Enter Sandman talks to people afraid of dreaming and having bad nightmares, especially with the sandman saga. it first warns the listener to say their prayers and remember not to forget everyone.
It takes the listener further deep with the 4th line Tuck you in, warm within. as the person in the Enter the sandman lyrics sink deep into the nightmare. But also warns the victim to be aware and sleep wiht one eye open.
But as the dream starts, person starts gripping pillow tight, and darkness sank in with the "exit light" line.
The dreams takes us to war ,liars, dragons fire and things that will bite. It adds prayer Now I lay me down to slepp, pray the lord my soul to keep. A perfect dream and nightmare tale executed by metallica. This is one of metallica lyrics that describes what people go through in nightmares. 

"Metallica" Lyrics

1. Enter Sandman

• Say your prayers little one
• Don't forget, my son
• To include everyone
• Tuck you in, warm within
• Keep you free from sin
• Till the sandman he comes
• Sleep with one eye open
• Gripping your pillow tight
• Exit light
• Enter night
• Take my hand
• Off to never never land
• Something's wrong, shut the light
• Heavy thoughts tonight
• And they aren't of snow white
• Dreams of war, dreams of liars
• Dreams of dragon's fire
• And of things that will bite
• Sleep with one eye open
• Gripping your pillow tight
• Exit light
• Enter night
• Take my hand
• Off to never never land
• Now I lay me down to sleep
• Pray the lord my soul to keep
• If I die before I wake
• Pray the lord my soul to take
• Hush little baby, don't say a word
• And never mind that noise you heard
• It's just the beast under your bed,
• In your closet, in your head
• Exit light
• Enter night
• Grain of sand
• Exit light
• Enter night
• Take my hand
• We're off to never never land

2. Sad but True

• Hey
• I'm your life
• I'm the one who takes you there
• Hey
• I'm your life
• I'm the one who cares
• They
• They betray
• I'm your only true friend now
• They
• They'll betray
• I'm forever there
• I'm your dream, make you real
• I'm your eyes when you must steal
• I'm your pain when you can't feel
• Sad but true
• I'm your dream, mind astray
• I'm your eyes while you're away
• I'm your pain while you repay
• You know it's sad but true
• You
• You're my mask
• You're my cover, my shelter
• You
• You're my mask
• You're the one who's blamed
• Do
• Do my work
• Do my dirty work, scapegoat
• Do
• Do my deeds
• For you're the one who's shamed
• I'm your dream, make you real
• I'm your eyes when you must steal
• I'm your pain when you can't feel
• Sad but true
• I'm your dream, mind astray
• I'm your eyes while you're away

3. Hollier than thou

• No more!
• The craps rolls out your mouth again
• Haven't changed, your brain is still gelatin
• Little whispers circle around your head
• Why don't you worry about yourself instead
• Who are you? where ya been? where ya from?
• Gossip is burning on the tip of your tongue
• You lie so much you believe yourself
• Judge not lest ye be judged yourself
• Holier than thou
• You are
• Holier than thou
• You are
• You know not
• Before you judge me take a look at you
• Can't you find somethig better to do
• Point the finger, slow to understand
• Arrogance and ignorance go hand in hand
• It's not who you are it's who you know
• Others lives are the basis of your own
• Burn your bridges build them back with wealth
• Judge not lest ye be judged yourself
• Holier than thou
• You are
• Holier than thou
• You are
• You know not

4. The Unforgiven

• New blood joins this earth,
• And quickly he's subdued.
• Through constant pained disgrace
• The young boy learns their rules.
• With time the child draws in.
• This whipping boy done wrong.
• Deprived of all his thoughts
• The young man struggles on and on.
• He's known a vow unto his own,
• That never from this day
• His will they'll take away.
• What I've felt,
• What I've known
• Never shined through in what I've shown.
• Never be.
• Never see.
• Won't see what might have been.
• What I've felt,
• What I've known
• Never shined through in what I've shown.
• Never free.
• Never me.
• So I dub thee unforgiven.
• They dedicate their lives
• To running all of his.
• He tries to please them all –
• This bitter man he is.
• Throughout his life the same –
• He's battled constantly.
• This fight he cannot win –
• A tired man they see no longer cares.
• The old man then prepares
• To die regretfully –
• That old man here is me.
• What I've felt,
• What I've known
• Never shined through in what I've shown.
• Never be.
• Never see.
• Won't see what might have been.
• What I've felt,
• What I've known
• Never shined through in what I've shown.
• Never free.
• Never me.
• So I dub thee unforgiven.
• [Solo]
• What I've felt,
• What I've known
• Never shined through in what I've shown.
• Never be.
• Never see.
• Won't see what might have been.
• What I've felt,
• What I've known
• Never shined through in what I've shown.
• Never free.
• Never me.
• So I dub thee unforgiven.
• Never free.
• Never me.
• So I dub thee unforgiven.
• You labelled me,
• I'll label you.
• So I dub thee unforgiven.
• Never free.
• Never me.
• So I dub thee unforgiven.
• You labelled me,
• I'll label you.
• So I dub thee unforgiven.
• Never free.
• Never me.
• So I dub thee unforgiven.

5. Where ever i may roam

• and the road becomes my bride
• I have stripped of all but pride
• So in her I do confide
• And she keeps me satisfied
• Gives me all I need
• ...and with dust in throat I crave
• Only knowledge will I save
• To the game you stay a slave
• Rover wanderer
• Nomad vagabond
• Call me what you will
• But I'll take my time anywhere
• Free to speak my mind anywhere
• And I'll redefine anywhere
• Anywhere I may roam
• Where I lay my head is home
• ...and the earth becomes my throne
• I adapt to the unknown
• Under wandering stars I've grown
• By myself but not alone
• I ask no one
• ...and my ties are severed clean
• The less I have the more I gain
• Off the beaten path I reign
• Rover wanderer
• Nomad vagabond
• Call me what you will
• But I'll take my time anywhere
• I'm free to speak my mind anywhere
• And I'll never mind anywhere
• Anywhere I may roam
• Where I lay my head is home
• But i'll take my time anywhere
• Free to speak my mind
• And I'll take my find anywhere
• Anywhere I may roam
• Where I lay my head is home
• Carved upon my stone
• My body lie, but still I roam
• Wherever I may roam

6. Dont thread on me

• Liberty or death, what we so proudly hail
• Once you provoke her, rattling of her tail
• Never begins it, never, but once engaged...
• Never surrenders, showing the fangs of rage
• Don't tread on me
• So be it
• Threaten no more
• To secure peace is to prepare for war
• So be it
• Settle the score
• Touch me again for the words that you'll hear evermore...
• Don't tread on me
• Love it or live it, she with the deadly bite
• Quick is the blue tongue, forked as lighting strike
• Shining with brightness, always on surveillance
• The eyes, they never close, emblem of vigilance
• Don't tread on me
• So be it
• Threaten no more
• To secure peace is to prepare for war
• So be it
• Settle the score
• Touch me again for the words that you'll hear evermore...
• Don't tread on me
• So be it
• Threaten no more
• To secure peace is to prepare for war
• Liberty or death, what we so proudly hail
• Once you provoke her, rattling on her tail
• So be it
• Threaten no more
• To secure peace is to prepare for war
• So be it
• Settle the score
• Touch me again for the words that you'll hear evermore
• Don't tread on me

8. Nothing Else Matters

• So close no matter how far
• Couldn't be much more from the heart

• All these words I don't just say
• And nothing else matters
• Trust I seek and I find in you
• Every day for us something new
• Open mind for a different view
• And nothing else matters
• Never cared for what they do
• Never cared for what they know
• But I know

• Couldn't be much more from the heart
• Forever trusting who we are
• And nothing else matters
• Never cared for what they do

• Every day for us something new
• Open mind for a different view
• And nothing else matters
• Never cared for what they say
• Never cared for games they play
• Never cared for what they do
• Never cared for what they know
• And I know
• So close no matter how far
• Couldn't be much more from the heart
• Forever trusting who we are
• No nothing else matters
