[Verse 1]
One crown
Shines on through the sound
One crown
Born to lose
One man
Does not give a damn
One man
No excuse

[Refrain 1]
Aces wild
Aces high
All the aces
Aces 'til you die

[Pre-Chorus 1]
White lines fading
The iron horse rolls on and on and on

[Chorus]
Hear your thunder
Still feeding back
Still hear your thunder
The man in black
Born to lose
Living to win

[Verse 2]
One fist
Hammers through the mist
One fist
Steady on
One heart
Diehard from the start
One heart
Beats its song

[Refrain 2]
Murder all
Murder one
Give me murder
Second class to none

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Headlights fading
The iron horse rolls on and on and on

[Chorus]
Hear your thunder
Still feeding back
Still hear your thunder
The man in black
Born to lose
Living to win

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Hear your thunder
Still feeding back
I still hear your thunder
The man in black
Born to lose
No excuse

[Outro]
'Til the end
Been living to win
Been living to win

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.
