LYRICS
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
Written by James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich & Kirk Hammett

🤘🤘🤘
Ayo soup what up
Ayo soup what up!!!!
FahknA Soup
souppp
O tempo passa e a voz do James fica cada vez melhor, envelhecendo como vinho.
@Michael Waslley Official depois de hell in back e Spit, pra mim esse é um dos melhores solos dele.. nos fones da pra ouvir melhor ficou massa
Só o kirk que desaprendeu a solar de vez
🤟🤟
Muy buen tema y video.
Evolución del sonido, metal moderno, contemporáneo.
Metallica por siempre.
🤘🤘
This song gives me The Thorn Within and Eye of the Beholder vibes, but the lyrics immediately took me back to the Presidio stuff, and that was a nice surprise. I have always wondered what a “finished version” of “Temptation” could develop into, and I think that’s what we may have here. The intro admittedly was a tad long, and rather uneventful, but once the song got going, I enjoyed it!
Started listening to Metallica as a teen in the 80s & here I am STILL listening after many concerts & several speeding tickets.
Thanks brothers!
🤘😊🤘
Gracias Metallica por seguir creando musica ❤
Hacer creer a sus fanáticos que hacen música tiene su mérito. No seas perezoso… los que amamos el metal no consideramos bandas mejores que otras. Lo que saquen estos millonarios te va a gustar porque antepones tus deseos y errado fanatismo.
Cant wait to hear the entire album when it is released. Just killing it.
Sin duda la mejor canción del disco hasta ahora
Атмосферно!Хлопці ви ще даєте жару🔥🇺🇦

Sin dudarlo es muchísimo mejor que sus dos anteriores canciones, esta genial, la vos de James es alucinante me recuerda al Black álbum y esta vez el solo de Kirk esta buenísimo. Larga vida a METALLICA.
@Edwin M. Glez Obvio no es igual de bueno a los solos de que aparecen en los 5 albumes emblemáticos, a lo que me refería era que no ha habido un solo así en años y que esta mejor que los de las 2 anteriores.
@Edwin M. Glez si JAJAJA
El solo es malisimo haha
