If Darkness Had A Son (Live - Phoenix 09.09.23)

[James Hetfield]
So more 72 seasons for you
Are you still out there?

[Intro]
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!

One, two, three, four

[Refrain] [James & Robert]
Temptation
Temptation
Temptation
Temptation

[Verse 1] [James Hetfield]
The beast still shouts for what it's yearning
He stokes the fire, desire burning
The never-ending quenchless craving
The unforgiven misbehaving

[Chorus] [James Hetfield]
If darkness had a son, here I am
Temptation is his father
If darkness had a son, here I am
I bathe in holy water
Temptation, leave me be

[Refrain] [James & Robert]
Temptation
Temptation
Temptation
Temptation

[Verse 2] [James Hetfield]
So paint your eyes as black as sorrow
Hide yourself behind tomorrow
The nightmares search for infiltration
In domination, captivation

[Chorus] [James Hetfield]
If darkness had a son, here I am
Temptation is his father
If darkness had a son, here I am
I bathe in holy water
Temptation, leave me be

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3] [James Hetfield]
Return again to where it's darkest
Dragging home this heathen harvest
And all the children subjugated
Manipulated, propagated

[Chorus] [James Hetfield]
If darkness had a son, here I am
Temptation is his father
If darkness had a son, here I am
I bathe in holy water

[Post-Chorus] [James & Robert]
If darkness had a son, here I am
If darkness had a son, here I am
If darkness had a son, here I am
I bathe in holy water
Temptation, leave me be

[Outro]
