Metallica - Cyanide Lyrics
Sleep, and take us there
In an angel’s kiss
Brings finalness
Don’t believe it
Empty army
Death, won’t you let me stay?
Empty, they say
Death, won’t you call your name?
Oh, call your name
Suicide, I’ve already died
It’s just the funeral I’ve been waiting for
Cyanide, feeling death inside
Break this empty shell forevermore
Wait, wait patiently
Your death black wings
Unfolding scream
Spreading for me
Empty, they say
Death, won’t you let me stay?
Empty, they say
Death, will you call your name?
Oh, call your name
Suicide, I’ve already died
It’s just the funeral I’ve been waiting for
Cyanide, feeling death inside
Break this empty shell forevermore
Days that rain or are they tears?
I sting your concrete face for years
Crying, weeping, shedding strife
Year after year, life after life
An arrow thrust in broken ground
Concrete angel never lies down
Calm anew that’s swallowed fast
With peace at last
Oh, peace at last
Empty, they say
Death, won’t you let me stay?
Empty, they say
Death, will you call your name?
Oh, call your name
Suicide, I’ve already died
It’s just the funeral I’ve been waiting for
Cyanide, feeling death inside
Break this empty shell forevermore
Forever more
Forever more
Just the funeral I’ve been waiting for
