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

ya this song is ok but its not nearly as good as there old stuff. black album is not one of their best cds. the best one is of course Ride the Lighting. but enter sandman is good dont get me wrong.

Yeah Enter Sandman is killer... my old band used to play it all the time... Of course it's really easy to lose your voice for days if you try to pull of the whiskey battered sound of hetfield which I gladly put up with... haha... It's a classic and their old stuff was like whoa... I just wish I knew what happened to them... Their new stuff makes you want to give James a fifth of whiskey and prod him with a cow prod until he tunes his guitar right and cranks out some of that nice music like sanitarium or master of puppets maybe even like holier than thou... I mean COME ON METALLICA!

I see lots of "this song got me into rock" I have to say this is true but there is one thing I am really sick of hearing... " I really like that one song... you know that sandman song. yea its good... who is it by? "

damn pop and rap kids know nothing

they made good music until recently
saint anger... come now, there is 2 good songs on that entire CD
