Metallica

Claustrophobic
Crawl out of this skin
Hard explosive
Reach in, pull that pin

Ain't no one gonna watch the road
Intention reckless
Ain't no one gonna slow the row
Invention reckless

So I cross that line
Pushing myself, daring myself
Scaring myself in the suicide lane

Deadly pulse
Pawing at the wheel
Death Magnetic
Pulling closer still

Ain't no one gonna hold the border
Insanely reckless
Ain't no one gonna give the order
Inanely reckless

So I cross that line
Pushing myself, daring myself
Scaring myself in the suicide lane

I scare myself

Crushing metal, Ripping Skin
Tossing body mannequin
Splatter Blood, Bleeding Gas

Mangle flesh, Snapping spine
Dripping bloody valentine
Shatter face, spitting glass

What makes me drift a litter bit closer
Dead man takes the steering wheel
What makes me know it's time to cross over
Dead man takes the steering wheel

See through the skin the bones they all rattle
I start to see the end in me
Flesh falls away the bones they all shatter
I start to see the end in me

Clautrophobic
Crawl out of this skin
Hard explosive
Reach in, pull that pin

Every moment, flashed before my eyes
I wake up SCREAMING
Life is undenied

Ain't no one gonna search the record
Intensely reckless
Ain't no one gonna get the message
Inherely reckless

I cross that line
Pushing myself, daring myself
Scaring myself in the suicide lane

Pushing myself in the suicide lane
Daring myself in the suicide lane
Pushing myself in the suicide lane
Daring myself in the suicide lane

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.
