Cover art for Now That We're Dead lyrics by Metallica

This song is about the crave for death. Shall i say its a Suicide Endorsment song. Don't belive me? Or is my bad english that bothers you? Well...

When darkness falls, may it be That we should see the light.- Its simple when you died you became happy When reaper calls, may it be That we walk straight and right.- When the time to die is came you will not run away.

When doubt returns, may it be That faith shall permeate our scars.- When you have doubt grab unto the faith (metalicca is ateist btw) and those scars are selfharm wich is common within suicidal personalities. When we’re seduced, then may it be That we not deviate our cause.- And the cause is Death.

All sinners, a future All saints, a past Beginning, the ending Return to ash.- Everything will die in the end.

Now that we're dead, my dear We can be together.- Thats plane and simple a lie. Now that we're dead, my dear We can live, we can live forever.- Thats plane and simple a lie. Both of wich connected to the theme of death is happiness.

When all is pain, may it be It’s all we’ve ever known.- This is a tipical mentality of a suicid person. When flame consumes, may it be It warms our dying bones.- again dying is goood

When loss has won, may it be It’s you I’m madly fighting for.- i like that one, when loss (of life) has won, thats what you fighting for. To be honest this song makes me sick and in the i will explane why. When kingdom comes, may it be We walk right through that open door.- Yep right into heaven, said by an atheist how despise faith becouse he blame religion over his mother death.

All sinners, a future All saints, a past Beginning, the ending Return to ash

Now that we're dead, my dear We can be together Now that we're dead, my dear We can live, we can live forever

All sinners, a future All saints, a past Beginning, the ending Return to ash

Now that we're dead, my dear We can be together Now that we're dead, my dear We can live, we can live forever Return to ashes, shed this skin Beyond the black, we rise again We shall live forever- So lets die so we can live forever, after we died. Dont you get it? Well than maybe you dont heard form this little pos: https://youtu.be/05eIEJoxAh8

He is 21 year old guy who was gone into psychology university but only one year than he decide to make a VK page where they speakd young teenegers into suicede. And that is very common in Ukraine and other post soviet countries, becouse the videos of there suicede or there suffering can be transfomed into cash in the Deepweb or Darkweb. This song is something that very much remind me of him, becouse he use the same kinda reasoning when suggested the act (you are fat but in an other life you are beutifull. So die and you gonna be beutifull). The song itself is an endorsment i have no doubt about it. I just dont understand would some rich oldfart would endorse of selfkilling. But who am i to judge, right?

I hope he got the good old russian gulag welcome wich my great grand father was happily endured.

So this webpage doesnt let me put yt videos in: Search for russian suicide groups with whales and butterfly. Or Rina Palenkova. The guy nam is Filipp Bugyejkin, but thats how we in Hungary wrote it, so not like other countries.

@smting Actually, James Hetfield believes in some form of a higher power as of an interview this year. I do not believe he has a specific faith despite his tattoos of Christ. However, the lyrics to this song are profound from a spiritual point of view if you interpret it that way, and that Oscar Wilde quote (all sinners a future, all saints a past) is quite commonly discussed in theological circles.
