The Thing That Should Not Be

(from the album Master of Puppets)

Back to Metallica Albums

Messenger of Fear in sight

Dark deception kills the light

*

Hybrid children watch the sea

Pray for Father, roaming free

*

fearless Wretch

insanity

He watches

lurking beneath the sea

great Old One

forbidden site

He searches

Hunter of the Shadows is rising

*

immortal

in madness You dwell

*

Crawling Chaos, underground

cult has summoned, twisted sound

*

Out from ruins once possessed

fallen city, living death

*

fearless Wretch

insanity

He watches

lurking beneath the sea

great Old One

forbidden site

He searches

Hunter of the Shadows is rising

*

immortal

in madness You dwell

*

Not dead which eternal lie

stranger eons Death may die

drain you of your sanity

face The Thing That Should Not Be

*

fearless Wretch

insanity

He watches

lurking beneath the sea

great Old One

forbidden site

He searches

Hunter of the Shadows is rising
