Verses: (with Rhy. Fig. 1)
1. Welcome to where time stands still, noone lives and noone will
Moon is full never seems to change, just labeled mentally deranged
Dream the sane thing every night, I see our freedom in my sight
No locked doors, no windows barred , no things to make my brain seem scared
2. Build my fear of what's out there, cannot breath the open air
Whisper things into my brain, assuring me that I'm insane
They think our heads are in their hands, but violent use brings violent plans
Keep him tied, it makes him well, he's getting better can't you tell?
1.Sleep my friend and you will see that dream is my reality
2.No more can they keep us in, listen damn it we will win

1.Keep me locked up in this cage, can't they see it's why my brain says rage?
2.They see it right, they see it well, but they think this saves from our hell

Now comes the second solo. The backing guitar plays a B chord for
the next line and then goes on 4 times with the backing rhythm
of solo 1.

For the next two lines we have two guitars soloing together.
For two notes they play on the same string (high E). In this
case the highest note is indicated above the tablature.

This last E chord lasts rather long for Metallica, while the song
doubles its tempo and the lyrics go "Just leave me alone".
Then you make a pick slide down the neck and you go:
