Cyanide

From MetallicaWiki

"Cyanide" is the sixth track on Metallica's 2008 album Death Magnetic. It was the first song from the album performed live - the band debuted "Cyanide" on August 9, 2008 at Ozzfest in Dallas, Texas, one month before the release of Death Magnetic. However, the fans who follow the band online heard the song's main riff back in May 2008, when Metallica launched the promotional Mission: Metallica website, as it was featured in the Mission: Metallica trailer, together with the first verse of the chorus.

Lyrics

Sleep and dream of this
Death angel's kiss
Brings final bliss
Completely

Empty they say,
Death, won't you let me stay?

Empty they say,
Death, hear me call your name,
Call your name... 

...suicide 
I've already died.
You're just the funeral 
I've been waiting for. 

...cyanide
Living dead inside
Break this empty shell forever more.

Wait, wait patiently
Your death black wings
Unfolding sleep
Spreading o'er me

Empty they say,
Death, won't you let me stay?

Empty they say,
Death, hear me call your name, 
Call your name... 

...suicide 
I've already died.
You're just the funeral 
I've been waiting for. 

...cyanide
Living dead inside
Break this empty shell forever more.

Say, is that rain or are they tears?
That has stained your concrete face for years.
The crying, weeping, shedding strife
Year after year, life after life.

An air of freshly broken ground.
A concrete angel lit right down 
Upon the grave which swallows fast
It's peace at last, peace at last!

Empty they say,
Death, won't you let me stay?

Empty they say,
Death, hear me call your name, 
Call your name... 

...suicide 
I've already died.
You're just the funeral 
I've been waiting for. 

...cyanide
Living dead inside
Break this empty shell forever more.

To end this war
To end this war
It's just the funeral 
I've been waiting for.
