Metallica: The House Jack Built

Open door, so I walk inside.
Close my eyes, find my place to hide.
And I shake as I take it in.
Let the show begin.

Open my eyes, just to have them close again.
Well on my way, ???
It swallows me, as it takes me in its hold.
I twist away, as I give this world a nod.

Open door, so I walk inside.
Close my eyes, find my place to hide.
And I shake as I take it in.
Let the show begin.

Open my eyes, just to have them close once again.
Don't want control., as it takes me down and down and down again.
Is that the moon, or just a light that lights this dead-end street?
Is that you there, or just another demon that I meet.

The higher you are, the harder you fall.
The longer the walk, the farther you crawl.
My body my temple, this temple it tilts.
Step into the house that Jack built.
The higher you are, the harder you fall.
The longer the walk, the farther you crawl.
My body my temple, this temple it tilts.
Yes this is the house that Jack built.

Open door, as I walk inside.
Swallow me so the pain subsides.
And I shake as I take this in.
Let the show begin.
(Let the show begin.)

The higher you are, the harder you fall.
The longer the walk, the farther you crawl.
My body my temple, this temple it tilts.
Yes this is the house that Jack built.
The higher you are, the harder you fall.
The longer the walk, the farther you crawl.
My body my temple, this temple it tilts.
Yes I am, I am, I am...
Open my eyes...
It swallows me...
Is that you there?
I twist away, away, away, away...
