Welcome Home (Sanitarium) (Metallica cover) Lyrics

Welcome to where time stands still
no one leaves and no one will
Moon is full, never seems to change
just labeled mentally deranged
Dream the same thing every night
I see our freedom in my sight
No locked doors, No windows barred
No things to make my brain seem scarred

Sleep my friend and you will see
that dream is my reality
They keep me locked up in this cage
can't they see it's why my brain says Rage

Sanitarium, leave me be
Sanitarium, just leave me alone

Build my fear of what's out there
and cannot breathe the open air
Whisper things into my brain
assuring me that I'm insane
They think our heads are in their hands
but violent use brings violent plans
Keep him tied, it makes him well
he's getting better, can't you tell?

No more can they keep us in
Listen, damn it, we will win
They see it right, they see it well
but they think this saves us from our hell

Sanitarium, leave me be
Sanitarium, just leave me alone
Sanitarium, just leave me alone

Fear of living on
natives getting restless now
Mutiny in the air
got some death to do
Mirror stares back hard
Kill, it's such a friendly word
seems the only way
for reaching out again

The original was based off the book "One Flew Over The Cookoo's Nest" by Ken Kesey. to me: well...the song that is...the narrator has people telling him that he's insane, and the narrator responding with a resounding "f*** you"

Not Valid

why do you guys have to compare two fuckin awesome bands!!! that's the one thing that ubgs me the most!

Not Valid

Feh, must we fight? Some think its a terrible cover song for Metallica, others think it's a fucking kick ass song, hell, even some think both the original and the cover from Bullet For My Valentine are kick ass!! And honestly, I think Bullet For My Valentine is really just trying to flatter Metallica, most cover bands do that. It merely shows their respect, I bet the band even think that the originals better. Its not like they were trying to copy Metallica, just showing their appreciation for what Metallica has done for bands today. And besides waht people post...
