The House Jack Built

(Hetfield,Ulrich,Hammett)


Open door so I walk inside
Close my eyes
Find my place to hide
And I shake as I take it in
Let the show begin

Open my eyes
Just to have them close again
Well on my way
But on my way to where I've been

It swallows me
As it takes me in it's fog
I twist away
As I give this world the nod

Open door so I walk inside
Close my eyes
Find my place to hide
And I shake as I take it in
Let the show begin

Open my eyes
Just to have them close once again
Don't want control
As it takes me down and down and down again

Is that the moon?
Or just the light that lights this dead end street?
Is that you there?
Or just another demon that I meet?

     The higher you are
     The farther you fall
     The longer the walk
     The farther you crawl
     My body, my temple
     This temple it tilts
     Step into the house that Jack built

     The higher you are
     The farther you fall
     The longer the walk
     The farther you crawl
     My body, my temple
     This temple it tilts
     Step into the house that Jack built

     Yes, this is the house that Jack built

Open door yes I walk inside
Swallow me so the pain subsides
And I shake as I take the sin
Let the show begin

     The higher you are
     The farther you fall
     The longer the walk
     The farther you crawl
     My body, my temple
     This temple it tilts
     Step into the house that Jack built

     Yes I am, I am, I am
