Lashing out the action, returning the reaction Weak are ripped and torn away Hypnotizing power, crushing all that cower Battery is here to stay Smashing through the boundaries Lunacy has found me Cannot stop the Battery Pounding out aggression Turns into obsession Cannot kill the Battery Cannot kill the family Battery is found me Battery Crushing all deceivers, mashing non-believers Never ending potency Hungry violence seeker, feeding off the weaker Breeding on insanity Circle of destruction, hammer comes crushing Powerhouse of energy Whipping up a fury, dominating flurry We create the Battery |

Make his fight on the hill in the early day
Constant chill deep inside Shouting gun, on they run through the endless grey On they fight, for they are right, yes, but who's to say? For a hill men would kill, why? They do not know Suffered wounds test their pride Men of five, still alive through the raging glow Gone insane from the pain that they surely know For Whom the Bell Tolls Time marches on For Whom the Bell Tolls Take a look to the sky just before you die It is the last time he will Blackened roar massive roar fills the crumbling sky Shattered goal fills his soul with a ruthless cry Stranger now, are his eyes, to this mystery He hears the silence so loud Crack of dawn, all is gone except the will to be Now they see what will be, blinded eyes to see For Whom the Bell Tolls Time marches on For Whom the Bell Tolls |

I can't remember anything Can't tell if this is true or dream Deep down inside I feel to scream This terrible silence stops me Now that the war is through with me I'm waking up, I cannot see That there's not much left of me Nothing is real but pain now Hold my breath as I wish for death Oh please God, wake me Back in the womb it's much too real In pumps life that I must feel But can't look forward to reveal Look to the time when I'll live Fed through the tube that sticks in me Just like a wartime novelty Tied to machines that make me be Cut this life off from me Hold my breath as I wish for death Oh please God, wake me Now the world is gone I'm just one Oh God, help me hold my breath as I wish for death Oh please God, help me Darkness imprisoning me all that I see absolute horror I cannot live I cannot die trapped in myself body my holding cell Landmine has taken my sight taken my speech taken my hearing taken my arms taken my legs taken my soul left me with life in hell |

New blood joins this earth
And quickly he's subdued Through constant pained disgrace The young boy learns their rules With time the child draws in This whipping boy done wrong Deprived of all his thoughts The young man struggles on and on he's known A vow unto his own That never from this day His will they'll take away What I've felt What I've known Never shined through in what I've shown Never be Never see Won't see what might have been What I've felt What I've known Never shined through in what I've shown Never free Never me So I dub thee unforgiven They dedicate their lives To running all of his He tries to please them all This bitter man he is Throughout his life the same He's battled constantly This fight he cannot win A tired man they see no longer cares The old man then prepares To die regretfully That old man here is me What I've felt What I've known Never shined through in what I've shown Never be Never see Won't see what might have been What I've felt What I've known Never shined through in what I've shown Never free Never me So I dub thee unforgiven You labeled me I'll label you So I dub the unforgiven |

My brain is haunted by this scent
It takes me back to a past event It's like a drug that I need every day I need to preserve it, have to get it my way Forever I'll have this desire This scent - keeps me alive and fills my soul Forever engulfed by its fire This scent - consumes my mind and takes control The feelings I get when memory comes back Gives me something in my life I lack It takes me awat to the place I seek And my being reaches its highest peak I follow the trail it leaves behind Boxing it up is on my mind Preserving this scent is my aim I satisfy my senses, that scent must sustain |

Another day in the city of pain
Sharing the life of the mad and insane I'm closing my eyes in awe of the scenes I cover my ears in fear of their screams And I'm waiting The days does not end and so does the night That covers the streets in darkness and fright I'm staying awake while the city sleeps Watching the low life, the pimps and the creeps And I'm waiting Waiting in vain And I'm waiting For the cleansing rain And I'm praying Praying in vain And I'm praying For the cleansing rain And when I look up I can't see the sky Stormbringing clouds are piling up high Pouring red rain Forming pools of blood Bringing redemption of the last flood |

For the new skin Transgression Let the old flesh - Rotten to trash Resurrection Seize the old laws Riddled by flaws Perfection Open your mind Don't stay behind Progression Weakness - these days are over Old flesh - replaced by shiny armour New thoughts - the mind expanding Real tasks - that are demanding This body is invincible Perfection is the principle Feel the clockwork Of the new heart Precision Feed the engine Of your bloodstream Recondition Move your muscles Like a machine Direction Give your life A new dimension Extension Weakness - these days are over Old flesh - replaced by shiny armour New thoughts - the mind expanding Real tasks - that are demanding This body is invincible Perfection is the principle |

From me to you
From you to me Speaking flows And thinking seems free From me to you From class to class Speaking ways differ And chances pass Different speech Makes different minds Words do express Words do possess The power of temptation Supporting success There is new creation in mind There is new temptation in mind Words can distort Words can deceive Brought to perfection They change belief Words can control First thoughts then soul Help to prepare For the final goal A nation did rise A nation did fall A leader created New ideals for all There was a word There was an idea There was a belief That thinking is free |

In-a-gadda-da-vida baby
God is dead he lost the battle The devil rules over life and death Feel his power, feel his wrath Hell - this is the paradise of sin Fail - and you will suffer in pain Nail - that son of desaster Sell - your soul to the master In the garden of evil, baby The bilbe's title is helter skelter Take a ride on this rollercoaster Live for sin and die faster Wake - your evil twin Live - your wildest dream Let - the demons in Let - the madness begin |

Like a hermit - unfounded
Solitary but proud I was hiding - behind fences Shutting myself out Crossed my arm - disarmed Loss of self-defence Wouldn't fight off - haunting memories Crimes without a sense Closed my eyes - blind folded Images of hell Caught inside a vicious circle Retired in my shell Shut my mouth-lips sealed There's no need to tell Wouldn't share with you the secret That could break the shell Shellshocked - no escape from dreaming Shellshocked - there's no escape from dreaming |

Woke up - still in a dream
Nothing's the same Con't pronounce my name I open my mouth Words come out That make no sense For a stranger's ear In a foreign language In a foreign land Now I'm a alien On a different planet It makes it clear - I understand We are all strangers - in a foreign land Burn the bridges Forge ahead To the hilt Back home I feel insane Nothing's the same Except for my name I open my mouth Words come out That makes no sense For my lover's ear In my native language In my native land I'm still the alien On a different planet It make it clear - I understand I am a stranger - in my own land Burn the bridges Forge ahead To the hilt |

What is happening to me
No one could foresee I was living on the edge Of catastrophe Thrown off the system Nailed and bare Fish out of water Jumping for air Stranded with no help Outlawed and shunned Luck turned against me Thousand to one Some call it fate What's my reality World allied against me Fatal conspiracy I can't take it, I can't take it I can't take it no more Worst case scenario In the elevator to heaven I'm stuck On the lowest level run out of luck A downward spiral Is sucking me in My plans for the future A case for the bin No glimmering hope Brightens my night At the end of the tunnel There is no light Some call it fate What's my reality World allied against me Fatal conspiracy |

from The Blackest Album (2006)
Originally performed by Metallica
Lashing out the action, returning the reaction Weak are ripped and torn away Hypnotizing power, crushing all that cower Battery is here to stay Smashing through the boundaries Lunacy has found me Cannot stop the Battery Pounding out aggression Turns into obsession Cannot kill the Battery Cannot kill the family Battery is found me Battery Crushing all deceivers, mashing non-believers Never ending potency Hungry violence seeker, feeding off the weaker Breeding on insanity Circle of destruction, hammer comes crushing Powerhouse of energy Whipping up a fury, dominating flurry We create the Battery |
