3: Master Of Puppets
(original version available on 'MASTER OF PUPPETS)
End of passion play, crumbling away
I'm your source of self-destruction
Veins that pump with fear, sucking darkest clear
Leading on your death's construction
Oh Oh Taste me you will see
more is all you need
you're dedicated to
how I'm killing you
Come crawling faster
obey your Master
your life burns faster
obey your Master
Master
Master of Puppets I'm pulling your strings
twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name, I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
Just call my name, I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
Hell yeah
Needlework the way, never you betray
life of death becoming clearer
Pain monopoly, ritual misery
chop your breakfast on a mirror
Taste me you will see
more is all you need
dedicated to
how I'm Fucking you
Come crawling faster
obey your Master
your life burns faster
obey your Master
Master
Master of Puppets I'm pulling your strings
twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name, I'll hear you scream
Master

Just call my name, I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
Master, Master, Where's thoses dreams that I've been after?
Master, Master, promised only lies
Laughter, Laughter, All I hear and see is laughter
Laughter, Laughter, laughing at my cries
Hell is worth all that, natural habitat
just a rhyme without a reason
Neverending maze, drift on numbered days
now your life is out of season
Taste me you will see
more is all you need
you're dedicated to
how I'm killing you
Come crawling faster
obey your Master
your life burns faster
obey your Master
Master
Master of Puppets I'm pulling your strings
twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name, I'll hear you scream

Off through the new day's mist I run

shape shift nose to the wind
shape shift feeling I've been
move swift all senses clean
earth's gift
back to the meaning back to the meaning of wolf and man

7: The Memory Remains
(original version available on 'RE-LOAD')
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
But the memory remains
Heavy rings on fingers wave
Another star denies the grave
See the nowhere crowd cry the nowhere tears of honor
Like twisted vines that grow
Hide and swallow mansions whole
And dim the light of an already faded prima donna
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
But the memory remains
Yeah
Heavy rings hold cigarettes
Up to lips that time forgets
While the Hollywood sun sets behind your back
And can't the band play on
Just listen, they play my song
Ash to ash
Dust to dust
Fade to black
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane (insane)
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
Dance little tin goddess
[Audence sings]
Nananananana nananada nananananana nanananadana
Nananananana nananada nananananana nanananadana
Drift away
Fade away
Little tin goddess
Ash to ash
Dust to dust
Fade to black
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
But the memory remains
Ash to ash
Dust to dust
Fade to black
The memories remain
Yeah
To this faded prima donna
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ah Suck it
[Audence Sings]
Nananananana nananada nanananana nanananadana
Nananananana nananada nanananana nanananadana
Rararararara rararara rarararara dararararara
Rararararara rararara rarararara dararararara
Rararararara rararara rarararara
8: No Leaf Clover
(Previously Unreleased)
and it feals right this time
on this crash course with the big time
pay no mind to the distant thunder
do they fill his head with wonder, boy
said it feals right this time
turned around and found new highlight
good day to be alive sir
good day to be alive he'd say
when it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel
was just a freight train comming your way
then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel
was just a freight train comming your way

9: Hero Of The Day
(original version available on 'LOAD')The window burns to light the way back home
A light that warms no matter where they go
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
Did you feel your name?
Did you hear your babies crying?
Mama they try and break me
Still they try and break me
Excuse me while I tell them how to feel
These things we turn to me that still seem real
Now deservingly this easy chair
But the rocking starts the wheels of this play
Don't want your hate
But the fist I make
For you still no fear
No not on me
So please excuse me while I tell them how I feel
But now the dreams end
And now the dreams end
They everlast the night
So build a wall
Behind it crawl
And hide until it's light
can't you hear your babies crying now?
Still the window burns
Time so slowly turns
And someone there is sighing
Keepers of the flames
Did you hear your name?
Did you hear your babies crying?
But now the dreams end
And now the dreams end
They everlast the night
So build a wall
Behind it crawl
And hide until it's light
can't you hear your babies crying now?
Oh they try and break me
Oh they try and break me
Oh they try and break me
Oh they try
Oh they try
Oh they try and break me
Oh they try and break me
Oh they try and break me
Oh they try
Oh they try

11: Bleeding Me
(original version available on 'LOAD')
I'm diggin' my way
Yes I'm diggin' my way to somethin'
I'm diggin' my way to somethin' better
I'm pushin' to stay
Yes I'm pushin' to stay with somethin'

12: Nothing Else Matters
(original version available on 'METALLICA')
So close no matter how far
couldn't be much more from the heart
forever trust in who we are
and nothing else matters
I 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 find in 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 much more from the heart
forever trust in who we are
and nothing else matters
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
and I know thats right
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 find in you
every day for us something new
open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters
never cared for what they say
never cared for games they play
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
and I know
13: Untill It Sleeps
(original version available on 'LOAD')
Where do I take this pain of mine
I run but it stays right by my side
So tear me open, pour me out
These things inside they scream and shout
And the pain still hates me
So hold me until it sleeps
Just like a curse, just like a stray
You feed it once but 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
So tell me why you've choosen me
Don't want your grip
Don't want your greed
I Don't want it
I'll Tear me open, make you gone
No more will you hurt anyone
And the pain 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...
Until it sleeps
I don't want it.....NO
So tear me open, but beware
Thre things inside without a care
And the dirt still stains me
So wash me til I'm clean
I'll Tear me open, I'll make you gone
No longer will you hurt anyone
And the pain still shakes me
So hold me until it sleeps
Until it sleeps
Until it sleeps
Until it sleeps
14: For Whom The Bell Tolls
(original version available on 'RIDE THE LIGHTING)
Make his fight on the hill in the early day
Constant chill deep inside
Shouting gun, on they run throught the endless grey
On they fight, for they sre right, yes, but who's to say?
For a hill, men would kill, why? They do not know
Suffered wounds test their pride
Men of five, still alivethrough the raging glow
Gone insane from the pain that they surely know
Chorus: For whom the bell tolls
Time marches on
[audence] For whom the bell tolls
Take a look to the sky just before you die
It is the last time he will
Blackened roar massive roar fills the crumbling sky
Shattered goal fills his soul with a ruthless cry
Stranger now, are his eyes, to this mystery
He hears the silence so loud
Crack of dawn, all is gone except the will to be
Now they see, what will be, blinded eyes to see
Chorus
15: - Human
(Previously Unreleased)
Dont you leave me for the time

Down my throat again

Come squease the world and drip it down my throat again
Down my throat again

commin up for
breathe man breathe
commin up for
air
you got to breathe man breathe
commin up for
breathe man breathe

16: Wherever I May Roam
(original version available on 'METALLICA')
...and the road becomes my bride
and the raod becomes my bride
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
to this 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
redefine anywhere
anywhere I roam
where I lay my head is home
...and the earth become my throne
and the earth become my throne
I adapt to the unknown
under wandering stars I've grown
by myself but not alone
...and my ties are severed clean baby
the less I have the more I gain
off the beaten path 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 do my time anywhere
anywhere I roam
where I lay my head is home
but i'll take my time anywhere
i'm free to speak my mind
and I'll do my find anywhere
anywhere I roam
where I lay my head is home
but i'll take my time anywhere
i'm free to speak my mind anywhere
i redifine 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
wherever I may roam
wherever I may roam
wherever I may roam
wherever I may wander
wherever I may roam
17: Outlaw Torn
(Original version available on 'LOAD')
and now i wait my whole lifetime, for you

19: One
(original version available on '...AND JUSTICE FOR ALL')
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 can not see
That there is 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 its 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 off shit off from me
Hold my breath as i wish for death
Oh please God,wake me
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
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 hair and,
Taken my arms
Taken my legs
Taken my soul
Left me with life in hell
20: Enter Sandman
(original version available on 'METALLICA')
Say your prayers little one
don't forget, my son
to include everyone
I fuck 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 (what is it)
enter night
take my hand
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 of things that will bite
sleep with one eye open
gripping your pillow tight
exit light (come on)
enter night
take my hand
off to never never land
(Put your hands together)
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
hush little baby, don't say a word
and never mind that noise you heard
it's just the beast under your bed,
in your closet, in your head
exit light (come on)
enter night
grain of sand
exit light
enter night
take my hand
we're off to never never land
21: Battery
(original version available on "MASTER OF PUPPETS')
Lashing out the action, returning the reaction
Weak are ripped and torn away
Hypnotizing power, crushing all that cower
Battery is here to stay
[chorus:]
Smashing through the boundries
lunacy has found me
cannot stop the Battery
Pounding out aggression
turns into obsession
cannot kill the Battery
Cannot kill the family
Battery is found in me
Battery
Battery
[End Chorus]
Crushing all deceivers, mashing non-believers
never ending potency
Hungry violence seeker, feeding off the weaker
Breeding on insanity
[Chorus]
(Are you alive?)
(How does it feal to be alive?)
(Show Me)
Circle of Destruction, Hammer comes crushing
Powerhouse of energy
Whipping up a fury, Dominating flurry
We create the Battery
[Chorus]
Battery
Battery
Lyrics thanx to: Ed Woosley
