⁣[Verse 1]
I've trampled on that road,
That you THINK, you own

You have that "smart ass" attitude,
It's time to STOP, the fiction


I live it every day,
While your mind's, FAR away,

I'm out HERE, putting PRIDE on the line
And you CASE on me with pure respect


One chance at one thing, hard time is coming
My time, your pain, I reign on you

[Chorus]
You think you OWN
I take away
Take it with me
You think you own
I took away
Made it my own

[Post-Chorus]x2
Most regular people would say
It's HARD
And any streetwise son of a bitch knows
DON'T FUCK, WITH THIS

[Verse 2]
There's been so many times, you practice in your mirror
To be just like ME, but you just can't see


You ain't got the BALLS, son!

I fight for love of BROTHER,
your friends fight one another

You can't see, because your head's up your ASS

And just in case, you think you're ''bad'',
I CRUSH your rush,
I RULE YOU, FOOL!
Immovable stone,
In your world of WEAK, I SPEAK

[Chorus]
You think you OWN
I take away
Take it with me
You think you own
I took away
Made it my own

[Post-Chorus]x2
Most regular people would say ..
It's HARD
And any streetwise son of a bitch knows
DON'T - FUCK - WITH - THIS

[Solo]

[Chorus]
Most regular people would say it's hard
And any streetwise son of a bitch knows
Don't fuck with this

[Post-Chorus]
Most regular people would say it's hard
And any streetwise son of a bitch knows
Don't fuck with this

[Outro]
Don't fuck with this

⁣There once was a woman
A strange kind of woman
The kind that gets written down in history
Her name was Nancy
Her face was nothing fancy
She left a trail of happiness and misery

I loved her
Everybody loved her
She loved everyone and gave them good return
I tried to take her
I even tried to break her
She said, I ain't for takin' won't you ever learn

I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you
I spent my money as I took my turn
I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you
Ooh, I got a strange kind of woman

She looked like a raver
But I could never please her
On Wednesday mornings boy you can't go far
I couldn't get her
But things got better, she said
Saturday nights from now on, baby, you're my star

I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you
I spent my money as I took my turn
I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you
Ooh, I got a strange kind of woman

Ooh, my soul, I love you

I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you
I spent my money as I took my turn
I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you
Ooh, I got a strange kind of woman

She finally said she loved me
I wed her in a hurry
No more callers and I glow with pride
I'm dreaming
I feel like screaming
I won my woman just before she died

I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you
I spent my money as I took my turn
I want you, I need you, ha ha ha
Ooh, I had a strange kind of woman

⁣Don't claim to be a prophet
Don't claim to read the stars
But I can see a future
Mapped out in scars
Look to the skies
Keep praying to your gods
Your only salvation
Will come in the shape of the bomb

No clockwork orange
The doom watch ticks
There's no second coming
Only final conflict
Blind pessimism?
Only time will tell
The cold hard reality
Is that this world had gone to hell

And this is where I belong
In my room one zero one
As I sit here all alone
In my own private year zero

These numbers branded
Embedded in the mind
How can your herald a future
When it's already arrived?
Keep looking to the skies
Keep waiting for your lord
You fools there's no second coming
To redeem you all

And this is where I belong
In my room one zero one
As I sit here all alone
In my own private year zero

Don't claim to be a prophet
Don't claim to sight the stars
But I can read the future
In anguished mental scars
I have no faith
In anything that you hold dear
The future is ours
Only in sweat and tears
And this is where I belong
In my room one zero one
As I sit here all alone
In my own private year zero

And this is where I belong
In my room one zero one
As I sit here all alone
In my own private year zero

⁣When a man lies,
He murders some part of the world
These, are the pale deaths,
Which men miscall their lives

All this, I cannot bear to witness, any longer...


Cannot the kingdom of salvation, take me home?

⁣1 July 2013 Athens, Greece

⁣[Intro]
One, two, three, four

[Verse 1]
Almost every day
I see the same face
On broken picture tube
It fits the attitude
If you could see yourself
You put you on a shelf
Your verbal masturbate
Promise to nauseate
Today I'll play the part of non-parent
Not make a hundred rules
For you to know about yourself
Not lie and make you believe what's evil
Is making love and making friends
And meeting God your own way, the right way

[Chorus]
To see
To bleed
Cannot be taught
In turn
You're making us
Ah, fucking hostile!
We stand alone

[Verse 2]
The truth in right and wrong
The boundaries of the law
You seem to miss the point
Arresting for a joint?
You seem to wonder why
Hundreds of people die
You're writing tickets man
My mom got jumped they ran
Now I'll play a public servant
To serve and protect
By the law and the state
I'd bust the punks
That rape steal and murder
And leave you be
If you crossed me, I'd shake your hand like a man
Not a God

[Chorus]
To see
To bleed
Cannot be taught
In turn
You're making us
Ah, fucking hostile!
We stand alone

[Solo]

[Verse 3]
Come meet your maker, boy
Some things you can't enjoy
Because of heaven, hell
A fucking wives' tale
They put it in your head
Then put you in your bed
He's watching, say your prayers
'Cause God is everywhere
Now I'll play a man learning priesthood
About to take the ultimate test in life
I question things because I am human
And call no one my father who's no closer that a stranger
I won't listen

[Chorus]
To see
To bleed
Cannot be taught
In turn
You're making us

[Outro]
Fucking!
Fucking!
Fucking!
Fucking hostile!

Dear mother, dear father
What is this hell you have put me through?
Believer, deceiver
Day in, day out, lived my life through you
Pushed onto me what's wrong or right
Hidden from this thing that they call life
Dear mother, dear father
Every thought I'd think you'd disapprove
Curator, dictator
Always censoring my every move
Children are seen but are not heard
Tear out everything inspired

[Refrain]
Innocence, torn from me without your shelter
Barred reality, I'm living blindly

[Verse 2]
Dear mother, dear father
Time has frozen still, what's left to be?
Hear nothing, say nothing
Cannot face the fact I think for me
No guarantee it's life as is
But damn you for not giving me my chance
Dear mother, dear father
You clipped my wings before I learned to fly
Unspoiled, unspoken
I've outgrown that fucking lullaby
Same thing I've always heard from you
Do as I say, not as I do

[Refrain]
Innocence, torn from me without your shelter
Barred reality, I'm living blindly

I'm in hell without you
Cannot cope without you two
Shocked at the world that I see
Innocent victim, please rescue me

Dear mother, dear father
Hidden in your world you've made for me
I'm seething, I'm bleeding
Ripping wounds in me that never heal
Undying spite I feel for you
Living out this hell you always knew

FOOT NOTES (from GeniusLyrics):

⁣“Dyer’s Eve”, one of the thrashiest tracks on …And Justice For All, is its closer. It takes the format of an angry, accusatory letter penned by the hand of a child whose fragile psyche was wounded during the developmental phase of life by the very ones who were supposed to be protecting and guiding him.
The lyrics are a rant from James Hetfield against his parents. His father left the family when James was only 13 years old and his mother died of cancer when he was 16. She refused treatment because of her beliefs as a Christian Scientist. James also felt his parents had never allowed him to discover the world for himself because their religion encouraged “insulating and alienating.”
When Rolling Stone told Hetfield “…you never fell into the I-hate-my-parents and I-hate-school cliches,” he responded:

There is one song I can specifically disagree with you on, “Dyers Eve”. There is a lot of blame in that song … That song was about being in a cocoon, and now that I’m out on my own, oh, my God, the world is shocking me. I don’t know how to deal with this stuff. I don’t know how to deal with grief, poverty, confrontation. How to live on my own, after father leaving, mother dying.

The band did not perform this song live in its entirety until March 5, 2004 when they played it at the Great Western Forum in Los Angeles during Metallica’s Madly in Anger with the World tour.

⁣[Verse 1]
There's a DOUBLE STANDARD,
For the way we live
If there's nothing to HAVE?
Well, then.. there's NOTHING to give..
I'll break a SWEAT, and I don't regret
What you'd kill to SEE, brings out the GOD, in me

[Chorus]
Come and be with me
Live my ''twisted'' dream
Pro-devoted pledge
Time for PRIMAL, concrete sledge

[Verse 2]
The MAN, of a THOUSAND retirements
Will ALWAYS, be the one, to tell you when to quit
I WON'T take stock, in a withered man
I'm reaching into YOU

I'll make you understand

[Chorus]
Come and be with me
Live my ''twisted dream''
Pro-devoted PLEDGE
Time for primal - concrete - sledge

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Come, and be with me

⁣[Verse 1]
Across a painted DESERT, lies
a ''TRAIN''... of VAGABONDS!

ALL THAT'S LEFT..
Of what we WERE

It's what WE HAVE BECOME..

Once, our empires, GLORIOUS,
But NOW, the empire's..

GONE

The DEAD, gave us the time, to LIVE!
And NOW..
''Our'' time, is

DONE

[Pre-Chorus]
NOW, we are ''victorious'',
We've become our SLAVES

A land of ''hope and glory''.. building GRAVEYARDS, for the ''brave''

[Chorus]
Have you SEEN!
The WRITING, on THE WALL?
Have you SEEN, THAT writing?
Can you SEE, the riders on the STORM??
Can you see them riding?
Can you see them riding ?

Holding, onto FURY
Is that ALL, we ever know..

IGNORANCE,
Our JUDGE, and JURY
ALL, we've got to show!

From HOLLYWOOD,
To BABYLON,

''HOLY WAR'', to KINGDOM COME

On a trail of DUST AND ASHES,
When the BURNING SKY, is DONE

A TIDE OF CHANGE IS COMING

And THAT, is what YOU FEAR!

The EARTHQUAKE, IS, a-COMING!
But YOU DON'T WANT TO HEAR!!

You're just TOO BLIND, TO SEE

[Chorus]
Have you seen the writing on the wall?
Have you seen that writing?
Can you see the riders on the storm?
Can you see them riding?
Can you see them riding?
Riding next to you

Have you seen the writing on the wall?
Have you seen that writing?
Can you see the riders on the storm?
Can you see them riding?

Riding, next to you

Have you seen the writing on the wall?
Have you seen that writing?
Can you see the riders on the storm?
Can you see them riding?
Can you see them riding?

Riding..

NEXT, TO YOU.

If you live with apes, man..
It's HARD, to be clean

(Ah, ah)

[Verse 2]
The WORMS will live, in EVERY host..
It's hard to pick which one THEY hate, the most!

The HORRIBLE PEOPLE,
THE HORRIBLE PEOPLE!!

It's ALL,
ANATOMIC,

As THE SIZE OF YOUR STEEPLE!

''Capitalism''..
Has made it, this way..

Old-fashioned FASCISM.. will TAKE IT AWAY !

[Chorus]

⁣HEY!
YOU!
WHAT, do you SEE?

Something beautiful?
Or something ''free''?

⁣HEY..
YOU!
Are you TRYING, to be MEAN??

If you live with apes, man.. it's HARD, to be clean..

[Pre-Chorus]
⁣There's NO time, to 'discriminate'..
Hate EVERY MOTHERFUCKER, that's, in YOUR WAY!

[Bridge]
(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
The beautiful people, the beautiful people (Ah)
The beautiful people, the beautiful people (Ah)
The beautiful people, the beautiful people (Ah)
The beautiful people, the ''BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE!!'' (Ah)

[Chorus]
⁣HEY!
YOU!
WHAT, do you SEE?

Something ''beautiful''?
Or something ''free''?

⁣HEY..
YOU!
Are you TRYING, to be MEAN??

If you live with apes, man.. it's HARD, to be clean

⁣HEY!
YOU!
WHAT, do you SEE?

Something beautiful?
Or something ''free''?

⁣HEY!
YOU!!
Are you TRYING, to be MEAN?

If you live with apes, man.. it's HARD, to be CLEAN

[Outro]
The beautiful people, the beautiful people
The beautiful people, the beautiful people
The beautiful people, the beautiful people
The beautiful people, the beautiful people..

⁣(whispered):
Don't talk to strangers!

Mmmmh

Don't TALK, to STRANGERS

'Cause they're ONLY THERE

To do you HARM

DON'T write, in starlight..
'Cause the words, may come out, REAL

DON'T hide, in doorways..
You may find, the KEY..
That opens UP, your SOUL!

DON'T GO, to ''heaven''..
..'Cause it's really, only HELL!

(meow)

DON'T smell, the ''flowers''..
They're an EVIL DRUG
..To MAKE - you - LOSE - YOUR - MIND

DON'T DREAM, OF WOMEN ..

'Cause they'll ONLY BRING YOU DOOOOOOOOOWN !


Hey, YOU

YOU know ME

You've touched ME

I'm REAL

I'm

FOREVER ..

The ONE, that lets you LOOK, and SEE,

..And FEEL, me..

I'm
DANGER

I'm,
The Stranger

And, I ..

I'm DARKNESS

I'm IRE/anger

I'm PAIN

I

Am MASTER

The ''evil'' song, you SING, INSIDE, YOUR, BRAIN..

Drive you, ''INSANE''..

DON'T - TALK! ..

DON'T LET THEM INSIDE YOUR MIND! , yeah..

RUN AWAY, RUN AWAY, GOOO!


(gtr solo)


NO, NOoo...
DON'T LET THEM! IN, YOUR MIND! ..

PROTECT! your SOOOOOOUUUULLL!!


(gtr)

DON'T dance, in Darkness!..
You may stumble AND, you're SURE, to fall !

DON'T write, in starlight..
'Cause the WORDS, may come out.. REAL!!

DON'T TALK, TO STRANGERS
(DON'T talk, to strangers)

'Cause they're ONLY there

To make YOU SAD

DON'T DREAM, OF WOMEN..

..'Cause they'll only bring you DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWN

YEAH!

RUN
RUN
RUN
RUN AWAAAAAY!!!

⁣PASSENGER, on confessional course
UNLOCK, with the KEY, YOU behold, WITHIN
REPAIR, the SHADOW, of your MIND..

And come, AWAKE!

Oh, dreadful ANGEL, of MINE
ENRICH ME, WITH the VASTNESS, of (your) BEING..

RIGID! FATHER, TEACH ME, how to comprehend..
I'll COMMIT myself, to UNDERSTAND!
To be FAITHFUL, AND, The Instrument
So that the ones, with BLINDFOLD

Can SEE
What I, have SEEN

That there
Is
NOTHING, in BETWEEN..
For I, am, The Accomplice!

Aghast and tender, INDULGED, in SIN
EMBRACED by loneliness, LEGIONS, who GRIN
I blunder, into the realms, of SLUMBER
I collide, with the OBSCURE..

And SEE, the LAST, fractions of LIGHT, go by ..


(gtr solo)


PLUNDERING, the SA - NI - TY, from the INSANE!!
(And) providing ''appearances'', in BLACK
Carefully swept, in DECADENT spheres..
But FACES, in this world, ALWAYS REMAIN.. DARKENED

(choir)

Spoken, gravely:
'' In circles,
Of DOMINANCE,
Emotional, DEEPS unite..
Fiction and transcendence, WOVEN..

TOGETHER

In the essence of PURITY, lies WISDOM..

JOIN THE FORCES ..

THE, Spiritual, Black, Dimensions! ''


(gtr solo)


What more!, Do you need of PROOF!
HUMAN hands, conforming, cloven hoofs,
..For I know the SECRETS and LIES, behind ALL TRUTHS

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER
And the POWER, is MINE..

It's ALL MINE!!

So let the CHILDREN, come to me..
And share the LIMITLESS WAYS, to INFINITY
ESCAPE!, Death and Disease!
And BEHOLD ..

Youth, and VITALITY!

Oh, Dreadful Angel, of mine!..
Enrich ME, with the VASTNESS, of..
Your BEING!

RIGID! FATHER,
TEACH ME, how to comprehend..
I'll COMMIT,
MYSELF,
TO, UNDERSTAND!

(For I Am, The Accomplice...)
