Well, here it is...lyrics to 'tallica's long-awaited fourth album. They
|
||
|
|
definitely haven't sold out to become more 'accessible', as this is probably
|
||
|
|
their darkest and most grim album yet.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that "To Live is to Die" is sort of a tribute to the late Cliff
|
||
|
|
Burton, as the lyrics are by him and are chillingly fitting.

--BLACKENED (6:40)
|
||
|
|
(Hetfield, Ulrich, Newsted)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Blackened is the end
|
||
|
|
Winter it will send
|
||
|
|
Throwing all you see
|
||
|
|
Into obscurity
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Death of mother earth
|
||
|
|
Never a rebirth
|
||
|
|
Evolution's End
|
||
|
|
Never will it mend
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Never
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Fire
|
||
|
|
To begin whipping dance of the dead
|
||
|
|
Blackened is the end
|
||
|
|
To begin whipping dance of the dead
|
||
|
|
Color our world blackened
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Blistering of earth
|
||
|
|
Terminate its worth
|
||
|
|
Deadly nicotine
|
||
|
|
Kills what might have been
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Callous frigid chill
|
||
|
|
Nothing left to kill
|
||
|
|
Never seen before
|
||
|
|
Breathing nevermore
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Never
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Fire
|
||
|
|
To begin whipping dance of the dead
|
||
|
|
Blackened is the end
|

|
|
To begin whipping dance of the dead
|
||
|
|
Color our world blackened
|

Blackened.

Blistered earth

True death of life

Termination... Expiration... Cancellation... Human race

See our mother
|

Put to death
|

|
See our mother die
|

|
|
|

|
|
Smoldering decay
|

|
|
Take her breath away
|
||
|
|
Millions of our years
|
||
|
|
In minutes disappears
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Darkening in vain
|
||
|
|
Decadence remains
|

|
|
All is said and done
|

Never is the sun
|

|
|
Never

Fire

|
Blackened is the end
|
||
|
|
To begin whipping dance of the dead
|
||
|
|
Fire
|
||
|
|
Is the outcome of hypocrisy
|
||
|
|
Darkest potency
|
||
|
|
In the exit of humanity
|
||
|
|
Color our world blackened
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Blackened.

--...AND JUSTICE FOR ALL (9:44)
|
||
|
|
(Hetfield, Ulrich, Hammett)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Halls of justice painted green
|
||
|
|
Money talking
|
||
|
|
Power wolves beset your door
|
||
|
|
Hear them stalking
|
||
|
|
Soon you'll please their appetite
|
||
|
|
They devour
|
||
|
|
Hammer of justice crushes you
|
||
|
|
Overpower
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
--CHORUS--
|
||
|
|
The ultimate in vanity
|
||
|
|
Exploiting their supremacy
|
||
|
|
I can't believe the things you say
|
||
|
|
I can't believe
|
||
|
|
I can't believe the price you pay
|
||
|
|
Nothing can save you
|
||
|
|
Justice is lost
|
||
|
|
Justice is raped
|
||
|
|
Justice is gone
|
||
|
|
Pulling your strings
|
||
|
|
Justice is done
|
||
|
|
Seeing no truth
|
||
|
|
Winning is all
|
||
|
|
Find it so grim
|
||
|
|
so true
|
||
|
|
so real
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Apathy their stepping stone
|
||
|
|
So unfeeling
|
||
|
|
Hidden deep animosity
|
||
|
|
So deceiving
|
||
|
|
Through your eyes their light burns
|
||
|
|
Hoping to find
|
||
|
|
Inquisition sinking you
|
||
|
|
With prying minds
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
--CHORUS--
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Lady justice has been raped
|
||
|
|
Truth assassin
|
||
|
|
Rolls of red tape seal your lips
|
||
|
|
Now you're done in
|
||
|
|
Their money tips her scales again
|
||
|
|
Make your deal
|
||
|
|
Just what is truth? I cannot tell
|
||
|
|
Cannot feel
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

--EYE OF THE BEHOLDER (6:25)
|
||
|
|
(Hetfield, Ulrich, Hammett)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Do you see what I see?
|
||
|
|
Truth is an offense
|
||
|
|
You silence for your confidence
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Do you hear what I hear?
|
||
|
|
Doors are slamming shut
|
||
|
|
Limit your imagination, keep you where they must
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Do you feel what I feel?
|
||
|
|
Bittering distress
|
||
|
|
Who decides what you express?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Do you take what I take?
|
||
|
|
Endurance is the word
|
||
|
|
Moving back instead of forward seems to me absurd
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
--CHORUS--
|
||
|
|
Doesn't matter what you see
|
||
|
|
Or into it what you read
|
||
|
|
You can do it your own way
|
||
|
|
If it's done just how I say
|
||
|
|
Independence limited
|
||
|
|
Freedom of choice
|
||
|
|
Choice is made for you my friend
|
||
|
|
Freedom of speech
|
||
|
|
Speech is words that they will bend
|
||
|
|
Freedom with their exception
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Do you fear what I fear?
|
||
|
|
Living properly
|
||
|
|
Truths to you are lies to me
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Do you choose what I choose?
|
||
|
|
More alternatives
|
||
|
|
Energy derives from both the plus and negative
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Do you need what I need?
|
||
|
|
Boundaries overthrown
|
||
|
|
Look inside, to each his own
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Do you trust what I trust?
|
||
|
|
Me, myself, and I
|
||
|
|
Penetrate the smoke screen, I see through the selfish lie
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
--CHORUS--
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Do you know what I know?
|
||
|
|
Your money and your wealth
|
||
|
|
You silence just to hear yourself
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Do you want what I want?
|
||
|
|
Desire not a thing
|
||
|
|
I hunger after independence, lengthen freedom's ring
|
||
|

--ONE (7:24)
|

|
|
(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 me 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
|
||
|
|
|

Never hunger
|
||
|
|
Never prosper
|
||
|
|
I have fallen prey to failure
|
||
|
|
Struggle within
|
||
|
|
Triggered again
|
||
|
|
Now the candle burns at both ends
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Twisting under schizophrenia
|
||
|
|
Falling deep into dementia
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
--CHORUS--
|
||
|
|
Old habits reappear
|
||
|
|
Fighting the fear of fear
|
||
|
|
Growing conspiracy
|
||
|
|
Everyone's after me
|
||
|
|
Frayed ends of sanity
|
||
|
|
Hear them calling
|
||
|
|
Hear them calling me
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Birth of terror
|
||
|
|
Death of much more
|
||
|
|
I'm the slave of fear, my captor
|
||
|
|
Never warnings
|
||
|
|
Spreading its wings
|
||
|
|
As I wait for the horror she brings
|
||
|
|
Loss of interest, question, wonder
|
||
|
|
Waves of fear they pull me under
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
--CHORUS--
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Into ruin
|
||
|
|
I am sinking
|
||
|
|
Hostage of this nameless feeling
|
||
|
|
Hell is set free
|
||
|
|
Flooded I'll be
|
||
|
|
Feel the undertow inside me
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Height, Hell, time, haste, terror, tension
|
||
|
|
Life, death, want, waste, mass depression
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
--CHORUS--

--TO LIVE IS TO DIE (9:48)
|
||
|
|
(Hetfield, Ulrich, Burton)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

--DYERS EVE (5:12)
|

|
|
(Hetfield, Ulrich, Hammett)
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
Dear Mother
|
||
|
|
Dear Father
|
||
|
|
What is this Hell you have put me through
|
||
|
|
Believer
|
||
|
|
Deceiver
|
||
|
|
Day in day out live my life through you
|
||
|
|
Pushed onto me what's wrong or right
|
||
|
|
Hidden from this thing that they call life
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Dear Mother
|
||
|
|
Dear Father
|
||
|
|
Every thought I'd think you'd disapprove
|
||
|
|
Curator
|
||
|
|
Dictator
|
||
|
|
Always censoring my every move
|
||
|
|
Children are seen but are not heard
|
||
|
|
Tear out everything inspired
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Innocence
|
||
|
|
Torn from me without your shelter
|
||
|
|
Barred reality
|
||
|
|
I'm living blindly
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Dear Mother
|
||
|
|
Dear Father
|
||
|
|
Time has frozen still what's left to be
|
||
|
|
Hear nothing
|
||
|
|
Say nothing
|
||
|
|
Cannot face the fact I think for me
|
||
|
|
No guarantee, it's life as is
|
||
|
|
But damn you for not giving me my chance
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Dear mother
|
||
|
|
Dear father
|
||
|
|
You've clipped my wings before I learned to fly
|
||
|
|
Unspoiled
|
||
|
|
Unspoken
|
||
|
|
I've outgrown that fucking lullaby
|
||
|
|
Same thing I've always heard from you
|
||
|
|
Do as I say, not as I do
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Innocence
|
||
|
|
Torn from me without your shelter
|
||
|
|
Barred reality
|
||
|
|
I'm living blindly
|
||
|
|
I'm in Hell without you
|
||
|
|
Cannot cope without you two
|
||
|
|
Shocked at the world that I see
|
||
|
|
Innocent victim, please rescue me
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Dear mother
|
||
|
|
Dear father
|
||
|
|
Hidden in your world you've made for me
|
||
|
|
I'm seething
|
||
|
|
I'm bleeding
|
||
|
|
Ripping wounds in me that never heal
|
||
|
|
Undying spite I feel for you
|
||
|
|
Living out this Hell you always knew
|
||
|
|
