Now, finally, the spoken part comes in. Play Rhy. Fig. 2 twice during this
part.
Spoken part:
When a man lies, he murders some part of the world.
These are the pale deaths which men miscall their lives.
All this I cannot bear to witness any longer.
Cannot the kingdom of salvation take me home?

| Very deep TheExile. This is the only song that has ever made me cry and its an instrumental, I guess that just shows how much Metallica cared about Cliff and how talented of musicians they really are. Fuck all non-Metallica fans, this song proves their genius. | |

| Words cannot express the depth of this instrumental. So much raw emotion was put into this, and the song just shines. If there was an award for best intrumental of all time, this would definately be one of the top contenders. Definately a work of musical genious! | |

| Can't verify completely Vel.... but it was a poem that was written by Cliff... the only Metallica song ever (aside from covers) where the words weren't all written by James | |

| Cliffsrottingcorprse, noone cares about your lyrics. This isn't the place for being a show-off egotist. The song is meant to be deep and emtional, there is nothing wrong someone crying to it. Just becuase one cries does not one a "nancy-boy". | |
