LYRICS:
Now I see his face, I see his smile
Such a lonely place, no golden mile
Eyes tell of morbid tales of his black heart
His deeds through ages past tell of his part
See his face, see his smile
Time to die
Angel from below, change my dreams
I want for glory's hour, for wealth's esteem
I wish to sell my soul, to be reborn
I wish for earthly riches, don't want no crown of thorns
See his face, see his smile
Time to die
I was born a fool, don't want to stay that way
Devil take my soul, with diamonds you repay
I don't care for heaven, so don't you look for me to cry
And I will burn in hell, from the day I die
See his face, see his smile
Time to die

Lyrics
Now I see his face, I see his smile
Such a lonely place, no golden mile
His eyes tell of morbid tales of his black heart
His deeds through ages past tell of his part
See his face
See his smile
Time to die
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh, angel from below, change my dreams
I want for glory's hour for wealth's esteem
I wish to sell my soul to be reborn
I wish for earthly riches, don't want no crown of thorns
See his face
See his smile
Time to die
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
I was born to fall, don't wanna stay that way
Devil take my soul, with diamonds you repay, yeah
And I don't care for Heaven, don't you look for me to cry
And I will burn in Hell from the day I die
See his face
See his smile
Time to die
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh

[@lookslikeharry2]

lol james. Glad he realized he isn't Robert Plant =]

[@elljen7625]

It's bc his voice was so high pitched back then.

Вещь!!!

[@m3tafunj]

Lol the tuning is all off cuz it's from a cheap cassette tape.

[@emoswaggggg]

m3tafunj and because they are in 432 Hz

[@metalblade8787]

like hell they are, i'm pretty sure the guys didn't even know what hz was back then

[@EternalxFrost]

​@@emoswagggggquarter step down in fact, so 423 Hz. Just like the 2 first Megadeth records. Close enough though.

[@EternalxFrost]

​@@metalblade8787Well quarter step was pretty common in the 80s

[@emoswaggggg]

@@EternalxFrost that's what I said, yes

[@troy3252]

That's James singing

[@troy3252]

Yup Dave never sang at all in Metallica,that's the James sounded back then he was a kid

[@arbazann]

Bruh y tf did u reply to urself

[@troy3252]

@@arbazann lmao I don’t know 🤪🤪 to be honest

[@sheacorduroy5565]

@@troy3252 Dave did sing Phantom Lord live once when he was originally in Metallica.

[@xxxCarnesxxx]

@paradisefugitives201 Disregard. It was Dave. This must have been that short time period where he decided to just do vocals. It is pretty cool to hear something this rare.

[@AxellRosas36]

xxxCarnesxxx Dude honestly I can't even tell since it's sounds so shitty lol but that's understandable since they didn't have good equipment back then plus this is from a cassette

[@st0n3dglock0ma8]

its dave its before james decided to play guitar then tey made it a two piece guitar.

[@theskullkid72]

WOW!!

[@Workin2anEarlyGrave]

the bass is so loud. it must be coz it's roooonn's garaaaage! don't mess up the place or ron will kick you out!
if i was there when dave electrocuted ron by spilling beer on his bass,i would die of laughing.

[@VicSellsPeace]

Kemal Gürer Koloğlu That never happened but okayy

[@flaatheaad7544]

Sounds like Dave playing

[@roaming740]

it is

[@NotResponsibleHondaOwner]

3:47 Me after it releases on ajfa and attempt to play it

[@xxxCarnesxxx]

@paradisefugitives201 I think it was both of them playing. That freestyle part sounded more like James's solos do compared to Dave's. Notice Dave's solos usually had that squeakiness to it.

[@GeorgyPorgyPuddingPie]

Compare this with 1988 version
Anyone could say that isnt James

[@dudleypunch101]

damn dave is sloppy as hell

[@st0n3dglock0ma8]

dave is so fucking raw kirk cant hang on these demos he had to change is solos cause anyone can widdly bop on a penitonic lol

[@ReanimatorsMutilations]
