Helpless
(Tatler, Harris)
I gotta see you moving fast
See you come my way
See the dreams, I hope they last
Never fade away.
Gotta see the lights above
Make it loud tonight
Gotta set it all a-fire
Set it all a-light
See the flashing lights
Hear the thunder roar
I am gonna set you all a-light
Gotta make it man
I ain’t got a choice
Gotta fill this hall tonight
Helpless
Helpless
Helpless
Helpless
I don’t what I’m gonna do
Maybe not tonight
Gotta set you all a-fire
Gotta treat you right.
I can see the flashing lights
Lit before your love, oh
Gotta hear the thunder roar
Coming from above.
See the flashing lights
Hear the thunder roar
I am gonna set you all alight
Gotta make it man
I ain’t got no choice
Gotta fill this hall tonight
Helpless
Helpless
Helpless
Helpless
I can see the stars
I can see what’s going on
Every night alone
I sing my song just for fun.
Only time will tell
If I’ll make it myself someday
This stage is mine
Music is my destiny.
Cannot squeeze the life from me!
I can see the lights
But I can see what’s going on
Every night alone
I sing my song just for fun.
Business in collapse
Some men don’t like it so
Helpless maybe babe,
But you can leave or join the show.
Cannot squeeze the life from me!
The Small Hours
(Holocaust)
Look out at the darkness,
And you will see,
Just call my name and I’ll be there.
You cannot touch me,
You would not dare,
I am the chill that’s in the air.
And I try to get through to you,
In my own special way,
As the barriers crumble,
At the end of the day.
Dark rivers are flowing,
Back into the past,
You are the fish for which I cast.
And what of the future,
What is to be,
As the rivers flow into the sea.
And I try to get through to you,
In my own special way,
As the barriers crumble,
At the end of the day.
Do not take for granted,
Powers out there,
Don’t step into the demon's lair.
Time is an illusion,
Rising from time,
Steep is the mountain which we climb.
The Wait
(Killing Joke)
Motives changing
Day to day
The fire increases
Masks decay
I look at the river
White foam floats down
The body’s poisoned
Got to sit tight
The wait
The wait
The wait
The wait
After awakening
The silence grows
The screams subside
Distortion shows
Mutant thoughts
Of bad mouthed news
Just another birth
Of distorted views
The wait
The wait
The wait
The wait
Crash Course In Brain Surgery
(Budgie)
Look inside and you will see
The words are cutting deep inside my brain
Thunder burnin’ quickly burning
Knife of words is driving me insane, insane yeah
Raven black is on my track
He shows me how to neutralize the knife
Show to me in surgery
The art of fighting words to conquer life, conquer life yeah
Now the wicked lance of fear
Is driven from my heady mountain brain
Crash course in brain surgery
Has stopped the bloody knife of words again yeah, yeah, yeah
Last Caress/Green Hell
(Glenn Danzig)
"Last Caress"
I got something to say
I killed your baby today
And it doesn’t matter much to me
As long as it’s dead
I got something to say
I raped your mother today
And it doesn’t matter much to me
As long as she spread
Ooh, lovely death
Just waiting for your breath
Come sweet death, one last caress
Ooh, lovely death
Just waiting for your breath
Come sweet death, one last caress
I got something to say
I killed your baby today
And it doesn’t matter much to me
As long as it’s dead
Ooh, lovely death
Just waiting for your breath
Come sweet death, one last caress
One last caress, sweet death
"Green Hell"
Here in this place lies the key to your death
Touch it, see it, whoa
Here in this place is a means to your end
Touch it, feel it
Green Hell
You’ve come to this as no one could
I bet you never knew you would
And don’t you run away from it
I bet you thought you really could
We’re gonna burn in Hell
Green Hell Green Hell
Like every Hell but kind of green
Green Hell Green Hell
Try let me get back up there
Green Hell Green Hell
Feel it burning in your cereal
Green Hell Green Hell
Throw our fuckin’ friends inside
Green Hell Green Hell
Gotta fuckin’ pay and you must stay
Green Hell Green Hell
Cannot forget about the best
Green Hell Green Hell
Hell is reigning in your blood
Green Hell Green Hell
Gotta burn in Hell
Green Hell
You’ve come to this like no one could
I bet you never knew you would
And don’t you run away from it
I bet you thought you really knew
Here in this place lies the key to your death
Touch it, see it, whoa
Here in this place you won't let it end
Touch it, feel it
Green Hell
You’ve come to this like no one could
I bet you never knew you would
And don’t you run away from it
I bet you thought you really could
You’ve come to this as no one could
I bet you never knew you would
We’re gonna burn in Hell
Green Hell
NOTE: I am unsure of the exact lyrics to “Green Hell.” The source I used had a few mistakes and James Hetfield sings the song incredibly and unintelligibly fast. As soon as I can find better lyrics, I will post them here. If you have the exact lyrics to anything in the Lyrics Area that you think is wrong, send them to Lord Anarchy.
