Enter Sandman

(from the album Metallica [the black album])

Back to Metallica Albums

Say your prayers little one

Don't forget, my son

To include everyone

*

Tuck you in, warm within

Keep you free from sin

Till the sandman he comes

*

Sleep with one eye open

Gripping your pillow tight

*

Exit light

Enter night

Take my hand

We're off to never never land

*

Something's wrong, shut the light

Heavy thoughts tonight

And they aren't of snow white

*

Dreams of war, dreams of liars

Dreams of dragon's fire

And of things that will bite

*

Sleep with one eye open

Gripping your pillow tight

*

Exit light

Enter night

Take my hand

We're off to never never land

*

Now I lay me down to sleep

Pray the lord my soul to keep

If I die before I wake

Pray the lord my soul to take

*

Hush little baby, don't say a word

And never mind that noise you heard

It's just the beast under your bed,

In your closet, in your head

*

Exit light

Enter night

Grain of sand

*

Exit light

Enter night

Take my hand

We're off to never never land
