"For Whom The Bell Tolls" lyrics
"For Whom The Bell Tolls"
Make his fight on the hill in the early day
Constant chill deep inside
Shouting gun, on they run through the endless grey
On they fight, for they're right, yes, but who's to say?
For a hill, men would kill, why? They do not know
Stiffened wounds test their pride
Men of five, still alive through the raging glow
Gone insane from the pain that they surely know
For whom the bell tolls
Time marches on
For whom the bell tolls
Take a look to the sky just before you die
It's the last time you will
Blackened roar, massive roar, fills the crumbling sky
Shattered goal fills his soul with a ruthless cry
Stranger now, are his eyes, to this mystery
He hears the silence so loud
Crack of dawn, all is gone except the will to be
Now they see what will be, blinded eyes to see
For whom the bell tolls
Time marches on
For whom the bell tolls
Thanks to Weeper, Grenas for correcting these lyrics.
The lyrics of this song are inspired by the Ernest Hemingway's 1940 novel with the same title.
This is Metallica's fifth most-popular song.
This song has a bell-like chiming at the beginning made by drummer Lars Ulrich pounding on an anvil.
The introduction of this song is often mistaken for being played on an electric guitar whilst Cliff Burton actually played bass guitar with distortion. That introduction had been written by Burton before he joined Metallica.
"For Whom the Bell Tolls" was recorded with the San Francisco Symphony for their album "S&M" (1999).
The remix of this song is featured on the soundtrack to the film "Spawn" (1997) under the name "For Whom the Bell Tolls (The Irony of it All)" by DJ Spooky. Metallica then released it on "The Memory Remains" single with the title "For Whom the Bell Tolls (Haven't Heard It Yet Mix)".
