[Verse 1]
Chaos
Awaiting for Adam's return
Madness
Smiling, as we watch it burn

[Chorus]
I've become
Hostage to my mind
Left myself behind
Blind lead blind
Quest to find
Faith in man(un)kind

[Verse 2]
Garden
Of Eden, so simple and pure
Greedy
Needy, must we have more?

[Chorus]
I've become
Hostage to my mind
Left myself behind
Blind lead blind
Quest to find
Faith in man(un)kind

[Climb]
Fascinate
Partner of insanity
Decimate
Lessons we never learn
Dominate
Killing of the innocence
Deviate
And to dust you return
Yeah!

[Bridge]
Seized by the day
Frozen captive by the night
Seized by the day
All the dark days of your life

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Seized by the day
Frozen captive by the night
Led so astray
All the dark days of your life

[Verse 3]
Zero
Reset, creation of man
Foolish
Ready, to witness again?

[Chorus]
I've become
Hostage to my mind
Left myself behind
Blind lead blind
Quest to find
Faith in man(un)kind

[Outro]
Faith in man(un)kind
Oh, Faith in man(un)kind
Faith in man(un)kind
Oh, Faith in man(un)kind

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.
