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 the things that will bite

Sleep woth 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

Hust till baby don't say a word

and never mind that noise you heard

It's just a beast 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 betray

I'm forever there

I'm your dreams, make you real

I'm your eye 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 when 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 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 dreams, 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 when 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 dreams, make you real

I'm your eyes when you must steal

I'm your pain when you can't feal

Sad but true

I'm your truth, telling lies

I'm your reason, alibis

I'm inside open your eyes

I'm you

Sad but true

HOLIER THAN YOU

(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 is 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 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

Throught constant pained disgrace

the young boy learn their rules

With time child drawns in

this whipping boy done wrong

Deprived of all his thoughts

the young man struggles on and on he's known

A wow unto his own

that never from this day

His will they'll take away

What I've felt

What I've known

never shined throught 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 throught in what I've shown

Never free

Never me

So I dub thee unforgiven

The dedicate their lives

to running all of his

He tries to please them all

this bitter man he is

Throughtout his life the same

he's battled constantly

This fight he cannot win

a tired man they see no longer cares

The old man they prepares

to die regretfully

the old man here is me

What I've felt

What I've known

never shined throught in what I've known

Never be

Never see

Won't see what might have been

What I've felt

What I've known

never shined throught in what I've known

Never free

Never me

So I dub the unforgiven

You labeled me

I'll label you

So I dub the unforgiven

WHEREVER I MAY ROAM

(Hetfield/Ulrich)

...And the road becomes my bridge

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

The game you stay a slave

Rover wanderer

nomad 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 part I reign

Rover wanderer

nomad 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 mind 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)

Libery 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 prepere 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 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 never 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 will hear evermore...

Don't tread on me

So be it

threaten no more

To secure peace is to prepare for war

Liberity or death, what we so proudly hail

Once you provoke her, rattling on 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

(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 of the

edge of forever

we must go

on through the never

then never comes

All that is, ever

ever was

vill 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 found 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 no 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 found you

every day for us something new

Open mind for a differend view

And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they say

Never cared for what they play

Never cared for what they do

Never cared for what they known

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

theremore I am

harvest the land

taking of the fallen lamb

Off through the new day's mist I rub

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

Shape shift nose to the wind

Shape shift feeling I've been

Move swift all senses clean

Earth's gift 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 nose to the wind

Shape shift feeling I've been

Mowe swift all senses clean

Earth's gift

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 her the discouraging lies

I hear faith in your cries

broken is the promice, 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 eyes

broken is the promice, betrayal

the healing hand held back by the deepened nail

Follow the god that failed

I see faith in your eyes

Broken is the promice, 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 us cold and hi in grave

I see faith in your eyes

never you hear the disciuraging lies

I hear faith in your cries

brokes is the promice, betrayal

the healing hand held back by the deepened nail

Follow the gof that failed

MY FRIEND OF MISERY

(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 smoothe 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 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 time are sent to try men's souls

but something's wrong with all you see

Yoy you'll take it on all yourself

remember, misery loves company

Misery

you insist that weight of the world

should be on your shoulders

Misery

there's much more to life than what you see

My friend of misert

You just stood there screaming

My friend of misery

THE STRUGGLE WITHIN

(Hetfield/Ulrich)

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

So many things you don't want to do

What is it? What you have got to lose

What is hell

What is it you thing 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

Home is not a home it becomes a hell

turning it into your prison sell

Advantages are taken, not hanged out

while you struggle inside your hell

Reaching out

grabbing for something you've got to feel

closing in

the pressure upon you is still unreal

Struggle within it suits you fine

Struggle within your ruin

Struggle within you seal your own coffin

Struggle within the struggling within

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 suit your fine

Struggle within your ruin

Struggle within you seal your own coffin

Struggle within the struggling within
