Metallica - If Darkness Had A Son Lyrics

Metallica Lyrics

"If Darkness Had A Son"

Temptation
Temptation
Temptation
Temptation

The beast still shouts for what it's yearning
He stokes the fire, desire burning
The never-ending quenchless craving
The unforgiven misbehaving

If darkness had a son, here I am
Temptation is his father
If darkness had a son, here I am
I bathe in holy water
Temptation, leave me be

Temptation
Temptation
Temptation
Temptation

So paint your eyes as black as sorrow
Hide yourself behind tomorrow
The nightmares search for infiltration
In domination, captivation

If darkness had a son, here I am
Temptation is his father
If darkness had a son, here I am
I bathe in holy water
Temptation, leave me be

Return again to where it's darkest
Dragging home this heathen harvest
And all the children subjugated
Manipulated, propagated

If darkness had a son, here I am
Temptation is his father
If darkness had a son, here I am
I bathe in holy water

If darkness had a son (Here I am)
If darkness had a son (Here I am)
If darkness had a son (Here I am)
I bathe in holy water
Temptation, leave me be

Metallica began to tease "If Darkness Had A Son" on TikTok on the 25th of February, 2023, several days prior to its release. They first posted a clip of Lars Ulrich playing the song by himself and then used the "Duet" feature of the platform to add Robert Trujillo, James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett during three next days.

The song and its music video (directed by Tim Saccenti and filmed in Los Angeles on the 9th of January, 2023) were released on the 1st of March, 2023. That was the third single unveiled from the album "72 Seasons".
