Metallica Death Magnetic Cyanide

6. Cyanide

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 forevermore

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 forevermore

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 forevermore

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

    These lyrics are wrong

    Here’s the real lyrics from the booklet:

    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 forevermore

    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 forevermore

    Say, is that rain or are they tears
    That 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 forevermore

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

    @Dule, Thanks a lot for the correction Dule! The lyrics have now been updated.

    I had the live version lyrics on and forgot to update them with the new studio version when the album came out. Thanks again!
