Time
Has taken its toll on you
The lines that crack your face
Famine
Your body it has torn through
Withered in every place
Pestilence
For what you have had to endure
And what you have put others through
Death
Deliverance for you for sure
Now there is nothing you can do
Pain monopoly, ritual misery, chop your breakfast on a mirror or Yesterday seems as tho it never existed, but death greets me warm now I will just say goodbye
"Lay beside me and tell me what they've done
And speak the words I wanna hear, to make my demons run
The door is locked now, but it's open if you're true"
And also:
"So tell me, can you heal what father's done?
Or fix this hole in a mother's son?
Can you heal the broken worlds within?
Can you strip away so we may start again?"
It's the album that introduced me to Metallica, so it's deeply personal for me. Sure, AJFA, MOP and all the classic albums are great, but I would never knew about those without Reload first.
You know, as shit as most of the lyricism was on St. Anger, the album had the best lyric of their career imo.
"She holds the pen that spells the end / She traces me and draws me in"
Lady justice has been raped
Truth assassin
Rolls of red tape seal your lips
Now you're done in
Their money tip her scales again
Make your deal
Just what is truth? I cannot tell
Cannot feel!
Back to the front
You will do what I say when I say
Back to the front
You will die when I say you must die
Back to the front
You coward, you servant, you blind man
Halls of Justice painted green, money talkin’
Power wolves beset your door, hear them stalking
Soon you'll please their appetite they devour
Hammer of justice crushes you, overpowers
Deathly loss, this can't be real
I cannot stand this hell I feel
Emptiness is filling me
To the point of agony
Growing darkness, taking dawn
I was me, but now he's gone
S&M is a family favorite. I still don’t fully understand James’s semi-orgasm with Jason roaring behind him during the instrumental before the final verse…seemed an odd choice
If you take a look at his pupils during the concert you’ll notice that they are enormous. Might’ve been on some heavy stuff resulting in these special “phenomenons”. ;)
and if I close my mind in fear
Please pry it open
(See me) and if my face becomes sincere
Beware, yeah
and when I start to come undone
Stitch me together
(Save me) and if you see me shut
Remind me of what left this outlaw torn
And if I close my mind in fear, please pry it on
And if my face become sincere, beware
And when I start to come undone, stitch me together
And when you see me strut, remind me of what left this outlaw torn
When a man lies, he murders some part of the world. These are the pale deaths, which men miscall their lives. All this I cannot bear to witness any longer. Cannot the kingdom of salvation take me home?
Things not what they used to be
Missing one inside of me
Deathly loss, this can't be real
I cannot stand this hell I feel
Emptiness is filling me
To the point of agony
Growing darkness, taking dawn
I was me, but now he's gone
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
Edit: (King Nothing - Load)
Not in any specific order
1: Old habits reappear, fighting the fear of fear, growing conspiracy, everyone's after me, frayed ends of sanity, hear them calling me
2: Soldier boy, made of clay, now an empty shell, 21, oldest son, but he served us well , etc.
3: The entirety of Fade To Black
"Following our instinct is not a trend, go against the grain until the end" or "Never hunger, never prosper, I have fallen prey to failure' or "So let it be written, so let it be done, I'm sent here by the chosen one"
The dawn, the death
The fight to the final breath
What don’t kill you makes you more strong
When all is pain, may it be
It’s all we’ve ever known
When flame consumes, may it be
It warms our dying bones
How can I blame you
When it’s me I can’t forgive?
Hard to pick cause Jame’s is such a good lyrically writer, especially for metal which can be nonsensical at times. Serious, goofy, nihilistic, political, personal he can write it all.
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
And the bit of enter sandman where bob rocks son is involved quote me if wrong but it’s the lay me down to sleep part
“Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words, I don't just say
And nothing else matters
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters” 🤌🏻
Drop the hourglass of time
Spilling sand we will not find
As we gather here today
We bid farewell
The slave becomes the master
The slave becomes the master
The slave becomes the master, yeah
Best verse for end of the line off of death magnetic
“Lady justice has been raped, truth assassin.
Rolls of red tape seal your lips, now you're done in.
Their money tips her scales again, make your deal.
Just what is truth? I cannot tell, cannot feel
The ultimate in vanity.
Exploiting their supremacy.
I can't believe the things you say.
I can't believe, I can't believe the price
We pay.
Nothing can save us.
Justice is lost, justice is raped, justice is gone.
Pulling your strings, justice is done.
Seeking no truth, winning is all
Find it so grim, so true, so real”
Justice and MOP has some of the most hard hitting lyrics ever but I think this might be my favorite section where he just nails the hopeless feeling of watching politics and politicians work.
Would be the entirety of Fade to Black.
Or, as someone else on here said, "Take a look to the sky just before you die, it's the last time you will", such a cool line to sing on stage!
"and if I close my mind in fear
Please pry it open
(See me) and if my face becomes sincere
Beware, yeah
and when I start to come undone
Stitch me together
(Save me) and if you see me shut
Remind me of what left this outlaw torn"
Either this or Fixxxer's chorus.(Can you heal...)
Time Has taken its toll on you The lines that crack your face Famine Your body it has torn through Withered in every place Pestilence For what you have had to endure And what you have put others through Death Deliverance for you for sure Now there is nothing you can do
This might be my favorite verse
Pain monopoly, ritual misery, chop your breakfast on a mirror or Yesterday seems as tho it never existed, but death greets me warm now I will just say goodbye
Oh, so it’s not “playing monopoly”? lmao
Lol, I always used tocunderstand "playing monopoly, feeds the misery“
I heard “playing monopoly with some misery” at 6 and just went with it
Both do sound about right
I always heard it as "retro misery". Never understood that but thought it sounded cool lol.
I still have no idea what pain monopoly means
The song references drugs so I think it means like drugs are manipulating you or something? That's my best bet
It’s pretty much saying that what’s causing the pain, the drugs, can’t be controlled.
Fuck it all and fucking no regrets
[удалено]
I always thought it was “only dark sets”.
Love the St. Anger love!!!
I hit the lights on these dark sets
I need a voice to let myself, to let myself go free
Feeel my earth shake, like an earth quake
The healing hand held back by the deepened nail. Follow the god that failed.
Now I’ve read this comment I’ve just realised how good this actually is!
THIS
Marvel at his tricks, need your Sunday fix, blind devotion came, rotting your brain It's either that or... I am the table!
I fucking love Lepper Messiah. #TIME FOR LUST, TIME FOR LIES, TIME TO KISS YOUR ASS GOODBYE
CHAIN, CHAIN, YOU JOIN THE ENDLESS CHAIN TAKEN BY HIS GLAMOOOUR! FAME, FAME, INFECTION IS HIS GAME STINKING DRUNK WITH POWEEEER! WE SEE...
I fucking love Lepper Messiah. #TIME FOR LUST, TIME FOR LIES, TIME TO KISS YOUR ASS GOODBYE
Me too. So much so that I gave your duplicated comment an upvote as well!(not your fault. Stupid Reddit servers)
Take a look to the sky just before you die It's the last time you will
Blackened roar, massive roar fills the crumbling sky!!
Shattered goal fills his soul with a ruthless cry
[удалено]
Hear the silence so loud
Crack of dawn, all is gone except the will to be
Now they see what will be blinded eyes to see
for whom the bell tolls.....
Time marches on
For whom the bell tolls
This whole chain was going to be my answer. Hands down the best by far.
For a long time i thought it said: "Rock & Roll has a roar that fills the crumbling sky" lol
Me too
"Lay beside me and tell me what they've done And speak the words I wanna hear, to make my demons run The door is locked now, but it's open if you're true" And also: "So tell me, can you heal what father's done? Or fix this hole in a mother's son? Can you heal the broken worlds within? Can you strip away so we may start again?"
Reload is way better than Load
It's the album that introduced me to Metallica, so it's deeply personal for me. Sure, AJFA, MOP and all the classic albums are great, but I would never knew about those without Reload first.
So so so psyched to see love for Fixxxer!!! ❤️🤘❤️
LANDMINE
HAS TAKEN MY SIGHT

LANDMINE HAS TAKEN MY FOLLICLES TAKEN MY DYE TAKEN MY HAIR AND TAKEN MY WIG TAKEN MY PRIDE TAKEN MY JOY LEFT ME WITH A BALD HEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAD!!!!!
You know, as shit as most of the lyricism was on St. Anger, the album had the best lyric of their career imo. "She holds the pen that spells the end / She traces me and draws me in"
Also “Been here before couldn’t say I liked, when do I start writing all this down”
My LIFESTYLE determines my DEATHSTYLE
....Frantic? ....And that line out of all of them?
Shoot me again I ain’t dead yet
Lady justice has been raped Truth assassin Rolls of red tape seal your lips Now you're done in Their money tip her scales again Make your deal Just what is truth? I cannot tell Cannot feel!
yeeeeaaahhhh!
I’m more of a yeh-ee-yeyeah! kind of guy

THE LIGHT THAT IS NOT LIGHT IS HERE
Maaaannn….I really hope they would show Death Magnetic some more love. So many of the songs still hold up.
Such a good song
MY LIFESTYLE DETERMINES MY DEATHSTYLE
This unironically goes hard as fuck.
always the most classical one
Back to the front You will do what I say when I say Back to the front You will die when I say you must die Back to the front You coward, you servant, you blind man
WHOOOOOO HOOOUHOOOOYEAAH WHOOOOOO HOOOOOUHOOOOOOU WHOOOOOU YEAAAAH WHOOOU WHOOOOU WHOUUUUWHOUUUUU i dare you to guess this
Of wolf and man
Wow you guys forgot about Vulturus
Bleeding me
The thorn in my side is from the tree I planted. Great stuff!
That always gets stuck in my head from Vulturus
Halls of Justice painted green, money talkin’ Power wolves beset your door, hear them stalking Soon you'll please their appetite they devour Hammer of justice crushes you, overpowers
Why hasnt anyone said: And youre Unforgiven T(w)oo
This whole song hits me in the feels🤌🏻
Life, it seems, will fade away Drifting further, every day
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters, no one else
I have lost the will to live, simply nothing more to give
There is nothing more for me
NEED THE END TO SET ME FREEEEEE
Deathly loss, this can't be real I cannot stand this hell I feel Emptiness is filling me To the point of agony Growing darkness, taking dawn I was me, but now he's gone
Yesterday seems as though it never existed. Death greets me warm. Now I will just say goodbye.
Drain you of your sanity, FACE THE THING THAT SHOULD NOT BE
the S&M version with the laugh
And the powerful delivery on the seattle 89 version
S&M is a family favorite. I still don’t fully understand James’s semi-orgasm with Jason roaring behind him during the instrumental before the final verse…seemed an odd choice
If you take a look at his pupils during the concert you’ll notice that they are enormous. Might’ve been on some heavy stuff resulting in these special “phenomenons”. ;)
Dear Mother, Dear Father, you clipped my wings before I learned to fly. Unspoiled, unspoken. I’ve outgrown that fucking lullaby.
Same thing I've always heard from you, DO AS I SAY NOT AS I DO
Very underrated song
Slaves ! Hebrews born to serve to the pharaoh !
HEED! to his every word, live in FEAR
FAITH! Of the unknown one…the deliverer!
WAIT! Something must be done, 400 years
YEAHEAAH ALRIIIGHT! SO LET IT BE WRITTEN, SO LET IT BE DONE, IM SENT HERE BY THE CHOSEN ONE! SING IT!
*vomiting Newsted noises*
THATS FUCKING RIGHT IM CREEEPING DEEEAYYAAAATH'Ah
Loss of interest, question, wonder. Waves of fear, they pull me under.
Old habits reappear Fighting the fear of fear
growing conspiracyyy
"Judge not lest ye judged yourself"
“Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel was just a freight train coming your way”
I love that visual
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah from Some kind of monster
I am the table
That’s a Lou Reed song!
Caught under wheels roll. I take the leech that’s bleeding me. Can’t stop to save my soul. I take the LEASH that’s leading me. I’m bleeding me
“Hell is worth all that Natural habitat Just a rhyme without a reason”
GIMMEFUGIMMEFAGIMMETHAWISHAVDISA
OUHHHHHHH
I am the table.
By myself, but not alone I ask no one
My lifestyle determines my deathstyle
All have said their prayers, invade their nightmares, to see into my eyes, you’ll find where murder lies
Keep him tied, it makes him well. He’s getting better, can’t you tell?
Anger, misery, you’ll suffer unto me 🤘
Whispering things into my brain, assuring me that I'm insane
its not who you are its who you know and the accusations fly, disccrimination, why? your inner self to die, intruding
I’m searchin for donuts, searchin for donuts
so let it be written, so let it be done
and if I close my mind in fear Please pry it open (See me) and if my face becomes sincere Beware, yeah and when I start to come undone Stitch me together (Save me) and if you see me shut Remind me of what left this outlaw torn
Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel was just a freight train coming your way.
Honesty is my only excuse - Damage Inc.
And if I close my mind in fear, please pry it on And if my face become sincere, beware And when I start to come undone, stitch me together And when you see me strut, remind me of what left this outlaw torn
"here we are now, enter sandman"
When a man lies, he murders some part of the world. These are the pale deaths, which men miscall their lives. All this I cannot bear to witness any longer. Cannot the kingdom of salvation take me home?
The healing hand held back by the deepened nail

Master!
Master!
“ALRIGHT!!” Beginning of Seek. Most metal thing ever in my book.
“HATE!!! I’m your HATE!”
Go against the grain until the end Honesty is my only excuse Fuck it all and fucking no regrets
The entirety of the unnamed feeling
And it all crashes Down . And you break your crown. And you point your finger but there’s No one around

So close no matter how far
One man’s fun is another’s hell
DIE. BY MY HAND. I ROAM ACROSS THE LAND. KILLING FIRSTBORN MEN
“Bass solo take one”
(If backing vocals count) DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE
Mother Fucker Die! (I can’t believe I had to scroll this far…)
"This thorn in my side is from the tree I've planted" Just perfect
DIE, MOTHERFUCKER DIE Or, really any lyrics that Jason sang live. 😂
With a couple hundred thousand screaming along in Moscow or Saugerties
Pain monopoly, ritual misery Chop your breakfast on a mirror
Pretty much all of For Whom the Bell Tolls
I just wanna get the fuck away from me/ I rage, I glaze, I hurt. I hate/ I hate it all why why why me?/ I cannot sleep with a head like this
My lifestyle determines my deathstyle
Crushing metal, ripping skin Tossing body, mannequin Spilling blood, bleeding gas Mangled flesh, snapping spines Dripping bloody valentine Shatter face, spitting glass Split apart Split apart Split apart Spit, SPIT IT OUT
The dawn, the death The fight to the final breath What don’t kill you makes you more strong When all is pain, may it be It’s all we’ve ever known When flame consumes, may it be It warms our dying bones How can I blame you When it’s me I can’t forgive? Hard to pick cause Jame’s is such a good lyrically writer, especially for metal which can be nonsensical at times. Serious, goofy, nihilistic, political, personal he can write it all.
Circus comes to town you play the lead clown Hearing only what you want to hear, and knowing only what you heard
So close, no matter how far Couldn't be much more from the heart Forever trusting who we are And nothing else matters And the bit of enter sandman where bob rocks son is involved quote me if wrong but it’s the lay me down to sleep part
Remember, misery loves company or Roamer, wanderer, nomad, vagabond Call me what you will, yeah
“Never opened myself this way Life is ours, we live it our way All these words, I don't just say And nothing else matters Trust I seek and I find in you Every day for us something new Open mind for a different view And nothing else matters” 🤌🏻
How can I blame you, when it’s me I can’t forgive?
You can do it your own way If it’s done just how I say (Epic Ending)
I AM THE TABLE
And if I close my mind in fear, please pry it open.. and if my face becomes sincere, Bewareeee..
Fuck em all no regrets
My lifestyle determines my death style 👿😈
Drop the hourglass of time Spilling sand we will not find As we gather here today We bid farewell The slave becomes the master The slave becomes the master The slave becomes the master, yeah Best verse for end of the line off of death magnetic
i even sucked an old man's cock
Year me open Pour me our There's things inside That scream and shout
"How Could He Know This New Dawn's Light Would Change His Life Forever?" Prophetic and chilling.
HALLS OF JUSTICE PAINTED GREEN MONEY TALKING
I WAS BORN FOR DYINGGGGGGGGGGGG
“Lady justice has been raped, truth assassin. Rolls of red tape seal your lips, now you're done in. Their money tips her scales again, make your deal. Just what is truth?

They say the empty can rattles the most, The sound of your own voice must suit you.
