Lyrics to Metallica’s “If Darkness Had a Son”
- Temptation
Temptation
Temptation
Temptation - The beast still shouts for what it’s yearning
He stokes the fire, desire burning
The never-ending quenchless craving
The unforgiving misbehaving - 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
Temptation
Temptation
Temptation - So paint your eyes as black as sorrow
Hide yourself behind tomorrow
The nightmares search for infiltration
In domination, captivation - 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 - Return again to where it’s darkest
Dragging home this heathen harvest
And all the children subjugated
Manipulated, propagated - 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 - 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
