Hero of the Day (Live) - SaD - Symphony and Metallica

It's 5 am and my breathing has stopped again The world grows quiet like a storm right before the end You bite at your nails as you run to the exit sign There's no time to wait because the day has come Every single night, never ending It's an endless storm and the rain's unrelenting But that's the way the world is run Though it is a hopeless one Even if you keep on falling Keep on moving forward even if you're barely crawling Although you're half asleep stumbling You've gotta keep up the fight Once again, you're lost in that world in your head Don't you see what you've been missing You could be living out your wildest dreams This tangled maze keeps on twisting, twisting But through the chaos we will keep persisting The sound of a bell calls for a new adventure And the start of a brand-new beginning I don't know which way I should be going It's really scary to run not knowing But with every step we grow stronger I know that soon we will find a way Because the day has come Those that don't seem to understand you Are they any better than the ones that pretend to But that's the way this world is run Though it is a hopeless one This world isn't anything like hell But I'm sure it's still far from the light of heaven as well We are somewhere stuck in the middle We dwell where the two connect Disregard the image on that tarot card Let it go 'Cause we don't know what tomorrow Holds for you and me This tangled maze keeps on twisting, twisting But through the chaos we will keep persisting The sound of a bell calls for a new adventure And the start of a brand-new beginning I don't know which way I should be going It's really scary to run not knowing But with every step we grow stronger I know that soon we will find a way Because the day has come You only believe what you can see With your own eyes but blink And as you're cowering In the dark you'll start to see Everything you fear it will start to manifest So cry on, cry on The ones who live are the real survivors They'll drag you down with their cloaks and daggers They strive to survive in this world Where all justice and all fairness is but an illusion The secret hunter is creeping closer You hear it whisper the fate of the future You sharpen your claws as you run to the exit sign There's no time to wait because the day has come

You see the sun rise, a new day's upon you You bite your nails and your knees start to tremble The time is upon you to show them what you can do And soon they will know that the day has come Late into the night, I hear it storming An end to the rain is what I pray and I'm hoping Now I feel the pressure of the city, oh How it eats me whole So many names and faces Sleepless nights spent in unknown places And every day I walk straight into the great unknown I'm not to blame I'm gonna take a stand You say my name I'm telling you to reach out And finally take my hand Colliding fists, they're what's gonna make you You grit your teeth or they're gonna break you The time is upon you to show them what you can do You're breaking the mold to show you're not them Will we break through? I don't know, don't know The bells are ringing, come out and play now The time is upon you to show them what you can do And soon they will know that the day has come No one has a sense of understanding Their hollowed eyes are staring and pretend that they see me Now I feel the pressure and it's crushing me How it breaks me down (breaks me down) Walking through this hell every day Mocking me and telling me to give up on my way But I'm still on a mission, I can't let nobody stop me now It's all the same I'm gonna take a stand Don't mock my name I'll finally make you understand Exactly who I am Colliding fists, they're what's gonna make you You grit your teeth or they're gonna break you The time is upon you to show them what you can do You're breaking the mold to show you're not them Will we break through? I don't know, don't know The bells are ringing, come out and play now The time is upon you to show them what you can do And soon they will know that the day has come I may be invisible to your eyes Soon you'll see me give it all of my might I'm not afraid of dark shadows now Follow me 'cause I got the heart I won't fall to you Cry on, cry on So clench your fists now, you're gonna break them If they don't listen, well, you gotta make them The time is upon you to show them what you can do You're breaking the mold and now you'll fight back I know you'll break through someday, somehow The bells are ringing, our victory's now The time is upon you to show them what you can do And now they will know that your day has come

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's 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 shit off from me Hold my breath as I wish for death Oh please God, wake me 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 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 No, no Please God, no Please God, no

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 No! 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 Yeah! Oh yeah! 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

Off through the new day's mist I run Out from the new day's mist I have come I hunt, therefore I am Harvest the land Taking of the fallen lamb Off through the new day's mist I run Out from the new day's mist I have come We shift, pulsing with the earth Company we keep Roaming the land while you sleep Shape shift, nose to the wind Shape shift, feeling I've been Move swift, all senses clean Earth's gift (Back to the meaning) Back to the meaning of life Bright is the moon, high in starlight Chill in the air cold as steel tonight We shift, call of the wild Fear in your eyes It's later than you realized Shape shift, nose to the wind Shape shift, feeling I've been Move swift, all senses clean, baby Earth's gift (Back to the meaning) Back to the meaning of life Got any wolves out there? I feel a change Back to a better day (Shape shift) Hair stands on the back of my neck (Move swift) in wildness is the preservation of the world So seek the wolf in thyself Shape shift, nose to the wind Shape shift, feeling I've been Move swift, all senses clean Earth's gift (Back to the meaning) Back to the meaning Of wolf and man
