Pre-Death Magnetic Lyrics

Priro to Death Magnetic, two "new" songs were played. Those songs did not make it - in those forms - onto the final album (although some riffs survived in various forms on various songs). Here are the lyrics from those songs.

PLEASE: If you copy these for your site, please credit us! It took a long time to decipher them.

The New Song (Berlin, Germany 06/06/06)
The New Song (Donington, UK 06/10/06)
The Other New Song (Seoul, South Korea 08/15/06)

Legend for live songs

Anything underlined means we aren't sure about those words.
A quesion mark (?) means a single word we can't decipher.

The New Song

(Deciphered by IPOM and Josh Ashman from the FLAC of the 06/06/06 Berlin show)

The man in black comes around
Blacks the sound, blacks the sound
Moving ?, never ever coming back
They will send into the ground

Open up your gate
Sprit dialate
When you gonna send
Listen to what he's sayin'
Open up your gates
Spirit dialate
Going to my friends
Death is not the end
Not the end
It's a beginning
It's a ...

Done my time in this hell
Hear the toll of the bell
Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today
To say goodbye to our old selves

Open up your gate
Spirits dialate
We can understand
Weep into his hand
Open up your gate
Spirits dialate
Whisper to my friend
Death is not the end
Not the end
Not the end
It's the beginning

I've been a rambler
The light seys me free
I've been a gambler
The light sets me free
Sets me free!
Oh yeah!

I've been a rambler
The light sets me free
I've been a gambler
The light sets me free
Sets me free!
Aha!

The man in black comes around
Blacks the light, blacks the sound
Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today
To say goodbye to our old selves

Open up your gate
Spirits dialate
Watching the falling sand
Sliping into his hand
Open up your gate
Spirits dialate
Whisper to my friend
Death is not the end
Not the end
Not the end
It's the beginning

The New Song

(Deciphered by the IPOM staff and Dan Nykolayko from the FLAC of the 06/10/06 Donington show)

The man in black comes around
Black's the light, black's the sound
Far enough to take from here
To rise above the myth of fear
Take you out ? ? ?

Open up your gate
Spirit dialate
Watch the falling sand
Sifting through his hand
Open up your gate
Spirit dialate
Whisper to your friend
Death is not the end
Not the end
Not the end
It's the beginning
It's a ...

Drop the hourglass of time
Spilling the sand you will not find
Dearly beloved we gather today
To say goodbye and find our way
Bid farewell with closing eyes

Open up your gate
Spirit dialate
Watch the falling sand
Slipping through his hand
Open up your gate
Spirit dialate
Whisper to your friend
Death is not the end
Not the end
Not the end
It's the beginning

I've been a rambler
The light sets me free
I've been a rambler
The light sets me free
Sets me free!
The light sets me free!

I've been a rambler
The light sets me free
I've been a rambler
The light sets me free
Sets me free!

Done my time in this hell
Accept the toll of the bell
Man in black has turned to light
He shall return for you tonight
Say goodbye to my old self

Open up your gate
Spirit dialate
Watch the falling sand
Slipping through his hand

Open up your gate
Spirit dialate
Whisper to your friends
Death is not the end

Not the end...
Not the end...
It's the beginning

Death is not the end

The Other New Song

(Deciphered by IPOM from the FLAC of the 08/15/06 Seoul show)

Woah yeah
Woah oh
Woah oh
Woah oh

The vultures come
The vultures come for me
Fly around sun
But now too late for me
Just sit and stare
Wait 'til I hit the ground
Little vultures tear
Little vultures tear at flesh

Vulture is down to stay
Pick the bone until your clean
Bone to bone and in between
Pick the bone until your clean

Woah oh
Woah oh
Woah yeah
Woah oh
Woah oh woah
Hey!

(solo)

Right without soul
I rummage high and low
Search for my soul
Search though I'm high above
We leave behind
Too late, too late again
I just want to search the soul
But my soul is flesh and bone again

Vultures is down to stay
Pick the bone until your clean
Bone to bone and in between
Pick the bone until your clean

Woah oh
Woah oh
Woah yeah
Woah woah
Woah oh woah

Vulturus
? ? 'turus
Vulturus

(solo)

Vulturus
? ? 'turus
Vulturus
?

Woah yeah
Woah oh
Woah yeah
Woah oh
Woah yeah
Woah oh
Woah yeah
Woah oh

Vulture is down to stay
Pick the bone until your clean
Bone to bone and in between
Pick the bone until your clean

Woah oh
Woah oh
Woah yeah
Yeah yeah
Woah oh woah!
Huh!

Vulturus!
