Lyrics

[Verse 1: Lou Reed] I am a chorus of the voices That gather up the magnets, set before me I attract you and repel you A science of the heart and blood and meaning The coldness of most beauties is a challenge that our youth must quickly conquer There is no time for guilt Or second guessing, second guessing Based on feeling I am the truth, the beauty That causes you to cross your sacred boundaries I have no morals, some think me cheap And someone who despises The normalcy of heartbreak, the purity of love But I worship the young and just formed angel Who sits upon the pin of lust Everything else bores me [Pre-Chorus: Lou Reed] I want to see your suicide I want to see you give it up Your life of reason I want you on the floor And in a coffin your soul shaking I want to have you doubting Every meaning you've amassed like a fortune Oh, throw it away For worship of someone who actively despises you For worship of someone who actively despises you [Chorus: James Hetfield] I am the root I am the progress I'm the aggressor I am the tablet These ten stories [Verse 2: Lou Reed] Worship, worship Pain and evil have their place sitting here beside me I offer them to you as servants Of the gold that you must give Pain and evil have their place sitting here beside me And I will offer them, I offer them to you As servants of the gold that you must give to me [Pre-Chorus: Lou Reed] I want to see your suicide I want to see you give it up Give it up, your, your life of reason I want to see you on the floor And in a coffin, soul shaking, soul shaking I want to have you doubting Every meaning you've amassed like a fortune Like a fortune, throw it away For worship of someone who actively despises you Who actively despises you [Chorus: James Hetfield] I am the view I am the table I am the view, I am the table I am all this I am the root The progress The aggressor I am the table I am the ten stories I am the table I am, I am, I am, I am I am [Instrumental Outro]
