1. Mama Said
Mama she has taught me well
Told me when I was young
Son, your life's an open book
Don't close it fore it's done
The brigtest flame burns quickest
Is what I heard they say
A son's heart's owned to mother
But I must find my way
*Let my heart go
Let your son grow
Mama let your heart go
Or let this heart be still
Rebel my new last name
Wild blood in my veins
Apron strings around my neck
The mark that still remains
Left home at an early age
Of what I heard was wrong
I never asked forgiveness
But what I said is done
* Repeat
**Never I ask you
But never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness
I now take to my grave
Never I ask of you
But never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness
I now take to my grave
So let this heart be still
Mama now I'm coming home
I'm not all you wished of me
But a mother's love for her son
Unspoken, Help me be
I took your love for granted
And all the things you said to me
I need your arms to welcome me
But a cold stone's all I see
* Repeat
Let my heart go
Mama let me heart go
You never let me heart go
So let this heart be still
** Repeat
2. King Nothing (live)
Wish I may
Wish i might
Have this wish tonight
Are you satisfied?
Dig for gold
Dig for fame
You dig to make your name
Are you pacified?
All the wants you waste
All the things you've chased
*And it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger
But there's no one around
**Just want one thing
Just to play the king
But the castle crumbled
And you've left with just a name
Where's your crown?
King nothing***
Hard and cold
Bought and sold
A heart hard as gold
Are you satisfied
Wish I may
Wish I might
You wish your life away
Are you pacified
All the wants you waste
All the things you've chased
*--*** Repeat
I wish I may
I wish I might
Have this wish I wish tonight
I want the star
i want it now
I want it all and i don't care how
Careful what you wish
Careful what you say
Careful what you wish
You may regret it
Careful what you wish
You just might get it
Then it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger
But there's no one around
*--*** Repeat
** Repeat
3. Whiplash (live)
Late at night all systems go
You ahve come to see the show
We do our best you're the rest
You make it real you know
There is a feeling deep inside
That drives you fuchin'mad
A feeling of a hammerhead
You need it oh so bad
Adrenalin starts to flow
You're thrashing all around
Acting like a maniac
Whiplash
Bang your head against the stage
Like you never did before
Make it ring make it bleed
Make it really sore
In a frenzied madness
With your leathers and your spikes
Heads are bobbing around
It is hot as hell tonite
Adrenalin starts to flow
You're thrashing all around
Acting like a maniac
Whiplash
Here on stage the marshall noise
Is piercing through your ears
It kick your ass kick your face
Exploding feeling nears
Now is the time to let it rip
To let it fuckin'loose
We are gathered here to maim and kill
Cause this is what we choose
Adrenalin starts to flow
You're thrashing all around
Acting like a maniac
Whiplash
The show is through the metal is gone
It is the time to hit the road
Another time another gig
Again we will ezplode
Hotel rooms and motorways
Life out here is raw
But we will never stop
We will never quit
Cause we are METALLICA
Adrenalin starts to flow
You're thrashing all around
Acting like a maniac
Whiplash

You never let me heart go
So let this heart be still
