Metallica - Phantom Lord (Eb tuning)

phantom lord in eb tuning (half step down)

Lyrics:

Sound is ripping through your ears
The deafening sound of metal nears
Your body's waiting for his whips
The taste of leather on your lips

Hear the cry of war
Louder than before
With his sword in hand
To control the land
Crushing metal strikes
On this frightening night
Fall onto your knees
For the Phantom Lord

Victims falling under chains
You hear them crying dying pains
Fist of terror's breaking through
Now there's nothing you can do

Hear the cry of war
Louder than before
With his sword in hand
To control the land
Crushing metal strikes
On this frightening night
Fall onto your knees
For the Phantom Lord

The leather armies have prevailed
The Phantom Lord has never failed
Smoke is lifting from the ground
The rising volume metal sound

Hear the cry of war
Louder than before
With his sword in hand
To control the land
Crushing metal strikes
On this frightening night
Fall onto your knees
For the Phantom Lord

Fall to your knees
And bow to the Phantom Lord

First clean riff Metallica ever recorded

[unclejack]

to all the Kill 'Em All lovers outta here - I highly recommend the album "Metal and Hell" by Polish thrashers from Kat - an 80's band heavily influenced by early Metallica and Venom!
"Metal and Hell", "Devil's Child" and "Oracle" are among the best songs off the record.
Also check out the live album "38 Minutes of life", sang in Polish and recorded when Kat was the support before Metallica's show in Poland in 1987!

Sound is ripping through your ears
The deafening sound of metal nears
Your bodies waiting for his whips
The taste of leather on your lips

Hear the cry of war louder than before
With his sword in hand to control the land
Crushing metal strikes on this frightening night
Fall onto your knees for the phantom lord

Victims falling under chains you hear them crying death pains
The fists of terrors breaking through now there's nothing you can do

Hear the cry of war louder than before
With his sword in hand to control the land
Crushing metal strikes on this frightening night
Fall onto your knees for the phantom lord

The leather armies have prevailed the phantom lord has never failed
Smoke is lifting from the ground the rising volume metal sound

Hear the cry of war louder than before
With his sword in hand to control the land
Crushing metal strikes on this frightening night
Fall onto your knees for the phantom lord

Seeing them play with Dave put a smile on my face

Dave wrote it. They shouldn't have kicked him out. He and Cliff are the best songwriters that Metallica ever had.

[wolfisx]

This song's riff sounds like a Motorhead riff without Lemmy's overly distorted bass
