The House Jack Built
(Hetfield, Ulrich, Hammett)

Open door, so I walk inside
Close my eyes, find my place to hide
And I shake as I take it in
Let the show begin

Open my eyes
Just to have them close again
Well on my way
But on my way to where I've been
It swallows me
As it takes me in its fog
I twist away
As I give this world the nod

Open door, so I walk inside
Close my eyes, find my place to hide
And I shake as I take it in
Let the show begin

Open my eyes
Just to have them close once again
Don't want control
As it takes me down and down and down again
Is that the moon
Or just a light that lights this dead end street?
Is that you there
Or just another demon that I meet?

        The higher you are
        The farther you fall
        The longer the walk
        The farther you crawl
        My body, my temple
        This temple, it tilts
        Step into the house that Jack built

        The higher you are
        The farther you fall
        The longer the walk
        The farther you crawl
        My body, my temple
        This temple it tilts
        Yes, this is the house that Jack built

Open door, yes, I walk inside
Swallow me so the pain subsides
And I shake as I take the sin
Let the show begin
(Let the show begin)
(Let the show begin)

        The higher you are
        The farther you fall
        The longer the walk
        The farther you crawl
        My body, my temple
        This temple, it tilts
        Yes this is the house that Jack built

        The higher you are
        The farther you fall
        Longer the walk
        The farther you crawl
        My body, my temple
        This temple, it tilts
        Yes, I am, I am, I am...

Open my eyes
It swallows me
Is that you there?
I twist away
Away, away, away
