Cyanide

[TheDarkSide]

Here's the first song released at Ozzfest this past weekend off Metallica's new album Death Magnetic ( in stores Sept 12th ). And here are the lyrics for the most part as well as a link for the song . I like it even though it takes a few listens to get a feel for the song ..

Metallica - Cyanide - Lyrics

Sleep and dream of this
Death angel's kiss
Brings final bliss
Don't believe it!

Empty are they
Death won't you let me stay
Empty they say
Death won't you call your name
CALL YOUR NAME!

Suicide
I've already died
It's just the funeral I've been waiting for
Cyanide
Living dead inside
Break this empty shell forevermore

Wait, wait patiently
Your death black wings
Unfolding spread
Spreading on me

Empty they say
Death won't you let me stay
Empty they say
Death hear me call your name
CALL YOUR NAME!

Suicide
I've already died
It's just the funeral I've been waiting for
Cyanide
Living dead inside
Break this empty shell forevermore

Say is that rain or are these tears
They stain your concrete face for years
Crying, weeping, shedding strife
Year after year, life after life

An air of freshly broken ground
A concrete angel is laid right now
A calm anew that swallows fast
It's peace at last, oh peace at last

Empty they say
Death won't you let me stay
Empty they say
Death hear me call your name
CALL YOUR NAME!

Suicide
I've already died
It's just the funeral I've been waiting for
Cyanide
Living dead inside
Break this empty shell forevermore

Forevermore
Forevermore
Just the funeral I've been waiting for

I'm somewhat disappointed. Then again, I don't know what I was expecting. They should've quit after the black album.

The black album is referring to "Metallica" album, 1991 iirc?

[TheDarkSide]

Like that one ?? Thats suppossed to be the weakest song on the album from a review I was reading .. So hopefully Old Metallica are back at last ..


:jig:

[asdfgah]

Yeah I like it. Should sound even better on the album.
Supposed to be the weakest song on the album? That bodes well :)

I'm terribly underwhelmed with Metallica's more recent "efforts."




I'm not a big 'Tallica fan, but none of the new stuff would even get close to taking the place of MoP on any Metal playlist...

I've never been a fan of depressing or unhappy music. All the lyrics on the song are about suicide, funerals, death, empty, living dead inside etc etc etc. Can't see the pleasure in listening to it myself.

How about a song about A MILLION EXPLODING SUNS (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijpBMB7euRI)...among other things.

That kind of lyrics fit into metal music; wouldn't it be hilarious to sing about beautiful things and play aggressive music? Those kind of songs can make you feel good - not neccesarely because of lyrics - but because you can feel the power of music! RAWWR!

Metallica made their last really good album in '88, so I wouldn't expect too much. ;)
