Lyrics:
Say your prayers, little one, don't forget, my son
To include everyone
I tuck you in, warm within, keep you free from sin
'Til the Sandman, he comes

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're 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 dragons' fire
And of things that will bite, yeah

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land
Yeah-hah

Now, I lay me down to sleep (Now, I lay me down to sleep)
Pray the Lord my soul to keep (Pray the Lord my soul to keep)
If I die before I wake (If I die before I wake)
Pray the Lord my soul to take (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 beasts 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

  • Lemmy is so amazing that he passed away in 2015 and still releases music in 2023, a true legend
  • Your legacy continues Lemmy, We will never let it die! We love and miss you dearly, Til we meet again. Motörhead will be played loud and proud!
  • @dazblitz9602
    You know you've done something right when you can cover a song by a band that you very much influenced. RIP LEMMY.
  • @johnperez4168
    I love how the Heavy Metal warrior was the child's protector!
  • Lemmy and Motörhead still rocks at this days, hail lemmy
  • I love how intimidating the dad looks but he's actually a really good dad, tucking his kid into bed and making sure he's all comfy. Probably a dad who doesn't show much emotion but clearly shows through his actions that he loves his son. Also, his walking animation makes me crack up for zero reason.
  • Even if you don't like metal, you have to admit that this is art at its best. Motörhead for life
  • The video kinda has a heartwarming ending, with the kid's protector winning and defeating the demon
  • Must be such an honor for Hetfield & co to hear those great covers from their heroes. Metallica were always open about their influences like Motor- & Diamondhead while paying them homage with their covers. Them returning the favor is just awesome!
  • @kevgmei
    Lemmy's voice was perfect for Metallica covers, and it's really cool to see Snaggletooth animated!
  • @arjitjere1559
    The song is a classic and Lemmy's voice is legendary but whoever made this animated video...just wow. Such a surreal horror setting
  • @stonednoise
    I don’t know why they dropped the video after such a long time, but I’m glad they did! It’s great! Motörhead will never die!
  • Am i a criminal for saying this is the better sounding version at least for me
  • @DougKatz-hu8cn
    Lemmy is the face of what heavy metal stands for,as Lemmy would say,...fuck off,and happy 4th of July 2024..RIP Lemmy Motorhead rock god.
  • @mrambrose5013
    Had the great pleasure of seeing ( and then drinking) with Motörhead many many years ago.. Absolute legends..
  • @luiscubos2480
    Man! I literally felt goosebumps when I heard Lemmy's voice again! Hail Lemmy! Motorhead forever!🤘🏻
  • @funnydylan9834
    Making music from beyond the grave. Legend. He’s my inspiration to learn bass guitar and possibly make a band and make good music again for the world. RIP Lemmy. May god bless your soul. ❤️✝️❤️‍🔥🎸
  • I have like the worst WiFi ever and every video I watch either stops halfway through for like 3 minutes or takes forever to load, but that has never once happened when I was listening to this song. Even my untameable beast of a router has respect for the most kickass band in the world. Rock on 🤘🤘🤘
  • that ECW comp was so SO good. Pretty damn cool seeing this cover get this sort of fanfare so many years later.
