    LYRICS
    Temptation
    Temptation
    Temptation
    Temptation
    The beast still shouts for what it’s yearning
    He stokes the fire, desire burning
    The never-ending quenchless craving
    The unforgiving misbehaving
    If darkness had a son, here I am
    Temptation is his father
    If darkness had a son, here I am
    I bathe in holy water
    Temptation, leave me be
    Temptation
    Temptation
    Temptation
    Temptation
    So paint your eyes as black as sorrow
    Hide yourself behind tomorrow
    The nightmares search for infiltration
    In domination, captivation
    If darkness had a son, here I am
    Temptation is his father
    If darkness had a son, here I am
    I bathe in holy water
    Temptation, leave me be
    Return again to where it’s darkest
    Dragging home this heathen harvest
    And all the children subjugated
    Manipulated, propagated
    If darkness had a son, here I am
    Temptation is his father
    If darkness had a son, here I am
    I bathe in holy water
    If darkness had a son
    Here I am
    If darkness had a son
    Here I am
    If darkness had a son
    Here I am
    I bathe in holy water
    Temptation, leave me be

      JESUS CHRIST ALONE DIED FOR YOUR SINS & WAS RESURRECTED FROM THE GRAVE! HE IS ALIVE & COMING BACK ANY DAY WITH JUDGEMENT (THESE ARE END DAYS)! TIME IS ALMOST UP! PREPARE YOURSELVES, TURN FROM SIN & RUN TO JESUS! HE KNOWS YOUR PAIN & TROUBLES, HE WANTS TO HEAL & RESTORE YOU! CONFESS YOUR SINS TO HIM, ASK HIM TO FORGIVE YOU! HE LONGS FOR YOU TO INVITE HIM INTO YOUR HEART & LIFE, HE LOVES YOU MORE THAN ANY PERSON EVER COULD, HE CREATED YOU!
      Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."-John 14:6
      "But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven."-Matthew 10:33
      “For the wages of sin is death (hell), but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord”-Romans 6:23

Did you know James and Lars considered Iron Maiden rivals? WOW! Just like Kiss did. There are and were so many superb bands out there... and you dont take a look at them. Obliveon, Atheist, Equinox, Sadus, Gorement! Music not money.

      Some songs are even in higher key like F# (2nd fret), A (A open string) and B (A string 2nd fret) but they are still heavy as fuck. It's all about how they play it, the arrangements, the instrumentation and the progression...
      Metallica still defines metal for me, there are many better bands but I still use Metallica as standard.

      Abuse, Depression, Suicide. A lot the older songs James wrote too. Kinda funny how Metallica won me over with just the music side of it when I was younger (I'm a guitar player), I understood the lyrics, but I just didn't actually "feel" them. Now in my early 30s I've been to a psych ward, rehab, abused a handful of substances, ODd, made mistakes, life experience, etc and going back to Metallica now I can empathize much more with the hell James lived through, and I'm worried about his mental state, as he's going through a divorce and shit. He opened up to a crowd about his depression not too long ago. Hope he's ok and knows he's made a positive impact in a lot of people's lives.

But they always are still trying to be "Metallica" while failing at being Metallica during the Loads and St. Anger session. You can hear it in their songwriting that they actually have never changed their formula from Kill Em All all the way through their career, they never stopped being Metallica, I just feel like they were trying to take the alternative/hard rock and Nu metal sound a different direction and make it their own, and unfortunately failing at it. That's just how I feel about those eras.

    The more I listen to this song the more I love it. It's so eerie and atmospheric. And it builds slowly, instead of staying at one mood the whole way through. Metallica still got it.

    Lyrics:
    Temptation
    Temptation
    Temptation
    Temptation
    The beast still shouts for what it's yearning
    He stokes the fire, desire burning
    The never-ending quenchless craving
    The unforgiving misbehaving
    If darkness had a son, here I am
    Temptation is his father
    If darkness had a son, here I am
    I bathe in holy water
    Temptation, leave me be
    Temptation
    Temptation
    Temptation
    Temptation
    So paint your eyes as black as sorrow
    Hide yourself behind tomorrow
    The nightmares search for infiltration
    In domination, captivation
    If darkness had a son, here I am
    Temptation is his father
    If darkness had a son, here I am
    I bathe in holy water
    Temptation, leave me be
    Return again to where it's darkest
    Dragging home this heathen harvest
    And all the children subjugated
    Manipulated, propagated
    If darkness had a son, here I am
    Temptation is his father
    If darkness had a son, here I am
    I bathe in holy water
    If darkness had a son, here I am
    If darkness had a son, here I am
    If darkness had a son, here I am
    I bathe in holy water
    Temptation, leave me be

      I think it's the same guy, Greg Fidelman; he's still annoying me. The sound is the best since ReLoad, but while no longer clipping, it's still brickwalled. I feel like Lux Aeterna is the only song with a bit of room for the reverb, which that song seems to have a lot of. I got back to Lightning or Muppets or Load to hear the breathing room.

      At least he is isn’t doing the squealing in this song.
      Thanks to Bob Rock’s influence, I think since “The Black Album,” he’s tried too hard and got pretty cheesy.
      He’s much better when he just sings as himself and doesn’t try to add all of the “artifacts” in like squeals, et cetera.

    • @ThrashRebel
      @ThrashRebel Год назад +4

      @@staygold902 everything they’ve done has been over-produced since “the black album.”
      They, clearly, were more concerned with radio play and profits.
      Most of the other “big four” bands have stayed fairly true to themselves.
      But, then again, maybe James and Lars are staying true to themselves. Maybe their political awareness and desire for complexity was just a phase. Maybe they changed and no longer care about the state of the nation, the state of the people, the death of democracy, the ravages of war.
      Maybe now, they just want to write music that is simple to play and people can shake their booties to it.
      However, I will give them respect for this song. It’s got a dark feel.
      I’ve got to give some respect. Metallica had a little an influence on me when I started writing thrash metal and playing in bands.
      Although, admittedly, I was MORE (musically) influenced Hexanhaus, Overkill and Death Angel.
      Jame’s vocal style definitely (originally) influenced my style.
      I just wish they would care about social issues, again. They have the power to influence people, wake them the f… up.
      But, I guess, once some people become wealthy, they become detached from the struggles of people who are less affluent. I guess they no longer care about service members who get used like pawns in illegal wars.
      I cared, in my teens. I joined (for financial reasons). I served in an illegal invasion. So, my level of care about corruption only increased with age.
      I just wish Jame’s still cared about service members, and other who struggle.
      He used to care about freedom and had a dislike for corruption. I wish he still would.

    Fantastic! I love when James uses a more raspy tone instead of the higher pitched singing. This has so much better of a feel for me. The whole band is sharp and on point in this. Love the longer intro where all the band members get to strut a bit. Love it guys! Been jamming these boys since the 80's and this catches my attention.
