LYRICS
Feeding on the wrath of man
Shot down
Traumatic
Time haunted by the past
Long gone
Dogmatic
Although the die is cast
Shot down
Volcanic
But what is done is done and done
Look back
Psychotic
No chance before this life began
Staring into black light
Dominating birthright
Wrath of man
Leaching through
Split in two
Wrath of man
Crash into
Point of view
Wrath of man
Violence
Inheritance
Wrath of man
Thrive upon
Feeding on
72 seasons gone
Feeding on the wrath of man
Shoot back
Erratic
Mad seasons take their toll
New mask
Chaotic
Completely lost control
Shoot back
Fanatic
Wither under looming shadow cast
Slip back
Narcotic
Blinded by the ashes of the past
Staring into black light
Choking on the stage fright
Wrath of man
Leaching through
Split in two
Wrath of man
Crash into
Point of view
Wrath of man
Violence
Inheritance
Wrath of man
Thrive upon
Feeding on
72 seasons gone
Piercing through
Cut in two
Polarize
Point of view
Crash into
Paralyze
Feeding on the wrath of man
Man down
Barbaric
Quick fire machine gun thoughts
Deep seed
Stigmatic
Some have and some have not
Man down
Demonic
No mercy from the ghost within
Turn back
Hypnotic
There’s breathing out but not back in
Staring into black light
Permanently midnight
Wrath of man
Leaching through
Split in two
Wrath of man
Crash into
Point of view
Wrath of man
Violence
Inheritance
Wrath of man
Thrive upon
Feeding on
72 seasons gone
Feeding on the wrath of man

Metallica were the band that introduced me to metal when I was 12 years old in 1991. I've been listening to rock and metal nearly everyday since, and the exhilaration never fades. This will be the next album I actually buy.

[@TheLotusMachine]

Similar, I was 12 in '92 and got into the black album, then very quickly the rest of the back catalog, also Iron Maiden at the time, they still hold the top 1 and 2 spots for my favourite albums, Iron Maidens Powerslave at no1 and ...AJFA at No2.!

The song was published 8 hours ago - and now there's more than 8500 thousand comments. For a band as old as I am - that alone - is a masterpiece. Looking forward to buying the original CD - and hoping it will be made as an old-school CD (first I downloaded the Hard Wired to Self Destruct from... somewhere - then ordered the original CD, so good it was). (Edited - by the way - Atlas, Rise! - which is kinda similar to this song - is a brilliant driving song.) Thanks for being there through the years, Metallica - best of metal luck from Latvia.

I cant say no more than then that they are to me the best American band ever. No matter what genre. I have been listening to Metallica since I was 12 beginning with Ride the Lightning. I am so glad to be a part of the Tallica family. They are a huge impact in life. This song is riffy and speedy James sounds amazing Kirk is STILL on fire. Rob is just bringing the heaviness and energy. Lars, annoying as he can be, is a huge part of their sound and production and sound. Love you Lars!!

[@13htorrespr]

I'd have to say your comments is one of the most accurate I've ever read. I totally agree, especially on the Lars comment, yes, he can be annoying and even comes out as conceded, but he is a major part on the arrangements sound etc. I have been listening since RTL also but I was a bit younger ;-) - rock on.
