in, but your luck runs out Then you crawl back in, Into your obsession Never to return This is your confession Hunt you down without mercy Hunt you down all nightmare long Feel us breathe upon your face Feel us shift, every move we trace Hunt you down without mercy Hunt you down all nightmare long Luck. Runs. Out. You crawl back in, but your luck runs out Your luck runs out 06. Cyanide Music by James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett, Robert Trujillo Lyrics by James Hetfield
Sleep and dream of this
Death angel's kiss Brings final bliss Completely Empty they say, Death, won't you let me stay? Empty they say, Death, hear me call your name, Call your name... ...suicide I've already died You're just the funeral I've been waiting for ...cyanide Living dead inside Break this empty shell forever more Wait, wait patiently Your death black wings Unfolding sleep Spreading o'er me Empty they say, Death, won't you let me stay? Empty they say, Death, hear me call your name, Call your name... ...suicide I've already died You're just the funeral I've been waiting for ...cyanide Living dead inside Break this empty shell forever more Say, is that rain or are they tears? That has stained your concrete face for years The crying, weeping, shedding strife Year after year, life after life An air of freshly broken ground A concrete angel lit right down Upon the grave which swallows fast It's peace at last, peace at last! Empty they say, Death, won't you let me stay? Empty they say, Death, hear me call your name, Call your name... ...suicide I've already died You're just the funeral I've been waiting for ...cyanide Living dead inside Break this empty shell forever more Forever more, Forever more It's just the funeral I've been waiting for 07. The Unforgiven III Music by James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett, Robert Trujillo Lyrics by James Hetfield
How could he know this new dawn's light
Would change his life forever? Set sail to sea, but pulled off course By the light of golden treasure Was he the one causing pain With his careless dreaming? Been afraid, always afraid, Of the things he's feeling He could just be gone He would just sail on He'll just sail on How can I be lost, if I've got nowhere to go? Search for seas of gold, How come it's got so cold? How can I be lost? In remembrance I relive And how can I blame you, When it's me I can't forgive? These days drift on inside a fog Thick and suffocating His sinking life, outside its hell Inside, intoxicating He's run aground Like his life, Water much too shallow Slipping fast, down with his ship, Fading in the shadows Now a castaway They've all gone away They've gone away How can I be lost, if I've got nowhere to go? Search for seas of gold, How come it's got so cold? How can I be lost? In remembrance I relive And how can I blame you, When it's me I can't forgive? Forgive me Forgive me not Why can't I forgive me? Set sail to sea, but pulled off course By the light of golden treasure How could he know this new dawn's light Would change his life forever? How can I be lost, if I've got nowhere to go? Search for seas of gold, How come it's got so cold? How can I be lost? In remembrance I relive And how can I blame you, When it's me I can't forgive? 08. The Judas Kiss Music by James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett, Robert Trujillo Lyrics by James Hetfield
When the world has turned its back
When the days have turned pitch black When the fear abducts your tongue When the fire's dead and gone So, what now? Where go I? When you think it's all said and done When you are the ostracized Selfish ridden dead goodbyes Twisting on the tourniquet When the pieces never fit So, what now? Where go I? When you think it's all said and done Bow down Sell your soul to me I will set you free Pacify your demons Bow down Surrender unto me Submit infectiously Sanctify your demons Into abyss, You don't exist Cannot resist, The Judas kiss When the storm has blacked your sky Intuition crucify When the ego strips your reign Assassinate the living flame So, what now? Where go I? When you think it's all said and done Venom of a life insane Bites into your fragile vein Internalize and decimate Patronize and complicate So, what now? Where go I? When you think it's all said and done Bow down Sell your soul to me I will set you free Pacify your demons Bow down Surrender unto me Submit infectiously Sanctify your demons Into abyss, You don't exist Cannot resist, The Judas kiss Judas lives, recite this vow I've become your new god now Followed you from dawn of time Whispered thoughts into your mind Watched your towers hit the ground Lured your children never found Helped your kings abuse their crown In the heart of feeble man Plant the seed of my own plan The strong and powerful will fall Find a piece of me in all... Inside you all So, bow down Sell your soul to me I will set you free Pacify your demons Bow down Surrender unto me Submit infectiously Sanctify your demons Into abyss, You don't exist Cannot resist, The Judas kiss 09.

10. My Apocalypse Music by James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett, Robert Trujillo Lyrics by James Hetfield
Claustrophobic
Crawl out of this skin Heart explosive Reach in, pull that pin Fear thy name: extermination Desecrate inhale the fire So we cross that line Into the grips Total eclipse Suffer unto my apocalypse Deadly vision Prophecy reveal Death magnetic Pulling closer still Fear thy name: annihilation Desolate inhale the fire So we cross that line Into the grips Total eclipse Suffer unto my apocalypse Crushing metal, ripping skin Tossing body, mannequin Spilling blood, bleeding gas Mangle flesh, snapping spine Dripping bloody valentine Shatter face, spitting glass Split apart Split apart Split apart Spit Spit it out What makes me drift a little bit closer? Dead man takes the steering wheel What makes me know it's time to cross over? Born to repeat until I feel See through the skin, bones they all rattle Future and past, they disagree Flesh falls away, bones they all shatter I start to see the end in me Claustrophobic Climb out of this skin Heart explosive Reach in, pull that pin Violate, annihilate All wounds unto my eyes Obliterate, exterminate As life itself denied Fear thy name as hell awakens Destiny inhale the fire But we've crossed that line Into the grips Total eclipse Suffer unto my apocalypse Tyrant awaken my apocalypse Demon awaken my apocalypse Heaven awaken my apocalypse Suffer forever my apocalypse |
