2.Nothing Else Matters

Lyricist:James HetfieldLars Ulrich
Writer(s):James HetfieldLars Ulrich

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

4.Voyage Voyage

Lyricist:Dominique DubiosJean - Michel Rivat
Writer(s):Dominique DubiosJean - Michel Rivat

Au dessus des vieux volcans,
Glisse des ailes sous les tapis du vent,
Voyage, voyage,
Eternellement.
De nuages en marecages,
De vent d'Espagne en pluie d'equateur,
Voyage, voyage,
Vole dans les hauteurs
Au dessus des capitales,
Des idees fatales
Regardent l'ocean...
Voyage, voyage
Plus loin que la nuit et le jour,(voyage voyage)
Voyage(voyage)
Dans l'espace inoui de l'amour.
Voyage, voyage
Sur l'eau sacree d'un fleuve indien,(voyage voyage)
Voyage(voyage)
Et jamais ne revient.
Sur le Gange ou l'Amazone,
Chez les blacks, chez les sikhs, chez les jaunes,
Voyage, voyage
Dans tout le royaume.
Sur les dunes du Sahara,
Des iles Fidji au Fujiyama,
Voyage, voyage,
Ne t'arretes pas.
Au dessus des barbeles,
Des coeurs bombardes
Regardent l'ocean.
Voyage, voyage
Plus loin que la nuit et le jour,(voyage voyage)
Voyage(voyage)
Dans l'espace inoui de l'amour.
Voyage, voyage
Sur l'eau sacree d'un fleuve indien,(voyage voyage)
Voyage(voyage)
Et jamais ne revient.
Au dessus des capitales,
Des idees fatales
Regardent l'ocean.
Voyage, voyage
Plus loin que la nuit et le jour,(voyage voyage)
Voyage(voyage)
Dans l'espace inoui de l'amour.
Voyage, voyage
Sur l'eau sacree d'un fleuve indien,(voyage voyage)
Voyage(voyage)

5.Hymn

Lyricist:Lees, John
Writer(s):Lees, John

Valley's deep and the mountains so high, if you want to
see God you've got to move to the other side.
You stand up there with your head in the clouds, don't try
to fly you know you might not come down.
Don't try to fly, dear God, You might not come down.
Jesus came down from Heaven to earth
The People said it was a virgin birth
Jesus came down from Heaven to earth
The People said it was a virgin birth
He told great stories of the Lord
And said He was the saviour of us all
He told great stories of the Lord
And said He was the saviour of us all
For this we killed him,
nailed Him up high
He rose again as if to ask us why
Then He ascended into the sky
As if to say in God alone you soar
As if to say in God alone we fly.
Valley's deep and the mountains so high, if you want to
see God you've got to move to the other side.
You stand up there with your head in the clouds, don't try
to fly you know you might not come down.
Don't try to fly, dear God, You might not come down


6.Join Me(Schiller Version)

Lyricist:Ville Valo
Writer(s):Ville Valo

Baby join me
Baby join me
Baby join me
We are so young
our lives have just begun
but already we're considering
escape from this world
and we've waited for so long
for this moment to come
was so anxious to be together
together in death
Won't you die tonight for love
Baby join me in death
Won't you die
Baby join me in death
Won't you die tonight for love
Baby join me in death
This world is a cruel place
and we're here only to lose
so before live tears us apart let
death bless me with you
Won't you die tonight for love
Baby join me in death
Won't you die
Baby join me in death
Won't you die tonight for love
Baby join me in death
this live ain't worth living
this live ain't worth living
this live ain't worth living
this live ain't worth living
Won't you die tonight for love
Baby join me in death
Won't you die
Baby join me in death
Won't you die tonight for love
Baby join me in death
Baby join me in death


7.The Raven

Lyricist:Parsons,AlanWoolfson, Eric
Writer(s):Parsons,AlanWoolfson, Eric

The clock struck midnight
And through my sleeping
I heard a tapping at my door
I looked but nothing lay in the darkness
And so I turned inside once more

To my amazement
There stood a raven
Whose shadow hung above my door
Then through the silence
It spoke the one word
That I shall hear for evermore

Nevermore
Thus quoth the raven, nevermore

And still the raven remains in my room
No matter how much I implore
No words can soothe him
No prayer remove him
And I must hear for evermore

Quoth the raven, nevermore
Nevermore
Thus quoth the raven, nevermore


8.Angels

Lyricist:Guy ChambersWilliams,Robbie
Writer(s):Guy ChambersWilliams,Robbie

I sit and wait
Does an angel contemplate my faith
And do they know
The places where we go, when we're grey and old
Cause I have been told
That salvation, lets their wings unfold
So when I'm lying in my bed
Thoughts running through my head
And feel the love is dead
I'm loving angels instead

And trough it all, she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call
She won't forsake
I'm loving angels instead

When I'm feeling weak
And my pain walks down a one way street
I look above
And I know I'll always be blessed with love
And as the feeling grows
She brings flesh to my bones
And when the love is dead
I'm loving angels instead


9.The Forest

Lyricist:A. BrightmannC. Heusmann
Writer(s):A. BrightmannC. Heusmann

Each time the bell tolls
I feel inner change
Crossing the bridge
From the weak to the tainted
There we will meet with the true sires of her
Calling up spirits of love and desire

Slip through the dark
As my bones turn to rust
For there's nothing to keep me
From what I've become.

Let the darkness
Keep my secret
Will she hold me
Till the dead of night
Till the fall of might.

Punish me now
For my world is surrounded
With inkblots of madness
and cold empty halls.

Will the forest fold me in her wings
Keep me silent strike the daemon within
Find my solace in her weary arms
Then I will be saved by the night
No longer slave to my mind
Sweet redemption

Suffer the screams as I walk through this land
Suffer the empty regret by my hand
Conquer the mountains I moulded with tears
Retrace catastrophe now burning clear

Punish me now
As my bones turn to rust
For there's nothing to save me
From what I've become.

Will the forest fold me in her wings
Keep me silent strike the daemon within
Find my solace in her weary arms
Then I will be saved by the night
No longer slave to my mind
I will be saved by the night
No longer slave to my mind
Sweet redemption


10.Fix You

Lyricist:C. MartinG. BerrymanJ. Buckland
Writer(s):C. MartinG. BerrymanJ. Buckland

When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
and ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

High up above or down below
when you're too in love to let it go
but If you never try you'll never know
Just what your worth

Lights will guide you home
and ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears streaming down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears streaming down your face and I

Tears streaming down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face and I

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you


11.One

Lyricist:Adam ClaytonDavid EvansLaurence MullenPaul David Hewson
Writer(s):Adam ClaytonDavid EvansLaurence MullenPaul David Hewson

Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same?
Will it make it easier on you now?
You got someone to blame

You say one love, one life(one life)
It's one need in the night
One love(one love), get to share it
Leaves you darling, if you don't care for it

Did I disappoint you?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without

Well it's too late, tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We're one, but we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other
One...

Have you come here for forgiveness?
Have you come to raise the dead?
Have you come here to play Jesus?
To the lepers in your head

Well, did I ask too much, more than a lot?
You gave me nothing, now it's all I got
We're one, but we're not the same
Well we, hurt each other
Then we do it again

You say
Love is a temple
Love is a higher law
Love is a temple
Love is the higher law
You ask me to enter
Well then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt

One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters and my
Brothers
One life
But we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other

One...
One love

Writer(s):Lennon,JohnYoko Ono

So this is Xmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Xmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young

A very Merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Xmas
For weak and for strong
For rich and the poor ones
The world is so wrong
And so happy Xmas
For black and for white
For yellow and red ones
Let's stop all the fight

A very Merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Xmas
And what have we done
Another year over
A new one just begun
And so happy Xmas
We hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young

A very Merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
War is over, if you want it
War is over now

Happy Xmas


13.Sadness Pt. 1


14.Forever Young

Lyricist:Gold, MarianLloyd, BernhardMertens, Frank
Writer(s):Gold, MarianLloyd, BernhardMertens, Frank

let's dance in style, lets dance for a while
heaven can wait we're only watching the skies
hoping for the best but expecting the worst
are you going to drop the bomb or not?
let us die young or let us live forever
we don't have the power but we never say never
sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
the music's for the sad men
can you imagine when this race is won
turn our golden faces into the sun
praising our leaders we're getting in tune
the music's played by the madmen
forever young, i want to be forever young
do you really want to live forever, forever and ever
some are like water, some are like the heat
some are a melody and some are the beat
sooner or later they all will be gone
why don't they stay young
it's so hard to get old without a cause
i don't want to perish like a fading horse
youth is like diamonds in the sun
and dimonds are forever
so many adventures couldn't happen today
so many songs we forgot to play
so many dreams are swinging out of the blue
we let them come true


15.Missing


16.Let Down

Lyricist:Greenwood, ColinGreenwood, JonathanO' Brien, EdwardSelway,
PhilipYorke, Thom
Writer(s):Greenwood, ColinGreenwood, JonathanO' Brien, EdwardSelway,
PhilipYorke, Thom

Transport, motorways and tramlines
Starting and then stopping
Taking off and landing
The emptiest of feelings
Disappointed people clinging on to bottles
And when it comes it's so so disappointing

Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around

Shell smashed, juices flowing
Wings twitch, legs are going
Don't get sentimental
It always ends up drivel

One day I'm going to grow wings
A chemical reaction
Hysterical and useless
Hysterical and ...

Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around

Let down again
Let down again
Let down again

You know, you know where you are with
You know where you are with
Floor collapsing
Floating, bouncing back
And one day....
I am going to grow wings
A chemical reaction
Hysterical and useless
Hysterical and...

Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around


17.Sinners & Saints


18.Crazy Crazy Nights

Lyricist:Mitchell, AdamStanley, Paul
Writer(s):Mitchell, AdamStanley, Paul

These are crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy nights
These are crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy nights

People try to take my soul away,
but I don't hear the rap that they all say
They try to tell us we don't belong,
that's alright, we're millions strong
This is my music, it makes me proud,
these are my people and this is my crowd

Sometimes days are so hard to survive,
a million ways to bury you alive
The sun goes down like a bad bad dream
You're wound up tight, gotta let off steam
They say they can break you again and again,
if life is a radio, turn up to ten

And they try to tell us that we don't belong
But that's alright, we're millions strong
You are my people, you are my crowd,
this is our music, we love it loud
Yeah, and nobody's gonna change me,
'cos that's who I am
