Released: November 18, 2016

Songwriter: James Hetfield Lars Ulrich

Producer: Greg Fidelman

[Verse 1]
He sleeps under black seas waiting
Lies dreaming in death
He sleeps under cosmos shaking
Stars granting his breath

[Verse 2]
He wakes as the world dies screaming
All horrors arrive
He wakes giving Earth its bleeding
Pure madness alive

[Pre-Chorus]
And He haunts you
And He binds your soul
And He loathes you
And reclaims it all

[Chorus]
You turn to stone
Can't look away
You turn to stone
Madness, they say

[Post-Chorus]
Cthulhu, awaken

[Verse 3]
He sways in abyss returning
Inhaling black skies
He shakes with a torture burning
All lost in his eyes

[Pre-Chorus]
And He haunts you
And He binds your soul
And He loathes you
And reclaims it all

[Chorus]
You turn to stone
Can't look away
You turn to stone
Madness, they say

[Post-Chorus]
Cthulhu, awaken

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
You turn to stone
Can't look away
You turn to stone
Madness, they say

[Bridge]
Sanity taken
Seething damnation
Cthulhu awaken
(Wake) Winged Salvation
Death by creation
Cthulhu, awaken
(Wake) Dreaming no more

[Outro]
Cthulhu, awaken
(Wake) Dreaming no more
Cthulhu, awaken
(Wake) Dreaming no more

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.
