“The Call of Ktulu” by Metallica
“The Call of Ktulu” by Metallica
(another song of how i feel all the time)

In my hour of need
Ha! You’re not there
And though I reached out for You
Wouldn’t lend a hand
Through the darkest hour
Grace did not shine on me
It feels so cold, very cold
No one cares for me
Did you ever think I get lonely?
Did you ever think that I needed love?
Did you ever think to stop thinking
You’re the only one that I’m thinking of?
You’ll never know how hard I tried
To find my space and satisfy you too
Things will be better when I’m dead and gone
Don’t try to understand, knowing you I’m probably wrong
But oh, how I lived my life for you
Still you’d turn away
Now as I die for you
My flesh still crawls as I breathe your name
All these years I thought I was wrong
Now I know it was you
Raise your head, raise your face, your eyes
Tell me who you think you are, who?
I walk, I walk alone
Into the promised land
There’s a better place for me
But it’s far, far away
Everlasting life for me
In a perfect world
But I gotta die first
Please God, send me on my way
Time has a way of taking time
Loneliness is not only felt by fools
Alone I call to ease the pain
Yearning to be held by you, alone, so alone, I’m lost
Consumed by the pain
The pain, the pain, the pain
Won’t you hold me again
You just laughed, ha, ha, b*tch
My whole life is work built on the past
But the time has come when all things shall pass
This good thing passed away
In My Darkest Hour

lol, surprising how many people who claim to like Metallica and Cliff sort of write off what he says here in favor of caring what other people think
(i think this album is over-rated and unadventurous, but this song is cthonic, which can make up for the otherwise boring-ness of the album)

Messenger of fear in sight
Dark deception kills the light
Hybrid children watch the sea
Pray for father roaming free
Fearless wretch, insanity
He watches, lurking beneath the sea
Great Old One, forbidden sight
He searches, Hunter of the Shadows
Is rising
Immortal
In madness you dwell
Crawling chaos underground
Cult has summoned, twisted sound
Out from ruins once possessed
Fallen city, living death
Fearless wretch, insanity
He watches, lurking beneath the sea
Timeless sleep has been upset
He wakens, Hunter of the Shadows
Is rising
Immortal
In madness you dwell
“Not dead which eternal lie
Stranger eons, death may die”
Drain you of your sanity
Face the Thing That Should Not Be!
Fearless wretch, insanity
He watches, lurking beneath the sea
Great Old One, forbidden sight
He searches, Hunter of the Shadows
Is rising, ha ha!
Immortal
In madness you dwell
Oh my God!
In madness you dwell
Whoa, whoa, ah-ahahahaha!!! Whoa!
Fearless wretch, insanity!
He watches, lurking beneath the sea
Great Old One, forbidden sight
He searches, Hunter of the Shadows
Is rising, ha ha!
Immortal
In madness we dwell
Face the Thing That Should Not Be!

“Am I Evil?” (originally by Diamond Head) by Metallica
(I’m thankful for Metallica, and as a Thanksgiving treat, here is the song they never played live…finally live!)

Feel no pain, but my life ain’t easy
I know I’m my best friend
No one cares, but I’m so much stronger
I’ll fight until the end
To escape from the true false world
Undamaged destiny
Can’t get caught in the endless circle
Ring of stupidity
Out of my own, out to be free
One with my mind, they just can’t see
No need to hear things that they say
Life’s for my own to live my own way
Rape my mind and destroy my feelings
Don’t tell my what to do
I don’t care now, ‘cause I’m on my side
And I can see through you
Feed my brain with your so called standards
Who says that I ain’t right
Break away from your common fashion
See through your blurry sight
Out of my own, out to be free
One with my mind, they just can’t see
No need to hear things that they say
Life’s for my own to live my own way
See them try to bring the hammer down
No damn chains can hold me to the ground
Life’s for my own to live my own way
Life’s for my own to live my own way
Life’s for my own to live my own way
Life’s for my own to live my own way
Life’s for my own to live my own way


“Creeping Death” by Metallica

(Well, since our last post was about nuclear holocausts, this seemed appropriate)

Do unto others
As they’ve done to you
But what the hell is
This world coming to?
Blow the universe
Into nothingness
Nuclear warfare
Shall lay us to rest
Fight Fire with Fire
Ending is near
Fight Fire with Fire
Burning with fear
We all shall die!
Time is like a fuse
Short and burning fast
Armageddon’s here
Like said in the past
Fight Fire with Fire
Ending is near
Fight Fire with Fire
Burning with fear
Soon to fill our lungs
The hot winds of death
The gods are laughing
So take your last breath
Fight Fire with Fire
Ending is near
Fight Fire with Fire
Burning with fear
Fight Fire with Fire
Fight Fire with Fire
Fight Fire with Fire
Fight Fire with Fire
Fight Fire with Fire
Fight Fire with Fire
Fight Fire with Fire
Fight Fire with Fire
Fight!
