--------------
Ain't My Bitch
--------------
(Hetfield/Ulrich)
Out of my way
Out of my day
Out of your mind and into mine
Into no more
Into not born
Into your step but out of time
It's strong
What's wrong?
I've already heard this song before
You're right but now it's time to kiss your ass goodbye
Dragging me down
While you were round
So useless
It ain't my fault
It ain't my call
It ain't my bitch
It ain't my bitch
Down on the sun
Down on your fun
Down and out where the hell you've been
Damn it all down
Damn it on bound
Damn it all down ta hell again
Stand tall
They fall
Never even meant it all before
You're right but now it's time to kiss your ass goodbye
Dragging me down
While you were round
So useless
It ain't my fault
It ain't my call
It ain't my bitch
Out of my way
Out of my way
Out of my day
Out of your mind and into mine
Into no more
Into not born
Into your step but out of time
It's strong
What's wrong?
I've already heard this song before
You're right 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 were round
So useless
It ain't my fault
It ain't my call
It ain't my bitch
No way but down
While you were round
No foolin'
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
Your stepin' out of time
Ain't mine
Your kind
Your stepin' out of time
Dragging me down
While you were round
No foolin'
It ain't my fault
It ain't my call
It ain't my ooh bitch
You ain't mine

The House Jack Built
--------------------
(Hetfield/Ulrich/Hammett)
Open 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
On my way to where I graze
It swallows me
As it takes me in it's hold
I twist away
As I give this world a nod
Open 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 once again
Don't want control
As it takes me down and down and down again
Is that the moon
Or just a light that lights this dead end street?
Is that you there
Or just another demon that I meet?
The higher you walk
The farther you fall
The longer the walk
The farther you crawl
My body my temple
This temple it tells
"Step into the house that Jack built"
The higher you walk
The farther you fall
The longer the walk
The farther you crawl
My body my temple
This temple it tells
"Yes this is the house that Jack built"
Open door as I walk inside
Swallow me so the pain subsides
And I shake as I take this in
Let the show begin
Let the show begin
Let the show begin
The higher you walk
The farther you fall
The longer the walk
The farther you crawl
My body my temple
This temple it tells
"Yes this is the house that Jack built"
The higher you walk
The farther you fall
The longer the walk
The farther you crawl
My body my temple
This temple it tells
"Yes I am I am I am"
Open my eyes
It swallows me
Is that you there
I twist away
Away
Away
Away

Until it Sleeps
---------------
(Hetfield/Ulrich)
Where do I take this pain of mine
I run but it stays right by 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 a curse, just like a stray
You feed it once and now it stays
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
So tell me why you've chosen me
Don't want your grip
Don't want your greed
Don't want it
Now tear me open make you gone
No more can you hurt anyone
And the fear 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
Until it sleeps
Until it sleeps
Until it sleeps
Don't want it
I don't want it, want it, want it, want it, want it, no
So tear me open but beware
There's things inside without a care
And the dirt still stains me
So wash me till clean
Now tear me open make you gone
No longer will you hurt anyone
And the hate still shapes me
So hold me until it sleeps
Until it sleeps
Until it sleeps
Until it sleeps
Until is sleeps

King Nothing
------------
(Hetfield/Ulrich/Hammett)
Wish I may
Wish I might
Have this I 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
Then 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's crumbled and you're left with just a name
Where's your crown, King Nothing?
Where's your crown?
Hot and cold
Bought and sold
A heart as hard as gold
Yeah, 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
Then 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's crumbled and you're left with just a name
Where's your crown, King Nothing?
Where's your crown?
Huh!
I wish I may, I wish I might
Have this wish, I wish tonight
I want that star, I want it now
I want it all and I don't care how
Care for what you wish
Care for what you say
Care for what you wish you may regret it
Care for 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
Just want one thing
Just to play the King
But the castle's crumbled and you're left with just a name
Where's your crown, King Nothing?
Nothin'
Oh, you're just nothing
Where's your crown King Nothing?
Oh, you're just nothing
Absolutely nothing
Off to never, never land

Hero of the Day
---------------
(Hetfield/Ulrich/Hammett)
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
And someone there is sighing
Keepers of the flames
Do 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 I feel
These things we turn to me that still seem real
Now deservingly this easy chair
But the rocking starts my wheels of dispair
Don't want your hate
But the fist I make
For you still hold no fear
No not on me
So please excuse me while I tend to how I feel
But now the dreams end
And now the dreams end
They ever last the night
So build a wall
Behind it crawl
And hide until it's light
So can 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 ever last the night
So build a wall
Behind it crawl
And hide until it's light
So can't you hear your babies crying now?
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try
Mama they try
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try
Mama they try

Mama Said
---------
(Hetfield/Ulrich)
1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2
Mama, she has taught me well
Told me when I was young
"Son, your life's an open book
Don't close it 'fore its done"
"The brightest flame burns quickest"
That's what I heard her say
A son's heart sowed to mother
But I must find my way
Let my heart go
Let your son grow
Mama, let my heart go
Mama, let this heart be still
Yeah, still
Rebel, mind your last name
Wild blood in my veins
They bring 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 is said is done
Let my heart go
Let your son grow
Mama, let my heart go
Mama, let this heart be still
Never I ask of you
But never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness that I'll take to my grave
Never I ask of you
But never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness that I'll take to my grave
So let this heart be still
Mama, now I'm coming home
I'm not all you wished of me
A mother's love for her son
Spoken, help me be
I took your love for granted
Not a thing you said to me
I needed your arms to welcome me
But, a cold stone's all I see
Let my heart go
Let your son grow
Mama, let my heart go
So let this heart be still
Let my heart go
Mama, let my heart go
Ya never let my heart go
So let this heart be still, oh
Never I ask of you
But never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness that I'll take to my grave
Never I ask of you
But never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness that I'll take to my grave
Let this heart be still

Thorn Within
------------
(Hetfield/Ulrich/Hammett)
Forgive me father
For I have sinned
Find me guilty of the life I feel within
When I'm branded
Should I look down disgraced
Or straight ahead and know that you must bleed
I am, I am the secret
I am, I am the sin
I am, I am the guilty
And I, I am the thorn within
Forgive me father
For I have sinned
Find me guilty with true guilt that's from within
So point your fingers
Point right at me
For I am shadows and will follow you whatever see my way
I am, I am the secret
I am, I am the sin
I am, I am the guilty
And I, I am the thorn within
I do your time
I take your fall
I'm branded guilty for a soul
So point your fingers
Point right at me
For I am shadows and will follow you whatever see my way
I am, I am your secrets
I am, I am your sin
I am, I am your guilty
And I, I am the thorn within
I am the thorn within
I am the thorn within
I am the thorn within

Ronnie
------
(Hetfield/Ulrich)
Stories taught
Quiet town
Small time for big time crowd
Never talks
Never plays
Different path
Lost his way
The streets are red
Red I'm afraid
There's no confetti
No parade
Nothing happens in this boring place
But oh my god how it all dismays
And they all pray
Blood stain wash away
He said
"Lost my way
This bloody day
Lost my way"
I heard it
He said
"Lost my way
This bloody day
Lost my way"
Oh please wash away
But blood stains the sun red today
I always said
Something wrong
Little strange
All day long
Never laughed
Never smiled
Talked alone for miles and miles and miles
Yellow comes
Sun I say
Keep your smile and laugh all day
He falls again in this foreign place
For little boys how they do chase
And they all pray
Blood stain wash away
He said
"Lost my way
This bloody day
Lost my way"
I heard it
He said
"Lost my way
This bloody day
Lost my way"
Oh please wash away
But blood stains the sun red today, yeah
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 the children called him Ronnie frown
When he pulled that gun from his pocket
They all fall down, down, down
He said
"Lost my way
This bloody day
Lost my way," yeah, yeah
I heard it
He screamed
"Lost my way
This bloody day
Lost my way"
Oh please wash away
But blood stains the sun red today
All things wash away
They all fall down
But blood stains the sun today, yeah, yeah
All things wash away
They all fall down
But blood stains the sun today, yeah

The Outlaw Torn
---------------
(Hetfield/Ulrich)
You know I wait my whole lifetime for you
And now I wait my lifetime, oh, yeah
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
No one seeks so I may find
And now I wait my whole lifetime
My whole lifetime
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 blast 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 whole lifetime
My whole lifetime
My whole lifetime
And I'm torn, hear me
And if I close my mind in fear
Please pry it open, see me
And if my face becomes sincere
Beware, hear me
And when I start to come undone
Stick me together, see me
And when you see me stretched, remind me of what left this outlaw torn
Hear me
And if I close my mind in fear
Please pry it open, see me
And if my face becomes sincere
Beware, hear me
And when I start to come undone
Stick me together, see me
And when you see me stretched, remind me of what left this outlaw torn
