Metallica – The Unforgiven II

The Unforgiven II
Metallica

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 me
Then I can understand 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 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?

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?

Oh, what I’ve felt
Oh, what I’ve known
I take this key
And I bury it in you
Because you’re unforgiven too

Never free
Never me
‘Cause you’re unforgiven too
Oh

Metallica – Whiskey In The Jar

Whiskey In The Jar
Metallica

As I was goin’ over the Cork and Kerry mountains
I saw Captain Farrell and his money, he was countin’
I first produced my pistol and then produced my rapier
I said: Stand and deliver, oh, or the devil, he may take ya

I took all of his money and it was a pretty penny
I took all of his money, yeah, and I brought it home to Molly
She swore that she’d love me, no, never would she leave me
But the devil take that woman, yeah, for you know she tricked me easy

Musha ring, dum-a-doo dum-a-da
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
There’s whiskey in the jar-o

Being drunk and weary, I went to Molly’s chamber
Takin’ money with me, but I never knew the danger
For about six, or maybe seven, in walked Captain Farrell
I jumped up, fired my pistols and I shot him with both barrels

Musha ring, dum-a-doo dum-a-da
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
There’s whiskey in the jar-o
Yeah, yeah, whiskey in the jar-o

Now, some men like fishin’ and some men like the fowlin’
And some men like to hear, to hear the cannon ball a-roarin’
Me, I like sleepin’, especially in my Molly’s chamber
But here I am, in prison, here I am with a ball and chain, yeah

Musha ring, dum-a-doo dum-a-da
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
There’s whiskey in the jar-o

Musha ring, dum-a-doo dum-a-da
Musha ring, dum-a-doo dum-a-da
Musha ring, dum-a-doo dum-a-da
Musha ring, dum-a-doo dum-a-da

Hey
I’m your life

Hey

I’m the one who cares
They
They betray
I’m your only true friend now
They
They’ll betray
I’m forever there

I’m your dream, make you real
I’m your eyes when you must steal
I’m your pain when you can’t feel
Sad, but true

I’m your dream, mind astray
I’m your eyes while you’re away
I’m your pain while you repay
You know it’s sad, but true

Sad, but true

You
You’re my mask
You’re my cover, my shelter
You
You’re my mask
You’re the one who’s blamed
Do
Do my work
Do my dirty work, scapegoat
Do
Do my deeds
For you’re the one who’s shamed

I’m your dream, make you real
I’m your eyes when you must steal
I’m your pain when you can’t feel
Sad, but true

I’m your dream, mind astray
I’m your eyes while you’re away

You know it’s sad, but true

Sad, but true

I’m your dream
I’m your eyes
I’m your pain

I’m your dream (I’m your dream)
I’m your eyes (I’m your eyes)
I’m your pain (I’m your pain)
You know it’s sad, but true

Hate
I’m your hate
I’m your hate when you want love
Pay
Pay the price
Pay, for nothing’s fair
Hey
I’m your life
I’m the one who took you there
Hey
I’m your life
And I no longer care

I’m your dream, make you real
I’m your eyes when you must steal
I’m your pain when you can’t feel
Sad, but true

I’m your truth, telling lies
I’m your reasoned alibis
I’m inside, open your eyes
I’m you

Sad, but true

Metallica – For Whom The Bell Tolls

For Whom The Bell Tolls
Metallica

For Whom The Bell Tolls
Metallica

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
Stiffened 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 sky just before you die
It’s the last time you will
Blackened roar, massive roar fills the crumbling sky
Shattered goal 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 whom the bell tolls

Metallica – Master Of Puppets

Master Of Puppets
Metallica

Master Of Puppets
Metallica

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

Taste me, you will see
More is all you need
Dedicated to
How I’m killing you

Come crawling faster (faster)
Obey your master (master)
Your life burns faster (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

Needlework the way
Never you betray
Life of death becoming clearer
Pain monopoly
Ritual misery
Chop your breakfast on a mirror

Taste me, you will see
More is all you need
Dedicated to
How I’m killing you

Come crawling faster (faster)
Obey your master (master)
Your life burns faster (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

(Master, master, master, master)

Master, master
Where’s the dreams that I’ve been after?
Master, master
You promised only lies

Laughter, laughter
All I hear or see is laughter
Laughter, laughter
Laughing at my cries

Fix me

Hell is worth all that
Natural habitat
Just a rhyme without a reason
Never-ending maze
Drift on numbered days
Now your life is out of season

I will occupy
I will help you die
I will run through you
Now I rule you too

Come crawling faster (faster)
Obey your master (master)
Your life burns faster (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

Metallica – Fade To Black

Fade To Black
Metallica

Fade To Black
Metallica

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 are 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’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
Goodbye

Metallica – The Unforgiven

The Unforgiven
Metallica

The Unforgiven
Metallica

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

Ooh, a vow unto his own
That never from this day
His will they’ll take away, yeah

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, yeah

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, oh, oh

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 – One

One
Metallica

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 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

Enter Sandman
Metallica

Say your prayers, little one, don’t forget, my son
To include everyone
I tuck you in, warm within, keep you free from sin
‘Til the Sandman, he comes, ah

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We’re off to Never-Neverland

Something’s wrong, shut the light, heavy thoughts tonight
And they aren’t of Snow White
Dreams of war, dreams of liars, dreams of dragons’ fire
And of things that will bite, yeah

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We’re off to Never-Neverland
Yeah

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-Neverland
Yeah

Oh
Yeah, yeah
Whoa, oh

(We’re off to Never-Neverland) take my hand
(We’re off to Never-Neverland) take my hand

(We’re off to Never-Neverland)
(We’re off to Never-Neverland)
(We’re off to Never-Neverland)
(We’re off to Never-Neverland)

Metallica – Nothing Else Matters

Nothing Else Matters
Metallica

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
It couldn’t be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know

I 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 say
Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know

So close, no matter how far
Couldn’t be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No, nothing else matters
