  • Obey, obey
    Come won't you stay
    Sincere, sincere
    All ends in tears
    Endure, endure
    Thoughts most in cure
    Concede, concede
    But both shall we bleed

    Oh, halo on fire
    The midnight knows it well
    Fast, is desire
    Creates another hell
    I fear to turn on the light
    For the darkness won't go away
    Fast, is desire
    Turn out the light
    Halo on fire

    Allure, allure
    Sweetness obscure
    Abide, abide
    Secrets inside
    Deprive, deprive
    To feel so alive
    Obey, obey
    Just don't turn away

    Oh, halo on fire
    The midnight knows it well
    Fast, is desire
    Creates another hell
    I fear to turn on the light
    For the darkness won't go away
    Fast, is desire
    Turn out the light
    Halo on fire

    Prayers cannot get through
    Return to sender
    Unto which of you
    Shall I surrender

    Twisting in disguise
    Dark resurrection
    Lighting up the skies
    Wicked perfection

    Too dark too sleep
    Can't slip away
    Open or close
    My eyes betray
    Beyond the black
    Come won't you stay

    Hello darkness, say goodbye
    Hello darkness, say goodbye
    Hello darkness, say goodbye Writer/s: James Alan Hetfield, Lars Ulrich

  • Rodriel from BrazilThis song should’ve been officially instrumental!
  • Jack G from New JerseyI think its their best song EVER. Shows what a great band they are, still writing kicker songs after all these years, love the guitar at the end.
  • Lydia Mcgowan from Monkstown Co. Dublin IrelandIt was a shame that poor woman lost against that bulky guy.
