Death Magnetic Lyrics

That Was Just Your Life
Like a siren in my head that i was placed to repeat,
Like a blind man that was shoved into the speeding driver's seat,
Like a face that learned to speak, when all it knew was how to fight,
Like a misery that keeps me from just going out astray,
Like an illness that I'm about to waken from its state.

Contradiction,
A premonition,
Now are the aids who i deny,
I deny.

I blind my eyes and try to force it all into place,
I stitch them up, see not my fall from grace.
I blind my eyes, i hardly feel it passing me by,
I open just in time to say goodbye.

Almost like your life,
Almost like your endless fight,
Cursed, the day is long,
Realize you don't belong,
Disconnect somehow,
Never stop complaining now,
Almost like your fight,
And there it went,
Almost like your life.

(solo)

Like a bullet, keeps on bleeding to remind me not to think,
Like a raging river, drowning when i only need a drink,
Like a poison that i swallow, but i want the world to die.

Like a release from a prison that i didn't know i was in,
Like a fight to live the present, i pictured it like this,
Like a general without a mission until the wars start again,
Start again.

I blind my eyes and try and force it all into place,
I stitch them up, see not my fall from grace.
I blind my eyes, i hardly feel it passing me by,
I open just in time to say goodbye.

Almost like your life,
Almost like your endless fight,
Cursed, the day is long,
Realize you don't belong,
Disconnect somehow,
Never stop complaining now,
Almost like your fight,
And there it went,
Almost like your life.

Like a touch from hell,
I feel how hot that it can get if you get caught,
Like a strike from heaven that turns that key,
That brings you straight down to your knees,
Like a touch from hell,
I feel how hot that it can get if i get caught,
Like a strike from heaven to reprieve,
That brings you straight down to your knees.

Almost like your life,
Almost like your endless fight,
Cursed, the day is long,
Realize you don't belong,
Disconnect somehow,
Never stop complaining now,
Almost like your fight,
And there it went,
Almost like your life.
That was just your life.


The End Of The Line
Need,
More and more,
Tainted misery.

Bleed,
Battle scars,
Chemical affinity.

Reign,
Legacy,
Innocence corrode.

Stain,
Rot away,
Catatonic overload.

Choke,
Asphyxia,
Snuff reality.

Scorch,
Kill the light,
Incinerate celebrity.

Reaper,
Butchery,
Karma amputee.

Bloodline,
Breeding fine,
Death contagious deity.

Hooked into this deceiver,
Need more and more,
Into the endless fever,
Need more and more.

New consequence machine,
Burn through all your gasoline,
Asylum overtime,
Never mind,
You reach the end of the line.

Time,
Choke the clock,
Steal another day.

Die,
Faithfully,
Narcissistic fade away.

Twisted,
Jump the rail,
Shout at the crowd below.

Breaker,
Chase the ghost,
The latest high to all time low.

Hooked into this deceiver,
Need more and more,
Into the endless fever,
Need more and more.

New consequence machine,
Burn through all your gasoline,
Asylum overtime,
Never mind,
You reach the end of the line.

Drop the hourglass of time,
Spinning sand we will not find,
As we gather here today,
We bid farewell.

The slave becomes the master,
The slave becomes the master,
The slave becomes the master,
The slave becomes the master.

Need more and more,
Right now and ever after,
Need more and more.

New consequence machine,
Burn through all your gasoline,
Asylum overtime,
Never mind.

Dead hourglass of time,
Sand we will not ever find,
We gather here today,
Say goodbye,
'Cause you've reached the end of the line.

The end of the line,
The end of the line,
The end of the line,
You've reached the end of the line.

The Day That Never Comes
Born to push you around,
You better just stay down,
You pull away,
He hits the flesh,
You hit the ground,
Mouths so full of lies,
Tend to black your eyes,
Just keep them closed,
Keep praying,
Just keep waiting.

Waiting for the one,
The day that never comes,
When you stand up and feel the warmth,
But the sunshine never comes,
No the sunshine never comes.

Push you cross that line,
Just stay down this time,
Hide in yourself,
Crawl in yourself,
You'll have your time,
God I'll make them pay,
Take it back one day,
I'll end this day,
I'll splatter color on this grave.

Waiting for the one,
The day that never comes,
When you stand up and feel the warmth,
But the sunshine never comes,
No the sunshine never comes.

Love is a four letter word,
And never spoken here,
Love is a four letter word,
Here in this prison,
I suffer this no longer,
I put it into,
This I swear!
This I swear!
The sun will shine!
This I swear!
This I swear!
This I swear!


All Nightmare Long
(one, two...)

Luck runs out.

Crawl from the wreckage one more time,
Horrific memory twists the mind,
Dark, rutted (rugged maybe?), cold and hard to turn,
Path of destruction, feel it burn.

Still life,
Incarnation,
Still life,
Infamy.

Hallucination,
Heresy,
Still you run,
What's to come?
What's to be?

'Cause we'll hunt you down without mercy,
Hunt you down all nightmare long,
Feel us breathe upon your face,
Feel our shift, every move we trace.

Hunt you down without mercy,
Hunt you down all nightmare long, yeah.
Luck runs...
And you crawl out again,
But your luck runs out.

(one, two...)

Luck runs out.

The light that is not light is here,
To flush you out with your own fear,
You hide, you hide,
But will be found,
Release your grip without a sound.

Still life,
Immolation,
Still life,
Infamy.

Hallucination,
Heresy,
Still you run,
What's to come?
What's to be?

'Cause we'll hunt you down without mercy,
Hunt you down all nightmare long,
Feel us breathe upon your face,
Feel our shift, every move we trace.

Hunt you down without mercy,
Hunt you down all nightmare long, yeah.
Luck runs...
And you crawl out again,
But your luck runs out.

(solo #1)

(solo #2)

Then you crawl back in,
Into your obsession,
Never to return,
This is your confession.

Hunt you down without mercy,
Hunt you down all nightmare long.
Feel us breathe upon your face,
Feel our shift, every move we trace.

Hunt you down without mercy,
Hunt you down all nightmare long, yeah.
Luck runs...
And you crawl out again,
But your luck runs out.


Cyanide
Sleep and dream of this,
Death angel's kiss,
Brings final bliss,
Don't believe it!

Empty are they,
Death, won't you let me stay?
Empty they say,
Death, won't you call your name?
Oh, call your name!
Suicide, I've already died,
It's just the funeral I've been waiting for,
Cyanide, living dead inside,
Break this empty shell forevermore.

Wait, wait patiently,
Your death-black wings,
Unfolding sleep,
Treading on me.

Empty they say,
Death, won't you let me stay?
Empty they say,
Death, hear me call your name,
Oh, call your name!
Suicide, I've already died,
It's just the funeral I've been waiting for,
Cyanide, living dead inside,
Break this empty shell forevermore.

Say, is that rain or are they tears?
That stained your concrete face for years,
Crying, weeping, shedding strife,
Year after year, life after life,
A narrow freshly broken ground,
A concrete angel laid right down,
Upon the moon that swallows fast,
It's peace at last,
Oh, peace at last.

Empty they say,
Death, won't you let me stay?
Empty they say,
Death, hear me call your name,
Oh, call your name,
Suicide, I've already died,
It's just the funeral I've been waiting for,
Cyanide, living dead inside,
Break this empty shell forevermore.

Forevermore!
Forevermore!
It's the funeral I've been waiting for!


The Unforgiven III
How could he know this new dawn's light
Would change his life forever?
Set sail to sea but pulled off course
By the light of golden treasure

Was he the one causing pain
With his careless dreaming?
Been afraid
Always afraid
Of the things he's feeling
He could just be gone

He would just sail on
He would just sail on

How can I be lost?
If I've got nowhere to go?
Searched the seas of gold
How come it's got so cold?
How can I be lost
In remembrance I relive
How can I blame you
When it's me I can't forgive?

These days drift on inside a fog
It's thick and suffocating
This seeking life outside its hell
Inside intoxicating
He's run aground
Like his life
Water's much too shallow
Slipping fast
Down with the ship
Fading in the shadows now
A castaway

Blame
All gone
Away

Blame gone away

How can I be lost
If I've got nowhere to go?
Search for seas of gold
How come it's got so cold?
How can I be lost
In remembrance I relive
And how can I blame you
When it's me I can't forgive?

Forgive me
Forgive me not
Forgive me
Forgive me not
Forgive me
Forgive me not
Forgive me
Forgive me, why can't I forgive me?

Set sail to sea but pulled off course
By the light of golden treasure
How could he know this new dawn's light
Would change his life forever

How can I be lost
If I've got nowhere to go?
Search for seas of gold
How come it's got so cold?
How can I be lost
In remembrance I relive
So how can I blame you
When it's me I can't forgive?
