[Intro: James Hetfield]
I don't know if any of you know this
But we are fucking Metallica!
We're a bunch of alcoholics from California
So I want all of you along with us on this one
This is for all the people who've got the demo and all the old stuff
This one is entitled, "Phantom Lord"

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Sound is ripping through your ears
Deafening sound of metal nears
Bodies waiting for his whips
The taste of leather on your lips

[Chorus]
Hear the cry of war, louder than before
With his sword in hand to control the land
Crushing metal strikes on this frightening night
Fall onto your knees for the Phantom Lord

[Verse 2]
Victims falling under chains
Hear them crying dying pains
Fist of terrors breaking through
Now therе's nothing you can do
[Chorus]
Hear the cry of war, louder than bеfore
With his sword in hand to control the land
Crushing metal strikes on this frightening night
Fall onto your knees for the Phantom Lord

[Guitar Solo]

[Instrumental Break]

[Interlude: James Hetfield]
Come on, you nut, get them hands up
Come on! Get 'em up
Hey, hey, hey

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Leathered armies have prevailed
Phantom Lord has never failed
Smoke is lifting from the ground
The rising-volume metal sound

[Chorus]
Hear the cry of war, louder than before
With his sword in hand to control the land
Crushing metal strikes on this frightening night
Fall onto your knees for the Phantom Lord
[Outro]
Fall to your knees
And bow to the Phantom Lord
