Originally released by The Misfits in 1980 on the Beware EP, Metallica have already released their version in their 1987's Garage Days Re-Revisited EP.

Lyrics

Here in this place lies the key to your death
Touch it, see it
Here in this place is the means to your end
Touch it, feel it
Green hell

You did your best as someone could
I bet you never knew you would
Did you run away from it?
I bet you thought you were really good

We're gonna burn in hell
 Green hell green hell
Like every hell but kind of green
Green hell green hell
Try let me get back up there
Green hell green hell
Feel it burning in your cereal
Green hell green hell
Throw our fuckin' friends inside
Green hell green hell
Gotta fucking pay and you must stay
Green hell green hell
Cannot forget about the best
Green hell green hell
Hell is reigning in your blood
Green hell green hell
Gotta burn it all
Green hell

You did your best as someone could
I bet you never knew you would
And did you run away from me?
I bet you think they were really good

Here in this place lies the key to your death
Touch it, see it
Here in this place sister won't let it in
Touch it, feel it
Green hell 

You did your best as someone could
I bet you'd never knew you would
Did you run away from it?
I bet you thought you were really good
You've come to this as someone told
I bet you'd never knew you would
Gonna bring
Green hell
