Walkthrough[]

For Expert:

The first half of the song is fairly mellow as far as Metallica goes, and not terribly difficult. There are a few quick chord changes during the chorus, but the real challenge starts at the solo. The strumming at the start of the solo is fast, and it is very difficult to avoid overstrumming once it starts changing notes. The rest of the solo isn't terribly difficult, with only one tricky part near the middle. After the solo the song is pretty much done, so if you can FC past the solo then you're golden.

Lyrics[]

[FREEFORM]
Welcome to where time stands still
No one leaves and no one will
Moon is full, never seems to change
Just labeled mentally deranged
Dream the same thing every night
I see our freedom in my sight
No locked doors, no windows barred
No things to make my brain seem scarred
Sleep my friend and you will see
The dream is my reality
They keep me locked up in this cage
Can't they see it's why my brain says Rage
Sanitarium,
Leave me be!
Sanitarium,
Just leave me alone
Build my fear of what's out there
Cannot breathe the open air
Whisper things into my brain
Assuring me that I'm insane
They think our heads are in their hands
But violent use brings violent plans
Keep him tied, it makes him well
He's getting better, can't you tell?
No more can they keep us in
Listen, damn it, we will win
They see it right, they see it well
But they think this saves us from our hell
Sanitarium,
Leave me be!
Sanitarium,
Just leave me alone
Sanitarium,
Just leave me alone!
[HYPE]
Fear of living on
Natives getting restless now
Mutiny in the air
Got some death to do
Mirror stares back hard
Kill, it's such a friendly word
Seems the only way
For reaching out again
