Metallica '87: "Garage days re-visited"

Helpless
========

I gotta see you moving fast
See you come my way
See the dreams, I hope they last
Never fade away.

Gotta see the lights above
Make it loud tonight
Gotta set it all a-fire
Set it all a-light

See the flashing lights
Hear the thunder roar
I am gonna set you all a-light
Gotta make it man
I ain't got a choice
Gotta fill this hall tonight

Helpless
Helpless
Helpless
Helpless

I don't what I'm gonna do
Maybe not tonight
Gotta set you all a-fire
Gotta treat you right.

I can see the flashing lights
Lit before your love, ohh
Gotta hear the thunder roar
Coming from above.

See the flashing lights
Hear the thunder roar
I'm gonna set you all alight
Gotta make it man
I ain't got no choice
Gotta fill this hall tonight

Helpless
Helpless
Helpless
Helpless

I can see the stars
I can see what's going on

Every night alone
I sing my song just for fun.

Only time will tell
If I'll make it myself someday
This stage is mine
Music is my destiny.

Cannot squeeze the life from me!

I can see the lights
but I can see what's going on
Every night alone
I sing my song just for fun.

Business in collapse
Some men don't like it so
Helpless maybe babe,
but you can leave or join the show.

Cannot squeeze the life from me!

The Small Hours
===============

You're drawn at the darkness,
and you will see,
just call my name and I'll be there.

You cannot touch me,
you would not dare,
I am the chill that's in the air.

So I try to get through to you,
in my own special way,
as the barriers crumble,
at the end of the day.

Dark rivers are flowing,
back into the past,
You are the fish for which I cast.

And what of the future,
what is to be,
as the rivers flow into the sea.

So I try to get through to you,
in my own special way,
as the barriers crumble,
at the end of the day.
(solo)

Do not take for granted,
powers out there,
don't step into the demon's lair.

Time is an illusion,
rising from time,
steep is the mountain which we climb.

So I try to get through to you,
in my own special way,
as the barriers crumble,
at the end of the day.

The Wait
========

Motives changing
Day to day
The fire increases
Masks decay
I look at the river
White foam floats down
The body's poisoned
Got to sit tight

The wait
The wait
The wait
The wait

After awakening
The silence grows
The screams subside
Distortion shows
Mutant thoughts
Of bad mouthed news
Just another birth
Of distorted views

The wait
The wait
The wait
The wait

Crash Course in Brain Surgery
=============================

Look inside and you will see
The words are cutting deep inside my brain
Thunder burnin' quickly burning
Knife of words is driving me insane, insane yeah

Raven black is on my track
He shows me how to neutralize the knife
Show to me in surgery
The art of fighting words to conquer life, conquer life yeah

Now the wicked lance of fear
Is driven from my heady moutain brain
Crash course in brain surgery
Has stopped the bloody knife of words again yeah, yeah, yeah

Last Caress
===========

I've got somethin' to say
I killed your baby today and it
Doesn't matter much to me
As long as it's dead

I've got somethin' to say
I raped your mother today and it
Doesn't matter much to me
As long as she spread

Chorus:

These lovely dead
I'm waiting for your breath
'cause sweet Death wants Last Caress.

Repeat verse 1
Repeat chorus 2 times

One Last Caress today,
Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh (repeat)

Green Hell
==========

Here in this place lies the key to your death
Touch it, see it
Here in this place is the means to your end
Touch it, feel it
Green hell

You did your best as someone could
I bet you never knew you would
Did you run away from it?
I bet you thought you were really good

We're gonna burn in hell
Green Hell Green Hell
Like every hell but kind of green
Green Hell Green Hell
Try let me get back up there
Green Hell Green Hell
Feel it burning in your cereal
Green Hell Green Hell
Throw our fuckin' friends inside
Green Hell Green Hell
Gotta fuckin' pay and you must stay
Green Hell
Cannot forget about the best
Green Hell Green Hell
Hell is reigning in your blood
Green Hell Green Hell
Gotta burn it all
Green hell

You did your best as someone could
I bet you never knew you would
And did you run away from me
I bet you think they were really good

Here in this place lies the key to your death

Touch it, see it (Green Hell)
Here in this place sister won't let it in
Touch it, feel it
Green hell

You did your best as someone could
I bet you'd never knew you would
Attempt to run away from it?
I bet you thought you were really good
You've come to this as someone told
I bet you'd never knew you would
Gonna bring Green hell
Green hell

METALLICA : METALLICA

ENTER SANDMAn
(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

Hust till 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

SAD BUT TRUE
(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

HOLIER THAN YOU
(Hetfield/Ulrich)

No more!
the crap rolls out your mouth again
haven't changed, your brain is still gelatin
Little whispers circle around your head
why don't you worry about yourself instead

Who are you ? Where ya been ? Where ya from ?
gossip is burning on the tip of your tongue
You lie so much you believe yourself
judge not lest ye be judged yourself

Holier than thou
you are
Holier than thou
you are
You know not

Before you judge me take a look at you
can't you find something better to do
Point the finger, slow to understand
arrogance and ignorance go hand in hand

It's not who you are it's who you know
others lives are basis of your own
Burn your bridges build them back with wealth
judge not lest ye be judged yourself

Holier than thou
you are
Holier than thou
you are
you know not

THE UNFORGIVEN
(Hetfield/Ulrich/Hammett)

New blood joins this earth
and quickly he's subdued
Throught constant pained disgrace
the young boy learn their rules

With time child drawns in
this whipping boy done wrong
Deprived of all his thoughts
the young man struggles on and on he's known
A wow unto his own
that never from this day
His will they'll take away

What I've felt
What I've known
never shined throught in what I've shown
Never be
Never see
Won't see what might have been

What I've felt
What I've known
never shined throught in what I've shown
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee unforgiven

The dedicate their lives
to running all of his
He tries to please them all
this bitter man he is
Throughtout his life the same
he's battled constantly
This fight he cannot win
a tired man they see no longer cares
The old man they prepares
to die regretfully
the old man here is me

What I've felt
What I've known
never shined throught in what I've known
Never be
Never see
Won't see what might have been

What I've felt
What I've known
never shined throught in what I've known
Never free
Never me
So I dub the unforgiven

You labeled me
I'll label you
So I dub the unforgiven

WHEREVER I MAY ROAM
(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

DON'T TREAD ON ME
(Hetfield/Ulrich)

Libery or death, what we so proudly hail
Once you provoke her, rattling of her tail
Never begins it, never, but once engaged...
Never surrenders, showing the fangs of rage

Don't tread on me

So be it
threaten no more
to secure peace is to prepere for war
So be it
settle the score
touch me again for the words that you will hear evermore...

Don't tread on me

Love it or leave it, she with the deadly bite
Quick is the blue tongue, forked as the lightning strike
Shining with brightness, always on surveillance
The eyes, they never close, emblem of vigilance

Don't tread on me

So be it
threaten no more
to secure peace is to prepare for war
So be it
settle the score
touch me again for the words that you will hear evermore...

Don't tread on me

So be it
threaten no more
To secure peace is to prepare for war

Liberity or death, what we so proudly hail
Once you provoke her, rattling on her tail

So be it
threaten no more
to secure peace is to prepare for war
so be it
settle the score
touch me again for the words that you will hear evermore...

Don't tread on me

THROUGH THE NEVER
(Hetfield/Ulrich/Hammett)

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 criticize
obligation to survive
we hunger to be alive

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
came to be, how it begun
all alone in the family of the sun
curiosity teasing everyone
on our home, third stone from the sun

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 of the
edge of forever
we must go
on through the never
then never comes

All that is, ever
ever was
vill be ever
Who we are
ask forever
twisting
turning
through the never

Never

NOTHING ELSE MATTERS
(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

OF WOLF AND MAN
(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

THE GOD THAT FAILED
(Hetfield/Ulrich)

Pride you took
Pride you feel
Pride that you felt when you'd kneel

Not the word
Not the love
Not what you thought from above

It feeds
It grows
It clouds all that you will know
Deceit
Deceive
Decide just what you believe

I see faith in your eyes
never you her the discouraging lies
I hear faith in your cries
broken is the promice, betrayal
the healing hand held back by the deepened nail

Follow the god that failed

Find your peace
find your say
find the smooth road on your way

Trust you gave
a child to save
left you cold and him in grave

It feeds
It grows
It clouds all that you will know
Deceit
Deceive
Decide just what you believe

I see faith in your eyes
never you hear the discouraging lies
I hear faith in your eyes
broken is the promice, betrayal
the healing hand held back by the deepened nail

Follow the god that failed

I see faith in your eyes
Broken is the promice, betrayal
the healing hand held back by the deepened nail

Follow the god that failed

Pride you took
Pride you feel
Pride that you felt when you'd kneel

Trust you gave
a child to save
