'Broken, Beat & Scarred' Lyrics / Death Magnetic / Metallica Album

Broken, Beat & Scarred" is the forty-fifth single by Metallica, and the sixth from their ninth studio album, Death Magnetic.


Hetfield and Lars Ulrich argued at length over the title of this song. Hetfield said that he didn't like the title, but Ulrich was "very adamant" that it should be called "Broken, Beat & Scarred". And Mr I Hate Napster always gets his way so the song was given its name.

Broken, Beat and Scarred Lyrics

You rise, you fall, you’re down then you rise again
What don’t kill you make you more strong
You rise, you fall, you’re down then you rise again
What don’t kill you make you more strong
Rise, fall, down, rise again
What don’t kill you make you more strong
Rise, fall, down, rise again
What don’t kill you make you more strong

Through black days
Through black nights
Through pitch black insights
Breaking your teeth on the hard life coming
Show your scars
Cutting your feet on the hard earth running
Show your scars
Breaking your life, broken beat and scarred
But we die hard
The dawn, the death, the fight to the final breath
What don’t kill you make you more strong
The dawn, the death, the fight to the final breath
What don’t kill you make you more strong
Dawn, death, fight, final breath
What don’t kill you make you more strong
Dawn, death, fight, final breath
What don’t kill you make you more strong
They scratched me
They scraped me
They couldn’t rape me
Breaking your teeth on the hard life coming
Show your scars
Cutting your feet on the hard earth running
Show your scars
Breaking your life, broken beat and scarred
But we die hard
Breaking your teeth on the hard life coming
Show your scars
Cutting your feet on the hard earth running
Show your scars
Braiding your soul in a hard luck story
Show your scars
Spilling your blood in a hot suns foray
Breaking your life, broken, beat and scarred

We die hard
We die hard
We die hard
