Lyrics:

[Jason Newsted] We're gonna play something off of 'Master of Puppets' now... That we just started doing a little bit ago And it's about the heaviest number known to mankind Big old fat motherfucker called 'The Thing That Should Not Be' [Intro] [Verse 1] [James Hetfield] Messenger of fear in sight Dark deception kills the light Hybrid children watch the sea Pray for Father, roaming free [Chorus] Fearless wretch, insanity He watches, lurking beneath the sea Great Old One, forbidden site He s5arches, hunter of the shadows is rising Immortal In madn5ss you dwell [Verse 2] Crawling chaos, underground Cult has summoned twisted sound Out from ruins once possessed Fallen city, living death
[Chorus] Fearless wretch, insanity He watches, lurking beneath the sea Timeless sleep has been upset He awakens, hunter of the shadows is rising Immortal In madness you dwell Yeah! [Guitar Solo] [Refrain] In madness you dwell [Verse 3] Not dead, which eternal lie Stranger eons death may die Drain you of your sanity Face the thing that should not be [Chorus] Fearless wretch, insanity He watches, lurking beneath the sea Great Old One, forbidden site He searches, hunter of the shadows is rising Immortal In madness we dwell Yeah!
[Outro] Face the thing that should not be Oh, is that too fucking heavy or what? Hey man, I thought we had some nutty friends here tonight What the fuck happened? Let's wake up man! Come on! All right
