Metallica Coundown: 3 Day to Hero Of The Day

Hero Of The Day from the Load album:

Mama they try and break me...

The window burns to light the way back home
A light that warms no matter where they've gone
They're off to find the hero of the day
But what if they should fall by someone's wicked way

Still the window burns
Time so slowly turns
Someone there is sighing
Keepers of the flames
Do you feel your name?
Can't you hear your babies crying?

Mama they try and break me
Still they try and break me

Excuse me while I tend to how to feel
These things return to me that still seem real
Now deservingly this easy chair
But the rocking stopped by wheels of despair

Don't want your hate
But the fist I'll make
For years
can't hold or feel
No I'm not all me
So please excuse me while I tend to how I feel

But now the dreams
And waking screems
That everlast the night
So build a wall
Behind it crawl
And hide until its light
So can you hear your babies crying now?

Still the window burns
Time so slowly turns
And someone there is sighing
Keepers of the flames
Can't you feel your name?
Can't you hear your babies crying?

But now the dreams
And waking screams
That everlast the night
So build a wall
Behind it crawl
And hide until its light
So can't you hear your babies crying now?

Mama they try and break me
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try
Mama they try
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try
Mama they try
