The Day That Never Comes lyrics by Metallica

This song is about a soldier who has been shot and is awaiting medical support but it seems like days before help will come.. Thus the title.

This song is one of my favorites off the new album, I think the song is talking about how time is standing still, I love Metallica.

Born to push you around
Better just stay down

You pull away
He hits the flesh
You hit the ground

Mouth so full of lies
Tend to black your eyes
Just keep them closed
Keep praying
Just keep waiting

Waiting for the one
The day that never comes
When you stand up
And feel the warmth
But the son shine never comes, no

No, the son shine never comes

Push you cross that line
Just stay down this time
Hide in yourself
Crawl in yourself
You'll have your time

God I'll make them pay
Take it back one day
I'll end this day
I'll splatter color on this gray

Waiting for the one
The day that never comes
When you stand up
And feel the warmth
But the son shine never comes
No the son shine never comes

Love is a four letter word
And never spoken here

Love is a four letter word
Here in the prison

I suffer this no longer
I'll put an end to this I swear
This I swear

The son will shine
This I swear
This I swear
This I swear

I know what you might say. It's not "son" it's "sun". But, it's "son". In the liner notes of the CD, it's there. Hope this helps. These lyrics are the correct lyrics and they came from the inside CD cover.

Cheers!

I concur. These lyrics are wrong. So are the lyrics to The Unforgiven III. I've sent the corrected lyrics from the CD insert and have received the same response. If you want the correct ones, don't get 'em from here. Buy the CD and read 'em yourself.

Cheers!

This song is just amazing, great to relax too, I love it so much, I'm glad Metallica has returned, 5 years we've suffered without them, now our time of sorrow is over, they're back!!!
