Metallica
The Memory Remains (Live)
[Intro: James Hetfield]
Alright
So, it's obvious that the Metallica family is here alive and well
AND LOUD!
Loud and proud, the way we like it baby
So uh, let's try and top all the other nights okay?
We're gonna see uh, if we can take it to another level
We know you know most of the words, thank God
'Cause I forget 'em sometimes. But anyway
Let's see how loud you do here
[Chorus: James Hetfield and Crowd]
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
But the memory remains
Yeah
[Verse 1: James Hetfield]
Heavy rings on fingers wave
Another star denies the grave
See the nowhere crowd, cry the nowhere tears of honor
Like twisted vines that grow
Hide and swallow mansions whole
Dim the light of an already faded primadonna
[Chorus: James Hetfield and Crowd]
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
But the memory remains
Yeah!
[Verse 2: James Hetfield, James Hetfield & Robert Trujillo]
Heavy rings hold cigarettes
Up to lips that time forgets
See the Hollywood sun set behind your back
Can't the band play on?
Just listen, they play my song
Ash to ash
Dust to dust
Fade to black
[Chorus: James Hetfield, Robert Trujillo]
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane (INSANE)
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
Dance little tin goddess
Sing!
[Bridge: James Hetfield, James Hetfield & Robert Trujillo]
Drift away
Fade away
Little tin goddess
Ash to ash
Dust to dust
Fade to black
[Chorus: James Hetfield, Robert Trujillo]
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane (INSANE)
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
But the memory remains
[Bridge: James Hetfield, Robert Trujillo]
Ash to ash (ash to ash)
Dust to dust (dust to dust)
Fade to black (fade to black)
The memory remains
Yeah
Like a faded primadonna, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Solo: James Hetfield]
Mr. Hammett
[Outro]
Dance little tin goddess dance
Sing it!
