Song lyrics
Like a siren in my head that always threatens to repeat,
Like a blind man that is strapped into the speeding driver's seat,
Like a face that learns to speak, when all it knew was how to fight,
Like a misery that keeps me from just going out astray,
Like an endless nightmare that i must awaken from each day.

Like conviction,
A premonition,
Not worthy of, so i deny,
I deny.

I blind my eyes and try to force it all into place,
I stitch them up, see not my fall from grace.
I blind my eyes, i hardly feel it passing me by,
I open just in time to say goodbye.

Almost like your life,
Almost like your endless fight,
Curse the day is long,
Realize you don't belong,
Disconnect somehow,
Never stop the bleeding now,
Almost like your fight,
And there it went,
Almost like your life.

[Solo]

Like a wound that keeps on bleeding to remind me not to think,
Like a raging river, drowning when i only need a drink,
Like a poison that i swallow, but i want the world to die.

Like a release from a prison that i didn't know i was in,
Like a fight to live the past i prayed to leave from way back then,
Like a general without a mission until the war will start again,
Start again.

I blind my eyes and try and force it all into place,
I stitch them up, see not my fall from grace.
I blind my eyes, i hardly feel it passing me by,
I open just in time to say goodbye.

Almost like your life,
Almost like your endless fight,
Cursed, the day is long,
Realize you don't belong,
Disconnect somehow,
Never stop the bleeding now,
Almost like your fight,
And there it went,
Almost like your life.

Like a touch from hell,
I feel how hot that it can get if you get caught,
Like a strike from heaven that turns that key,
That brings you straight down to your knees,
Like a touch from hell,
I feel how hot that it can get if i get caught,
Like a strike from heaven to reprieve,
That brings you straight down to your knees.

Almost like your life,
Almost like your endless fight,
Cursed, the day is long,
Realize you don't belong,
Disconnect somehow,
Never stop complaining now,
Almost like your fight,
And there it went,
Almost like your life.
That was just your life.

I'm surprised no one reviewed this song yet. I think it is a great way to open their new album, as it is pretty fast paced, and similar to their old albums.

This song is phenomonal. There's not much more to it than that. "I open just in time to say goodbye... almost like your life!" Gives me chills every time. It might not be what fans of old Metallica are looking for, but even the most cynical of fans would have to admit - this is a major step in the right direction.

Great opening track. Reminds me very much of Creeping Death. With the barking of lyrics and the dual guitars, this song gets me into a frenzy from the beginning of the album.

Great song but the heartbeat at the start is not needed
