The Thing That Should Not Be (Live - Seattle ’89) lyrics

[Intro: Jason Newsted]
All right, how's everybody doing? All right, mate?
Shh-, I'm having a f*cking good time tonight, I tell you that right now
It's f*ckin' happening, man, very happy
Ah, we're going to go back to the “Master of Puppets” album
And do something we just started doing a little bit ago, a few days ago
So, just kind of hang out with us, will you?
The f*cking heaviest number known to mankind
Big fat mother f*cker called "The Thing That Should Not Be"

[Verse 1]
Messenger of fear in sight
Dark deception kills the light
Hybrid children watch the sea
Pray for Father, roaming free

[Chorus]
Fearless wretch, insanity
He watches, lurking bеneath the sea
Grеat Old One, forbidden site
He searches, hunter of the shadows is rising
Immortal
In madness you dwell

[Verse 2]
Crawling chaos, underground
Cult has summoned twisted sound
Out from ruins once possessed
Fallen city, living death
[Chorus]
Fearless wretch, insanity
He watches, lurking beneath the sea
Timeless sleep has been upset
He awakens, hunter of the shadows is rising
Immortal
In madness you dwell

Yeah!
[Guitar Solo]

In madness you dwell
[Grunts]

[Verse 3]
Not dead, which eternal lie
Stranger eons death may die
Drain you of your sanity
Face the thing that should not be

[Chorus]
Fearless wretch, insanity
He watches, lurking beneath the sea
Great Old One, forbidden site
He awakens, hunter of the shadows is rising
Immortal
In madness we dwell
Yea-heh!
[Outro]
Face the thing that should not be

Oh, is that too f*cking heavy or what?
Hey, man, I thought we had some nutty friends here tonight
What the f*ck happened?
Let's wake up, man! Come on!
All right
