Metallica Hero of the Day song lyrics

Mama, they try and break me.

the window burns to light the way back home

a light that warms no matter where

they've gone.

they're off to find the hero of the day

but what if they should fall by someone's wicked way?

still the window burns, time so slowly turns

someone there is sighing

keepers of the flames

do you feel your names?

do you hear your babies crying?

mama they try and break me

still they try and break me

'scuse me while i tend to how i feel

these things return to me that still seem real

now deservingly this easy chair

but the rocking stops by wheels of despair

don't want your aid

but the fist i've made for years won't hold or feel

no i'm not all me

so please excuse me while i tend to how i fell

but now the dreams and waking screams that ever last through the night (echoed between james and jason)

So build the wall behind it crawl and hide until it's light

can you hear your babies crying now?

still the window burns

time so slowly turns

and someone there is sighing

keepers of the flames, can't you feel your names?

can't you hear your babies crying?

but now the dreams and waking

screams that

ever last the night

so build a wall behind it crawl

and hide until it's light

so can't you hear your babies crying now?

mama they try and break me

mama they try and break me

mama they try and break me

mama they try mama they try

mama they try and break me

mama they try and break me

mama they try and break me

mama they try and break me

mama they try and break me

mama they try and break me

mama they try mama they try
