(Hetfield / Ulrich / Hammett)
|
Open door, so I walk inside
|
Close my eyes, find my place
|
to hide
|
And I shake as I take it in
|
Let the show begin
|
|
Open my eyes just to have them close again
|
Well on my way, but on my way to where I've been
|
It swallows me as it takes me in its fog
|
I twist away as I give this world the nod
|
|
Open door, so I walk inside
|
Close my eyes, find my place to hide
|
And I shake as I take it in
|
Let the show begin
|
|
Open my eyes just to have them closed once again
|
Don't want control
|
As it takes me down and down and down again
|
Is that the moon or just a light that lights this dead-end street?
|
Is that you there or just another demon that I meet?
|
|
The higher you are
|
The farther you fall
|
The longer the walk
|
The farther you crawl
|
My body, my temple
|
This temple, it tilts
|
Step into the house that Jack built
|
|
The higher you are
|
The farther you fall
|
The longer the walk
|
The farther you crawl
|
My body, my temple
|
This temple, it tilts
|
Yes, this is the house that Jack built
|
|
Open door, yes, I walk inside
|
Swallow me so the pain subsides
|
And I shake as I take the sin
|
Let the show begin
|
|
The higher you are
|
The farther you fall
|
The longer the walk
|
The farther you crawl
|
My body, my temple
|
This temple, it tilts
|
Yes, this is the house that
|
Jack built
|
|
The higher you are
|
The farther you fall
|
The longer the walk
|
The farther you crawl
|
My body, my temple
|
This temple, it tilts
|
Yes, I am, I am, I am
|
|
Open my eyes
|
It swallows me
|
Is that you there
|
I twist away
|
Away
|
Away
|
Away
|
