I loved this song from the first time I heard it. It’s the fastest and heaviest song off the 72 Seasons album. The rest of the record is more groove, but I still dig it.
It’s short, nasty, and to the point. I mean, is there a song that better describes going to a live concert?
Just straight ahead Metallica! It’s my favorite song off the latest album, but a few others I’m really digging too.
Anticipation in domination
A sea of hearts beat as one, unified Magnification, all generations Approaching thunder awaiting the lightFull speed or nothin’, full speed or nothin’
Lux æterna
Lux æterna, yeahExhilaration, frenzied sensation
Kindred alliance connected inside Commiseration, sonic salvation Cast out the demons that strangle your lifeFull speed or nothin’, full speed or nothin’
Lux æterna
Lux æterna, yeahLux æterna
Emancipation kill isolation
Never alone for the feelings alike Amplification lightning the nation Never alive more than right here tonightFull speed or nothin’, full speed or nothin’
Lux æterna
Lux æterna, yeahLight it!
