Veteran Of The Psychic Wars
Metallica
[Intro] / x8 A5 - let ring [Verse 1] You see me now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars I’ve been living on the edge so long where the winds of limbo roar And I’m young enough to look at and far too old to see All my scars are on the inside I’m not sure that there’s anything left of me [Pre-Chorus] Don’t let these shakes go on it’s time we had a break from it [Interlude] [Pre-Chorus] It’s time we had some leave [Chorus] We’ve been living in the flames We’ve been eating up our brains Oh please don’t let these shakes go on. [Verse 2] You ask me why I’m weary why I can’t speak to you You blame me for my silence say it’s time I changed and grew But the war’s still going on dear and there’s no end that I know And I can’t stand forever I can’t say if we’re ever gonna be free [Pre-Chorus] Don’t let these shakes go on it’s time we had a break from it [Interlude] [Pre-Chorus] It’s time we had some leave [Chorus] We’ve been living in the flames We’ve been eating at our brains Oh please don’t let these shakes go on. [Guitar Solo] x6 x2 [Verse 3] You see me now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars My energy is spent at last and my armor is destroyed I have used up all my weapons and I’m helpless and bereaved Wounds are all I’m made of Did I hear you say that this is victory? [Pre-Chorus] No! Don’t let these shakes go on it’s time we had a break from it [Interlude] [Pre-Chorus] It’s time we had some leave [Chorus] We’ve been living in the flames We’ve been eating at our brains Oh please don’t let these shakes go on. Don’t let these shakes go ooooon! Don’t let these shakes go ooooon.
