Metallica
The Thing That Should Not Be (Live Seattle 8/29/89)
[Intro]
All right, how's everybody doing? All right, mate?
Shh-, I'm having a fucking good time tonight, I tell you that right now
It's fuckin' happening, man, very happy
Ah, we're going to go back to the Master of Puppets album
And do something we just started doing a little bit ago, a few days ago
So, just kind of hang out with us, will you?
The fucking heaviest number known to mankind
Big fat mother fucker called "The Thing That Should Not Be"

[Verse 1]
Messenger of fear in sight
Dark deception kills the light
Hybrid children watch the sea
Pray for Father, roaming free

[Chorus]
Fearless wretch, insanity
He watches, lurking beneath the sea
Great Old One, forbidden site
He searches, hunter of the shadows is rising
Immortal
In madness you dwell

[Verse 2]
Crawling chaos, underground
Cult has summoned twisted sound
Out from ruins once possessed
Fallen city, living death
[Chorus]
Fearless wretch, insanity
He watches, lurking beneath the sea
Timeless sleep has been upset
He awakens, hunter of the shadows is rising
Immortal
In madness you dwell

Yeah!
[Guitar Solo]

In madness you dwell
[Grunts]

[Verse 3]
Not dead, which eternal lie
Stranger eons death may die
Drain you of your sanity
Face the thing that should not be

[Chorus]
Fearless wretch, insanity
He watches, lurking beneath the sea
Great Old One, forbidden site
He awakens, hunter of the shadows is rising
Immortal
In madness we dwell
Yea-heh!
Face the thing that should not be
