LYRICS
Temptation
Temptation
Temptation
Temptation
The beast still shouts for what it’s yearning
He stokes the fire, desire burning
The never-ending quenchless craving
The unforgiving misbehaving
If darkness had a son, here I am
Temptation is his father
If darkness had a son, here I am
I bathe in holy water
Temptation, leave me be
Temptation
Temptation
Temptation
Temptation
So paint your eyes as black as sorrow
Hide yourself behind tomorrow
The nightmares search for infiltration
In domination, captivation
If darkness had a son, here I am
Temptation is his father
If darkness had a son, here I am
I bathe in holy water
Temptation, leave me be
Return again to where it’s darkest
Dragging home this heathen harvest
And all the children subjugated
Manipulated, propagated
If darkness had a son, here I am
Temptation is his father
If darkness had a son, here I am
I bathe in holy water
If darkness had a son
Here I am
If darkness had a son
Here I am
If darkness had a son
Here I am
I bathe in holy water
Temptation, leave me be
Written by James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich & Kirk Hammett

BORING. You’ve created most of the iconic metal songs of whole time, unfortunately this is soulless, boring and bland.

hmm… this song seems straight forward, the abstract thingy changing representing the form that drugs take; smoke, liquid, stuff entering the blood stream etc… The rest seems to be James telling us trough a song his battle with alchol addiction. Might find more layers after the 1000+ lisenings. PS: the song rocks

I listened to Metallica growing in Mexico in a Rancho. Everyone there thought I was crazy. Now, here is the USA, I keep living it… Proved to them I was not crazy, just smart to choose my music!!! Getting ready to go see them in Inglewood, CA!!! ✌🏽✌🏽

Kirk is just playing his ass off waiting to be let out of that box they keep him in . I love James lyrics but Lars has to go he’s holding the whole band back from being the trash masters they use to be both guitarist need to realize it’s not about money an marketing it’s bout giving fans what they game em in the 80s Kirk is so sad they treat him like crap keep him held back from playing the amazing shit he can I just want to hear a good drumming thrash album with James voice he took yrs to acquire an kirks blading speed an solos fk Lars stop controlling the band
