The Memory Remains (Live)

Lyrics

[Intro: James Hetfield] Alright So, it's obvious that the Metallica family is here, alive and well AND LOUD! Loud and proud, the way we like it baby So uh, let's try and top all the other nights okay? We're gonna see uh, if we can take it to another level We know you know most of the words, thank God 'Cause I forget 'em sometimes. But anyway Let's see how loud you do here [Chorus: James Hetfield and Crowd] Fortune, fame Mirror vain Gone insane But the memory remains Yeah [Verse 1: James Hetfield] Heavy rings on fingers wave Another star denies the grave See the nowhere crowd, cry the nowhere tears of honor Like twisted vines that grow Hide and swallow mansions whole Dim the light of an already faded primadonna [Chorus: James Hetfield and Crowd] Fortune, fame Mirror vain Gone insane Fortune, fame Mirror vain Gone insane But the memory remains Yeah! [Verse 2: James Hetfield, James Hetfield & Robert Trujillo] Heavy rings hold cigarettes Up to lips that time forgets See the Hollywood sun set behind your back Can't the band play on? Just listen, they play my song Ash to ash Dust to dust Fade to black [Chorus: James Hetfield, Robert Trujillo] Fortune, fame Mirror vain Gone insane (INSANE) Fortune, fame Mirror vain Gone insane Dance little tin goddess Sing! [Bridge: James Hetfield, James Hetfield & Robert Trujillo] Drift away Fade away Little tin goddess Ash to ash Dust to dust Fade to black [Chorus: James Hetfield, Robert Trujillo] Fortune, fame Mirror vain Gone insane (INSANE) Fortune, fame Mirror vain Gone insane But the memory remains [Bridge: James Hetfield, Robert Trujillo] Ash to ash (ash to ash) Dust to dust (dust to dust) Fade to black (fade to black) The memory remains Yeah Like a faded primadonna, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah [Solo: James Hetfield] Mr. Hammett [Outro] Dance little tin goddess dance Sing it!
