Veteran of the Psychic Wars Songtext
von Metallica

Okay, what is this?
This is the song that Lars likes
′Cause it's got really good vocals in it
Yeah, you gonna sing it?
That′s when we need to clear the house, I'll sing it
Okay, alright
Yeah, do it
I dare you
Now's your chance, man
These are the most forgivable people

You see me now, a veteran of a thousand psychic wars
I′ve been living on the edge so long, where the winds of limbo roar
I′m young enough to look at, far too old to see
All the scars are on the inside
I'm not sure if there′s anything left of me


Don't let these shakes go on
It′s time we had a break from it
Time we had some leave
We've been living in the flames
We′ve been eating up our brains
Oh, please don't let these shakes go on

You asked me why I'm weary, why I can′t speak to you
You blamed me for my silence, it′s time you change and grew
Still it's going on, girl, no end that I know
And I can′t say if were ever
I can't say if were ever gonna to be free

Don′t let these shakes go on
It's time we had a break from it
Time we had some leave
We′ve been living in the flames
We've been eating out our brains
Oh, please don't let these shakes go on

You see me now, a veteran of a thousand psychic wars
My energy′s spent at last, my armor is destroyed
Using all my weapons, helpless and bereaved
Wounds are all I′m made of
Did I hear you say this is victory?


Don't let these shakes go on
Time we had a break from it
Time we had some leave
We′ve been living in the flames
We've been eating up our brains
Oh, please don′t let these shakes go on

Thank you
Oh, that one's a lot louder
And I like it
Let′s keep this one
