Deuterium (aka “Due Unto Him”)
(Notes: Cross between “2×4”, “The House That Jack Built”, and “Where The Wild Things Are”, all by Metallica off of the “Load” and “Reload” albums. Unchanged from original notes, except for the additional info on the songs it’s roots are in.)
Drinking alone in a bar
Not knowing what is due
Mother walks in, seeing her baby cry
Been there all to often, never knowing why
Now sickened with all of this unnecessary pain
She goes to the room where their bed had been made
Into the closet, what is that thing?
It is the wound to mend her pain
Abuse is cold, abuse with pain
Now has to come to bittersweet end
Don’t come home tonight
For you will lose your life
Pistol in hand, now needing a plan
Feeling the rush of anger through her skin
You took too much, she gave you a lot
Now time to end all of this pain you brought
And deuterium is near
And deuterium is near
Chorus:
Dueterium
Extremium
Your time is near, your time has come
Due unto him
The Pain within
The suffered ones now watch you run
Run, little man, run!
You’ll walk in, but you’ll never leave
From this moment on, you will be nothing
You had your chance to make amense
Better run quick, boy, if you want that last breath
And deuterium is near
And deuterium is near
Chorus
Drinking alone in a bar
Not knowing what is due
Don’t come home tonight
For you will lose your life
Deuterium is near
Come wash away their fears
It’s the last thing you hear
and “Deuterium is near!”
Chorus
Deuterium
Run, Little Man, Run!
