Metallica The House That Jack Built song lyrics

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, but on my way to where I've been

It swallows me as it takes me in its fog

I twist away as I give this world a nod

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 and down again

Is that the moon or just a light that lights this dead end street?

Is that you there or just another demon that I meet?

The higher you are, the farther you fall

The longer the walk, the farther you crawl

My body, my temple, this temple it tilts

Step into the house that Jack built

The higher you are, the farther you fall

The longer the walk, the farther you crawl

My body, my temple, this temple it tilts

Yes, this is the house that Jack built, yeah

Open doors, as I walk inside

Swallow me so the pain subsides

And I shake as I take this in

Let the show begin

Let the show begin

Let the show begin

The higher you are, the farther you fall

The longer the walk, the farther you crawl

My body, my temple, this temple it tilts

Yes, this is the house that Jack built

The higher you are, the farther you fall

The longer the walk, the farther you crawl

My body, my temple, this temple it tilts

Yes, I am, I am, I am

Open my eyes, it swallows me

Is that you there? I twist away

Away, away, away
