2.THE CALL OF KTULU

Writer(s):Hetfield/Ulrich/Burton/Mustaine


3.MASTER OF PUPPETS

Written:Hetfield/Ulrich/Burton/Hammett

End of passion play, crumbling away
I'm your source of self-destruction
Veins that pump with fear, sucking darkest clear
Leading on your deaths' construction
Taste me you will see
More is all you need
You're dedicated to
How I'm killing you

Come crawling faster
Obey your Master
Your life burns faster
Obey your Master
Master

Master of Puppets I'm pulling your strings
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master

Needlework the way, never you betray
Life of death becoming clearer
Pain monopoly, ritual misery
Chop your breakfast on a mirror
Taste me you will see
More is all you need
You're dedicated to
How I'm killing you

Come crawling faster
Obey your Master
Your life burns faster
Obey your Master
Master

Master of Puppets I'm pulling your strings
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
Master
Master

Master, Master, where's the dreams that I've been after?
Master, Master, you promised only lies
Laughter, laughter, all I hear or see is laughter
Laughter, laughter, laughing at my cries
Fix me

Hell is worth all that, natural habitat
Just a rhyme without a reason
Neverending maze, drift on numbered days
Now your life is out of season
I will occupy
I will help you die
I will run through you
Now I rule you too

Come crawling faster
Obey your Master
Your life burns faster
Obey your Master
Master

Master of Puppets I'm pulling your strings
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master


4.OF WOLF AND MAN

Lyrics:Hetfield/Ulrich/Hammett
Music: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


5.THE THING THAT SHOULD NOT BE

Lyrics:Hetfield/Ulrich/Hammett
Music:Hetfield/Ulrich/Hammett

Messenger of fear in sight
Dark deception kills the light

Hybrid children watch the sea
Pray for father, roaming free

Fearless wretch
Insanity
He watches
Lurking beneath the sea
Great old one
Forbidden site
He searches
Hunter of the shadows is rising
Immortal
In madness you dwell

Crawling chaos, underground
Cult has summoned, twisted sound

Out from ruins once possessed
Fallen city, living death

Fearless wretch
Insanity
He watches
Lurking beneath the sea
Timeless sleep
Has been upset
He awakens
Hunter of the shadows is rising
Immortal
In madness you dwell
In madness you dwell

Not dead which eternal lie
Stranger eons death may die

Drain you of your sanity
Face the thing that should not be

Fearless wretch
Insanity
He watches
Lurking beneath the sea
Great old one
Forbidden site
He searches
Hunter of the shadows is rising
Immortal
In madness you dwell


6.Fuel

Gimme fuel

Gimme that which I desire
Ooh

On I burn


7.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 cheers 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

Da, da da da, da da da
Da da da da
Da, da da da, da da da
Da da da da da
Da, da da da, da da
Da da da da
Da, da da da, da da da
Da da da da da

Drift away
Fade away
Little tin goddess

Ash to ash
Dust to dust
Fade to black

Fortune, fame
Mirror, vain
Gone insane...
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
But the memory remains

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

Dance little tin goddess dance

Da, da da da, da da da
Da da da da
Da, da da da, da da
Da da da da da
Da, da da da, da da
Da da da da
Da, da da da, da da
Da da da da da

Da, da da da, da da da

8.No Leaf Clover

Lyrics:Hetfield/Ulrich
Music:Hetfield/Ulrich

And it feels right this time
On this crash course we're in the big time
Pay no mind to the distant thunder
Beauty fills his head with wonder, boy.

Says it feels right this time
Turn around, found new high lights
Good day to be alive Sir
Good day to be alive, he said

Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your
tunnel
is just a freight train coming your way
Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your
tunnel
is just the freight train coming your way

Don't it feel right like this
All the pieces fall to his wish
Suck up for that quick reward boy
Suck up for that quick reward they said

Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your
tunnel
is just a freight train coming your way
Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your
tunnel
is just the freight train coming your way
It's coming your way
It's coming your way
Here comes

Yeah, Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of
your tunnel
Is just a freight train coming your way. Yeah
Then it comes to be, Yeah(repeat 8 times)


9.HERO OF THE DAY

Lyrics:Hetfield/Ulrich/Hammett
Music:Hetfield/Ulrich/Hammett

Mama they try and break me..

The window burns to light the way back home
A light that warms no matter where they go
They're off to find the hero of the day
But what if they should fall by someone's wicked way

Still the window burns
Time so slowly turns
And someone there is sighing
Keepers of the flames
Do you feel your name?
Did you hear your babies crying?
Mama they try and break me
Still they try and break me

Excuse me while I tell them how to feel
These things we turn to me that still seem real
Now deservingly this easy chair
But the rocking starts the wheels of this play

Don't want your hate
But the fist I make
For you still no fear
No not on me
So please excuse me while I tell them how I feel

But now the dreams end
And now the dreams end
They everlast the night
So build a wall
Behind it crawl
And hide until it's light
So can you hear your babies crying now?

Still the window burns
Time so slowly turns
And someone there is sighing
Keepers of the flames
Did you hear your name?
Did you hear your babies crying?

But now the dreams end
And now the dreams end
They everlast the night
So build a wall
Behind it crawl
And hide until it's light
So can't you hear your babies crying now?

Mama they try and break me
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try
Mama they try
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try
Mama they try

11.BLEEDING ME

Lyrics:Hetfield/Ulrich/Hammett
Music:Hetfield/Ulrich/Hammett

I'm diggin' my way
I'm diggin' my way to somethin'
I'm diggin' my way to somethin' better
I'm pushin' to stay
I'm pushin' to stay with somethin'
I'm pushin' to stay with somethin' better

I'm sowing the seeds
I'm sowing the seeds I take
I'm sowing the seeds I take for granted
This thorn in my side
This thorn in my side is from the tree
This thorn in my side is from the tree I've planted
It tears me and I bleed
And I bleed

Caught under wheels roll
I take the leash
I'm bleeding me
Can't stop to save my soul
I take the leash that's bleeding me
I'm bleeding me
I can't take it
Caught under wheels roll
Oh, the bleeding of me
Of me

Caught under wheels roll
I take the leash
I'm bleeding me
Can't stop to save my soul
I take the leash that's bleeding me
I'm bleeding me
I can't take it
Caught under wheels roll
Oh, the bleeding of me
Oh, the bleeding of me

I am the beast that bleeds the feast
I am the blood
I am release

Come make me pure
Bleed me a cure
I'm caught, I'm caught, I'm caught under
Caught under wheels roll
I take that leash
I'm bleeding me
Can't stop to save my soul
I take the leash that's bleeding me
I'm bleeding me
I can't take it
I can't take it
I can't take it
Oh, the bleeding of me

I'm diggin' my way
I'm diggin' my way to somethin'
I'm diggin' my way to somethin' better
I'm pushin' to stay
I'm pushin' to stay with somethin'
I'm pushin' to stay with somethin' better
With somethin' better


12.NOTHING ELSE MATTERS

Lyrics:Hetfield/Ulrich
Music: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


13.UNTIL IT SLEEPS

Lyrics:Hetfield/Ulrich
Music:Hetfield/Ulrich

Where do I take this pain of mine
I run but it stays right by my side
So tear me open and pour me out
There's things inside that 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 chosen me
Don't want your grip
Don't want your greed
Don't want it
Now tear me open make you gone
No more can you hurt anyone,
And the fear still shakes me
So hold me, until it sleeps

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

Don't want it want it want it want it want it no
So tear me open but beware
There's things inside without a care,
And the dirt still stains me,
So wash me till I'm clean

Now tear me open make you gone
No longer will you hurt anyone,
And the hate still shapes me,
So hold me until it sleeps
Until it sleeps, until it sleeps, until it sleeps


14.FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS

Lyrics:Hetfield/Ulrich/Burton
Music:Hetfield/Ulrich/Burton

Make his fight on the hill in the early day
Constant chill deep inside
Shouting gun, on they run through the endless grey
On they fight, for they're right, yes, but who's to say?
For a hill men would kill, why? They do not know
Suffered wounds test their pride
Men of five, still alive through the raging glow
Gone insane from the pain that they surely know

For Whom the Bell Tolls
Time marches on
For Whom the Bell Tolls

Take a look to the sky just before you die
It's the last time he will
Blackened roar, massive roar fills the crumbling sky
Shattered goal fills his soul with a ruthless cry
Stranger now, are his eyes, to this mystery
He hears the silence so loud
Crack of dawn, all is gone except the will to be
Now they see what will be, blinded eyes to see

For Whom the Bell Tolls
Time marches on
For Whom the Bell Tolls


15.Minus Human

Lyrics:Hetfield/Ulrich
Music:Hetfield/Ulrich

Don't you leave me Father Time
Take me with you
Tell me does your sun still shine
Come squeeze the world and drip it down my throat oh yeah
Down my throat again woooah

You got to breathe man, breathe!
Coming up for Air
Breathe man, breathe!
Coming up for Air

Touch me so I think I'm here
Skin my senses
Barely breathing
Minus Human
Please squeeze the world and drip it down my throat again
Down my throat again woooah

You got to breathe man, breathe!
Coming up for Air
Breathe man, breathe!
Coming up for Air

You got to breathe man, breathe!
Coming up for Air
Breathe man, breathe!
Coming up for!


16.WHEREVER I MAY ROAM

Lyrics:Hetfield/Ulrich
Music: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


17.THE OUTLAW TORN

Lyrics:Hetfield/Ulrich
Music:Hetfield/Ulrich

You know I wait my whole lifetime for you
And now I wait my whole lifetime for you

I ride the dirt I ride the tide for you
I search the outside search inside for you
To take back what you left me
I know I'll always burn to be
No one seeks so I may find
And now I wait my whole lifetime
The outlaw torn
The outlaw torn

So on I wait my whole lifetime for you
So on I wait my whole lifetime for you

The more I search the more my need for you
The more I blast the more I bleed for you
You make me smash the clock and feel
I'd rather die behind the wheel
Time was never on my side
So on I wait my whole lifetime
The outlaw torn
The outlaw torn
The outlaw torn

And I'm torn
And if I close my mind in fear
Please pry it open
And if my face becomes sincere
Beware
And when I start to come undone
Stitch me together
And when you see me stretched remind me of what left this outlaw
torn

And if I close my mind in fear
Please pry it open
And if my face becomes sincere
Beware
And when I start to come undone
Stitch me together
And when you see me stretched remind me of what left this outlaw
torn


18.SAD BUT TRUE

Lyrics:Hetfield/Ulrich
Music: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


19.ONE

Lyrics:Hetfield/Ulrich
Music:Hetfield/Ulrich

I 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

Now 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


20.ENTER SANDMAN

Lyrics:Hetfield/Ulrich/Hammett
Music: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

Hush little 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


21.BATTERY

Lyrics:Hetfield/Ulrich
Music:Hetfield/Ulrich

Lashing out the action, returning the reaction
Weak are ripped and torn away
Hypnotizing power, crushing all that cower
Battery is here to stay

Smashing through the boundaries
Lunacy has found me
Cannot stop the Battery
Pounding out aggression
Turns into obsession
Cannot kill the Battery

Cannot kill the family
Battery is found in me

Battery
Battery

Crushing all deceivers, mashing non-believers
Never ending potency
Hungry violence seeker, feeding off the weaker
Breeding on insanity

Smashing through the boundaries
Lunacy has found me
Cannot stop the Battery
Pounding out aggression
Turns into obsession
Cannot kill the Battery

Cannot kill the family
Battery is found in me

Battery
Battery

Circle of destruction, hammer comes crushing
Powerhouse of energy
Whipping up a fury, dominating flurry
We create the Battery

Smashing through the boundaries
Lunacy has found me
Cannot stop the Battery
Pounding out aggression
Turns into obsession
Cannot kill the Battery

Cannot kill the family
Battery is found in me

Battery
Battery
Battery
Battery
