METALLICA

- Cyanide Lyrics

Sleep and dream of this
Death angel's kiss
Brings final bliss
Completely

Empty they say
Death, won't you let me stay?
Empty they say
Death, hear me call your name
Ooh, call your name

Suicide, I've already died
You're 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 sleep
Spreading o'er me

Empty they say
Death, won't you let me stay?
Empty they say
Death, hear me call your name
Ooh, call your name

Suicide, I've already died
You're just the funeral I've been waiting for
Cyanide, living dead inside
Break this empty shell forevermore
Say, is that rain or are they tears?
That stained your concrete face for years
The crying, weeping, shedding strife
Year after year, life after life

An air of freshly broken ground
A concrete angel lit right down
Upon the grave which 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
It's just the funeral I've been waiting for

azazelnydm What are you talking about? Metallica is awesome. It's more like everything else in heavy metal (fans & bands) conforms to Metallica.

One of my favorite songs. However, my favorite Metallica song, and favorite song overall, is Fade to Black. That song literally saved my life. (It stopped me from committing suicide.)
