LYRICS
Spineless from the start
Sucked into the part
Circus comes to town
You play the lead clown
Please, please
Spreading his disease
Living by his story
Knees, knees
Falling to your knees
Suffer for his glory
You will
Time for lust, time for lie
Time to kiss your life goodbye
Send me money, send me green
Heaven you will meet
Make a contribution
And you’ll get the better seat
Bow to Leper Messiah
Marvel at his tricks
Need your Sunday fix
Blind devotion came
Rotting your brain
Chain, chain
Join the endless chain
Taken by his glamour
Fame, fame
Infection is the game
Stinking drunk with power
We see
Time for lust, time for lie
Time to kiss your life goodbye
Send me money, send me green
Heaven you will meet
Make a contribution
And you’ll get the better seat
Bow to Leper Messiah
Witchery
Weakening
Sees the sheep are gathering
Set the trap
Hypnotize
Now you follow
Time for lust, time for lie
Time to kiss your life goodbye
Send me money, send me green
Heaven you will meet
Make a contribution
And you’ll get the better seat
Lie

Più grande band del mondo anche oggi
they have clearly edited this. james is struggling a lot more than it appears afterward, he should be resting his voice in this condition. some basel '93 level of difficulty here and i feel bad
Always dug this song since it came out, great lyrics, great riffs, simple punchy drums, straight to the point.
yeah
I could have sworn that I saw a video from one of the Las Vegas sphere shows where Metallica plays a song in one of the shows that incorporated the “real rain- effects” that are possible at the Las Vegas Sphere l.
From what I’ve been able to scrounge up as far as set lists and AI driven searches that summarize the Metallica shows and their usage of the immersive 4D multimedia capabilities that the Las Vegas Sphere offers, including the ability to physically produce rainfall on the band performing on stage during certain songs on both the band and the audience as well.
The problem is, I cannot remember which song and to which YouTube channel the video of it was posted whether it was the official Metallica channel or some other YouTube channel, can anyone help me out here, maybe I am I just wrong and I am just seeing this incorrectly?
Happy Birthday Metallica !
O/
The middle section of this song takes me to another dimension
I can't get past the first riff before bursting into Love!!!! ♥️🩷💋
Lars man😩😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I've never seen the sparkly mummy before.
One of their most underrated songs. This, Orion and The Thing That Should Not Be were me favorites on Master of Puppets.
Fuck yeah! Still burns red hot like the day it came out of the fire 🔥 eet fuk!
My favourite Metallica song!!!
