Enter Sandman (Hetfield/Ulrich/Hammett)
|
| 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

Sad But True (Hetfield/Ulrich)
|
| Hey
I'm your life
I'm the one who takes you there
Hey
I'm your life
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
I'm your pain
| When you must steal
When you can't feel
| Sad but true
I'm your dream, Mind astray
| I'm your eyes
I'm your pain
| While you're away
While you repay
| You know it's 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
I'm your pain
| When you must steal
When you can't feel
| Sad but true
I'm your dream, Mind astray
| I'm your eyes
I'm your pain
| While you're away
While you repay
| 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
I'm your pain
| When you must steal
When you can't feel
| Sad but true
I'm your truth, Telling lies
| I'm your reason
I'm inside
| Alibis
Open your eyes
| I'm you
Sad but true
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Holdier Than thou (Hetfield/Ulrich)
|
| 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 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

The Unforgiven (Hetfield/Ulrich/Hammett)
|
| 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

Wherever I May Roam (Hetfield/Ulrich)
| | |
| ...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
Nomad
| Wanderer
Vagabond
| Call me what you will
| | 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
| 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
| The less I have the more I gain
Off the beaten path I reign
| Rover
Nomad
| Wanderer
Vagabond
| Call me what 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
| | But I'll take my time anywhere
Free to speak my mind
And I'll take my find anywhere
| | | Anywhere I roam
Where I lay my head is home
| | Carved upon my stone
My body lie, But still I roam
| | | Wherever I may roam
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Don't Tread on me (Hetfield/Ulrich)
|
| 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
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'll hear evermore...
Don't tread on me
Love it or leave it, She with the deadly bite
Quick is the blue tongue, Forked as the lightning strike
Shining with brightness, Always on surveillance
The eyes, They ever close, Emblem of vigilance
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'll 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'll hear evermore...

Through the Never (Hetfield/Ulrich/Hammett)
|
| 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
| 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
Came to be, How it begun
All alone in the family of the sun
Curiosity teasing everyone
On our home, Third stone from the sun
| 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
Then never comes
| All that is, Ever
Ever was
Will be ever
Who we are
Ask forever
Twisting
Turning
Through the never
Never

Nothing else Matters (Hetfield/Ulrich)
|
| 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
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

Of Wolf and Man (Hetfield/Ulrich/Hammett)
|
| 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 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 the earth
Company we keep
Roaming the land while you sleep
| Shape shift
Shape shift
Move swift
Earth's gift
| Nose to the wind
Feeling I've been
All senses clean
Back to the meaning of life
Bright is the moon high in starlight
Chill in the air cold as steel tonight
We shift
Call of the wind
Fear in your eyes
It's later than you realized
| Shape shift
Shape shift
Move swift
Earth's gift
| Nose to the wind
Feeling I've been
All senses clean
Back to the meaning of life
I feel a change
Back to a better day
Hair stands on the back of my neck
In wildness is the preservation of the world
So seek the wolf in thyself
| Shape shift
Shape shift
Move swift
Earth's gift
| Nose to the wind
Feeling I've been
All senses clean
| Back to the meaning of wolf and man

The God That Failed (Hetfield/Ulrich)
|
| 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 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 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
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
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

My Friend of Mysery (Hetfield/Ulrich/Newsted)
|
| 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
You're out to save the world
| Misery You insist that the weight of the world Should be on your shoulders Misery There's so 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 that what you see My friend of misery
You just stood there creaming My friend of misery

The Struggle Within (Hetfield/Ulrich)
|
| Reaching out for something you've got to feel While clutching to what you had though was real
Kicking at a dead horse pleases you No way of showing your gratitude So many things you don't want to do What is it? What have you got to lose
What the hell What is it you think you're gonna find? Hypocrite Boredom sets into the boring mind
| Struggle within Struggle within Struggle within Struggle within
| It suits you fine Your ruin You seal your own coffin 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 Grabbing for something you've got to feel Closing in The pressure upon you is so unreal
| Struggle within Struggle within Struggle within Struggle within
| It suits you fine Your ruin You seal your own coffin The struggling within
Reaching out for something you've got to feel While clutching to what you had though was real What the hell
What is it you think you're gonna find? Hypocrite Boredom sets into the boring mind
| Struggle within Struggle within Struggle within Struggle within
| It suits you fine Your ruin You seal your own coffin The struggling within
