Metallica - Leper Messiah Lyrics (HD)

Metallica - Leper Messiah

I do not own this song, the song is property of Metallica

[colincheshire]

This song, Frayed Ends Of Sanity, and Trapped Under Ice are the most underrated Metallica songs ever

[gasper]

this song really shows james' lyrical skills

[cashmoney]

this song is underrated in my opinion. The riff is so badass!!

[aidanmcmullan]

Am I the only one who thinks this is the most underrated metallica song. This is actually my favorite song ever

[dabbydabs]

I love this kind of religious gospel music! Lyrics are on point, riffs dominate.

[Jules-gyyf]

Spineless from the start, sucked into the part
Circus comes to town, you play the lead clown
Please, please
Spreading his disease, living by his story
Knees, knees
Falling to your knees, suffer for his glory
You will

Time for lust, time for lie
Time to kiss your life goodbye
Send me money, send me green
Heaven you will meet
Make a contribution
And you'll get a better seat
Bow to Leper Messiah

Marvel at his tricks, need your Sunday fix
Blind devotion came, rotting your brain
Chain, chain
Join the endless chain
Taken by his glamour
Fame, Fame
Infection is the game, stinking drunk with power
We see

Time for lust, time for lie
Time to kiss your life goodbye
Send me money, send me green
Heaven you will meet
Make a contribution
And you'll get a better seat
Bow to Leper Messiah

Witchery, weakening
Sees the sheep are gathering
Set the trap, hypnotize
Now you follow

Time for lust, time for lie
Time to kiss your life goodbye
Send me money, send me green
Heaven you will meet
Make a contribution
And you'll get a better seat

Lie
Lie
Lie
Lie
Lie
Lie
Lie
Lie

What a great song. Metallica is awesome. I'll listen to them when I'm 85 and can't hear lol. What a great band. Good music lives forever. ROCK ON BOYS!

[ryangoodrow]

Originally this was one of my least favorite songs on the album, but as I listened to it more and more, learning the riff, it slowly became my favorite song from the Burton Era

[NilkkiNikke]

James' line "now you follow" is hella cool. The nuance in it is so awesome!

[pedronobre]

34 years later and I still have same emotions my heart gets full joy

[birb]

So, se should bow to the Leper Messiah or to the Phantom Lord?

[jefffecteau]

This about False Prophets. It's not bashing on God and Jesus and the Bible. There are a ton of False Prophets or hypocritical preachers and priests out there but there are some that are honest and trustworthy. You just need to know when to answer the door when opportunity knocks.

[geno]

Love the lyrics to this classical masterpiece song long live Metallica!!!!

[michaelstephen]

I saw Metallica only twice - once on this tour and once on the Justice tour. That's how I want to remember them - awesome.

[Cedrihar]

One of the best tracks, from THE best album Metallica ever made

[alexanderdamnjanovic]

you can really feel the anger in james voice about the lyrics and how angry he really is

[matthewclayton]

In this case Leper Messiah is talking about Preachers who used people to make money, by having them donate money.  (I think)

[tofu_golem]

For those who don't know, this song is about televangelists who prey on the poor and vulnerable.

It was a popular topic in in 1980s because of various televangelist scandals, but James Hetfield's parents were suckered by a televangelist, so he has personal resentment there.

[Dewitt-bn]

I was 12 years old when MOP came out. I had kill and Lightning on vinyl.Vinyl sounds much richer than any digital format.

[synchrohighs]

You can catch leprosy from a supposed armadillo but in my opinion he's an armoured saint! I love them little shits
