LYRICS
Temptation
Temptation
Temptation
Temptation
The beast still shouts for
what it’s yearning
He stokes the fire, desire burning
The never-ending quenchless craving
The unforgiving misbehaving
If darkness had a son, here I am
Temptation is his father
If darkness had a son, here I am
I bathe in holy water
Temptation, leave me be
Temptation
Temptation
Temptation
Temptation
So paint your eyes as black as sorrow
Hide yourself behind tomorrow
The nightmares search for infiltration
In domination, captivation
If darkness had a son, here I am
Temptation is his father
If darkness had a son, here I am
I bathe in holy water
Temptation, leave me be
Return again to where it’s darkest
Dragging home this heathen harvest
And all the children subjugated
Manipulated, propagated
If darkness had a son, here I am
Temptation is his father
If darkness had a son, here I am
I bathe in holy water
If darkness had a son
Here I am
If darkness had a son
Here I am
If darkness had a son
Here I am
I bathe in holy water
Temptation, leave me be

@@amirhoseinshams256 It can definitely be argued that modern Metallica isn't that good, or at least not as good as they used to be. That being said, there's nothing wrong with still liking them. Millions of people would recommend you different "better" bands, but if you love Metallica, you love Metallica. Nothing wrong with that, friend.

For those who grew up listening to Metallica, like me, should recognize they have improved their musical performance throughout the years, including the lyrics and song arrangements. And, concerning that matter, I don't think it's a secret for any of you that the albums they have produced in the XXI century are quite good, without leaving behind the classical repertoire from the 80s, certainly, being that one which made something themselves for a name.
