THE X-FILES: EXIT DEAD MAN
"Enter Sandman" written and performed by Metallica
"The X-Files" created by Chris Carter

My one good arm is almost useless. I can barely move it. Now I hear them barking. "Shoot him!" they yell. And not just the ones in the room with me. I hear the voices of all the people I've ever known or ever killed.

say your prayers little one
don't forget, my son
to include everyone

Does this mean I'm doing? I'm assuming it does. I can feel Skinner's anger swelling up inside him.

tuck you in, warm within
keep you free from sin
till the sandman he comes

There's no question about it now. I'm going to die. I can't even hold a gun anymore.

sleep with one eye open
gripping your pillow tight

Here I come, you cigarette-smoking bastard.

exit light
enter night
take my hand
off to never never land

I never in a million years imagined it would end like this. In the garage, in the prescense of the very people I've tried time and again to destroy.

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

My God...what was I thinking? I can see the afterlife that awaits me now. Why did I have to betray my countrymen, my friends, everyone? He's waiting for me there, waiting to do to me what I did to him for all eternity...

sleep with one eye open
gripping your pillow tight

exit light
enter night
take my hand
off to never never land

He's reaching out for me...another force is lifting my hand against my will...I'm trying to put it down, but I have no control over it...OH MY GOD! HIS TOUCH BURNS!

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

Oh my God.

"God can't hear you now," he says.

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

BANG! That noise was the final bullet--Skinner's done me in. And that old man's got me in his arms now. It burns, oh God, it burns.

exit light
enter night
grain of sand

exit light
enter night
take my hand
we're off to never never land

God...I'm so sorry...
