Metallica - If Darkness Had a Son

Lyrics by : James Hetfield/Kirk Hammett/Lars Ulrich

Composed by : James Hetfield/Kirk Hammett/Lars Ulrich

Temptation

Temptation

Temptation

Temptation

The beast still shouts for what it's yearning

He stokes the fire desire burning

The never-ending quenchless craving

The unforgiving misbehaving

If darkness had a son here I am

Temptation is his father

If darkness had a son here I am

I bathe in holy water

Temptation leave me be

Temptation

Temptation

Temptation

Temptation

So paint your eyes as black as sorrow

Hide yourself behind tomorrow

The nightmares search for infiltration

In domination captivation

If darkness had a son here I am

Temptation is his father

If darkness had a son here I am

I bathe in holy water

Temptation leave me be

Return again to where it's darkest

Dragging home this heathen harvest

And all the children subjugated

Manipulated propagated

If darkness had a son here I am

Temptation is his father

If darkness had a son here I am

I bathe in holy water

If darkness had a son

Here I am

If darkness had a son

Here I am

If darkness had a son

Here I am

I bathe in holy water

Temptation leave me be
