Metallica – If darkness had a son Lyrics
If darkness had a son, here I am
Temptation is his father
If darkness had a son, here I am
I bathe in holy water
Temptation, leave me be.
Temptation x4
The beast still shouts for what it’s yearning
He stokes the fire, desire burning
The never-ending quenchless craving
The unforgiven misbehaving.
[Chorus:]
If darkness had a son, here I am
Temptation is his father
If darkness had a son, here I am
I bathe in holy water
Temptation, leave me be.
Temptation x4
So paint your eyеs as black as sorrow
Hide yourself behind tomorrow
Thе nightmares search for infiltration
In domination, captivation.
[Repeat Chorus]
Return again to where it’s darkest
Dragging home this heathen harvest
And all the children subjugated
Manipulated, propagated/
[Repeat Chorus.]
If darkness had a son (Here I am)
If darkness had a son (Here I am)
If darkness had a son (Here I am)
I bathe in holy water
Temptation, leave me be.
