Shadows Follow - Metallica

Lyrics by：James Hetfield/Lars Ulrich

Composed by：James Hetfield/Lars Ulrich

Hanging by a thread as I play dead

Hanging by a thread and my mind is code red

Cut and run try to hide get away shut my eyes

Just to hide from the fate

Cut and run try to hide get away cover up

Get shelter from the hate

Demonized liquified tranquilized prophesied

Just to hide from life

Night and day led astray in decay come what may

Not to face that fight

Seething

Breathing

Nightmares grow

On I run

Still my shadows follow

Never can I stop 'cause they haunt me

Never can I stop 'cause the beast is hungry

Like a wolf on the hunt stalking prey closing in

No it won't let me be

Like a wolf on the hunt stalks a prey

Any cost fulfill a destiny

Seething

Fast breathing

Nightmares grow

On I run

Still my shadows follow

On I run

But still my shadows follow

Cut and run hide away from fate

Cover up try to hide the hate

Like a wolf it won't let me be

Closing in wish away shut my eyes

Wish it away

Seething

Fast breathing

Nightmares grow

On I run

Still my shadows follow

Facing

My demons

Now I know

If I run

Still my shadows follow

I say "No"

Still my shadows follow
