Metallica "Hell and Back"

A number of unreleased songs from Death Magnetic, "Shine", "To Hell and Back" and "Hate Train", were left off the album, but were rumored to be released as b-sides or on the next album. The titles were confirmed by Hammett and Ulrich on the MetOnTour video from December 20, 2008.

On December 5, 7, 9 and 10, 2011, the band played four new songs, "Hate Train", "Just a Bullet Away", "Hell and Back" and "Rebel of Babylon" respectively, at the Met Club concerts, which celebrate 30 years of Metallica. The day after each concert, Met Club members were sent an e-mail with a code for a free download of a rough mix of the song played at the show.

The songs were released officially as the Beyond Magnetic - EP on December 13, 2011. However, one song, based off of The New Song (performed in 2006), still remains unreleased, and was seen being worked on in multiple videos.

* I choose "hell and back" -  much easier to express the old days but not to be bad again... hehehe  

                ----just like the old days, i mean ....peace

There's nowhere else I can run to 

She's wretched but she comforts me

After everyone goes home

She's always there for me

When the sun goes hellbound

And the moon does resurrect the night

I'll hide within her

Not much good has come out of the light

After everyone goes home

And I'm left here on my own

I will run straight to Hell and back

Straight to Hell and back

When they turn out all their lights

And I'm left to brood at night

Always return to Hell and back

Straight to Hell and back

Straight down yeah

A lonely light in a window

Just longing for some company

Tragic, heartless and hateful

But there's nothing as willing as she

And when the night has fallen

It falls hard and then it all begins

When she starts her calling

I feel my darkness growing from within

After everyone goes home

And I'm left here on my own

I will run straight to Hell and back

Straight to Hell and back

When they turn out all their lights

And I'm left to brood at night

Always return to Hell and back

Straight to Hell and back

Straight to Hell and back

I will run straight to Hell and back

I become two

We become one

Unbridled... unequaled... unholy... undone

The path is cut deep

The path is worn well

I'll follow my footsteps to the warmth of Hell

The warmth of Hell

After everyone goes home

And I'm left here on my own

I will run straight to Hell and back

Straight to Hell and back

Straight to Hell and back

When they turn out all their lights

And I'm left to brood at night

Always return to Hell and back

Return to Hell and back

Straight to Hell and back

Straight to Hell and back

I will run straight to Hell and back

Straight down
