Lyrics of Enter Sandman by Metallica

intro

Yeah! Let loose, man!

verse

Say your prayers, little one
Don't forget, my son
To include everyone
I tuck you in, warm within
Keep you free from sin
'Til the Sandman, he comes

pre-chorus

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

chorus

Exit light, what is it?
(Enter night)
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land
Yeah, yeah

verse

Something's wrong, shut the light
Heavy thoughts tonight
And they aren't of Snow White
Dreams of war, dreams of liars
Dreams of dragon's fire
And of things that will bite, yeah

pre-chorus

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

chorus

Exit light, come on
(Enter night)
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land
Oh yeah

bridge

Put your hands together
Now I lay me down to sleep (now I lay me down to sleep)
Pray the Lord my soul to keep (pray the Lord my soul to keep)
If I die before I wake (if I die before I wake)
Pray the Lord my soul to take

bridge

Hush little baby, don't say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
It's just the beasts under your bed
In your closet, in your head

chorus

Exit light, come on
(Enter night)
Grain of sand
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
Off to never-never land
Yeah, yeah, yeah

outro

We're off to never-never land
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land

outro

Thank you very much, France
That felt good, man, thanks for coming on down here, man
Making us feel good
Writer(s): Lars Ulrich, James Alan Hetfield, Kirk L. Hammett
