Metallica - Shadows Follow Lyrics

Hanging by a thread as I play dead
Hanging by a thread and my mind is code red
Cut and run, try to hide
Get away, shut my eyes just to hide from the fate
Cut and run, try to hide
Get away, cover up, get shelter from the hate

Demonized, simplified, tranquilized, prophesized
Just to hide from life
Night and day, led astray, in decay, come what may
Not to face that fight

Seething, breathing, nightmares grow
On I run, still my shadows follow

Never can I stop 'cause they hunt me
Never can I stop 'cause the beast is hungry
Like a wolf on the hunt, stalking prey, closing in
No, it won't let me be
Like a wolf on the hunt, stalks a prey
Any cost, fulfill a destiny

Seething, fast breathing, nightmares grow
On I run, still my shadows follow
On I run but still my shadows follow

Cut and run, hide away from fate, cover up
Try to hide the hate, like a wolf
It will never be closing, wish away, shut my eyes
Wish it away

Seething, fast breathing, nightmares grow
On I run, still my shadows follow

Facing my demons, now I know
If I run, still my shadows follow
I say no, still my shadows follow
