Metallica has announced that it will release their Death Magnetic album on Friday, September 12.

Metallica's announced it on their website with a post titled The Last Piece of the Puzzle




Metallica has filmed a rockin video near Los Angeles for the first single of Death Magnetic, The Day That Never Comes. It was directed by drummer Lars Ulrich's Danish compatriot Thomas Vinterberg.

James Hetfield has discussed what Death Magnetic refers:

"Death Magnetic, at least the title, to me [...] started out as kind of a tribute to people that have fallen in our business, like Layne Staley and a lot of the people that have died, basically rock and roll martyrs of sorts. And then it kind of grew from there, Thinking about death€¦ some people are drawn towards it, and just like a magnet, [and] other people are afraid of it and push away. And the concept that we're all gonna die sometimes is over-talked about and then a lot of times never talked about no one wants to bring it up; it's the big white elephant in the living room. But we all have to deal with it at some point."

The Metallica Lyric Lounge will have the lyrics for The Day That Never Comes and all of Death Magnetic as soon as its released.

My Apocalypse Lyrics from Metallica's Death Magnetic album.

lyrics

Claustrophobic
Crawl out of this skin
Hard explosive Reaching for that pin
Feel thy name extermination
Desecrating, Hail of Fire
So we cross that line
Into the crypt
Total eclipse
Suffer unto my apocalypse!
Deadly vision
Prophecy revealed
Death magnetic
Pulling closer still
Feel thy name annihilation
Desolating, Hail of Fire
So we cross that line
Into the crypt
Total eclipse
Suffer unto my apocalypse!
My apocalypse… Go!
Crushing metal, Ripping Skin
Tossing body mannequin
Spilling Blood, Bleeding Gas
Mangle flesh, Snapping spine
Dripping bloody valentine
Shattered face, spitting glass

Split apart
Split apart
Split apart
Split
Spit it out!

What makes me drift a litter bit closer
Dead man takes the steering wheel
What makes me know it’s time to cross over
Words you repeat until I feel
See through the skin the bones they all rattle
Future and past they disagree
Flesh falls away the bones they all shatter
I start to see the end in me
See the end in me…
Claustrophobic
Climb out of this skin
Hard explosive
Waiting for that pin
Violate, annihilate
A loser to my eyes
Obliterate, exterminate
At last accept, deny
Feel thy name as hell awakens
Destiny, Inhale the Fire
But we cross that line
Into the crypt
Total eclipse

Suffer unto my apocalypse!
Tyrants awaken my apocalypse!
Demon awaken my apocalypse!
Heaven awaken my apocalypse!
Suffer forever my apocalypse!

'Suicide & Redemption' by Metallica

'Suicide & Redemption' / Death Magnetic / Metallica Lyric

This song is an instrumental so it has no lyrics. On their first few albums Metallica included long and complex instrumentals, this is the first Metallica instrumental to be included on an album since ...and justice for all

Listen to Suicide and Redemption on Youtube:

Call of the Klutu is also one of Metallica's more well known instrumentals and obviously does not have any lyrics!

'The Judas Kiss' lyrics by Metallica

'The Judas Kiss' lyrics by Metallica

The Judas Kiss refers to when, according to the Bible,  the apostle Judas pointed out Jesus to those he led to arrest him by means of a kiss and thus betraying him. The term 'Judas' is thus commonly meant to mean someone who betrays another person or cause.

 

The Judas Kiss Lyrics

When the world has turned its back
When the days have turned pitch black
When the fear abducts your tongue
When the fire's dead and gone

So what now?
Where do I head?

When you think it's all said and done
When you are the ostracized
Selfish written, dead goodbyes
Twisting of the tourniquet
When the pieces never fit

So what now?
Where do I head?

When you think it's all said and done

Bow down
Sell your soul to me
I will set you free
Pacify your demons

Bow down
Surrender unto me
Submit infectiously
Sanctify your demons

Into abyss
You don't exist
Cannot resist
The Judas kiss

When the storm has blacked your sky
Intuition crucify
When the ego strips your reign
Assasinate the living flame

So what now?
Where do I head?

When you think it's all said and done
Venom of a life insane
Bites into your fragile veins
Internalize and decimate
Pitting it as complicate

So what now?
Where do I head?

When you think it's all said and done

Bow down
Sell your soul to me
I will set you free
Pacify your demons

Bow down
Surrender unto me
Submit infectiously
Sanctify your demons

Into abyss
You don't exist
Cannot resist
The Judas kiss

Judas lives recite this vow
I've become your new god now

Follow you from dawn of time
Whisper thoughts into your mind
Watched your towers hit the ground
Lured the children never found
Helped your kings abuse their crown

In the heart of evil man
Plant the seeds of my own plan
Strong and powerful will fall
Find a piece of me in all
Inside you all

So bow down
Sell your soul to me
I will set you free
Pacify your demons

Bow down
Surrender unto me
Submit infectiously
Sanctify your demons

Into abyss
You don't exist
Cannot resist
The Judas kiss

'Cyanide' lyrics by Metallica

Cyanide is from Metallica's album, Death Magnetic - their fifth number one album in America!


Cyanide Lyrics:

Sleep, and dream of this
Death angel's kiss
Brings final bliss
Come believe me!

Empty they say
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
You're just the funeral I've been waiting for
Cyanide, living dead inside
Break this empty shell forevermore

Wait, wait patiently
Your death-black wings
Unfolding sleep
Spreading on me

Empty they say
Death, won't you let me stay?
Empty they say
Death, hear me call your name
Oh, call your name!

Suicide, I've already died
You're just the funeral I've been waiting for
Cyanide, living dead inside
Break this empty shell forevermore

Say, is that rain or are they tears?
That stained your concrete face for years
Crying, weeping, shedding strife
Year after year, life after life

A narrow freshly broken ground
A concrete angel laid right down
Upon the grave which swallows fast
It's peace at last
Oh, peace at last

Empty they say
Death, won't you let me stay?
Empty they say
Death, hear me call your name
Oh, call your name

Suicide, I've already died
You're just the funeral I've been waiting for
Cyanide, living dead inside
Break this empty shell forevermore

Forevermore!
Forevermore!
It's the funeral I've been waiting for!

'All Nightmare Long' / Death Magnetic / Metallica Lyric

 


'All Nightmare Long' / Death Magnetic / Metallica Lyric

All Nightmare Long is a track from Metallica's album Death Magnetic. It was released as the 5th single from the album. Lyrically, its a cousin of sorts to Metallica's cross over hit, Enter Sandman with its references to dreaming. Jame Hetfeild took the song further though and commented:

It was an attempt to get back to the H.P. Lovecraft mythos with Thing that Should Not Be, Call of Kthulu. This was about the hounds of Tindalos, which was another crazy mindfuck about these wolves that hunt through their nightmares and the only way you can get away from them is stay with angels. You can't even escape through sleep.

All Nightmare Long Lyrics:

Luck. Runs. Out.
Crawl from the wreckage one more time
Horrific memory twists the mind
Dark, rugged, cold and hard to turn
Path of destruction, feel it burn
Still life
Incarnation
Still life
Infamy

Hallucination
Heresy
Still you run, what's to come?
What's today?

'Cause we hunt you down without mercy
Hunt you down all nightmare long
Feel us breathe upon your face
Feel us shift, every move we trace
Hunt you down without mercy
Hunt you down all nightmare long, yeah
Luck. Runs.

You crawl back in
But your luck runs out

1.2.

Luck. Runs. Out.

The light that is not light is here
To flush you out with your own fear
You hide, you hide, but will be found
Release your crypt without a sound

Still life
Immolation
Still life
Infamy

Hallucination
Heresy
Still you run, what's to come?
What's today?

'Cause we hunt you down without mercy
Hunt you down all nightmare long
Feel us breathe upon your face
Feel us shift, every move we trace
Hunt you down without mercy
Hunt you down all nightmare long
Luck. Runs.

You crawl back in
But your luck runs out

Then you crawl back in
Into your obsession
Never to return
This is your confession

Hunt you down without mercy
Hunt you down all nightmare long
Feel us breathe upon your face
Feel us shift, every move we trace
Hunt you down without mercy
Hunt you down all nightmare long, yeah
Luck. Runs.

You crawl back in
But your luck runs out

Your luck runs out

'The Day That Never Comes' / Death Magnetic / Metallica Lyric

'The Day That Never Comes' / Death Magnetic album / Metallica Lyric

This song was the lead single from Death Magnetic.

Born to push you around
You better just stay down
You pull away
He hits the flesh
You hit the ground
Mouths so full of lies
Tend to black your eyes
Just keep them closed
Keep praying
Just keep waiting

Waiting for the one
The day that never comes
When you stand up and feel the warmth
but the sunshine never comes
No the sunshine never comes

Push you cross that line
Just stay down this time
Hide in yourself
Crawl in yourself
You'll have your time
God I'll make them pay
Take it back one day
I'll end this day
I'll splatter color on this grave

Waiting for the one
The day that never comes
When you stand up and feel the warmth
but the sunshine never comes
No the sunshine never comes

Love is a four letter word
And never spoken here
Love is a four letter word
Here in this prison
I suffer this no longer
I put it into
This I swear!
This I swear!
The sun will shine
This I swear!
This I swear!
This I swear!

Wikipedia has some good nuggets of info on The Day That Never Comes.

It was Metallica's fortieth single - when they do a 'best of' album this is sure to be on! It's also marks the first studio release the new bassist Robert Trujillo has recorded with the band.

Metallica mainstay James Hetfield has said of The Day That Never Comes:

"That's the beauty, I think, of writing vague but powerful lyrics — that someone like a movie director can interpret it in his own way and obviously, someone creative is able to take the metaphors and apply them to whatever he needs in his own life," the singer explained. "The main [theme of the video] is the human element of forgiveness and someone doing you wrong, you feeling resentment and you being able to see through that in the next situation that might be similar and not take your rage or resentment out on the next person and basically keep spreading the disease of that through life...

 

The one thing that I wasn't keen on here was Metallica plugging into a modern war or a current event [that] might be construed as some sort of political statement on our part... 

There are so many celebrities that soapbox their opinions, and people believe it's more valid because they're popular. 

For us, people are people — you should all have your own opinion. We are hopefully putting the human element in what is an unfortunate part of life. There are people over there dealing with situations like this, and we're showing the human part of being there."

Them, seem pretty grown up words, eat your heart out Sean Penn!

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

'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

'The End Of The Line' / Death Magnetic / Metallica Album

Need... More and more 

Tainted misery. 

Bleed... Battle scars 

Chemical affinity. 

Reign... Legacy 

Innocence corrode. 

Stain... Rot away 

Catatonic overload. 

Choke... Asphyxia 

Snuff reality. 

Scorch... Kill the light 

Incinerate celebrity. 

Reaper... Butchery 

Karma amputee. 

Bloodline... Redefine 

Death contagious deity. 

Hooked into this deceiver 

Need more and more 

Into the endless fever 

Need more and more 

New consequence machine 

You burn through all your gasoline. 

Asylum overtime 

Nevermind... 

You've reached the end of the line. 

Time... Choke the clock 

Steal another day. 

Die... Faithfully 

Narcissistic fade away. 

Twisted... Jump the rail 

Shatter the crowd below. 

Breaker... Chase the ghost 

From latest high to alltime low. 

Hooked into this deceiver 

Need more and more 

Into the endless fever 

Need more and more 

New consequence machine 

You burn through all your gasoline. 

Asylum overtime 

Nevermind... 

You've reached the end of the line. 

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. 

The slave becomes the master 

Need more and more 

Right now and everafter 

Need more and more 

New consequence machine 

You burn through all your gasoline. 

Asylum overtime 

Nevermind... 

Dead hourglass of time 

Sand we will not ever find 

We gather here today 

Say goodbye 

Cause you've reached the end of the line. 

The end of the line. 

The end of the line. 

The end of the line. 

You've reached the end of the line.

'That Was Just Your Life' lyrics from the Death Magnetic 

With this song, James Hetfield displays his love for using similes...

That Was Just Your Life by Metallica

Like a siren in my head that I was placed to repeat,
Like a blind man that was shoved into the speeding driver's seat,
Like a face that learned to speak, when all it knew was how to fight,
Like a misery that keeps me from just going out astray,
Like an illness that I'm about to waken from its state.

Contradiction,
A premonition,
Now are the aids who i deny,
I deny.

I blind my eyes and try to force it all into place,
I stitch them up, see not my fall from grace.
I blind my eyes, i hardly feel it passing me by,
I open just in time to say goodbye.

Almost like your life,
Almost like your endless fight,
Cursed, the day is long,
Realize you don't belong,
Disconnect somehow,
Never stop complaining now,
Almost like your fight,
And there it went,
Almost like your life.

[Guitar Solo]

Like a bullet, keeps on bleeding to remind me not to think,
Like a raging river, drowning when I only need a drink,
Like a poison that I swallow, but I want the world to die.

Like a release from a prison that I didn't know I was in, "Like a fight to live the past I prayed to leave from ,
Like a general without a mission until the wars start again,
Start again.

I blind my eyes and try and force it all into place,
I stitch them up, see not my fall from grace.
I blind my eyes, i hardly feel it passing me by,
I open just in time to say goodbye.

Almost like your life,
Almost like your endless fight,
Cursed, the day is long,
Realize you don't belong,
Disconnect somehow,
Never stop complaining now,
Almost like your fight,
And there it went,
Almost like your life.

Like a touch from hell,
I feel how hot that it can get if you get caught,
Like a strike from heaven that turns that key,
That brings you straight down to your knees,
Like a touch from hell,
I feel how hot that it can get if I get caught,
Like a strike from heaven to reprieve,
That brings you straight down to your knees.

Almost like your life,
Almost like your endless fight,
Cursed, the day is long,
Realize you don't belong,
Disconnect somehow,
Never stop complaining now,
Almost like your fight,
And there it went,
Almost like your life.
That was just your life.
