For Whom the Bell Tolls (Live at Day On the Green, Oakland, CA, 10/12/91)

[Intro]

Ugh, a question, uh

How many of you guys were, uh, here in '85? Remember that there?

Just been watching some video tapes of that show, and, uh

Watching, uh, fucking Cliff playing, uh

The guy was one happy mutherfucker to be playing that show

I would, uh, I'd like to dedicate this next, uh, next song to our buddy Cliff there

So you guys fuckin' sing along with us

It's, uh, from the album Ride The Lightning

You probably goddamn guessed what it is

Let's make some noise here, hey, hey, hey, come on

Everyone

Yeah, Jason's starting it, it's entitled, "For Whom The Bell Tolls"

[Verse 1]

Make his fight, on the hill, in the early day

Constant chill deep inside

Shouting gun, on they run, through the endless grey

On they fight, for they're right, yes, but who's to say?

For a hill, men would kill, why? They do not know

Stiffened wounds test their pride

Men of five, still alive, through the raging glow

Gone insane from the pain that they surely know

[Chorus]

For whom the bell tolls

Time marches on, sing it

For whom the bell tolls

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]

Take a look to the sky just before you die

It's the last time he will

Blackened roar, massive roar, fills the crumbling sky

Shattered goal fills his soul with a ruthless cry

Stranger now are his eyes to this mystery

Hears the silence so loud

Crack of dawn, all is gone, except the will to be

Now they see what will be, blinded eyes to see

[Chorus]

For whom the bell tolls

Time marches on, sing it

For whom the bell tolls

[Instrumental Outro]
