Metallica - Phantom Lord (Eb tuning)

phantom lord in eb tuning (half step down)
Lyrics:
Sound is ripping through your ears
The deafening sound of metal nears
Your body's waiting for his whips
The taste of leather on your lips
Hear the cry of war
Louder than before
With his sword in hand
To control the land
Crushing metal strikes
On this frightening night
Fall onto your knees
For the Phantom Lord
Victims falling under chains
You hear them crying dying pains
Fist of terror's breaking through
Now there's nothing you can do
Hear the cry of war
Louder than before
With his sword in hand
To control the land
Crushing metal strikes
On this frightening night
Fall onto your knees
For the Phantom Lord
The leather armies have prevailed
The Phantom Lord has never failed
Smoke is lifting from the ground
The rising volume metal sound
Hear the cry of war
Louder than before
With his sword in hand
To control the land
Crushing metal strikes
On this frightening night
Fall onto your knees
For the Phantom Lord
Fall to your knees
And bow to the Phantom Lord

to all the Kill 'Em All lovers outta here - I highly recommend the album "Metal and Hell" by Polish thrashers from Kat - an 80's band heavily influenced by early Metallica and Venom!
"Metal and Hell", "Devil's Child" and "Oracle" are among the best songs off the record.
Also check out the live album "38 Minutes of life", sang in Polish and recorded when Kat was the support before Metallica's show in Poland in 1987!

Dave wrote it. They shouldn't have kicked him out. He and Cliff are the best songwriters that Metallica ever had.

[@Uzurr69]

That melody progression on the clean riff sounds 100% like something Dave would write.

[@mariovomhof2775]

@@Uzurr69 great observation. He recycled the riff in "this was my life"...

Imagine Dave, Kirk, Cliff (or jason.) James and Lars all together as a 5 member band.

[@vergil2067]

Dave isn’t even close to being the best songwriter for Metallica.

[@riel8808]

[@heavymetal9749]

At the start it sounds like Slayer

[@ArielKahane]

Seeing them play with Dave put a smile on my face

[@Musiclover4878]

[@wolfis07x4]

This song's riff sounds like a Motorhead riff without Lemmy's overly distorted bass
