Moth Into Flame

METALLICA · Hardwired... To Self-Destruct 2016 · Track 04 of 16

Written by James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich

Blacked out Pop queen, amphetamine The screams crashed into silence

Tapped out Doused in the gasoline The high times going timeless

Decadence Death of the innocence The pathway starts to spiral

Infamy All for publicity Destruction going viral

Light it up Ah, light it up Another hit erases all the pain Bulletproof Ah, kill the truth You're falling, but you think you're flying high High again

Sold your soul Built a higher wall Yesterday Now you're thrown away

Same rise and fall Who cares at all? Seduced by fame A moth into the flame

Twisted Backstabbing wicked The delusion absolution

Perjurer Fame is the murderer Seduce you into ruin

Light it up Ah, light it up Another hit erases all the pain Bulletproof Ah, tell the truth You're falling, but you think you're flying high High again

Sold your soul Built the higher wall Yesterday Now you're thrown away

Same rise and fall Who cares at all? Seduced by fame A moth into the flame Burn

Guarantee your name, you go and kill yourself The vultures feast around you still Overdose on shame and insecurity If one won't do that fistful will

Death scene Black hearse the limousine A grave filled with seduction

Vaccine Fame does the murdering She builds up for destruction

So light it up Ah, light it up Another hit erases all the pain Bulletproof Ah, no excuse You're falling, but you think you're flying high High again

Sold your soul Built the higher wall Yesterday Now you're thrown away

Same rise and fall Who cares at all? Seduced by fame A moth into the flame

Addicted to the Fame
