Mettallica's Enter Sandman: Are these lyrics poetry?
Brent Jones
Words to the song, “Enter Sandman”. Perhaps unexpected with the rythm of the song? Perhaps an intreging blend of thoughts? Perhaps no appropriate? Perhaps just fine?
Say your prayers, little one, don't forget, my son To include everyone I tuck you in, warm within, keep you free from sin 'Til the Sandman, he comes
Sleep with one eye open Gripping your pillow tight
Exit light Enter night Take my hand We're off to never-never land
Something's wrong, shut the light, heavy thoughts tonight And they aren't of Snow White Dreams of war, dreams of liars, dreams of dragons' fire And of things that will bite, yeah
Sleep with one eye open Gripping your pillow tight
Exit light Enter night Take my hand We're off to never-never land Yeah-yeah
Now, I lay me down to sleep (now, I lay me down to sleep) Pray the Lord my soul to keep (pray the Lord my soul to keep) If I die before I wake (if I die before I wake) Pray the Lord my soul to take (pray the Lord my soul to take) Hush, little baby, don't say a word And never mind that noise you heard It's just the beast under your bed In your closet, in your head
Exit light Enter night Grain of sand
Exit light Enter night Take my hand We're off to never-never land (yeah)
Oh! Yeah-yeah, no We're off to never-never land Take my hand We're off to never-never land Take my hand We're off to never-never land We're off to never-never land We're off to never-never land We're off to never-never land
