전작이후 4년만에 발매된 메탈리카의 문제작. 골수팬과 신생팬들 사이에 골을 더욱 깊게 만든 작품이다. 그런지와 얼터너티브의 융합은 스래쉬로 대변되던 메탈리카의 이미지를 180도 왜곡시키기에 충분했으나, 더욱 간결해진 곡 구성을 바탕으로 대중에게는 한껏 친숙한 밴드로 남겨질 수 있는 계기가 되기도 했다.

*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 Until it sleeps -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 theres no one around Just want one thing Just to play the king But the castle crumbled And you've left with just a name Wheres your crown King nothing
Wheres your crown
Hard and cold Bought and sold A heart hard as gold Are you satisfied Wish I may Wish I might You wish your life away 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 theres no one around Just want one thing Just to play the king But the castle crumbled And you've left with just a name Wheres your crown King nothing
Wheres win your crown
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 dont 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 theres no one around Just want one thing Just to play the king But the castle crumbled And you've left with just a name Wheres your crown King Nothing
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
excuse 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 fist I've made 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 crying now
Still the window burns Time so slowly turns And someone there is sighing Keepers of the flames did you hear your name Can't you hear your babies crying 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 Mama they try and break me Mama they try and break me

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's cold and in his hand He takes in 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 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 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 I do believe

Oh poor twisted me Oh poor twisted me I feast on sympathy I chew on suffer, I chew on agony 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 woe 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
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 woe 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 waste my hate on you I think I'll keep it for myself 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
Mama she has taught me well Told me when I was young Son your life's an open book Don't close it before it's done The brightest flame burns quickest Is what I heard her 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 my 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 ask forgiveness For what I said is done Let my heart go Let your son grow Mama let my heart go Or let this heart be still Never I ask you But never I gave But you gave me your emptiness That I'll take to my grave Never I ask 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 But a mother's love for her son Unspoken hear me be Yeah 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
Let my heart go Let your son grow Mama let my heart go Or let this heart be still Let my heart go Mama let my heart go You never let my heart go So let this heart be still
Never I ask you But never I gave But you gave me your emptiness That I'll take to my grave Never I ask you But never I gave But you gave me your emptiness That I'll take to my grave So let this heart be still
Story starts quiet town Small town boy big time frown Never talks never plays Different path lost his way Then streets of 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 smile 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 the soon 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
Yeah well all the green things die When Ronnie go to the 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 They'd all fall down He said lost my way This bloody day Lost my way he scream 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
Outlaw of 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
Outlaw of torn 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 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
