2: The Memory Remains (Hetfield/Ulrich)

Fortune, fame

Mirror vain

Gone insane

But the memory remains

Heavy rings on fingers wave

Another star denies the grave

See the nowhere crowd cry the nowhere tears of honor

Like twisted vines that grow

Hide and swallow mansions whole

And dim the light of an already faded prima donna

Fortune, fame

Mirror vain

Gone insane

Fortune, fame

Mirror vain

Gone insane

But the memory remains

Heavy rings hold cigarettes

Up to lips that time forgets

While the Hollywood sun sets behind your back

And can't the band play on

Just listen, they play my song

Ash to ash

Dust to dust

Fade to black

Fortune, fame

Mirror vain

Gone insane

Fortune, fame

Mirror vain

Gone insane

Dance little tin goddess

Nananananana nananada nananananana nanananadana

Drift away

Fade away

Little tin goddess

Ash to ash

Dust to dust

Fade to black

Fortune, fame

Mirror vain

Gone insane

Fortune, fame

Mirror vain

Gone insane

But the memory remains

Ash to ash

Dust to dust

Fade to black

The memories remain

Yeah

To this faded prima donna

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Dance little tin goddess dance

Nananananana nananada nanananana nanananadana

Rararararara rararara rarararara dararararara (Say yes - at least say hello)

Rararararara rararara rarararara

3: Devil's Dance (Hetfield/Ulrich)

4: The Unforgiven II (Hetfield/Ulrich/Hammett)

Lay beside me

Tell me what they've done

Speak the words I wanna hear

To make my demons run

The door is locked now

But it's open if you're true

If you can understand the me

Then I can understand the you

Lay beside me

Under wicked sky

The black of day

Dark of night

We share this paralyze

The door cracks open

But there's no sun shining through

Black heart scarring darker still

But there's no sun shining through

No, there's no sun shining through

No, there's no sun shining

What I've felt

What I've known

Turn the pages

Turn the stone

Behind the door

Should I open it for you?

Yeah

What I've felt

What I've known

Sick and tired

I stand alone

Could you be there

'cause I'm the one who waits for you

Or are you unforgiven too?

Come lay beside me

This won't hurt, I swear

She loves me not

She loves me still

But she'll never love again

She lay beside me

But she'll be there when I'm gone

Black heart scarring darker still

Yes, she'll be there when I'm gone

Dead sure she'll be there

Turn the pages

Turn the stone

Behind the door

Should I open it for you?

So I dub thee unforgiven

Oh, what I've felt

Oh, what I've known

I take this key

And I bury it in you

Because you're unforgiven too

Never free

Never me

'cause you're unforgiven too

5: Better Than You (Hetfield/Ulrich)

I look at you, then you me

Hungry and thirsty I wait

Holding the lion's share

Holding the key

Holding me back 'cause I'm striving to be

Better than you (better than you)

Lock homes I push, and I strive

Somehow I feel more alive

Bury the deep forest

Bury the sea

Bury me deep when there's no will to be

Better than you (better than you)

Oh Better than you (better than you)

Oh, can't stop this train from rolling

Oh, yo, nothing brings me down

No, can't stop this train from rolling on and on, on

No, no, forever on and on

So wake up sleepy one

Steal dreams and give to you

Shop lift a thought or two

All children touch the sun

Burn fingers one by one

By one

Will this earth be good to you?

Keep you clean or stain through?

So wake up sleepy one

It's time to save your world

You're where the wild things are

11: Low Man's Lyric (Hetfield/Ulrich)

My eyes seek reality

My fingers seek my veins

There's a dog at your back step

He must come in from the rain

I fall 'cause I let go

The net below has rot away

So my eyes seek reality

And my fingers seek my veins

The trash fire is warm

But nowhere safe from the storm

And I can't bear to see

What I've let me be

So wicked and worn

So as I write to you

Of what is done and to do

Maybe you'll understand

And won't cry for this man

'cause low man is due

Please forgive me

My eyes seek reality

My fingers feel for faith

Touch clean with a dirty hand

I touched the clean to the waste

The trash fire is warm

But nowhere safe from the storm

And I can't bear to see

What I've let me be

So wicked and worn

So as I write to you, yeah

Of what is done and to do, yeah

Maybe you'll understand

And won't cry for this man

'cause low man is due

Please forgive me

So low the sky is all I see

All I want from you is forgive me

So you bring this poor dog in from the rain

Though he just wants right back out again

And I cry to the alleyway

Confess all to the rain

But I lie, lie straight to the mirror

The one I've broken to match my face

The trash fire is warm

But nowhere safe from the storm

And I can't bear to see

What I've let me be

So wicked and worn

So as I write to you, yeah

Of what is done and to do, yeah

Maybe you'll understand

And won't cry for this man

'cause low man is due

Please forgive me

So low the sky is all I see

All I want from you is forgive me

So you bring this poor dog in from the rain

Though he just wants right back out again

My eyes seek reality

My fingers seek my veins

12: Attitude (Hetfield/Ulrich)

Suppose I say

I'm never satisfied

Suppose I say

You cut some root

To make the tree survive

Just let me kill you for a while

Just let me kill you for a smile

Just let me kill you once

I'm oh so bored to death

Oh, I hunger

I hunger

I eat

Born into attitude

Asleep at the wheel

Throw all your bullets in the fire

And run like hell

Why cure the fever?

What ever happened to sweat?

Suppose I say

The vultures smile at me

Suppose I say

I set them down

They plan to pick you clean

And satisfaction this way comes

And satisfaction's here and gone

Gone, yeah, and gone again

Oh, I hunger

I eat

Born into attitude

Asleep at the wheel

Throw all your bullets in the fire

And stand there

Born into attitude

Twist mother tongue

Throw all your bullets in the fire

And run like hell

Why cure the fever?

What ever happened to sweat?

Just let me kill you for a while

Just let me kill you for a smile

Just let me kill you once for me

Born into attitude

Asleep at the wheel

Throw all your bullets in the fire

And stand there

Born into attitude

Twist mother tongue

Throwing all your bullets in the fire

And run like hell

Why cure the fever?

What ever happened to sweat?

13: Fixxxer (Hetfield/Ulrich/Hammett)

Yeah

Dolls of voodoo all stuck with pins

One for each of us and our sins

So you lay us in a line

Push your pins, they make us humble

Only you can tell in time

If we fall or merely stumble

But tell me

Can you heal what father's done

Or fix this hole in a mother's son

Can you heal the broken worlds within

Can you strip away so we may start again

Tell me, can you heal what father's done

Or cut this rope and let us run

Just when all seems fine and I'm pain free

You jab another pin

Jab another pin in me

Yeah

Mirror, mirror upon the wall

Break the spell or become the doll

See you sharpening the pins

So the holes will remind us

We're just the toys in the hands of another

And in time the needles turn from shine to rust

But tell me

Can you heal what father's done

Or fix this hole in a mother's son

Can you heal the broken worlds within

Can you strip away so we may start again

Tell me, can you heal what father's done

Or cut this rope and let us run

Just when all seems fine and I'm pain free

You jab another pin

Jab another pin in me

Jab it

Blood for face

Sweat for dirt

Three X's for the stone

To break this curse

A ritual's due

I believe I'm not alone

Shell of shotgun

Pint of gin

Numb us up to shield the pins

Renew our faith

Which way we can

To fall in love with life again

To fall in love

To fall in love with life again

So tell me

Can you heal what father's done

Or fix this hole in a mother's son

Can you heal the broken worlds within

Can you strip away so we may start again

Yeah, tell me, can you heal what father's done

Or cut this rope and let us run

Just when all seems fine and I'm pain free

You jab another pin

Jab another pin in me

Oh yeah

No more pins in me, yeah

No more, no more pins in me

No more, no more, no more

No, no, no
