1. Blackened

(Hetfield, Ulrich, Newsted)

 

Blackened is the end
Winter it will send
Throwing all you see
Into obscurity

Death of mothee 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

Opposition   Contradiction   Premonition   Compromise
Agitation    Violation       Mutilation     Planet Dies
     Darkest color
     Blistered earth
     True death of life

Termination   Expiration   Cancellation   Human Race
Expectation   Liberation   Population     Lay to Waste
     See our mother
     Put to death
     See our mother die

Smouldering 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
     To begin whipping dance of the dead
     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

2. ... And Justice For All

(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

     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
             Seeking 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

     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
             Seeking no truth
             Winning is all
             Find it So Grim
                     So True
                     So Real

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

     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 we pay
     Nothing can save us

         Justice is lost
         Justice is raped
         Justice is gone
             Pulling your strings
         Justice is done
             Seeking no truth
             Winning is all
             Find it So Grim
                     So True
                     So Real

             Seeking no truth
             Winning is all
             Find it So Grim
                     So True
                     So Real

3. Eye Of The Beholder

(Hetfield, Ulrich, Hammett)

 

Do you see what I see?
Truth is an offence
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

     Doesn't matter what you see?
     Or into it what you read
     You can do i 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

     Doesn't matter what you see?
     Or into it what you read
     You can do i 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 know what I know?
Your money end your wealth
Your silence just to hear yourself

Do you want what I want?
Desire not a thing
I hunger after independence, Lengthen freedom's ring

     Doesn't matter what you see?
     Or into it what you read
     You can do i 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 no longer frees you

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

4. One

(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 my 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

5. Shortest Straw

(Hetfield, Ulrich)

 

Suspicion is your name
Your honesty to blame
Put dignity to shame
Dishonor
Witchhunt, Modern day
Determining decay
The blatant disarray
Disfigure
The public eyes' disgrace
Defying common place
Unending paper chase
Unending

Deafening
Painstaking
Reckoning
This vertigo it doth bring

     Shortest straw
     Challenge liberty
     Downed by law
     Live in infamy
     Rub you raw
     Witchhunt riding through
     Shortest straw
     This shortest straw has been pulled for you

     Pulled for you
         Shortest straw
     Pulled for you
         Shortest straw
     Pulled for you
         Shortest straw
     Shortest straw has been pulled for you

The Accusations fly
Discrimination, Why?
Your inner self to die
Intruding
Doubt sunk itself in you
It's teeth and talons through
Your living catch-22
Deluding

A mass hysteria
A megalomania
Reveal dementia
Reveal

Secretly
Silently
Certainly
In vertigo you will be

     Shortest straw
     Challenge liberty
     Downed by law
     Live in infamy
     Rub you raw
     Witchhunt riding through
     Shortest straw
     This shortest straw has been pulled for you

     Pulled for you
         Shortest straw
     Pulled for you
         Shortest straw
     Pulled for you
         Shortest straw
     Shortest straw has been pulled for you

         Shortest straw
     Pulled for you
         Shortest straw
     Pulled for you
         Shortest straw
     Pulled for you
         Shortest straw
     Shortest straw has been pulled for you

Behind you, hands are tied
Your being, Ostracized
Your hell is multiplied
Upending
The fallaout has begun
Oppresive damage done
Your many turned to none
To nothing
You're reaching your nadir
Your will has disappeared
The lie is crystal clear
Defending

Channels red
One word said
Blaclisted
With vertigo make you dead

     Shortest straw
     Challenge liberty
     Downed by law
     Live in infamy
     Rub you raw
     Witchhunt riding through
     Shortest straw
     This shortest straw has been pulled for you
                                  pulled for you

6. Harvester Of Sorrow

(Hetfield, Ulrich)

 

My life suffocates
Planting seeds of hate
I've loved, Turned to hate
Trapped far beyond my fate

I give
You take
This life that I forsake
Been cheated of my youth
You turned this lie to truth

     Anger
     Misery
     You'll suffer unto me

         Harvester of sorrow
         Language of the mad
         Harvester of sorrow

Pure black looking clear
My work is done soon here
Try getting back to me
Get back which used to be

Drink up
Shoot in
Let the beatings begin
Distributor of pain
Your loss becomes my gain

     Anger
     Misery
     You'll suffer unto me

         Harvester of sorrow
         Language of the mad
         Harvester of sorrow

All have said their prayers
Invade their nightmares
To see into my eyes
You'll find where murder lies

Infanticide

     Harvester of sorrow
     Language of the mad
     Harvester of sorrow
     Language of the mad
     Harvester of sorrow

7. The Frayed Ends Of Sanity

(Hetfield, Ulrich, Hammett)

 

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

     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 tear they pull me under

     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

Into run
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

     Old habits reappear
     Fighting the fear of fear
     Growing conspiracy
     Myself is after me
     Frayed ends of sanity
     Hear them calling
     Hear them calling me

8. To Live Is To Die

(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

9. Dyers Eve

(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 cencoring 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 f**king 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
