Say your prayers little one
don't forget, my son
to include everyone

tuck you in, warm within
keep you free from sin
till the sandman he comes

sleep with one eye open
gripping your pillow tight

exit light
enter night
take my hand
off to never never land

something's wrong, shut the light
heavy thoughts tonight
and they aren't of snow white

dreams of war, dreams of liars
dreams of dragon's fire
and of things that will bite

sleep with one eye open
gripping your pillow tight

exit light
enter night
take my hand
off to never never land

now I lay me down to sleep
pray the lord my soul to keep
if I die before I wake
pray the lord my soul to take

hush little baby, don't say a word
and never mind that noise you heard
it's just the beast under your bed,
in your closet, in your head

exit light
enter night
grain of sand

exit light
enter night
take my hand
we're off to never never land

Enter Sandman. The song that started it all for me.



Yes, after I heard this song for the first time, I realised Metallica had lost the plot. Unfortunately, I didn't realise at the time the depths they would sink to.
If only Lar$ had been sleeping in Cliff's bunk that night.........

Enter Sandman.

"The death knoll for Metallica."

There are nearly two different bands named Metallica.
The one of yesterday, who were probably the Beatles of modern heavy metal,
and made some truly great music such as their opus album "Master of Puppets".

and then...

We have the Metallica of today, who produced "St. Anger" wich is probably one of the worst Heavy Metal albums (if you can even call it metal anymore) Ive heard in at least a decade.

"Enter Sandman", was the clear signal to Metallica fans at the time, that the best music from that group had already been written.

Its been downhill from there, hasnt it?
