James Hetfield - Ride the Lightning lyrics

[Verse 1] Guilty as charged But damn, it ain't right There's someone else controlling me d**h in the air Strapped in the electric chair This can't be happening to me 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 flick the switch of d**h It's the beginning of the end Sweat, chilling cold As I watch d**h unfold Consciousness my only friend 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 [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 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
