Classic song, opening track of the Black Album, the most mainstream release of the band so far (and hopefully for ever). Great clip along with one of the most popular riffs in heavy metal history! Too popular for me, but the track rocks hard! The song went straight on the top of the most popular charts lists around, like Billboard Hot 100, Mainstream Rock Tracks, Modern Rock Tracks, UK Top 40 and more. Simple and brilliant structure, a lovely song for big venues!
Composer: James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett }{ Year: 1991
Lyrics:
Say your prayers little one
Don't forget my son
To include everyone
I tuck you in
Warm within
Keep you free from sin
'Til the sandman he comes
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never never-land
Something's wrong, shut the light
Heavy thoughts tonight
And they aren't of snow white
Dreams of war
Dreams of lies
Dreams of dragons fire
And of things that will bite, yeah
Sleep with one eye open
Grippin' your pillow tight
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never never-land
(Whisper)
Now I lay me down to sleep (x2)
Pray the lord my soul to keep (x2)
And if I die before I wake (x2)
Pray the lord my soul to take (x2)
Hush little baby don't say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
It's just the beast under your bed
In your closet in your head
Exit light
Enter night
Grain of sand
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never never-land
We're off to never never-land
Take my hand
We're off to never never-land
Take my hand
We're off to never never-land
We're off to never never-land
