metallica - ride the lightning [live- 4/16/2016] lyrics
[verse 1]
guilty as charged, but d+mn, it ain’t right
there’s someone else controlling me
death in the air, strapped in the electric chair
this can’t be happening to me
[pre+chorus]
who made you god to say
“i’ll take your life from you?”
[chorus]
flash before my eyes
now it’s time to die
burning in my brain
i can feel the flame
[verse 2]
wait for the sign to fl!ck the switch of death
it’s the beginning of the end
sweat, chilling cold, as i watch death unfold
consciousness, my only friend
[pre+chorus]
my fingers grip with fear
what am i doing here?
[chorus]
flash before my eyes
now it’s time to die
burning in my brain
i can feel the flame
[bridge]
someone help me
oh please, god, help me!
they’re trying to take it all away
i don’t want to die
[guitar solo]
[bridge]
someone help me
oh please, god, help me!
they’re trying to take it all away
i don’t want to die
[verse 3]
time moving slow, the minutes seem like hours
the final curtain call i see
how true is this? just get it over with
if this is true, just let it be
[pre+chorus]
wakened by a horrid scream
freed from this frightening dream
[chorus]
flash before my eyes
now it’s time to die
burning in my brain
i can feel the flame
