Welcome to where time stands still
no one leaves and no one will
Moon is full, never seems to change
just labeled mentally deranged

Dream the same thing every night
I see our freedom in my sight
No locked doors, No windows barred
No things to make my brain seem scarred

Sleep my friend and you will see
that dream is my reality
They keep me locked up in this cage
can't they see that's why my brain says Rage, Rage, Rage, Rage, Rage!!

Sanitarium, leave me be
Sanitarium, leave me alone

Build my fear of what's out there
and cannot breathe the open air
Whisper things into my brain
assuring me that I'm insane

They think our heads are in their hands
but violent use brings violent plans
Keep him tied, it makes him well
he's getting better, can't you tell?

No more can they keep us in
Listen, damn it, we will win
They see it right, they see it well
but they think this saves us from our Hell, Hell, Hell, Hell, Hell!!

Sanitarium, leave me be
Sanitarium, leave me alone

Fred Talking:

Are we all happy to here tonight or what?
Well all I know is at a Metallica concert nobody's sitting down.
So everybody in those f**kin seats, stand the f**k up, Get up!!
Get the f**k up!! That's what I'm talking about.
And I want all you people right here on the floor,
who are fortunate enough to be here tonight, to move in pretty close,
come on in, you back there come on in, alright
I wan't you to repeat after me ok.

Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone and I'm about to break the f**k out come on
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone and I'm about to break the f**k out come on!!

Fear of living on
natives getting restless now
Mutiny in the air
got some death to do
Mirror stares back hard
Kill, it's such a friendly word
seems the only way
to reaching out again.

Fear of living on
natives getting restless now
Mutiny in the air
got some death to do
Mirror stares back hard
Kill, is such a friendly word
seems the only way
to bring it back again.

Sanitarium, leave me be
Sanitarium, leave me alone!!
