Metallica Lyrics

One


can't remember anything
Can't tell if this is true or dream
Deep down inside I feel to scream
This terrible silence stops me
No 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

Enter Sandman
Say your prayers little one
Don't forget, My son
To include everyone 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  
Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray the lord my soul to keep
If I die before I wake
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

Fuel
Gimme fuel, Gimme fire, Gimme that which I desire
Oh, Yeah! 
Turn on, I see red
Adrenaline crash and crack my head
Nitro junkie, paint me dead
And I see red 

I run across through black and white
War horse
War head
Fuck 'em, man
White knuckle tight
Through black and white 

Oh
When I burn
Fuel is pumping engines
Burning hard
Loose and clean
Oh
And then I burn
Turning my direction
Quench my thirst with gasoline
So gimme fuel, Gimme fire, Gimme that which I desire 

Turn on beyond the bone
Swallow future, spit out hope
Burn your face upon the chrome 

Take the corner, going to crash
Headlights
Headlines
Another junkie, who lives too fast 

Yeah
Lives way too fast, fast, fast, fast, fast, fast 

White knuckle tight 

Gimme fuel
Gimme fire
My desire 

On I burn

The Memory Remains
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 and swallow mansions whole
And 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 

Drift away
Fade away
Little tin goddess 

Ash to ash
Dust to dust
Fade to black 

Ash to ash
Dust to dust
Fade to black
The memories remain
Yeah
To this faded prima donna
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 

Dance little tin goddess dance 

(Say yes - at least say hello)
(Say yes - at least say hello)

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 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
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  
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, We live it our way
All these words I don't just say 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

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

The Unforgiven II
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
The 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 

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
And I bury it in you
Because you're unforgiven too 

Never free
Never me
'Cause you're unforgiven too

Until It Sleeps
Where do I take this pain of mine
I run but it stays right by my side 
So tear me open, pour me out
These things inside they scream and shout
And the pain still hates me
So hold me until it sleeps 

Just like a curse, just like a stray
You feed it once and now it stays
Now it stays 

So tear me open, but beware
There's things inside without a care
And the dirt still stains me
So wash me until I'm clean 

It grips you so hold me
It stains you so hold me
It hates you so hold me
It holds you so hold me
Until it sleeps... 

So tell me why you've choosen me
Don't want your grip
Don't want your greed
Don't want it 

I'll Tear me open, make you gone
No more can you hurt anyone
And the fear still shakes me
So hold me until it sleeps 

I don't want it.....NO 

It grips you so hold me
It stains you so hold me
It hates you so hold me
It holds you, holds you, holds you
Until it sleeps... 

So tear me open, but beware
The pain's inside without a care
And the dirt still stains me
So wash me til I'm clean 

I'll Tear me open, make you gone
No longer will you hurt anyone
And the hate still shakes me
So hold me until it sleeps
Until it sleeps
Until it sleeps
Until it sleeps
