[Verse 1]
Sight
Pale riders into the night
Galloping harder and faster
Through your dreaming

[Verse 2]
Wake
Walk towards the fire innate
Frost bitten soul below zero
Excitation

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Are you remembering the sound?
Recall the shaking of the ground?

[Chorus]
Pounding
Pounding
No remorse
Lords of summer, set on course

Pushing
Pushing
Horsemen ride
Lords of summer, undenied

At last the thawing has begun
Come trade your darkness for the sun
Melting the chill of winter's turn
So celebrate and let your fires burn
The lords of summer have returned

[Verse 3]
Straight
Light passes through, penetrate
It's been a long, lonely winter
Illumination

[Verse 4]
Bright
Bathe in the volume and light
Reanimated by fire
Transformation

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Become the nexus of the sound
Become the shaking of the ground

[Chorus]
Pounding
Pounding
No remorse
Lords of summer, set on course

Pushing
Pushing
Horsemen ride
Lords of summer, undenied

At last the thawing has begun
Come trade your darkness for the sun
Melting the chill of winter's turn
So celebrate and let your fires burn
The lords of summer have returned

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Whoa, pounding
Pounding
No remorse
Lords of summer set on course

Whoa, pushing
Pushing
Horsemen ride
The lords of summer undenied, undenied

At last the thawing has begun
Come trade your darkness for the sun
Melting the chill of winter's turn
So celebrate and let your fires burn
The lords of summer have returned

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.
