Lyrics

[Verse 1]
For whom the bell tolls
Time marches on
(Time marches on)
[Verse 2]
Take a look to the sky
Just before you die
It's the last time you will
[Verse 3]
Blackened roar, massive roar
Fills the crumbling sky
Shattered goal, fills his soul
With a ruthless cry
[Verse 4]
Stranger now, are his eyes
To this mystery
Hears the silence so loud
[Verse 5]
Crack of dawn, all is gone
Except the will to be
Now they see, what will be
Blinded eyes to see
[Verse 6]
For whom the bell tolls
[Verse 7]
(Time marches on)
(Time ma)
[Verse 8]
(Time marches on)
(Time marches on)
Time marches on
Written by: Cliff Burton, James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich
