"And now I know it's hard when you don't know what to think"

"You say you've got the cure"

"Hey there Salinger, what did you do?"

"A moment of silence please for those that never get the chance"

"Why do you cry when you know how the story ends?"

"Please excuse my enemies"

"This is the start, the beginning The prologue to the yarn that you're spinning A million synonyms will never get close to describe the feeling"

"It doesn't really matter if you lead or follow"

"So you're tired of living Feel like you might give in Well don't. It's not your time"

"So tell me: how long do you think you can go before you lose it all? Before they call you bluff and watch you fall? I don't know, but I'd like to think I had control At some point, but I let it go and lost my soul"

"Last two soldiers on the battlefield survivors of the war they aim at one another while their mothers beg the lord "if you're listening, I'm missing him so somehow bring him home" how did it come to this? so the soldiers lift their rifles and they're aiming at the head they think of their first love before they take a final breath and somewhere in the distance they hear something someone said how did it come to this?"

Playing songs like “Fight Fire with Fire” in '84, “Battery” in '86, and “Blackened” in '88, there's no denying his drumming talent. Playing what's needed for the song, not himself, and not overplaying. His song arrangement and his business acumen are also what sets him apart from many of his peers. I don't think there are as many drummers out there that have influenced as many people to start playing drums as Lars has — and I'm absolutely one of them!"

"Don't download this song Even Lars Ulrich knows it's wrong. (you can just ask him!)"
