    Spoken Word by James Hetfield:
    I can't remember anything
    Can't tell if this is true or a dream
    Deep down inside I feel to scream
    This terrible silence stops me
    Now that the war is through with me
    I'm waking up, I cannot see
    That there's not much left of me
    Nothing is real but pain now
    Hold my breath as I wish for death
    Oh please, God, wake me
    Back in the womb it's much too real
    In pumps life that I must feel
    But can't look forward to reveal
    Look to the time when I'll live
    Fed through the tube that sticks in me
    Just like a wartime novelty
    Tied to machines that make me be
    Cut this life off from me
    Hold my breath as I wish for death
    Oh please, God, wake me
    Now the world is gone, I'm just one
    Oh God, help me
    Hold my breath as I wish for death
    Oh please, God, please God, help me, help me
    Darkness imprisoning me
    All that I see
    Absolute horror
    I cannot live
    I cannot die
    Trapped in myself
    Body my holding cell
    Landmine has taken my sight
    Taken my speech
    Taken my hearing
    Taken my arms
    Taken my legs
    Taken my soul
    Left me with life in hell

    It's hard to fathom Apocalyptica's journey after this. From being called a cheap cover brand, to playing Wagner with orchestra and circus performances all the way to being the most respected cello-driven band collaborating with the band that started them. This is incredible. Hats off to you, men. Rock on! 🤘🤘

      Metallica was never known as a cover band. When Metallica first started, they did do their own versions of covers but did not tell anyone they were performing covers and nobody knew any different and Metallica was never called or known as a "cover band". Also Apocalyptica may be a cover band of sorts, they were never know as a cheap cover band but a band that did fantastic reimagined covers of songs and made them their own.

    I love James narrating his lyrics instead of singing them. It makes it feel more personal like reading a letter that was written before he lost his limbs, hearing and sight by an explosion. But knowing that it’s just happening inside his head. It’s heavy

      Me too. The helplessness of the guy's situation is magnified more that way.

    There's a part of me that wishes James had actually sung on this, but it doesn't matter, not when you hear all the rest of it. Somehow he managed to ignore a vocal melody he's sung hundreds (if not thousands) of times, and make the delivery of each line meaningful. That takes tremendous work and effort. There are hints of Leonard Cohen and Tom Waits in his voice. It sounds fantastic. The orchestration and every other decision made on this song make it new and original. Having a fresh take on a classic is no easy task, but this does it to perfection. It's almost more of a musical art piece than a song, and that's more than okay.

    Although people
    Commented they didn’t like James speaking instead of singing, that made this version special to me!
    It made it has its own flavor. If he had sang like he’s used to sing, it would be just another cover with James making it sound as the original version. The fact that he spoke the lyrics made me focused on the drama of the lyric itself instead of the vocal melody, making the song look as a movie. Awesome version!

      But the sad thing is that no one really knows about the 'silent war.' The anti-poaching war. We are in the midst of the mass extinction because of the depletion of biodiversity and people risking their lives and lives of their families to protect what is left and no one knows. The things that poachers and other people from the illegal wildlife trade do to the animals are the worst imaginable horror possible. Watch RHINO MAN the movie and follow Global Conservation Corps and The Zoo of Queensland. There you will learn about the horrors of the silent war.

    ::takes a deep breath:: WHEW! That wasn't just a cover song, that wasn't just an EPIC music video, that wasn't even a symphonic metal MASTERPIECE. That, ladies and gentlemen, was an entire EXPERIENCE!!! Patric Ullaeus has completely surpassed himself as a film director and cinematographer. The juxtaposition of the majestically beautiful cellos and James Hetfield actually speaking the lyrics instead of growling them out was just completely HAUNTING! Having listened to this song literally THOUSANDS of times over the last 30 plus years or so, we have certain expectations when we start hearing those oh so familiar chords and notations playing. Even the eponymous S&M album from over 25 years ago, with it's overly bombastic and brutal orchestral version gave us yet another aspect to the song that we have grown to accept and cherish over the years. THIS, quite literally and simply, destroys EVERY expectation and preconception ONE might have about how this song should sound. Is it the definitive version? NO, we already have that one, and it's perfect in its own right. THIS is simply an offering and homage delivered with love, respect, passion and class. Tough, dirty, gritty, ugly, brutal. But, that's WAR folks. Everyone involved in this project came into it with a very clear picture of what they intended to achieve, and they completely surpassed them. THIS is one of those videos that's going to stick with you for a VERY long time. Apocalyptica has given us something we never even knew we needed, and now that we have it, we're NEVER letting it go.

    This is a video and an interpretation that really touched my soul, it's moving and intense and a very different interpretation from your previous cover of ONE and yet equally beautiful.
    This new cover of yours reveals more the human side of war, the desperation linked to it, the images are strong and very fitting for the concept. And James Hetfield's narrating voice is really perfect, it gives a different touch. I'm so happy of the collaboration with James and Rob, this is a great collaboration project and once again Apocalyptica shows that after many years they can surprise us with something completely new.
