Some kind of Monster James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett, Bob Rock These are the eyes that can't see m e These are the hands that drop your trust These are the boots that kick you around This is the tongue that speaks on the inside These are the ears that ring with hate This is the face that'll never change This is the fist that grinds you down This is the voice of silence no more These are the legs in circles run This is the beating you'll never know These are the lips that taste no freedom This is the feel that's not safe This is the face you'll never change This is the God that ain't so pure This is the God that is not pure This is the voice of silence no more We the people Are we the people? Some kind of monster The monster lives This is the face that stones you could This is the moment that needs to breathe These are the claws that scratch these wounds This is the pain that never leaves This is the tongue that whips you down This is the burden of every man These are the screams that pierce your skin This is the voice of silence no more This is the test of flesh and soul This is the trap that smells so good This is the flood that drains these eyes These are the looks that chill to the bone These are the fears that swing over heard These are the weights that hold you down This is the end that will never end This is the voice of silence no more We the people Are we the people? Some kind of Monster The monster lives This is the could that swallows trust This is the black that uncolors us This is the face that you hide from This is the mask that comes undone Ominous I'm in us The Four Horsemen Hetfield, Ulrich, Dave Mustaine By the last breath of the fourth winds blow Better raise your ears The sound of hooves knocks at your door Lock up your wife and children now It's time to wield the blade For now you have got some company The Horsemen are drawing nearer On the leather steeds they ride They have come to take your life On through the dead of night With the four Horsemen ride or choose your fate and die You have been dying since the day You were born You know it has all been planned The quartet of deliverance rides A sinner once a sinner twice No need for confession now Cause now you have got the fight of your life The Horsemen are drawing nearer On the leather steeds they ride They have come to take your life On through the dead of night With the four Horsemen ride or choose your fate and die Time has taken its toll on you The lines that crack your face Famine Your body it has torn through Withered in every place Pestilence For what you have had to endure And what you have put others through Death Deliverance for you for sure There is nothing you can do So gather round young warriors now and saddle up your steeds Killing scores with demon swords Now is the death of doers of wrong Swing the judgment hammer down Safely inside armor blood guts and sweat The Horsemen are drawing nearer On the leather steeds they ride They have come to take your life On through the dead of night With the four Horsemen ride or choose your fate and die Damage Inc.

Motorbreath Hetfield Living and dying laughing and crying Once you have seen it you will never be the same Life in the fast lane is just how it seems Hard and it is heavy dirty and mean Motorbreath Its how I live my life I can't take it any other way Motorbreath The sign of living fast It is going to take Your breath away Don't stop for nothing its full speed or nothing I am taking down you know whatever is in my way Getting your kicks as you are shooting the line Sending the shivers up and down your spine Motorbreath Its how I live my life I can't take it any other way Motorbreath The sign of living fast It is going to take Your breath away Those people who tell you not to take chances They are all missing on what life is about You only live once so take hold of the chance Don't end up like others the same song and dance Motorbreath Its how I live my life I can't take it any other way Motorbreath The sign of living fast It is going to take Your breath away Ride The Lightning Hetfield, Ulrich, Burton, Dave Mustaine Guilty as charged But damn it, it ain't right There is 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 flames Wait for the sign To flick the switch of death It's the beginning of the end Sweat, chilling cold As I watch death unfold Consciousness my only friend My fingers grip with fear What I am doing here? Flash before my eyes Now it's time to die Burning in my brain I can feel the flames Someone help me Oh please God help me They are trying to take it all away I don't want to die Time moving slowly 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 the horrid cream Freed from the frightening dream Hit The Lights James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich No life till leather We are gonna kick some ass tonight We got the metal madness When our fans start screaming It's right well alright When we start to rock We never want to stop again Hit the lights Hit the lights Hit the lights You know our fans are insane We are gonna blow this place away with volume higher Than anything today the only way When we start to rock We never want to stop again Hit the lights Hit the lights Hit the lights With all our screaming We are gonna rip right through your brain We got the lethal power It is causing you sweet pain Oh sweet pain When we start to rock We never want to stop again Hit the lights Hit the lights Hit the lights
