Metallica (Black Album) Lyrics

Enter Sandman

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 to-night,
And they aren't of snow white,
Dreams of war, dreams of liars,
Dreams of dragon's, 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-never land, 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-never land
Yeah, ha ha ha, ugh! ye-yeah, yo-o

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,
We're off to never-never land
(We're off to never-never land)

Sad But True

Hey, (Hey),
I'm your life, i'm the one, who takes you, there,
Hey, (Hey),
I'm your life, i'm the one who cares,
They, (They), they betray,
I'm your only true friend now,
They, (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), you're my mask,
You're my cover, my shelter,
You, (You), you're my mask,
You're the one who's blamed,
Do, (Do), do my work,
Do my dirty work, scapegoat,
Do, (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,
I'm your pain while you repay,
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, (Hate), i'm your hate,
I'm your hate, when you want love,
Pay, (Pay), pay the price,
Pay, for nothing's, fair,
Hey, (Hey), i'm your life,
I'm the one who took you there,
Hey, (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!

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 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 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
Yeah!, who the hell are you,
Hey!, you

Holier than thou, you are
Holier than thou, you are
You know not, not!

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
Ooh, 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 can-not, 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 whooa,
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)

Wherever I May Roam

(And the road, becomes, my bride),
And the road, becomes, my bride,
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 crave,
Only knowledge, will, I save,
To the game, you stay, a slave
Rover, wanderer, nomad, vagabond,
Call me, what you will

Oh!, 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),
And the earth, becomes, my throne,
I adapt to the unknown,
Under wandering stars, i've grown,
By myself but, not alone,
I ask, no one

And my ties, are severed clean,
Less I have, the more, I gain,
Off the beaten, path, I reign,
Rover, wanderer, nomad, vagabond,
Call me, what you will

Yeah, 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, ye-yeah

But i'll take my time, anywhere,
I'm free to speak my, mind,
And i'll take my find, anywhere
Anywhere, I roam,
Where I lay my head is home, that's right

But i'll take my time, anywhere,
I'm free to speak my mind, anywhere,
And i'll redefine anywhere,
Anywhere, I roam,
Where I lay my head is, home,
Carved upon my, stone,
My body lies, but still I, roam, ye-yeah!

Wherever I may roam, wherever, I may roam, roam!
Wherever I may, roam, wherever I may roam, yeah!
Wherever I may, wander, wander, wander,
Wherever I may roam,
Ye-yeah, wherever I may roam,
Ye-yeah, wherever I may roam,
(Wherever I may roam)

Don't Tread On Me

Don't tread on me!, so don't tread on me
Liberty, or death, what we so proudly, hail,
Once you provoke her, rattling of her tail,
Never begins it, never but once engaged,
Never surrenders, showing the fangs of rage

So don't tread on me!,
So be it, threaten no more,
To secure peace is, to prepare, for, war,
So be it, settle the score,
Touch me again for the words, that you will hear evermore

Don't tread on me!,
Love it or live it, she with the deadly, bite,
Quick is the blue tongue, forked as a lightning, strike,
Shining with brightness, always on sur-veillance,
(The eyes, they never close), emblem of vigilance
No, no, no , no!
So don't tread on me

So be it, threaten no more,
To secure peace is, to prepare for war,
So be it, settle the score,
Touch me again for the words, that you will hear evermore,
Don't tread on me!

So be it, threaten no more,
To secure peace is, to prepare for war,
Liberty or death, what we so proudly, hail,
Once you provoke her, rattling of her tail

So be it, threaten no more,
To secure peace is, to prepare for war,
So be it, settle the score
Touch me again for the words, that you will hear evermore,
Don't tread on me!

Through The Never

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
Obligation to survive
We hunger to be alive, yeah!

(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
Come 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 to the,
Edge, of, forever, we must go,
On, through, the, never, the never comes

(Twisting, turning, through the never)
All that is, ever
Ever was, will be, ever
Twisting, turning,
Who we are, ask forever
Twisting, turning, through the, never,
Never!

Nothing Else Matters

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 my-self 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-o, 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-o, but I know

I never opened my-self 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-o,
And I know, yeah!

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

Of Wolf And Man

Off through the new day's, mist, I, run,
Out from the new day's, mist, I, have come,
I hunt, therefore I am
Harvest the land, taking, of the fallen, lamb

Off through the new day's, mist, I, run,
Out from the new day's, mist, I, have come,
We shift, pulsing with the earth,
Company we keep, roaming the land while you, sleep

Ooh, shape shift, nose to the wind,
Shape shift, feeling i've, been,
Move swift, all senses clean,
Earth's gift, back to the meaning
Back to the meaning, of, life

Bright is the moon, high in star-light,
Chill in the air, cold as steel, tonight,
We shift, call of the wild,
Fear in your eyes, it's later than you rea-lized

Ooh, shape shift, nose to the wind,
Shape shift, feeling i've, been,
Move swift, all senses clean,
Earth's gift, back to the meaning
Back to the meaning, of, life

I feel a change,
Back to a better day, shape shift,
Hair stands on the back of my neck, shape shift,
In wildness, is the preservation of the world,
So seek the wolf, in, thyself

Shape shift, nose to the wind,
Shape shift, feeling I have, been,
Move swift, all senses clean,
Earth's gift, back to the meaning
Back to the meaning, of wolf, and man, yeah!

The God That Failed

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 feeds),
It grows, (It grows),
It clouds, all that you will know,
Deceit, deceive,
Decide, 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, held 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 feeds),
It grows, (It grows),
It clouds, all that you will know,
Deceit, deceive,
Decide, 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, held back, by, the deepened nail,
Follow, the god that failed

I see, faith, in your eyes,
Broken is the promise, betrayal,
The healing hand, held 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, held back, by, the deepened nail,
Follow, the god that failed,
Follow, the god that failed
Broken is the promise,
Betrayal, betrayal, yeah!

My Friend Of Misery

You just, stood there, screaming,
Fearing, no one, was 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've heard,
You, you're smothered in tragedy
And 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 still 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,
These times 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!

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, oh!,
My friend of misery, yeah, yeah, yeah!

The Struggle Within

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 gratitude,
Sssso many things you don't want to do,
What is it, what have you got to lose

(What the hell), what the hell!
What is it you think, you're gonna find,
(Hypocrite), hypocrite!
Boredom sets into the boring mind

Struggle within, it suits you fine,
Struggle within, your ruin,
Struggle within, you seal 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), reaching out,
Grabbing for something you've got to feel,
(Closing in), closing in,
The pressure upon you is so unreal

Struggle within, it suits you fine,
Struggle within, your ruin,
Struggle within, you seal your own coffin,
Struggle within, the struggling within
Struggle!

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 seal your own coffin,
Struggle within, the struggling within
