**\[Verse 1: James Hetfield\]**
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!
**\[Outro: James Hetfield\]**
A moth into the flame
