Metallica Tabs 2
Memory Remains
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
That 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
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...
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane...
Dance little tin goddess
Na-na-na
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
But the memory remains
Yeah
Faded prima donna yeah, yeah
Dance little tin goddess dance
No Leaf Clover
And it feels right this time
On this crash course were in the big time
Pay no mind to the distant thunder
Beauty fills his head with wonder, boy....
Says it feels right this time
Turn around, found new high lights
Good day to be alive sir
Good day to be alive, he said.....
Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel
Is just a freight train coming your way
Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel

Suck up for that quick reward boy

Nothing Else Matters
So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
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 trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But i know
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 things they say
Never cared for games they play
I never cared for what they do
I never cared for what they know
And i know
(solo)
So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No nothing else matters

One
I cant remember anything
Cant 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
Im 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 cant look forward to reveal
Look to the time when ill 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 im 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
Söz: Hetfield
Müzik: Hetfield/Ulrich
Albüm: ... And Justice For All
Ride The Lightning
Guilty as charged
But dammit it ain't right
There's someone else controlling me
Death in the air
Strapped in the electric chair
This can't be happening to me
Who made you God to say
I'll take your life from you!!
Flash before my eyes
Now it's time to die
Burning in my brain
I can feel the flame
Wait for the sign
To flick the switch of death
It's the beginnign of the end
Sweat chilling cold
As I watch death unfold
Consciousness my only friend
My fingers grip with fear
What am I doing here?
Flash before my eyes
Now it's time to die
I can feel the flame
Someone help me
Oh please God help me
They're trying to take it all away
I don't want to die
Time moving slow
The minutes seem like hours
The final curtain call I see
How true is this?
Just get it over with
If this is true just let it be
Wakened by horrid scream
Freed from this frightening dream
Flash before my eyes
Now it's time to die
Burning in my brain
I can feel the flame

Sad But True
Hey
I'm your life
I'm the one who takes you there
Hey
I'm your life
I'm the one who cares
They
They betray
I'm your only true friend now
They
They'll betray
I'm forever there
I'm your dream, make you real
I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm your pain when you can't feel
Sad but true
I'm your dream, mind astray
I'm your eyes while you're away
I'm your pain while you repay
You know it's sad but true you
You
You're my mask
You're my cover, my shelter
You
You're my mask
You're the one who's blamed
Do
Do my work
Do my dirty work, scapegoat
Do
Do my deeds
For you're the one who's shamed
I'm your dream, make you real
I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm your pain when you can't feel
Sad but true
I'm your dream, mind astray
I'm your eyes while you're away
I'm your pain while you repay
You know it's sad but true hate I'm your hate
Hate
I'm your hate
I'm your hate when you want love
Pay
Pay the price
pay, for nothing's fair
Hey
I'm your life
I'm the one who took you there
Hey
I'm your life
And I no longer care
I'm your dream, make you real
I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm your pain when you can't feel
Sad but true
I'm your truth, telling lies
I'm your reason alibis
I'm inside open your eyes
I'm you
Sad but true

Sanatarium
Welcome to where time stands still
No-one leaves and no-one will
Moon is full, never seems to change
Just labelled metally deranged
Dream the same thing every night
I see my freedom in my sight
No locked doors, no windows barred
No things to make my brain seem scarred
Sleep my friend and you will see
That dream is my reality
They Keep me locked up in this cage
Can't they see that why my brain says rage
Sanatarium
Leave me be
Sanatarium
Just leave me alone
Build my fear of what's out there
Cannot breathe the open air
Whisper things into my brain
Assuring me that I'm insane
They think our heads are in their hands
But violent use brings violent plans
Keep him tied, it makes him well
He's getting better, can't you tell?
No more can they keep us in
Listen, dammit, we will win
They see it right, they see it well
But they think this saves us from our hell
Sanatarium
Leave me be
Sanatarium
Just leave me alone
Sanatarium
Just leave me alone
Fear of living on
Natives getting restless now
Mutiny in the air
Got some death to do
Mirror stares back hard
Kill, it's such a friendly word
Seems the only way
For reaching out again
Seek And Destroy
We are scanning the scene
In the city tonight
We are looking for you
To start up a fight
There is an evil feeling
In our brains
But it is nothing new
You know it drives us insane
Running,
On our way
Hiding,
You will pay
Dying,
One thousand deaths
Running,
On our way
Hiding,
You will pay
Dying,
One thousand deaths
Serching,
Seek and destroy
Serching,
Seek and destroy
Serching,
Seek and destroy
Serching,
Seek and destroy
There is no escape
And that is for sure
This is the end
We won't take any more
Say goodbye
To the world you live in
You have always been taking
But now you're giving
Running,
On our way
Hiding,
You will pay
Dying,
One thousand deaths
Running,
On our way
Hiding,
You will pay
Dying,
One thousand deaths
Serching,
Seek and destroy
Serching,
Seek and destroy
Serching,
Seek and destroy
Serching,
Seek and destroy
Our brains are on fire
With the feeling to kill
And it will not go again
Until our dreams are fulfilled
There is only one thing
On our minds
Don't try running away
Cause you're the one we will find
Running,
On our way
Hiding,
You will pay
Dying,
One thousand deaths
Running,
On our way
Hiding,
You will pay
Dying,
One thousand deaths
Serching,
Seek and destroy
Serching,
Seek and destroy
Serching,
Seek and destroy
Serching,
Seek and destroy

St. Anger
Saint anger 'round my neck
Saint anger 'round my neck
He never gets respect
Saint anger 'round my neck
You flush it out, you flush it out
Saint anger 'round my neck
You flush it out, you flush it out
He never gets respect
Fuck it all and no regrets
I hit the lights on these dark sets
I need a voice to let myself
To let myself go free
Fuck it all and fuckin' no regrets
I hit the lights on these dark sets
Medallion noose, i hang myself
Saint anger 'round my neck
I feel my world shake
Like an earth quake
Hard to see clear
Is it me? is it fear?
I'm madly in anger with you
And i want my anger to be healthy
And i want my anger just for me
And i need my anger not to control me
And i want my anger to be me
And i need to set my anger free
Set it free!
The Day That Never Comes
Born to push you around
Better just stay down
You pull away, he hits the flesh, you hit the ground
Mouth so full of lies
Tend to black your eyes
Just keep them closed, keep praying, just keep waiting
Waiting for the one
The day that never comes
When you stand up and feel the warmth
But the sunshine never comes, no
No the sunshine never comes
Push you 'cross that line
Just stay down this time
Hiding yourself, crawl in yourself, you'll have your time
God i'll make them pay
Take it back one day
I'll end this day, i'll spot a colour on this grey
Waiting for the one
The day that never comes
When you stand up and feel the warmth
But the sunshine never comes
Love is a four letter word
And never spoken here
Love is a four letter word
Here in this prison
I suffer this no longer
I'll put it into
This i swear, this i swear,
The sun will shine
This i swear, this i swear, this i swear
The Unforgiven
New blood joins this earth
And quickly he's subdued
Through constant pained disgrace
The young boy learns their rules
With time the child draws in
This whipping boy done wrong
Deprived of all his thoughts
The young man struggles on and on he's know
A vow unto his own
That never comes this day
His will they'll take away
What i've felt
What i've known
Never shined through in what i've shown
Never be
Never see
Won't see what might have been
What i've felt
What i've known
Never shined through in what i've shown
Never free
Never me
So i dub thee unforgiven
They dedicate their lives
To running all of his
He tries to please them all
This bitter man he is
Throughout his life the same
He's battled constantly
This fight he cannot win
A tired man they see no longer cares
The old man then prepares
To die regretfully
That old man here is me
What i've felt
What i've known
Never shined through in what i've shown
Never be
Never see
Won't see what might have been
What i've felt
What i've known
Never shined through in what i've shown
Never free
Never me
So i dub thee unforgiven
You labeled me
I'll label you
So i dub thee unforgiven

The Unforgiven 2
Lay beside me, tell me what they've done
Speak the words i wanna hear, to make my demons run
The door is locked now, but it's open if you're true
If you can understand the me, than i can understand the you
Lay beside me, under wicked sky
The black of day, dark of night, we share this paralyze
The door cracks open, but there's no sun shining through
Black heart scarring darker still, but there's no sun shining through
No, there's no sun shining through
No, there's no sun shining...
What i've felt, what i've known
Turn the pages, turn the stone
Behind the door, should i open it for you....
What i've felt, what i've known
Sick and tired, i stand alone
Could you be there, 'cause i'm the one who waits for you
Or are you unforgiven too?
Lay beside me, this won't hurt i swear
She loves me not, she loves me still, but she'll never love again
She lay beside me, but she'll be there when i'm gone
Black heart scarring darker still, yes she'll be there when i'm gone
Yes, she'll be there when i'm gone
Dead sure she'll be there...
What i've felt, what i've known
Turn the pages, turn the stone
Behind the door, should i open it for you....
What i've felt, what i've known
Sick and tired, i stand alone
Could you be there, 'cause i'm the one who waits for you
Or are you unforgiven too?
Lay beside me, tell me what i've done
The door is closed, so are you're eyes
But now i see the sun, now i see the sun
Yes now i see it
What i've felt, what i've known
Turn the pages, turn the stone
Behind the door, should i open it for you....
What i've felt, what i've known
Sick and tired, i stand alone
Could you be there, 'cause i'm the one who waits,
The one who waits for you....
Oh what i've felt, what i've known
Turn the pages, turn the stone
Behind the door, should i open it for you.... (So i dub thee unforgiven....)
Oh, what i've felt....
Oh, what i've known....
I take this key (Never free...)
And i bury it (Never me...) in you
Because you're unforgiven too....
Never free....
Never me....
'cause you're unforgiven too....
Oh
The Unforgiven III
How could he know this new dawn’s light
Would change his life forever?
Set sail to sea but pulled off course
By the light of golden treasure
Was he the one causing pain
With his careless dreaming?
Been afraid, always afraid
Of the things he’s feeling
He could just be gone
He would just sail on
He would just sail on
How can i be lost?
If i’ve got nowhere to go?
Searched for seas of gold
How come it’s got so cold?
How can i be lost?
In remembrance i relive
And how can i blame you
When it’s me i can’t forgive?
These days drift on inside a fog
It’s thick and suffocating
This seeking life outside its hell
Inside intoxicating
He’s run aground like his life
Water’s much too shallow
Slipping fast down with the ship
Fading in the shadows now
A castaway
Blame all gone away
Blame gone away
How can i be lost
If i’ve got nowhere to go?
Searched for seas of gold
How come it’s got so cold?
How can i be lost?
In remembrance i relive
And how can i blame you
When it’s me i can’t forgive?
Forgive me, forgive me not
Forgive me, forgive me not
Forgive me, forgive me not
Forgive me, forgive me
Why can’t i forgive me?
Set sail to sea but pulled off course
By the light of golden treasure
How could he know this new dawn’s light
Would change his life forever
How can i be lost
If i’ve got nowhere to go?
Searched for seas of gold
How come it’s got so cold?
How can i be lost?
In remembrance i relive
So how can i blame you
When it’s me i can’t forgive?
The Wait
Motives changing
Day to day
The fire increases
Masks decay
I look at the river
White foam floats down
The body's poisoned
Got to sit tight
The wait
The wait
The wait
The wait
After awakening
The silence grows
The screams subside
Distortion shows
Mutant thoughts
Of bad mouthed news
Just another birth
Of distorted views
The wait
The wait
The wait
The wait
Through The Never
All that is, was and will be
Universe much too big to see
Time and space never ending
Disturbing thoughts, questions pending
Limitations of human understanding
Too quick to criticize
Obligation to survive
We hunger to be alive
All that is, ever
Ever was
Will be ever
Twisting
Turning
Through the never
In the dark, see past our eyes
Pursuit of trhuth no matter where it lies
Gazing up to the breeze of the heavens
On a quest, meaning, reason
Came to be, how it begun
All alone in the family of the sun
Curiosity teasing everyone
On our home, third stone from the sun
All that is, ever
Ever was
Will be ever
Twisting
Turning
Through the never
On through the never
We must go
On through the never
Out of the
Edge of forever
We must go
On through the never
Then never comes
All that is, ever
Ever was
Will be ever
Who we are
Ask forever
Twisting
Turning
Through the never
Never
