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 Follow Metallica: Website & Store: https://www.metallica.com Maximum Metallica on SiriusXM: https://metallica.lnk.to/MaximumMetallica Official Live Recordings: https://www.nugs.net/metallica Discord: https://discord.gg/metallicaofficial Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/metallica Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/metallica TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@metallica © 2026 Blackened Recordings #Metallica #Sphere #LifeBurnsFaster #WelcomeHomeSanitarium
