[Skit: James Hetfield]

Goddamn coward! Get your ass out of that trench!

Move, move, move, move, move!

Oh shit, oh fuck!

I'm hit, I'm hit, I'm hit, I'm hit!

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

I can't remember anything

Can't tell if this is true or a dream

Deep down inside, I feel the scream

This terrible silence stops me

Now that the war is through with me

I'm waking up, I cannot see

That there's not much left of me

Nothing is real but pain now

[Chorus]

Hold my breath as I wish for death

Oh, please, God, wake me

[Verse 2]

Back in the womb, it's much too real

In pumps life that I must feel

But can't look forward to reveal

Look to the time when I'll live

Fed through the tube that sticks in me

Just like a wartime novelty

Tied to machines that make me be

Cut this life off from me

[Chorus]

Hold my breath as I wish for death

Oh, please, God, wake me

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

Now the world is gone, I'm just one

Oh, God, help me

Hold my breath as I wish for death

Oh, please, God, help me

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]

Darkness, imprisoning me

All that I see, absolute horror

I cannot live, I cannot die

Trapped in myself, body my holding cell

Landmine has taken my sight

Taken my speech, taken my hearing

Taken my arms, taken my legs

Taken my soul, left me with life in Hell

[Guitar Solo]

[Instrumental Outro]
