[Verse 1: James Hetfield]
Blacked out Pop queen, amphetamine The screams crashed into silence Tapped out Doused in the gasoline The high times going timeless Decadence Death of the innocence The pathway starts to spiral Infamy All for publicity Destruction going viral [Bridge 2] Light it up Ah light it up Another hit erases all the pain Bulletproof Ah, kill the truth You're falling, but you think you're flying high High again [Chorus] Sold your soul Built a higher wall Yesterday Now you're thrown away Same rise and fall Who cares at all? Seduced by fame A moth into the flame [Verse 2: James Hetfield] Twisted Backstabbing wicked The delusion absolution Perjure Fame is the murderer Seduce you into ruin |
[Bridge: James Hetfield]
Light it up Ah light it up Another hit erases all the pain Bulletproof Ah, kill the truth You're falling, but you think you're flying high High again [Verse 3: James Hetfield] Guarantee your name, you go and kill yourself
The vultures feast around you still Overdose on shame and insecurity If one won't do that fistful will [solo] [Verse 4: James Hetfield] Death scene
Black hearse the limousine A grave filled with seduction Vaccine Fame does the murdering She builds up for destruction [Bridge 2] Light it up Ah light it up Another hit erases all the pain Bulletproof Ah, kill the truth You're falling, but you think you're flying high High again [Chorus]
Sold your soul Built a higher wall Yesterday Now you're thrown away Same rise and fall Who cares at all? Seduced by fame A moth into the flame [Chorus: James Hetfield] Smile as it burns to the ground The perfect don't want you around Question yourself, you may learn You are the witch, you must burn You must burn!

[Verse 1]
Life it seems to fade away Drifting further everyday Getting lost within myself Nothing matters no one else I have lost the will to live Simply nothing more to give There is nothing more for me Need the end to set me free [Verse 2] Things not what they used to be Missing one inside of me Deathly loss this can't be real Cannot stand this hell I feel Emptiness is filling me To the point of agony Growing darkness taking dawn I was me but now, he's gone [Verse 3] No one but me can save myself, but its too late Now I can't think, think why I should even try |

[Verse 1: James Hetfield]
Were scanning the scene in the city tonight We are looking for you to start up a fight There is an evil feeling in our brains But it is nothing new you know it drives us insane [Pre-Chorus] Running, on our way hiding You will pay dying One thousand deaths Running, on our way hiding You will pay dying One thousand deaths [Chorus] Searching, Seek and destroy Searching, Seek and destroy Searching, Seek and destroy Searching, Seek and destroy [Verse 2: James Hetfield] There is no escape and that is for sure This is the end we won't take any more Say goodbye to the world you live in You have always been taking But now you're giving |
[Verse 3]
Our brains are on fire with the feeling to kill And it will not go away until our dreams are fulfilled There is only one thing on our minds Don't try running away 'cause you're the one we will find [Verse 3: James Hetfield] Guarantee your name, you go and kill yourself
The vultures feast around you still Overdose on shame and insecurity If one won't do that fistful will [solo] [Verse 3]

[Verse 1: James Hetfield]
I, I am desperation
Need it so bad today I, I am isolation Static and disarray Need this, gotta have more Crawlin' out my skin Sickness, scarring returns Burning me again [Chorus] Too far gone Am I too far gone? Am I too far gone to save? Help me make it through the day [Verse 2] I, I am tribulation Digging down to the bone I, I am agitation Never leaves me alone Keep on, push it along Don't want to feel this Sink in, start to believe That I don't exist |

[Verse 1: James Hetfield]
Catch a fire and burn all the misery Foul fingers spin mob mentality Anger on the rise as the flames grow higher Choke on the smoke of the funeral pyre Backfire [Pre-Chorus: James Hetfield] Killing all we've learned History will burn Burn it [Chorus] Smile as it burns to the ground The perfect don't want you around Question yourself, you may learn Who's the next witch you must burn? You must burn! [Verse 2: James Hetfield] In the name of hell, henchmen to conspire Black figures loom as a dark desire Inquisition served, build your enemy Tied to the stake, torching heresy Flame out |
[Chorus: James Hetfield]
Smile as it burns to the ground The perfect don't want you around Question yourself, you may learn You are the witch, you must burn You must burn! [Bridge: James Hetfield & Robert Trujillo] In the heat of the night In the moon's shining light Feed the appetite In the heat of the night In the moon's shining light Feed the appetite [Guitar Solo] [Chorus: James Hetfield] Smile as it burns to the ground The perfect don't want you around Question yourself, you may learn You are the witch, you must burn You must burn! [Outro: James Hetfield]
You must burn! You must burn! You must burn! |
