Enter Sandman Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight
[Chorus]
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight
[Chorus]
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land
Yeah
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
Exit light
Enter night
Grain of sand
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land
(Yeah, haha haha)
[Outro]
Oh, 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
We're off to never-never land
We're off to never-never land
Sad but True Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
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
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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 Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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?
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Holier than thou
You are
Holier than thou
You are
You know not
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus]
Holier than thou
You are
Holier than thou
You are
You know not
Yeah, who the hell are you?
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, you
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Holier than thou
You are
Holier than thou
You are
You know not
[Outro]
Not
The Unforgiven Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
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 onto his own, that never from this day
His will they'll take away, yeah
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
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
Woah-oh, woah
[Outro]
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
Don’t Tread on Me Lyrics
[Intro]
Don't tread on me
I said, don't tread on me
[Verse 1]
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
I said, don't tread on me
[Chorus]
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, hey
Don't tread on me
[Verse 2]
Love it or leave it
She with the deadly bite
Quick is the blue tongue
Forked as a lightning strike
Shining with brightness
Always on surveillance
(The eyes, they never close)
Emblem of vigilance
Ooh, no, no, no
Said, don't tread on me
[Chorus]
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
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
So be it, threaten no more
To secure peace is to prepare for war
[Verse 3]
Liberty or death
What we so proudly hail
Once you provoke her
Rattling of her tail
[Chorus]
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 Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
(Twisting, turning, through the never)
[Chorus]
All that is, ever, ever was
Will be ever, twisting, turning
Through the never
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
(Twisting, turning, through the never)
[Chorus]
All that is, ever, ever was
Will be ever, twisting, turning
Through the never
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
On through the never
We must go
On through the never
Out to the
Edge of forever
We must go
On through the never
Then never comes
[Pre-Chorus]
(Twisting, turning, through the never)
[Chorus]
All that is, ever, ever was
Will be ever, twisting, turning
Who we are, ask forever
Twisting, turning, through the never
[Outro]
Never
Nothing Else Matters Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Refrain]
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
[Verse]
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
[Chorus]
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know
[Refrain]
So close, no matter how far
It couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
[Chorus]
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse]
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
[Chorus]
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, yeah, yeah
[Guitar Solo]
[Refrain]
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No, nothing else matters
[Instrumental Outro]
Of Wolf and Man Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Shapeshift, nose to the wind
Shapeshift, feeding I've been
Move swift, all senses clean
Earth's gift
(Back to the meaning) Back to the meaning of life
[Verse 3]
Bright is the moon, high in starlight
Chill in the air cold as steel tonight
We shift, call of the wild
Fear in your eyes
It's later than you realized
[Chorus]
Shapeshift, nose to the wind
Shapeshift, feeding I've been
Move swift, all senses clean
Earth's gift
(Back to the meaning) Back to the meaning of life
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
I feel a change, back to a better day
(Shapeshift) Hair stands on the back of my neck
(Shapeshift) In wildness is the preservation of the world
So seek the wolf in thyself
[Chorus]
Shapeshift, nose to the wind
Shapeshift, feeding I have been
Move swift, all senses clean
Earth's gift
(Back to the meaning) back to the meaning
Of wolf and man, yeah
My Friend of Misery Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
My friend of misery
[Bass Solo: Jason Newsted]
[Dual Guitar Solo: Kirk Hammett & James Hetfield]
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
You just stood there screaming, oh
My friend of misery
Yeah, yeah, yo
The Struggle Within Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
S-s-s-s-so many things you don't want to do
What is it? What have you got to lose?
[Pre-Chorus]
(What the hell?) What the hell?
What is it you think you're gonna find?
(Hypocrite) Hypocrite
Boredom sets into the boring mind
[Chorus]
(Struggle within) It suits you fine
(Struggle within) Your ruin
(Struggle within) You seal your own coffin
(Struggle within) The struggling within
[Verse 2]
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-ow
(Reaching out) Reaching out
Grabbing for something you have got to feel
(Closing in) Closing in
The pressure upon you is so unreal
[Chorus]
(Struggle within) It suits you fine
(Struggle within) Your ruin
(Struggle within) You seal your own coffin
(Struggle within) The struggling within
Struggle
[Guitar Solo]
Go
[Bridge]
Reaching out for something you've got to feel
While clutching to what you had thought was real
[Pre-Chorus]
What the hell?
What is it you think you're gonna find?
Hypocrite
Boredom sets into the boring mind
[Chorus]
(Struggle within) It suits you fine
(Struggle within) Your ruin
(Struggle within) You seal your own coffin
(Struggle within) The struggling within
