Beyond Magnetic Lyrics
Four previously-unreleased songs written during recording of Death Magnetic were played for the first time during Metallica's 30th anniversary shows in 2011 and released as the Beyond Magnetic EP.
1. Hate Train
Hate is a train
That thunders aimless through my head
And hate is the fame
Chained to the wheel until I'm dead
Rage is the flame
Creates a touch to boil the sees
And rage is to blame
Forever sorry I shall be
And from a darkness I descend
Clutching a torch of sweet revenge
You took away tomorrow, still I stand
I ride into the sorrow, still I stand
You took away tomorrow, still I stand
Straight down into the sorrow, still I stand
Wrath is the name
Branding suffer unto you
And wrath takes the shame
And holds me down until it's through
And from a darkness I descend
Clutching a torch of sweet revenge
You took away tomorrow, still I stand
I ride into the sorrow, still I stand
You took away tomorrow, still I stand
I sink into the sorrow, still I stand
And hate is a train
That hungers for the fleshy scar
And hate takes the blame
A beast that never slows at all
And from a darkness I descend
Clutching a torch of sweet revenge
Burst into flame, the bitter end
And shakes these gates of hell again
Cursed to drown in sorrow
You took away tomorrow, still I stand
I ride into the sorrow, still I stand
You took away tomorrow, still I stand
You left me here with sorrow, still I stand
Still I stand
2. Just A Bullet Away
All roads, they lead to shame
All drowning in the blame
All reflections look the same
In the shine of the midnight revolver
All hide behind the skin
All hope so paper thin
I'm at the door again
And the shine of the midnight revolver
Even the promise of danger has gone... dull
Staring down the barrel of a .45
Suck on the barrel
Suck on the barrel
Suck til it's gone dry
For all reflections look the same
In the shine of the midnight revolver
Redemption, purify
Will nothing satisfy?
The scars just multiply
In the shine of the midnight revolver
Twisting in apocolypes
Death upon the fingertips
Frigid metal touches lips
And the shine of the midnight revolver
'Cause you lied
Just a bullet away
Just a bullet away from leaving you
Just a bullet away
Stop the voices in my head
Caressing death again
Becomes the heroin
Forbidden medicine
Puts a shine on the midnight revolver
Eternal borderline
All the faces intertwine
Oh God... now I see mine
In the shine of the midnight revolver
Even the promise of danger has gone... dull
Staring down the barrel of a .45
Suck on the barrel
Suck on the barrel
Suck, suck 'til it's dry
For all reflections look the same
In the shine of the midnight revolver
Down in misery
Down in misery
Just a bullet away
Just a bullet away from leaving you
Just a bullet away
Stop the voices in my head
All roads, they lead to shame
All drowning in the blame
Reflections look the same
In the shine of the midnight revolver
All hide beneath the skin
A hope so paper thin
I'm at the door again
And the shine of the midnight revolver
Even the promise of danger has gone... dull
Staring down the barrel of a .45
Suck on the barrel
Suck on the barrel
Suck, suck 'til it's dry
Do all reflections look the same
In the shine of the midnight revolver
'Cause you lied
Yes, you lied
Just a bullet away
Just a bullet away from leaving you
Just a bullet away
Stop the voices in my head
3. Hell And Back
There is nowhere else I can run to
She is wretched but she comforts me
After everyone goes home
She's always there for me
And when the sun goes hellbound
And the moon does resurrect the night
I'll hide within her
Not much good has come out of the light
After everyone goes home
And I'm left here on my own
I will run straight to Hell and back
Straight to Hell and back
When they turn out all their lights
And I'm left to brood at night
Always return to Hell and back
Straight to Hell and back
Straight down yeah
A lonely light in a window
Just longing for some company
Tragic, heartless and hateful
But there's nothing as willing as she
And when the night has fallen
It falls hard and then it all begins
When she starts her calling
I feel my darkness growing from within
After everyone goes home
And I'm left here on my own
I will run straight to Hell and back
Straight to Hell and back
When they turn out all their lights
And I'm left to brood at night
Always return to Hell and back
Straight to Hell and back
Straight to Hell and back
I will run straight to Hell and back
I become two
We become one
Unbridled... unequaled... unholy... undone
The path is cut deep
The path is worn well
I'll follow my footsteps to the warmth of Hell
The warmth of Hell
After everyone goes home
And I'm left here on my own
I will run straight to Hell and back
Straight to Hell and back
Straight to Hell and back
When they turn out all their lights
And I'm left to brood at night
Always return to Hell and back
Return to Hell and back
Straight to Hell and back
Straight to Hell and back
I will run straight to Hell and back
Straight down
4. Rebel of Babylon
Rebel grip your bottle tight
Just float away
Rebel is it hard to leave
What makes you stay?
Go take your poison ink
Sign life away
Then take your dirty spoon
And dig your grave
Dig your grave
Rebel grips the bottle tight
Just floats away
Rebel finds it hard to leave
What makes you stay?
He takes the poison ink
Signing life away
Then takes the dirty spoon
And digs his grave
Let this dark shine
Let this dark shine
Let it shine bright
Don't let it burn out tonight
Kill me one more time
Stigmata
Kill me one more time
Neo martyr
Gonna die young
Gonna live forever
Kill me one more time
Rise up
Rebel of Babylon
Renegade fights the fight
That no one wins
He claims a crown of thorns
To pierce the skin
He climbs his crucifix
And waits for dawn
Thinks they'll remember him
After he's gone
Let this dark shine
Let this dark shine
Let it shine bright
Don't let it burn out tonight
Kill me one more time
Stigmata
Kill me one more time
Neo martyr
Gonna die young
Gonna live forever
Kill me one more time
Rise up
Rebel of Babylon
Rise up
Rise up
Resurrection
The rebel fights the fight
That no one wins
To claim a crown of thorns
To pierce his skin
Climbs his crucifix
And waits for dawn
He looses consciousness
The myth lives on
Let this dark shine
Let this dark shine
Let it shine bright
Don't let it burn out tonight
Tonight
Kill me one more time
Stigmata
Kill me one more time
Neo martyr
Gonna die young
Gonna live forever
Kill me one more time
Rise up
Rebel of Babylon
Rise up
Rise up
Resurrection
