Metallica Through The Never Album

9.Cyanide

Sleep, and dream of this -
Death angel's kiss
Brings final bliss
Completely.

Empty, they say,
'Death, won't you
Let me stay?'
Empty, they say,
'Death, hear me call your name.'
(Ooh! Call your name.)

Suicide
I've already died.
It's just the funeral I've been waiting for.
Cyanide
Living dead inside
Break this empty shell forevermore.


Wait. Wait patiently.
Your death black wings
Unfolding sleep
Spreading o'er me.


Say, is that rain or are they tears
That stained your concrete face for years?
The crying, weeping, shedding strife
Year after year, life after life?

An air of freshly broken ground
A concrete angel lit right down
Upon the grave which swallows fast,
It's peace at last, hey, peace at last!


Forever more (and end this war).
Forever more (and end this war).
You're just the funeral I've been waiting for.
Cyanide.
