The Ecstasy Of Gold Live - Metallica Lyrics

[Intro]
[Instrumental: The Ecstasy of Gold]

[Verse 1]
Say your prayers, little one
Don't forget, my son
To include everyone
I fuck you in, warm within
Keep you free from sin
Till the sandman he comes
[Pre-Chorus]
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

[Chorus]
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land
Yeah!

[Verse 2]
Something's wrong, shut the light
Heavy thoughts tonight
And they aren't of Snow White
Dreams of war
Dreams of liars
Dreams of dragons’ fire
And of things that will bite, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

[Chorus]
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land
That’s right!
[Guitar Solo]

My friends!
Your hands are up like this, man

[Interlude - recorded]
Now I lay me down to sleep
(Now I lay me down to sleep)
Pray the lord my soul to keep
(Pray the lord my soul to keep)
And
If I die before I wake
(If I die before I wake)
Pray the lord my soul to take
(Pray the lord my soul to take)

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
Exit light
Enter night
Grain of sand
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land
[Interlude]
[Laughs]
Come on, people
Hey yeah, oh oh yeah

[Outro]
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
[Laughs]
Ohh
