Lyrics for Song: Hero Of The Day
Lyrics for Album: S&M [1999]
Mama, they try and break me
The window burns to light the way back home,
a light that warms, no matter where they've gone,
they're off to find the hero of the day,
but what if they should fall by someone's wicked ways,
Still the window burns,
time so slowly turns,
someone there is sighing,
keepers of the flame,
do you feel your name,
can't you hear your babies crying?
Mama they try and break me
still they try and break me,
Scuse me while i tend to how i feel,
these things return to me that still seem real,
now, deservingly, this easy chair,
but the rocking stops by wheels of dispair,
Don't want your aid,
but the fist i make
for years can't hold or feel,
no i'm not all me,
so, please excuse while i tend to how i feel,
So, now the dreams and waking screams
that everlast the night,
so, build a wall behind it crawl,
and hide until it's light,
so, can you hear your babies crying now?
Still the window burns,
time so slowly turns,
and someone there is sighing,
keepers of the flame,
can't you hear your names,
can't you hear your babies crying?
But, now the dreams and waking screams
that everlast the night,
So, build a wall, behind it crawl
and hide until it's light,
so, can't you hear your babies crying now?
Mama, they try and break me,
Mama, they try and break me,
Mama, they try and break me,
Mama, they try, Mama, they try,
Mama, they try and break me,
Mama, they try and break me,
Mama, they try and break me,
Mama, they try, Mama, they try

Hero Of The Day
Hero Of The Day stands as a monumental collaboration between Metallica and the San Francisco Symphony, recorded live at the War Memorial Opera House in 1999. Originally composed by James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich for the band's 1991 self-titled album, the track was reimagined with orchestral grandeur for the S&M project. The arrangement expands the song's sonic landscape, weaving symphonic textures through the heavy metal foundation to create a sweeping, cinematic experience. This recording captures the band at a peak of live performance energy, blending rock intensity with classical precision. The work remains a defining moment in Metallica's discography, illustrating their willingness to experiment with orchestral elements while maintaining their core identity. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of their songwriting and the unique synergy achieved when rock meets symphony. |
