Metallica - The House Jack Built

open doors so I walk inside
close my eyes find my place to hide
and I shake as I take it in
let the show begin


open my eyes
just to have them close again
well on my way
on my way to where I graze
it swallows me
as it takes me in his home
I twist away
as I kill this world


open doors so I walk inside
close my eyes find my place to hide
and I shake as I take it in
let the show begin


open my eyes
just to have them close once again
don`t want control
as It takes me down and down again
is that the moon
or just a light that lights this deadend street?
is that you there
or just another demon that I meet?


the higher you walk
the farther you fall
the longer the walk
the farther you crawl
my body my temple
this temple it tells
"step into the house that Jack built"


the higher you walk
the farther you fall
the longer the walk
the farther you crawl
my body my temple
this temple it tells
"yes this is the house that Jack built"


open doors as I walk inside
swallow me so the pain subsides
and I shake as I take this in


let the show begin


the higher you walk
the farther you fall
the longer the walk
the farther you crawl
my body my temple
this temple it tells
"yes this is the house that Jack built"


the higher you walk
the farther you fall
the longer the walk
the farther you crawl
my body my temple
this temple it tells
"yes I am I am I am"


open my eyes
it swallows me
is that you there
I twist away
away
away
away
