Pay attention to the cracked streets and the broken homes
Some call it slums, some call it nice
I want to take you through a wasteland I like to call my home
Welcome to paradise
Lyrics
The Wretched Spawn
Spawn of the wretched, born of the rape
Dawn of the murdering, beasts of hate
Spawn of the wretched, cunt defiled
Pawn of the darkness, blasphemous child
The wretched spawn, inherently vile
Am I Savage?
Ooooh, run away, the past will bite again
Ooooh, no matter where you dwell
You, here again, a captive of the howl
You, welcome back to hell
Ooooh, tooth is fang, twisting under skin
Ooooh, foul tongue, black breath
Change, snap inside, the Beast about complete
Change, soon infects the rest
Faithful, as the full moon is rising
Beauty and the Beast are colliding
Sharpened edge touch liquid flame
Deepened seed soaks angers reign
Arching back, shape-shift derange
Father, how I watched you change
Am I savage? Howling at the door
Am I savage? I don’t recognize you anymore
Ooooh, inheritance, the past has bit again
Ooooh, the next heir of anarchy
Feel, stretching skin so far beyond belief
I feel, the ever changing, you, in me
Am I savage? Scratching at the door
Am I savage? I don’t recognize you anymore
Am I savage? Scratching at the door
Am I savage? Howling evermore
Am I savage? I don’t recognize me anymore
* James Hetfield explained to Rolling Stone Australia that the lyrics on this riff-driven track are about the, “realization that there’s a beast in me, and there’s a beauty in me too… that I can go from being super nice to some fucked-up beast that has no real filter or common sense.”
Keine Lust
Ich habe keine Lust mich nicht zu hassen
Hab’ keine Lust mich anzufassen
Ich hätte Lust zu onanieren
Hab’ keine Lust es zu probieren
Ich hätte Lust mich auszuziehen
Hab’ keine Lust mich nackt zu sehen
Ich hätte Lust mit großen Tieren
Hab’ keine Lust es zu riskieren
Hab’ keine Lust vom Schnee zu gehen
Hab’ keine Lust zu erfrieren, oh
Ich habe keine Lust etwas zu kauen
Denn ich hab’ keine Lust es zu verdauen
Hab keine Lust mich zu wiegen
Hab keine Lust im Fett zu liegen
Ich hätte Lust mit großen Tieren
Hab’ keine Lust es zu riskieren
Hab’ keine Lust vom Schnee zu gehen
Hab’ keine Lust zu erfrieren
Ich bleibe einfach liegen
Und wieder zähle ich die Fliegen
Lustlos fasse ich mich an, und merke dann
Ich bin schon lange kalt, so kalt
Mir ist kalt, so kalt, mir ist kalt…
Hurt
I hurt myself today, to see if I still feel
I focus on the pain, the only thing that’s real
The needle tears a hole, the old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away, but I remember everything
What have I become, my sweetest friend?
Everyone I know goes away in the end
You could have it all, my empire of dirt
I will let you down, I will make you hurt
I wear this crown of shit, upon my liar’s chair
Full of broken thoughts I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time, the feelings disappear
You are someone else, I am still right here
What have I become my sweetest friend?
Everyone I know goes away in the end
You could have it all, my empire of dirt
I will let you down, I will make you hurt
If I could start again, a million miles away
I would keep myself, I would find a way
Between the Bars
Drink up, baby, stay up all night
With the things you could do, you won’t but you might
The potential you’ll be that you’ll never see
The promises you’ll only make
Drink up with me now and forget all about
The pressure of days, do what I say
And I’ll make you okay and drive them away
The images stuck in your head
People you’ve been before that you
Don’t want around anymore
That push and shove and won’t bend to your will
I’ll keep them still
Drink up, baby, look at the stars
I’ll kiss you again, between the bars
Where I’m seeing you there, with your hands in the air
Waiting to finally be caught
Drink up one more time and I’ll make you mine
Keep you apart, deep in my heart
Separate from the rest, where I like you the best
And keep the things you forgot
People you’ve been before that you
Don’t want around anymore
That push and shove and won’t bend to your will
I’ll keep them still
Minority
I want to be the minority
I don’t need your authority
Down with the moral majority
‘Cause I want to be the minority
I pledge allegiance to the underworld
One nation under dog
There of which I stand alone
A face in the crowd
Unsung, against the mold
Without a doubt
Singled out
The only way I know
‘Cause I want to be the minority
I don’t need your authority
Down with the moral majority
‘Cause I want to be the minority
Stepped out of the line
Like a sheep runs from the herd
Marching out of time
To my own beat now
The only way I know
One light, one mind
Flashing in the dark
Blinded by the silence of a thousand broken hearts
“For crying out loud” she screamed unto me
A free for all
Fuck ’em all
You’re on your own side
‘Cause I want to be the minority
I don’t need your authority
Down with the moral majority
‘Cause I want to be the minority
Nice Guys Finish Last
Nice guys finish last
You’re running out of gas
Your sympathy will get you left behind
Sometimes you’re at your best
When you feel the worst
You feel washed up like piss gone down the drain
Pressure cooker pick my brain and tell me I’m insane
I’m so fucking happy I could cry
Every joke can have its truth but now the joke’s on you
I never knew you’re such a funny guy
Falling Away from Me
Hey, I’m feeling tired
My time, is gone today
You flirt with suicide
Sometimes, that’s OK
Hear what others say
I’m here, standing hollow
Falling away from me
Falling away from me
Day, is here fading
That’s when, I would say
I flirt with suicide
Sometimes kill the pain
I can always say
“It’s gonna be better tomorrow”
Falling away from me
Falling away from me
Beating me down
Beating me, beating me
Down, down
Into the ground
Screaming some sound
Beating me, beating me
Down, down
Into the ground
Freak on a Leash
Something takes a part of me
Something lost and never seen
Everytime I start to believe
Something’s raped and taken from me… from me
Something lost and never seen
Everytime I start to believe
Something’s raped and taken from me… from me
Life’s got to always be messing with me
Can’t they chill and let me be free?
Can’t I take away all this pain
I try to every night, all in vain… in vainSometimes I cannot take this place
Sometimes it’s my life I can’t taste
Sometimes I cannot feel my face
You’ll never see me fall from grace
Can’t they chill and let me be free?
Can’t I take away all this pain
I try to every night, all in vain… in vainSometimes I cannot take this place
Sometimes it’s my life I can’t taste
Sometimes I cannot feel my face
You’ll never see me fall from grace
Feeling like a freak on a leash
Feeling like I have no release
How many times have I felt diseased?
Nothing in my life is free… is free
Sometimes I cannot take this place
Sometimes it’s my life I can’t taste
Sometimes I cannot feel my face
You’ll never see me fall from grace
wasted
