Metallica: King of Darkness (Fanmade Music Video)

Huywired's music video for “King of Darkness,” (a song in the style of Metallica's “72 Seasons”) from the project “Prisoner of Childhood.”

This not a real Metallica song! It’s made just for entertaining purposes and I am not looking to make any money off of this. I do NOT own the rights to the video. Stay metal \m/

LYRICS

Endless thread, constant yearning
Hostility in captivation
Lesson learned, pray to your needs
As he commands, accept conviction

Sadness and pain in his eyes
Bleeding to fall for his lies
Desire, the way
Do his bidding or just pay

He waits
He shouts
'Till he has burnt all doubts

Obey
He knows
King of darkness has returned

Walk his way, don't be afraid
Fall to your knees, there is no escape
This his throne, burn temptation
Don't hesitate, you know it's too late

Sadness and pain in his eyes
Bleeding to fall for his lies
Desire, the way
Do his bidding or just pay

He waits
He shouts
'Till he has burnt all doubts

Obey
He knows
King of darkness has returned

Oh, sadness and pain in his eyes
Bleeding to fall for his lies
Desire, the way
Do his bidding or just pay

He waits
He shouts
'Till he has burnt all doubts

Obey
He knows
King of darkness has returned

King of darkness
