[Verse 1]
Ooh, run away, the past will bite again
Ooh, no matter where you dwell
You, here again, a captive of the howl
You, welcome back to hell

[Refrain]
Faithful, as the full moon is rising
Beauty and the Beast are colliding

[Pre-Chorus]
Sharpened edge touch liquid flame
Deepened seed soaks anger's reign
Arching back, shape-shift derange
Father, how I watched you change

[Chorus]
Am I savage?
Scratching at the door
Am I savage?
I don't recognize you anymore

[Verse 2]
Ooh, tooth is fang, twisting under skin
Ooh, foul tongue, black breath
Change, snap inside, the Beast about complete
Change, soon infects the rest

[Refrain]
Faithful, as the full moon is rising
Beauty and the Beast are colliding

[Pre-Chorus]
Sharpened edge touch liquid flame
Deepened seed soaks anger's reign
Arching back, shape-shift derange
Father, how I watched you change

[Chorus]
Am I savage?
Scratching at the door
Am I savage?
I don't recognize you anymore
Anymore

[Verse 3]
Ooh, inheritance, the past has bit again
Ooh, the next heir of anarchy
Feel, stretching skin so far beyond belief
I feel, the ever changing, you, in me

[Chorus]
Am I savage?
Scratching at the door
Am I savage?
Howling evermore
Am I savage?
I don't recognize me anymore
Anymore

[Outro]
Anymore, ha ha ha
Am I savage?

Metallica

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.
