Song lyrics
Say your prayers, little one
Don't forget, my son,
To include everyone

Tuck you in, warm within
Keep you free from sin
Till the sandman he comes

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Exit: light
Enter: night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land

Something's wrong, shut the light
Heavy thoughts tonight
And they aren't of Snow White

Dreams of war, dreams of liars
Dreams of dragon's fire
And of things that will bite

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Exit: light
Enter: night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land

Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I die before I wake
Pray the Lord my soul to take

Hush little baby, don't say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
It's just the beasts under your bed
In your closet, in your head

Exit: light
Enter: night
Grain of sand

Exit: light
Enter: night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land

Best Metallica song in the world. Lars' extreme drummin', Kirk's back up on guitar, Jason's heavy bassin' and James' kick ass solo and lyrics.

this song is alright, but its definetly overrated.. metallica has done much better work then this, and dont get me wrong this song is pretty good, just not as good as you all make it seem, the new metallica (eg black cd and st. anger cd) dont relect the better side of metallica

A great song, although not Metallica's best lyrical work. Example:

"...And they're not of Snow White!"

... The best comparison they could think up was that the dreams weren't of Snow White? Come on... that line would ruin the song if not for the kick-ass guitar. Plus, on this album you can actually hear Jason Newsted (unlike on And Justice), which is cool because he's a pretty good bassist.

Lars' extreme drummin', Kirk's back up on guitar, Jason's heavy bassin' and James' kick ass solo and lyrics.

Actually, Kirk is Metallica's lead guitarist. James sings and plays backing guitar.

Hahaha I remember my old music teacher saying to me Metallica worships the devil all the way, After presenting he presented it to us as an example for bands with satanic music and used Metallica and Enter Sandman as the number one most evil. Well wanna know something? Fuck him and whoever else says Metallica and other bands are satanic. This song rules in every fuckin way! Even my bitchy english teacher now thinks their satanic and told me I should stop listening to them and in James Hetfield's legendary words in the Cunning Stunts concert. I dont give a shit! This song is reason number 2 why I got into Metallica. The solo is awesome as usual. Sad that metallica isnt as good as they were before. And for those who thinks Jason Newsted sucks... He doesnt suck! He was in this band when the Black album and this song came out so you guys better shut the fuck up about Jason being the worst bassist of Metallica!
