The House Jack
Built
(Hetfield, Ulrich, Hammett)
Open door, so I walk inside
Close my eyes, find my place to hide
And I shake as I take it in
Let the show begin
Open my eyes
Just to have them close again
Well on my way
But on my way to where I've been
It swallows me
As it takes me in its fog
I twist away
As I give this world the nod
Open door, so I walk inside
Close my eyes, find my place to hide
And I shake as I take it in
Let the show begin
Open my eyes
Just to have them close once again
Don't want control
As it takes me down and down and down again
Is that the moon
Or just a light that lights this dead end street?
Is that you there
Or just another demon that I meet?
The
higher you are
The
farther you fall
The
longer the walk
The
farther you crawl
My
body, my temple
This
temple, it tilts
Step
into the house that Jack built
The
higher you are
The
farther you fall
The
longer the walk
The
farther you crawl
My
body, my temple
This
temple it tilts
Yes,
this is the house that Jack built
Open door, yes, I walk inside
Swallow me so the pain subsides
And I shake as I take the sin
Let the show begin
(Let the show begin)
(Let the show begin)
The
higher you are
The
farther you fall
The
longer the walk
The
farther you crawl
My
body, my temple
This
temple, it tilts
Yes
this is the house that Jack built
The
higher you are
The
farther you fall
Longer
the walk
The
farther you crawl
My
body, my temple
This
temple, it tilts
Yes,
I am, I am, I am...
Open my eyes
It swallows me
Is that you there?
I twist away
Away, away, away
Until It Sleeps
(Hetfield, Ulrich)
Where do I take this pain of mine?
I run but it stays right by my side
So tear me open, 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 the curse, just like the 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, until it sleeps, 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
I'll 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
I 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
I'll 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, until it sleeps
King Nothing
(Hetfield, Ulrich, Hammett)
Wish I may
Wish I might have this I wish tonight
Are you satisfied?
Dig for gold, dig for fame
You dig to make your name
Are you pacified?
All
the wants you waste
All
the things you've chased
Then
it all crashes down
And
you break your crown
And
you point your finger but there's no one around
Just
want one thing
Just
to play the King
But
the castle's crumbled and you're left with just a name
Where's
your crown, King Nothing?
Where's
your crown?
Hot and cold
Bought and sold
A heart as hard as gold
Yeah, are you satisfied?
Wish I might, wish I may
You wish your life away
Are you pacified?
All
the wants you waste
All
the things you've chased
Then
it all crashes down
And
you break your crown
And
you point your finger but there's no one around
Just
want one thing
Just
to play the King
But
the castle's crumbled and you're left with just a name
Where's
your crown, King Nothing?
You're
nothing
Come
on, where's your crown?
Huh!
I wish I may
I wish I might have this wish, I wish tonight
I want that star, I want it now
I want it all and I don't care how
Careful what you wish
Careful what you say
Careful what you wish, you may regret it
Careful what you wish, you just might get it
Then
it all crashes down
And
you break your crown
And
you point your finger but there's no one around
Just
want one thing
Just
to play the King
But
the castle's crumbled and you're left with just a name
Where's
your crown, King Nothing?
Nothing
No, you're just nothing
Where's your crown, King Nothing?
No, you're just nothing
Absolutely nothing
Off to never-never land
Hero Of The Day
(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've gone
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
Someone
there is sighing
Keepers
of the flames
Do
ya feel your name?
Can't
you hear your babies cryin'?
Mama, they try and break me
Still they try and break me
Excuse me while I tend to how I feel
These things return to me that still seem real
Now, deservingly this easy chair
But the rocking stopped by wheels of despair
Don't want your aid
But the fist I've made for years can't hold off
fear
No, I'm not all me
So please excuse me while I tend to how I feel
But now the dreams and waking screams that ever
last the night
(But now the dreams that ever last the night)
So build the wall behind it, crawl and hide until
it's light
(So build the wall and hide until it's light)
So can you hear your babies cryin' now?
Still
the window burns
Time
so slowly turns
(The window burns)
And
someone there is sighing
(Someone there is sighing)
Keepers
of the flames
Can't
you hear your name?
(Keepers
of the flames)
Can't
you hear your babies cryin'?
(Can't you
hear your bebies cryin'?)
But now the dreams and waking screams that ever
last the night
(But now the dreams that ever last the night)
So build the wall behind it, crawl and hide until
it's light
(So build the wall and hide until it's light)
So can't you hear your babies cryin' 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 and break me)
Mama, they try and break me
(Mama, they try and break me)
Mama, they try
Mama, they try

Wasting My Hate
(Hetfield, Ulrich, Hammett)
Good day, how do

Don't waste, waste your breath
And I won't waste my hate on you
Ain't gonna waste my hate
Ain't gonna waste my hate on you
I think I'll keep it for myself
Ain't gonna give no more
Ain't got the time to help you score
I think it's time you pleased yourself
Yourself
Good

And
I send a smile to you
Don't

And
I won't waste my hate on you
Waste
my hate on you
Hate!
Ha, ha
Think you're worthy now?
You think enough to even raise the brow
And to laugh and tip that two-pronged crown?
Well, I see my hands, I see my feet
I feel that blood that pumps in beat
But where the hell's my mind goin' now?
Dead gone now
Good

Mama, she has taught me well
Told me when I was young
"Son, your life's an open book
Don't close it 'fore it's done"
"The brightest flame burns quickest"
That's what I heard her say
A son's heart's owed to mother
But I must find my way
Let
my heart go
Let
your son grow
Mama,
let my heart go
Or
let this heart be still, yeah, still
"Rebel", my new last name
Wild blood in my veins
Apron strings around my neck
The mark that still remains
I left home at an early age of what I heard was
wrong
I never asked forgiveness
But what I said is done
Let
my heart go
Let
your son grow
Mama,
let my heart go
Or
let this heart be still
Never I ask of you but never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness I now take to
my grave
Never I ask of you but never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness I now take to
my grave
So let this heart be still
Mama, now I'm coming home
I'm not all you wished of me
A mother's love for her son
Unspoken, help me be
Yeah, I took your love for granted
And all the things you said to me, yeah
I need your arms to welcome me
But a cold stone's all I see
Let
my heart go
Let
your son grow
Mama,
let my heart go
Or
let this heart be still
Let
my heart go
Mama,
let my heart go
Mm,
ya never let my heart go
So
let this heart be still, woh
Never I ask of you but never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness I now take to
my grave
Never I ask of you but never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness I now take to
my grave
So let this heart be still
Thorn Within
(Hetfield, Ulrich, Hammett)

Story starts, quiet town
Small town boy, big time frown
Never talks, never plays
Diff'rent path, lost his way
Then streets of red, red I'm afraid
There's no confetti, no parade
Nothing happens in this boring place
But, oh my God, how it all did change
Now they all pray
Blood stain wash away
He
said
"Lost
my way this bloody day
Lost
my way"
I
heard him
He
said
"Lost
my way this bloody day
Lost
my way"
All
things wash away
But
blood stained the sun red today
I always said
"Somethin' wrong with little, strange Ronnie
Long"
Never laughed, never smiled
Talked alone for miles and miles and miles
Gallow calls, "Son", I say
"Keep your smile and laugh all day
Think once again in this boring place
For little boys, how they soon change"
Now they all pray
Blood stain wash away
He
said
"Lost
my way this bloody day
Lost
my way"
I
heard him
He
said
"Lost
my way this bloody day
Lost
my way"
All
things wash away
But
blood stained the sun red today
(Spoken)
Yeah, well, all the green things died when Ronnie
moved to this place
He said
"Don't you dare ask why I'm cursed to wear this
face"
Well now we all know why the children called
him "Ronnie frown"
When he pulled that gun from his pocket
And they all fall down, down, down
He
said
"Lost
my way this bloody day
Lost
my way"
Yeah,
yeah, I heard him
He
screamed
"Lost
my way this bloody day
Lost
my way"
All
things wash away
But
blood stained the sun red today
That's right
All things wash away
And they all fall down, down
But blood stained the sun today
Yeah, yeah
All things wash away
And they all fall down
But blood stained the sun today
