Song lyrics

Send "The Memory Remains" ringtones to your cell

Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
But the memory remains

Heavy rings on fingers wave
Another star denies the grave
See the nowhere crowd, cry the nowhere tears of honor

Like twisted vines that grow
Hide and swallow mansions whole
In the light of an already faded prima donna

Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane...
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane...
But the memory remains

Heavy rings hold cigarettes
Up to lips that time forgets
While the Hollywood sun sets behind your back

And can't the band play on?
Just listen, they play my song
Ash to ash
Dust to dust
Fade to black

Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane...
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane...
Dance little tin goddess

(na-na-na-na....)

Drift away
Fade away
Little tin goddess

Ash to ash
Dust to dust
Fade to black

Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane...
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane...
But the memory remains

Ash to ash
Dust to dust
Fade to black...
But the memory remains

Yeah
Faded prima donna yeah, yeah

(solo)
Dance little tin goddess, dance

(na-na-na-na...)

240 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal This song is one of my Metallica favourites. Great lyrics, even greater vocals. A source of inspiration when I'm writing a text. I especially love the song in the very beginning, kind of a sudden start, then it gets real easy and calm and stuff... NICE.

26 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I thought that metallica's lyrics were about something important not the plastic and fake hollywood that's why I stick with the 80's metallica and I cant believe that they play it with the symphony

3 posts	HAHAHA! foolish person Metallicas frontman(one James Hetfield) is quite possibly one of the greatest men alive considering his ability to bang out a meaty riff and meaty, melodic or hard ass vocals. you say its bangin your fingers against a guitar. i would put money on the fact that if you learned guitar for the next 15 years solidly, you still wouldnt be a speck on what kirk hammett can do. and just to rpove that, Metallica winning 6 grammies for the best guitar solo best rock song and more. and being mentioned at least 3 times in every 100 best guitar riffs/solos i have read. so METAL UP YER ASS!!!!!!!!! out Ed
