Metallica - WELCOME HOME (SANITARIUM)

Sometimes you are in this mood to hear some rockifying awesome Music from your Youth!

Heros! Saw them first live back in 1989 in front of a 100,000 crowd in Mannheim / Germany

Listen and Read!

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
The 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
Can I 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

I love this song! :))

Hello my friend
Happy day ... beautiful music

Awesome!!

Love Metallica, seeing them live finally next month!

Awesome, where?

Toronto Canada!

Metallica doesn't need lyrics to be great you know.

Yeah! That's when I was born :-)

you look much younger :-)

Haha, no I'm not.

Not sure, is it already a compliment if someone thinks you're younger (if you are my age)?
If yes, thank you :-)

I get goosebumps every time I hear this song

Back when they all had hair :) I was never that into them, but I like some of their songs

I loved them with hair and was struggling to buy their suff when they had our hair style :-)

I used to get some laughs from pictures of 'hair metal' bands trying to look tough. Metallica didn't go to the extremes of some. I've never had long hair

Lol true, nor me, lost hair too early

Metallica are awesome. I have always loved Kirk Hammett's guitar solos on this song from Master of Puppets album. I saw Metallica live in Perth, Australia many moons ago. I actually even started playing guitar as a result. What a great clip. Many thanks for posting this.

Thanks to Metallica my mom regret buying me mi first drum set. Good memories.

Epic band and song! If it weren't for this band I wouldn't be the guitarist I am today! Upvoted and Following!!!
