Band: Metallica
Album: Metallica (Black Album)
Genre: Heavy Metal

Just to introduce other legendary classic bands, I present you one of the best hits by the American heavy metal band, Metallica: "Enter Sandman". The music was written by Kirk Hammett (lead guitarist), James Hetfield (rhythm guitarist) and Lars Ulrich (drummer). Hetfield wrote the lyrics, which deal with the concept of a child's nightmares. Enter Sandman has also one of the most memorable riffs of all time. Enjoy it!

Lyrics:

Say your prayers little one
Don't forget my son
To include everyone
I tuck you in
Warm within
Keep you free from sin
'Til the sandman he comes

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never never-land

Something's wrong, shut the light
Heavy thoughts tonight
And they aren't of snow white
Dreams of war
Dreams of lies
Dreams of dragons fire
And of things that will bite, yeah

Sleep with one eye open
Grippin' your pillow tight

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never never-land

(Whisper)
Now I lay me down to sleep (x2)
Pray the lord my soul to keep (x2)
And if I die before I wake (x2)
Pray the lord my soul to take (x2)

Hush little baby don't say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
It's just the beast under your bed
In your closet in your head

Exit light
Enter night
Grain of sand

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never never-land

We're off to never never-land

Take my hand
We're off to never never-land
Take my hand
We're off to never never-land

We're off to never never-land
