Metallica: Crown of Barbed Wire (Official Lyric Video)

Metallica’s official lyric video for “Crown of Barbed Wire,” from the album “72 Seasons.”

LYRICS

So tight this crown of barbed wire
Its destiny I wear
It splits the skin to the soul
This jagged wreath I bear
 
This rusted empire I own
Bleed as I rust on this throne
Pierce
Me
With torment
And all the rust that I own
 
So tight
This crown of barbed wire
So tight
This crown of barbed wire
So tight this crown
 
Fist tight, it stains conviction
Drips down to bloodshot eyes
It crushes down what is real
Deep crimson blots the skies
 
This rusted empire I own
Bleed as I rust on this throne
Pierce
Me
With torment
And all the rust that I own
 
So tight
This crown of barbed wire
So tight
This crown of barbed wire
So tight this crown
 
This rusted empire I own
Bleed as I rust on this throne
Pierce
Me
With torment
And all the rust that I own
 
So tight
This crown of barbed wire
So tight
This crown of barbed wire
So tight this crown

[MartijnvanderHoeven]

After the Black Album, now we have THE YELLOW ALBUM💛

[zaqwertyfish]

'We'll never stop, We'll never quit, cuz we're Metallica! ' ... 40 years later, and you guys have proven it.

[Senor_Fast]

That main riff is so bad ass. I can't get enough of it.

[melduncan]

I love how they're not afraid of the Load-era-type grooves. That with thrashy solos and multiple change ups really define this album. It's so strong!

[courtneyurman]

The way James twists his voice on "wire" in the chorus just slithers up my spine in the best way.

[chriswilson]

Best song on the album! Yep.

When James says "So tight this crown". Sounds strait off Load / Reload. Awesome!

[BedProductions]

Welp. Looks like I'm not sleeping tonight. I've got METALLICA TO LISTEN TO! ROCK ON METALHEADS! 🤟

[StengrimSundman]

What Metallica make in their 60's, is what all other metal bands wish they could make just once!

[Maggai]

James really hitting new heights vocally on this album, the vibrato he does in the chorus is great, and unlike anything he's really done before on a Metallica album I think.

[arguitar]

I don’t care what people say. Metallica will always be my favorite band!

[ΧρήστοςΓ-χπ]

I can imagine Layne Staley smiling proud while listening to that chorus!

[victormetal]

This is pure medicine for every metal soul. Metallica fever

[gt]

This song is fantastic. The main riff is tasty. The chorus is catchy and makes you want to sing along. James sounds great. The pace is slower and that makes for a heavy feel. The solo is almost sing along worthy.

[Darkest_knight]

I love the groovy sound of this track, one of my favorites of the album

[seriousswen]

I was hoping to hear an even better song in cinema then the ones released before and this one is the best on the album. Its hard and groovy, the rhythm grabbed me immediately!

[oliverhayirli]

3:18 ... cause everyone seems to need the cure 😁
I get a lot of Load/Reload vibes from this Album and I absolutely love it 🔥

[RT]

Greatest band of all time and nobody can tell me otherwise.

[wildisaiah]

The songs on this album are killer but what's even cooler is that this music has brought us all together. No matter the language spoken, all are apart of MetFamily! I love it 🤘

[pdinardo]

RightOn Metallica!! 40 yrs and still writing and playing stuff like this!!! Absolutely Rocking

[jankiebasa]

I'm truly surprised with all of this medicore reviews "72 Seasons" got all over internet. It's easily best Metallica stuff since Black Album!
