Metallica

When the words have all been said
When you made up all your bed
When the codes have all been cracked
When you double-back your tracks

So, what now?
Where go I?

When it seems it’s all said and done
When the storm is up and gone (up and gone)
When the battle has moved on (has moved on)
When the races have been run (have been run)
When the songs have all been sung (have been sung)

So, what now? (So, what now?)
Where go I? (Where go I?)

When it seems it’s all said and done

Stop the fire
Stop the fire
Spot the wire
Come on, stop the fire

You drank the dirty water
You put the fire out
You drank the dirty water
You put your fire out

When the room has hit so clean
When the scenes have all been seen
When the rows have all been cleared
When the fears are all unfeard

And what now?
Where go I?

When it seems it’s all said and done

When the pieces have been matched (have been matched)
When the itches have been scratched (have been scratched)
When the courses have been run (have been run)
When the songs have all been sung (have been sung)

So, what now? (So, what now?)
Where go I? (Where go I?)

When it seems it’s all said and done

Oh

Stop the fire
Stop the fire
Spot the wire
Stop the fire

You drank the dirty water
You put the fire out
You drank the dirty water
And you put the fire out

On your feet, or on your knees
Freedom is just one of these

Stop the fire
Stop the fire
Spot the wire
Stop the fire

You drank the dirty water
You put the fire out
You drank the dirty water
You put your fire out, yeah

Like Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden before, Metallica has managed to transcend the genre from which it was originated. To their metal fanbase they are considered one of the Big Four bands of thrash metal, alongside Megadeth, Anthrax and Slayer; however Metallica is also one of the most commercially successful bands in all of rock music, having sold 110 million records including the 16x platinum Metallica, which stands as both the highest selling metal album of all time and most successful album of the past 25 years.

Metallica was formed in 1981 in Los Angeles after drummer Lars Ulrich placed an advert in the classifieds newspaper The Recycler, which was answered by singer/rhythm guitarist James Hetfield. They were soon joined by lead guitarist Dave Mustaine, who later formed Megadeth after being kicked out of the band because of his substance and alchohol abuse, and bassist Ron McGovney, a childhood friend of Hetfield. These two early members were replaced with Cliff Burton (who relocated the band to San Francisco) and ex-Exodus lead guitarist, Kirk Hammett to form the band’s classic line-up.

The band released three albums, 1983’s Kill ‘Em All, 1984’s Ride The Lightning and 1986’s Master of Puppets before the tragic and untimely death of Cliff Burton on September 27th, 1986.
