This is 1 of my favorite songs off my favorite album. There are a few parts that I'm not 100% sure about (which I will show you the riffs that I'm not sure on) but over all I think this is a killer tab of a killer song.

LYRICS Thunder and lightning the gods take revenge Senseless destruction Victims of fury are cowardly now Running for safety Stabbing the harlot to pay for her sins Leaving the virgin Suicide running as if it were free Ripping and tearing On through the mist and the madness We are trying to get the message to you Metal Militia Metal Militia Metal Militia Chained and shadowed to be left behind nine and one thousand Metal militia for your sacrifice iron clad soldiers Join or be conquered the law of the land What will befall you The metallization of your inner soul twisting and turning On through the mist and the madness We are trying to get the message to you Metal Militia Metal Militia Metal Militia We are as one as we all are the same fighting for one cause Leather and metal are our uniforms protecting what we are Joining together to take on the world with our heavy metal Spreading the message to everyone here Come let yourself go On through the mist and the madness We are trying to get the message to you Metal Militia Metal Militia Metal Militia Easy song. Have fun with it. METAL UP YOUR ASS. Brought to you by the BassMasta http://www.bassmasta.net/m/metallica/143569.html
