Title
- (Hetfield / Ulrich)
- Outta my way
- Outta my day
- Out of your mind and into mine
- Into no one
- Into not one
- Into your step but out of time
- Headstrong
- What's wrong?
- I've already heard this song before
- You arrived, but now it's time to kiss your ass goodbye
- Dragging me down
- Why you around?
- So useless
- It ain't my fall
- It ain't my call
- It ain't my bitch
- It ain't my bitch
- Down on the sun
- Down and no fun
- Down and out, where the hell you been?
- Damn it all down
- Damn it unbound
- Damn it all down to hell again
- Stand tall
- Can't fall
- Never even bend at all before
- You arrived, but now it's time to kiss your ass goodbye
- Dragging me down
- Why you around?
- So useless
- It ain't my fall
- It ain't my call
- It ain't my bitch
- Outta my way
- Outta my way
- Outta my day
- Out of your mind and into mine
- Into no one
- Into not one
- Into your step but out of time
- Headstrong
- What's wrong?
- I've already heard this song before
- You arrived, but now it's time to kiss your ass goodbye
- And now it's time to kiss your ass goodbye
- Dragging me down
- While you around?
- So useless
- It ain't my fall
- It ain't my call
- It ain't my bitch
- No way but down
- Why you're around
- No fooling
- It ain't my smile
- It ain't my style
- It ain't my bitch
- Oh, it ain't mine
- Ain't mine
- Your kind
- You're stepping out of time
- Ain't mine
- Your kind
- You're stepping out of time
- Taking me down
- Why you around
- No fooling
- It ain't my fall
- It ain't my call
- It ain't my bitch
- You ain't mine
- I'm gonna make you, shake you, take you
- I'm gonna be the one who breaks you
- Put the screws to ya my way
- Yeah, come on come on, come, make my day
- Got some hell at pay, I steal your thunder
- The joy of violent movements pulls you under
- Bite the bullet well hard
- Yeah, but i die harder, so go too far
- *Friction, fusion
- Retribution
- I can't hear ya talk ta me
- I can't hear ya so talk ta me
- I can't hear ya are you talkin' ta me
- I can't hear ya are you talkin' ta me
- I can't hear ya time ta meet my lord

- I'm gonna make you, shake you, take you
- I'm gonna be the one who breaks you
- Put the screws to ya my way
- Yeah, come on come on, come, make and my day
- [*Repeat]
- *Opens door so i walk inside
- Close my eyes
- Find my place to hide
- And i shake as I take it in
- Let the show begin
- Open my eyes
- Just to have them close again
- Well on my way
- But on my way where I've been
- It swallows me
- As it takes me in it's fog
- I twist away
- As I give this world the nod
- [*Repeat]
- Open my eyes
- Just to have them close once again
- Don't want control
- As it takes me down and down and down again
- Is that the moon
- Or just the light that lights this dead end street?
- Is that you there?
- Or just another demon that i meet?
- **The higher you are
- The farther you fall
- The longer the walk
- The farther you crawl
- My body, my temple
- This temple it tilts
- Step into the house that Jack built
- [**Repeat]
- Open door so I walk inside
- Swallow me so the pain subsides
- And I shake as I take the sin
- Let the show begin
- [*Repeat x 2]
- Open my eyes
- It swallows me
- Is that you there?
- I twist away
- Away
- Away
- Away
- Where do I take this pain of mine
- I run, but it stays right my side
- So tear me open, pour me out
- There's things inside that scream and shout
- And the pain still hates me
- So hold me, until it sleeps
- Just like the curse, just like the stray
- You feed it once, and 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**
- So tell me why you've choosen me
- Don't want your grip, don't want your greed
- I'll tear me open, make you gone
- No more can you hurt anyone
- And the fear still shakes me
- So hold me, until it sleeps
- [*--** Repeat]
- I don't want it
- So tear me open, but beware
- The things inside without a care
- And the dirt still stains me
- So wash me, 'till I'm clean...
- I'll tear me open, make you gone
- No longer will you hurt anyone
- And the fear still shapes me
- So hold me, until it sleeps...
- Until it sleeps...
- Wish I may
- Wish i might
- Have this wish tonight
- Are you satisfied?
- Dig for gold
- Dig for fame
- You dig to make your name
- Are you pacified?
- All the wants you waste
- All the things you've chased
- *And it all crashes down
- And you break your crown
- And you point your finger
- But there's no one around
- **Just want one thing
- Just to play the king
- But the castle crumbled
- And you've left with just a name
- Where's your crown?
- King nothing***
- Hard and cold
- Bought and sold
- A heart as hard as gold
- Are you satisfied
- Wish I might
- Wish I may
- You wish your life away
- Are you pacified
- All the wants you waste
- All the things you've chased
- [*--*** Repeat]
- I wish I may
- I wish I might
- Have this wish I wish tonight
- I want the star
- i want it now
- I want it all and i don't care how
- Careful what you wish
- Careful what you say
- Careful what you wish
- You may regret it
- Careful what you wish
- You just might get it
- Then it all crashes down
- And you break your crown
- And you point your finger
- But there's no one around
- [*--*** Repeat]
- [** Repeat]
- Mama they try and break me
- The window burns to light the way back home
- A light that warms no matter where they've gone
- 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
- And someone there is sighing
- Keepers of the flames
- Do ya feel your name?
- Can't you hear your babies crying?
- Mama they try and break me
- Still they try and break me
- 'Scuze me while I tend to how I feel
- These things return to me that still seem real
- Now deservingly this easy chair
- But the rocking stopped by wheels of despair
- Don't want your aid
- But the first I've make
- For years can't hold or feel
- No, I'm not all me
- So please excuse me
- While I tend to how I feel
- *But now the dreams and waking screams
- That ever last the night
- So build the wall, behind the crawl
- And hide until it's light
- So can you hear your babies cryin' now?
- Still the window burns
- Time so slowly turns
- And someone there is sighing
- Keepers of the flames
- Do ya feel your name?
- Can't you hear your babies crying?
- [* Repeat]
- Mama they try and break me
- *I'm diggin' my way
- I'm diggin' my way to something
- I'm diggin' my way to somethin' better
- **I'm pushin' to stay
- I'm pushin' to stay with something
- I'm pushin' to stay with something better
- I'm sowing the seeds
- I'm sowing the seeds I've taken
- I'm sowing the seeds I take for granted
- This thorn in my side
- This thorn in my side is from the tree
- This thorn in my side is from the tree I've planted
- It tears me and I bleed
- ***Caught under wheels roll
- I take the leech I'm bleeding me
- Can't stop to save my soul
- I take the leash that's leading me
- I'm bleeding me I can't take it
- Caught under wheel's roll
- The bleeding of me
- [*** Repeat]
- I am the beast that feeds the beast
- I am the blood, I am the release
- Come make me pure
- Bleed me a cure
- I'm caught under
- [*** Repeat]
- [* Repeat]
- [** Repeat]
- The man takes another bullet
- He keeps them all within
- He must seek, no matter how it hurts
- So don't fool again
- He thinks the answer is cold and in his hand
- He takes his medicine
- The man take another bullet
- He's been fooled again
- *Uncross your arms and take
- And throw them to the cure, say...
- I do believe
- Uncross your arms now
- Take 'em to it, say...
- I do believe
- The lies tempt her and she follows
- Again she lets him in
- She must believe to fill the hollow
- She's been fooled again
- [* Repeat]
- Betting on the cure
- Cause it must get better than this
- Betting on the cure

- Yeah, it must be better than this
- Need to feel secure
- Yeah, it's gonna better than this
- It must be better than this

- Swallow whole the pain
- Oh it's too good to be
- That all this misery
- Is just for oh poor twisted me
- Poor mistreated me
- Poor mistreated me
- I drown without a sea
- Lung fills with sorrow, lungs fill with misery
- Inhaling the deep dark blue
- Oh woah is me
- Such a burden to be
- The poor mistreated me
- To finally reach the shore
- Survive the storm
- Now you're bare and cold
- The sea was warm
- So warm, you bathe your soul again
- Good to feel my friend
- Oh woah is me
- Such a burden to be
- Oh poor twisted me
- *Good day, how do
- And I send a smile to you
- Don't waste, waste your breath
- And I won't waste my hate on you
- Ain't gonna waste my hate

- Ain't gonna give no more
- Ain't got the time to help you score
- I think it's time ya pleased yourself
- [* Repeat]
- Think you're worthy now
- Think enough to even raise the brow
- And to laugh and tip that two pronged crown
- I see my hands, I see my feet
- I feel that blood that pumps in beat
- But where the hell's my mind goin' now?
- [* Repeat]
- Ain't gonna waste mt hate
- But I'm so greedy when they say
- (It's) better to give than to receive
- Ain't gonna waste my hate
- No, no ain't got time to waste my hate on you
- Yea, I think I'm gonna keep it all for myself
- [* Repeat]
- Hate
- Mama she has taught me well
- Told me when I was young
- Son, your life's an open book
- Don't close it fore it's done
- The brigtest flame burns quickest
- Is what I heard they say
- A son's heart's owned to mother
- But I must find my way
- *Let my heart go
- Let your son grow
- Mama let your heart go
- Or let this heart be still
- Rebel my new last name
- Wild blood in my veins
- Apron strings around my neck
- The mark that still remains
- Left home at an early age
- Of what I heard was wrong
- I never asked forgiveness
- But what I said is done
- [* Repeat]
- **Never I ask you
- But never I gave
- But you gave me your emptiness
- I now take to my grave
- Never I ask of you
- But never I gave
- But you gave me your emptiness
- I now take to my grave
- So let this heart be still
- Mama now I'm coming home
- I'm not all you wished of me
- But a mother's love for her son
- Unspoken, Help me be
- I took your love for granted
- And all the things you said to me
- I need your arms to welcome me
- But a cold stone's all I see
- [* Repeat]
- Let my heart go
- Mama let me heart go
- You never let me heart go
- So let this heart be still
- [** Repeat]
- Forgive me father
- For I have sinned
- Find me guilty of the life I feel within
- And 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, 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 me
- One and the same are we
- [* Repeat]
- 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
- [* Repeat]
- Story starts, quiet town
- Small town boy, big time frown
- Never talks, never plays
- Different path, lost his way
- Dead streets are red, red I'm afraid
- No confetti, no parade
- Nothing happens in this boring place
- But oh my god, how that all did change
- Now they all pray
- Blood stains wash away
- He said "lost my way"
- This bloody day
- Lost my way
- I heard him, he said "lost my way"
- This bloody day
- Lost my way
- All things wash away
- But blood stained the sun red today
- I always said, somethin' wrong
- With little strange Ronnie Long
- Never laughed, never smiled
- Talked alone, for miles and miles and miles
- Gallow calls, son I say
- Keep your smile, and laugh all day
- Think once again, in this boring place
- For little boys, how they soon change
- Now they all pray
- Blood stains wash away
- He said "lost my way"
- This bloody day
- Lost my way
- Yeah, I heard him, he said "lost my way"
- This bloody day
- Lost my way
- All things wash away
- But blood stained the sun red today
- Yeah, well all the green things died
- When Ronnie moved to this place
- He said, "Don't you dare ask why
- I'm cursed to wear this face"
- Now we all know why children called him
- Ronnie Frown
- When he pulled that gun from his pocket
- And they'd all fall down down down
- He said "lost my way"
- This bloody day
- Lost my way
- Yeah, I heard him, he screamed "lost my way"
- This bloody day
- Lost my way
- All things wash away
- But blood stained the sun red today
- And now I wait my whole lifetime
- For you
- And now I wait my whole lifetime
- For you
- I ride the dirt, I ride the tide
- For you
- I search the outside, search inside
- For you
- To take back what you left me
- I know I'll always burn to be
- The one who seeks so I may find
- And now I wait my whole lifetime
- My outlaw torn
- My outlaw torn
- And I'm torn
- So on I wait my whole lifetime
- For you
- So on I wait my whole lifetime
- For you
- The more I search, the more my need
- For you
- The more I bless, the more I bleed
- For you
- You make me smash the clock and feel
- I'd rather die behind the wheel
- Time was never on my side
- So on I wait my whole lifetime
- My outlaw torn
- My outlaw torn
- My outlaw torn
- And I'm torn
- Hear me
- And if close my mind in fear
- Please pry it open
- See me
- And if my face becomes sincere
- Beware
- Hold me
- And when I start to come undone
- Stitch me together
- Save me
- And when you see me strut
- Remind me of what left this outlaw torn
