Hero of the Day Lyrics - Metallica

1 Mama, they try and break me

2 The window burns to light the way back home

3 A light that warms, no matter where they've gone

4 They're off to find the hero of the day

5 But what if they should fall by someone's wicked way

6 Still the window burns

7 Time so slowly turns

8 Someone there is sighing

9 Keepers of the flames

10 Do you feel your name?

11 Can't you hear your babies crying?

12 Mama, they try and break me

13 Still, they try and break me

14 Excuse me while I tend to how I feel

15 These things return to me that still seem real

16 Now deservingly this easy chair

17 But the rocking's stopped by wheels of despair

18 Don't want your hate

19 But the fist I've made

20 For years can't hold or feel

21 No, I'm not all me

22 So please excuse me

23 While I tend to how I feel

24 But now the dreams and waking screams

25 That ever last the night

26 So build a wall, behind it crawl

27 And hide until it's light

28 So can you hear your babies crying now?

29 Still the window burns

30 Time so slowly turns

31 And someone there is sighing

32 Keepers of the flames

33 Can't you hear your names?

34 Can't you hear your babies crying?

35 But now the dreams and waking screams

36 That ever last the night

37 So build a wall, behind it crawl

38 And hide until it's light

39 So can't you hear your babies crying now?

40 Mama, they try and break me

41 Mama, they try and break me

42 Mama, they try and break me

43 Mama, they try

44 Mama, they try

45 Mama, they try and break me

46 Mama, they try and break me

47 Mama, they try and break me

48 Mama, they try

49 Mama, they try
