The Metallica Experience - lyrics

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

Thorn Within

Forgive me, father
For I have sinned
Find me guilty
Of the life I feel within

When I'm branded
This mark of shame
Should I look down, disgraced
Or straight ahead
And know that you must blame

I am the secret
I am the sin
I am the guilty
And I am
I am the thorn within

Forgive me father
For I have sinned
Find me guilty
When true guilt is from within

So point your fingers
Point right at me
For I am shadows
And will follow you
One and the same are we

I am the secret
I am the sin
I am the guilty
And I am
I am the thorn within

I do your time
I take your fall
I'm branded guilty
For us all

So point your fingers
Point right at me
For I am shadows
And will follow you
One and the same are we

I am your secret
I am your sin
I am your guilty
And I am
I am the thorn within
I am the thorn within
I am the thorn within
I am the thorn within
I am the thorn within
I am the thorn within

Through The Never

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 critisize
Obligation to survive
We hunger to be alive
Yeah

Twisting
Turning
Through the never

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
Come to be, how it begun

All alone in the family of the sun
Curiosity teasing everyone
On our home, third stone from the sun
Yeah

Twisting
Turning
Through the never

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 to the edge
Edge of forever
We must go
On through the never
Then never comes

Twisting
Turning
Through the never

All that is, ever
Ever was
Will be ever
Twisting
Turning
Who we are
Ask forever
Twisting
Turning
Through the never

Never

To Live Is To Die

When a man lies, he murders some part of the world
These are the pale deaths which men miscall their lives
All this I cannot bear to witness any longer
Cannot the kingdom of salvation take me home?

Too Late Too Late

I see that nothin's changed
Insist on playing games
Some waste of time you are
And you're so popular
Well this is it you bitch
Got to make my switch
Just another John
I know what's goin' on

Your move
What do I have to lose?
Stalemate
No-oh, too late, too late

I thought you was for real
But you're a rip-off deal
You give me all that crap
I just escaped your trap
I think you see your joke
But you're just chasin' smoke
To me you're another one
I know what's goin' on

Your move
What do I have to lose?
Stalemate
Hello, too late, too late

Oh

Get on it

Misunderstanding me
The way you feel so free
I'm gonna jump the gun
Oh I'm gonna hit an' run
Your credibility
Don't cut no ice with me
And now the thrill is gone
I know what's goin' on

Your move
What do I have to lose?
Stalemate
Oh oh, too late, too late
Oh, too late, too late

Trapped Under Ice

I don't know how to live through this hell
Woken up, I'm still locked in this shell
Frozen soul, frozen down to the core
Break the ice, I can't take anymore

Freezing (freezing)
Can't move at all
Screaming (screaming)
Can't hear my call
I am dying to live
Cry out
I'm trapped under ice

Crystalized, as I lay here and rest
Eyes of glass stare directly at death
From deep sleep I have broken away
No one knows, no one hears what I say

Freezing (freezing)
Can't move at all
Screaming (screaming)
Can't hear my call
I am dying to live
Cry out
I'm trapped under ice

Scream from my soul
Fate
Mystified
Hell forever more

Scream from my soul
Fate
Mystified
Hell forever more

No release from my cryonic state
What is this? I've been stricken by fate
Wrapped up tight, cannot move, can't break free
Hand of doom has a tight grip on me

Freezing (freezing)
Can't move at all
Screaming (screaming)
Can't hear my call
I am dying to live
Cry out
I'm trapped under ice

Freezing (freezing)
Can't move at all
Screaming (screaming)
Can't hear my call
I am dying to live
Cry out
I'm trapped under ice

Tuesday's Gone

Yeah

Train roll on, on down the line
Won't you please take me far, far away?
Yeah
Now I feel the wind blow outside my door
Lord, I'm, I'm leaving my woman at home

My baby's gone (oh, yeah)
Tuesday's gone with the wind, yeah
My baby's gone, gone with the wind
Long gone

And I don't know where I'm going
I just want to be left alone
Yeah (oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
When this train ends, well, I'll try again, oh no
I'm leaving my woman at home (oh)

My baby's gone (oh, yeah, yeah)
Tuesday's gone with the wind
Oh, yeah
Tuesday's gone, long gone with the wind
Yeah, yeah
Tuesday's gone, gone with the wind
Yeah
My baby's gone with the wind
Train roll on
John Popper

Yeah

Tuesday's gone with the wind
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Tuesday's gone with the wind
Tuesday's gone, long gone with the wind
Yeah, yeah, yeah
My baby's gone with the wind
Train roll on

Train roll on, many miles from my home
See, I'm riding my blues, babe, blues away
Yeah
Well, Tuesday, you see, oh, she had to be free, oh
But somehow, I've got to, to carry on

My baby's gone
Tuesday's gone with the wind
Tuesday's gone, long gone with the wind
Tuesday's gone
Tuesday's gone with the wind
My baby's gone with the wind
Train roll on
Train roll on
Right on
Yeah
Ride on train
Ride on train
Ride on train
Train roll on
Train roll on

Train roll on
Train here rolls on
Train rolls on
Train rolls on
Lord, I can't change

Lord, I can't change
Train roll on
Ride on train
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I can't change
Train roll on
Ride on train
Lord, I can't change
Oh, no
No, I can't change
Ride on train

Turn The Page

On a long and lonesome highway, east of Omaha
You can listen to the engine, moanin' out his one-note song
You can think about the woman, or the girl you knew the night before

But your thoughts will soon be wandering, the way they always do
When you're ridin' sixteen hours, there's nothin' much to do
And you don't feel much like ridin', you just wish the trip was through

Here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Playin' star again
There I go
Turn the page

As we walk into this restaurant, all strung out from the road
And you feel the eyes upon you as you're shakin' off the cold
You pretend it doesn't bother you, but you just want to explode

Yeah, most times you can't hear 'em talk, other times you can
All the same old clich�s, "Is it woman, is it man?"
And you always seem outnumbered, you don't dare make a stand
Make your stand, oh

Here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
I'm playin' star again
There I go
Turn the page

Woh, oh
Out there in the spotlight, you're a million miles away
Every ounce of energy you try and give away
As the sweat pours out your body, like the music that you play

Later in the evening, as you lie awake in bed
With the echoes of the amplifiers ringin' in your head
You smoke the day's last cigarette, rememberin' what she said
What she said

Oh, yeah

Yeah
Here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Playin' star again
Yeah, there I go
Turn the page
Yeah, there I go
Turn that page
There I go, yeah, yeah
There I go, yeah, yeah

There I go, yeah
Here I go, yeah
There I go, woh, woh
There I go

I'm gone
