Enter Sandman (Remastered 2021)
Metallica · Metallica (Remastered 2021)
Don't forget, my son,
To include everyone
Tuck you in, warm within
Keep you free from sin
Till the sandman he comes
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight
Exit: light
Enter: night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land
Something's wrong, shut the light
Heavy thoughts tonight
And they aren't of Snow White
Dreams of war, dreams of liars
Dreams of dragon's fire
And of things that will bite
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight
Exit: light
Enter: night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land
Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I die before I wake
Pray the Lord my soul to take
Hush little baby, don't say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
It's just the beasts under your bed
In your closet, in your head
Exit: light
Enter: night
Grain of sand
Exit: light
Enter: night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land
About Enter Sandman
"Enter Sandman" presents Metallica through a specific song idea rather than a full career summary. The safest way to approach the recording is to focus on what the title and credited performance suggest: a compact musical statement shaped by voice, groove, arrangement, and tone. If the listed version includes extra mix or soundtrack wording, the core song still depends on how its hook and mood carry across that context. For listeners exploring Metallica, "Enter Sandman" can be understood as a standalone track that adds another color to the artist's recorded work without needing exaggerated claims. The version wording should be preserved because mixes, edits, remasters, and live takes can change pacing, texture, or emphasis while keeping the same underlying song identity.
