Prompt / Lyrics
(Slow, echoing, clean guitar intro — reversed chords from “Enter Sandman”) [Verse 1] Say your prayers one last time Light goes out, cross that line Tales we told, the dreams we fed Now they fade… into the dead (Heavy drop — slow, doomy riff crashes in) [Verse 2] Hush now, little soul No more monsters in the cold The night has bled, the hour’s passed The Sandman’s home… at last ⸻ [Chorus] Exit light, fade to gray Exit Sandman, slip away No more screams, no lullabies Just blackened skies and last goodbyes ⸻ [Bridge – spoken growl, Hetfield-style] Tick-tock, the cradle breaks Nothing left for fear to take Dust to dust, ride the flame Exit Sandman. End the name. (Solo: Kirk goes full funeral pyre mode — melodic, emotional, screeching bends and wails like a banshee. Then silence…) ⸻ [Final Chorus – stripped down, clean guitar, soft vocal delivery] Exit light… fade to gray… Exit Sandman… slip away… All is done… the tale is told… Leave the stage, let silence hold… (Guitars trail off with reversed echoes of the original Enter Sandman riff, like a ghost of the past fading into static) ⸻ [Outro – whispered voice, fading out] “Off to never-never land…” “…was.”
