Metallica - Mama Said

Mama Said is the eleventh song on the album Load.
Lyrics:


Mama, she has taught me well
Told me when I's young
Son, your life's an open book
Don't close it 'fore it's done
The brightest flame burns quickest
That's what I heard her say
A son's heart's owed to mother
But I must find my way

Let my heart go
Let your son grow
Mama, let my heart go
Or let this heart be still

"Rebel", my new last name
Wild blood in my veins
Apron strings around my neck
The mark that still remains
left home at an early age
Of what I heard was wrong
I never asked forgiveness
But what is said is done

Let my heart go
Let your son grow
Mama, let my heart go
Or let this heart be still

Never I ask of you
What never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness
I now take to my grave
Never I ask of you
But never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness
I now take to my grave
So let this heart be still

Mama, now I'm coming home
I'm not all you wished of me
But a mother's love for her son
Unspoken, help me be
Oh Yeah I took your love for granted
And all the things you said to me
I need your arms to welcome me
But a cold stone's all I see

Let my heart go
Let your son grow
Mama, let my heart go
Or let this heart be still

Let my heart go
Mama, let my heart go
You never let my heart go
So let this heart be still

Never I ask of you
What never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness
I now take to my grave
Never I ask of you
But never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness
I now take to my grave
So let this heart be still

[MetalUnderground100]

This is country, not metal.

[YourDreamGuy2]

Never I ask of you

What never I gave

But you gave me your emptiness

I now take to my grave

Never I ask of you

But never I gave

But you gave me your emptiness

I now take to my grave

So let this heart be still

@MetalUnderground100 this is metallica's version of country they arent singing bout horses or beer and pick up trucks so far from country

[GamingJourneyMan]

[IamJesusFreek]

4 people don't know what music is.

@LiveToBeHated Because Ride the lightning was so country. All the talk about beer and fucking horses. Not like its about being strapped into an electric chair or anything

[daffodilluvbug]

this is not metal nor country, this is good music.

[TheMDSk8r]

Metallica has a vast range of musical talents. no matter what they song they master it and only the fans that stuck with them through all their transitions and changes in style are true fans call it country but remember it'll always be METALLICA!

[toadman842]

Metallica was a country band the whole time. Ever since kill 'em all. It's always been country metal.

[LiveToBeHated]

Country-allica

[69metallicarules1]

even though metallica isnt a country band, when they write a country song they kick ass!!!!
