One

(Hetfield,Ulrich)


I can't remember anything
Can't tell if this is true or dream
Deep down inside I feel to scream
This terrible silence stops me

Now that the war is through with me
I'm waking up, I cannot see
That there is not much left of me
Nothing is real but pain now

     Hold my breath as I wish for death
     Oh please God, wake me

Back in the womb it's much too real
In pumps life that I must feel
But can't look forward to reveal
Look to the time when I'll live

Fed through the tube that sticks in me
Just like a wartime novelty
Tied to machines that make me be
Cut this life off from me

     Hold my breath as I wish for death
     Oh please God, wake me

     Now the world is gone I'm just one
     Oh God, help me Hold my breath as I wish for death
     Oh please God, help me

Darkness imprisoning me
          All that I see
          Absolute horror
          I cannot live
          I cannot die
          Trapped in myself
          Body my holding cell

Landmine has taken my sight
          Taken my speech
          Taken my hearing
          Taken my arms
          Taken my legs
          Taken my soul
          Left me with life in hell
