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

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 

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 

Jump In The Fire
Hetfield, Ulrich, Mustaine

Down in the depths of my fiery home 
The summons bell will chime 
Tempting you and all the earth 
to join our sinful kind 
There is a job to be done and I'm the one 
You people make me do it 
Now it is time for your fate and I won't hesitate 
to pull you down into this pit 

So come on 
Jump in the Fire 
So come on 
Jump in the Fire 

With hell in my eyes and with death in my veins 
The end is closing in 
Feeding on the minds of man 
and from their souls within 
My disciples all shout to search out 
And they always shall obey 
Follow me now my child not the meek or the mild 
But do just as I say 

So come on 
Jump in the Fire 
So come on 
Jump in the Fire 

Jump by your will or be taken by force 
I'll get you either way 
Trying to keep the hellfire lit 
I am stalking you as prey 
Living your life as me I am you you see 
So reach down grab my hand walk with me through the land 
Come home where you belong 

So come on 
Jump in the Fire 
So come on 
Jump in the Fire

Whiplash
Hetfield, Ulrich

Late at night all systems go
You have come to see the show 
We do our best You're the rest 
You make it real you know 
There is a feeling deep inside 
That drives you fuckin' mad 
A feeling of a hammerhead 
You need it oh so bad 

Adrenaline starts to flow 
You're thrashing all around 
Acting like a maniac 
Whiplash 

Bang your head against the stage 
Like you never did before 
Make it ring Make it bleed 
Make it really sore 
In a frenzied madness 
with your leather and your spikes 
Heads are bobbing all around 
It is hot as hell tonight 

Adrenaline starts to flow 
You're thrashing all around 
Acting like a maniac 
Whiplash 

Here on the stage the Marshal noise
is piercing through your ears 
It kicks your ass kick your face 
Exploding feeling nears 
Now is the time to let it rip 
To let it fuckin' loose 
We are gathered here to im and kill 
Cause this is what we choose 

Adrenaline starts to flow 
You're thrashing all around 
Acting like a maniac 
Whiplash 

The show is through the metal is gone 
It is time to hit the road 
Another town Another gig 
Again we will explode 
Hotel rooms and motorways
Life out here is raw 
But we will never stop 
We will never quit 
cause we are Metallica

Adrenaline starts to flow 
You're thrashing all around 
Acting like a maniac 
Whiplash 

Phantom Lord
Hetfield, Ulrich, Mustaine

Sound is ripping through your ears 
The deafening sound of metal nears
Your bodies waiting for his whips 
The taste of leather on your lips 

Hear the cry of War 
Louder than before 
With his sword in hand 
to control the land 
Crushing metal strikes 
on this frightening night 
Fall onto your knees 
For the Phantom Lord 

Victims falling under chains 
You hear them crying death pains
The fists of terrors breaking through 
Now there's nothing you can do 

Hear the cry of War 
Louder than before 
With his sword in ha o 
to control the land 
Crushing metal strikes 
on this frightening night 
Fall onto your knees 
For the Phantom Lord 

The leather armies have prevailed 
The Phantom Lord has never failed
Smoke is lifting from the ground 
The rising volume metal sound 

Hear the cry of War 
Louder than before 
With his sword in hand 
to control the land 
Crushing metal strikes 
on this frightening night 
Fall onto your knees 
For the Phantom Lord 

Fall to your knees 
and bow to the PhantomLord

No Remorse
Hetfield, Ulrich

No mercy for what we are doing 
No thought to even what we have done
We don't need to feel the sorrow 
No remorse for the helpless one 

War without end 
No remorse No repent
We don't care what it meant
Another day Another death 
Another sorrow Another breath 
No remorse No repent 
We don't care what it meant
Another day Another death 
Another sorrow Another breath 

Blood feeds the war machine 
as it eats its way across the land 
We don't need the feel the sorrow 
No remorse is the one command 

War without end 
No remorse No repent
We don't care what it meant
Another day Another death 
Another sorrow Another breath 
No remorse No repent 
We don't care what it meant
Another day Another death 
Another sorrow Another breath 

Only the strong survive 
No one to save the weaker race
We are ready to kill all comers 
Like a loaded gun right at your face

War without end 
No remorse No repent
We don't care what it meant
Another day Another death 
Another sorrow Another breath 
No remorse No repent 
We don't care what it meant
Another day Another death 
Another sorrow Another breath 

Attack 
Bullets are flying 
People are dying 
with madness surrounding all hell's breaking loose 
Soldiers are hounding 
Bodies are mounting 
cannons are shouting to take their abuse 
With war machines going 
Blood starts to flowing 
No mercy given to anyone hear 
The furious fighting 
Swords are like lighting 
It all becomes frightening to you 
Know death is near 
No remorse 

Seek And Destroy
Hetfield, Ulrich

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 
Searching, 
Seek and Destroy 
Searching, 
Seek and Destroy 
Searching, 
Seek and Destroy
Searching, 
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 
Searching, 
Seek and Destroy
Searching, 
Seek and Destroy
Searching, 
Seek and Destroy
Searching, 
Seek and Destroy

Our brains are on fire 
with the feeling to kill 
And it will not go away 
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
Searching, 
Seek and Destroy
Searching, 
Seek and Destroy
Searching, 
Seek and Destroy
Searching, 
Seek and Destroy

Thunder and lightning the gods take revenge 
Senseless destruction 
Victims of fury are cowardly now

Stabbing the harlot to pay for her sins 
Leaving the virgin 
Suicide running as if it were free
