Metallica Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let us escape the cruel night
Let us have time, let the sun shine
Let us beware the deadly sign
The day is coming
Armageddon's near
Inferno's coming
The blitzkrieg
The blitzkrieg
Save us from fate, save us from hate
Save ourselves before it's too late
Come to our need, hear our plea
Save ourselves before the earth bleeds
The day is dawning
The time is near
Aliens calling
Can we survive the blitzkrieg?
(Hahahaha)
(I fucked up in one place)
