Lou Reed, Metallica - The View lyrics

I am a chorus of the voices
That gather up the magnets set before me
I attract you and repel you
A science of the heart and blood and meaning
The coldness of most beauties is a challenge
That our youth must quickly conquer
There is no time for guilt
Or second guessing, second guessing
Based on feeling i am the truth, the beauty
That causes you to cross
Your sacred boundaries i have no morals
Some think me cheap and someone who despises
The normalcy of heartbreak
The purity of love but I worship the young
And just formed angel
Who sit's upon the pin of lust
Everything else bores me

I want to see your suicide
I want to see you give it up
Your life of reason i want you on the floor
And in a coffin your soul shaking
I want to have you doubting
Every meaning you've amassed like a fortune
Oh, throw it away for worship of someone who
Actively despises you
For worship of someone who
Actively despises you!

I am the root! I am the progress!
I'm the aggressor! I am the tablet!
These ten stories!

Worship! Worship!
Pain and evil have their place
Sitting here beside me!
I offer them to you as servants
Of the gold that you must give!
Pain and evil have their place
Sitting here beside me!
And I will offer them, I offer them to you
As servants of the gold that
You must give to me!

I want to see your suicide
I want to see you give it up
Your life of reason
I want to see you on the floor
And in a coffin, soul shaking, soul shaking
I want to have you doubting
Every meaning you've amassed like a fortune
Like a fortune, throw it away
For worship of someone who
Actively despises you
Who actively despises you!

I am the view! I am the table!
I am the view, I am the table!
I am all this! I am the root!
The progress! The aggressor!
I am the table! I am the ten stories!
I am the table! I am! I am! I am! I am!
I am!
