Lyrics to Ride The Lightning [Full Album 1984] by Metallica

Tracklist: 01. Fight Fire With Fire [Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] Do unto others as they've done to you But what the hell is this world coming to? Blow the universe into nothingness Nuclear warfare shall lay us to rest [Chorus] Fight fire with fire Ending is near Fight fire with fire Bursting with fear We all shall die [Verse 2] Time is like a fuse, short and burning fast Armageddon's here, like said in the past [Chorus] Fight fire with fire Ending is near Fight fire with fire Bursting with fear [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] Soon to fill our lungs, the hot winds of death The gods are laughing, so take your last breath [Chorus] Fight fire with fire Ending is near Fight fire with fire Bursting with fear [Outro] Fight fire with fire, fight fire with fire Fight fire with fire, fight fire with fire Fight fire with fire, fight fire with fire Fight fire with fire, fight fire with fire! Fight! 02. Ride The Lightning [Verse 1] Guilty as charged, but damn, 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 flick 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 03. For Whom The Bell Tolls [Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] Make his fight on the hill in the early day Constant chill deep inside Shouting gun, on they run through the endless grey On they fight, for they're right, yes, but who's to say? For a hill, men would kill, why? They do not know Stiffened wounds test their pride Men of five still alive through the raging glow Gone insane from the pain that they surely know [Chorus] For whom the bell tolls Time marches on For whom the bell tolls [Verse 2] Take a look to the sky just before you die It's the last time you will Blackened roar, massive roar fills the crumbling sky Shattered goal fill his soul with a ruthless cry Stranger now are his eyes to this mystery Hears the silence so loud Crack of dawn, all is gone except the will to be Now they see what will be, blinded eyes to see [Chorus] For whom the bell tolls Time marches on For whom the bell tolls [Outro] 04. Fade To Black [Verse 1] Life, it seems, will fade away Drifting further every day Getting lost within myself Nothing matters, no one else I have lost the will to live Simply nothing more to give There is nothing more for me Need the end to set me free [Verse 2] Things not what they used to be Missing one inside of me Deathly loss, this can't be real Cannot stand this hell I feel Emptiness is filling me To the point of agony Growing darkness taking dawn I was me, but now he's gone [Bridge] No one but me can save myself, but it's too late Now I can't think... think why I should even try Yesterday seems as though it never existed Death greets me warm, now I will just say goodbye Goodbye... [Instrumental Outro] 05. Trapped Under Ice [Verse 1] I don't know how to live through this hell Woken up, I'm still locked in this shell Frozen soul, frozen down to the core Break the ice, I can't take anymore [Chorus] Freezing, (freezing) can't move at all Screaming, (screaming) can't hear my call I am dying to live Cry out, I'm trapped under ice [Verse 2] Crystallized as I lay here and rest Eyes of glass stare directly at death From deep sleep, I have broken away No one knows, no one hears what I say [Chorus] Freezing, (freezing) can't move at all Screaming, (screaming) can't hear my call I am dying to live Cry out, I'm trapped under ice [Bridge] Scream from my soul Fate, mystified Hell, forever more Scream from my soul Fate, mystified Hell, forever more [Guitar solo] [Verse 3] No release from my cryonic state What is this? I've been stricken by fate Wrapped up tight, cannot move, can't break free Hand of doom has a tight grip on me [Chorus] Freezing, (freezing) can't move at all Screaming, (screaming) can't hear my call I am dying to live Cry out, I'm trapped under ice Freezing, (freezing) can't move at all Screaming, (screaming) can't hear my call I am dying to live Cry out, I'm trapped under ice 06. Escape [Verse 1] Feel no pain, but my life ain't easy I know I'm my best friend No one cares, but I'm so much stronger I'll fight until the end To escape from the true false world Undamaged destiny Can't get caught in the endless circle Ring of stupidity [Chorus] Out for my own, out to be free One with my mind, they just can't see No need to hear things that they say Life's for my own to live my own way [Verse 2] Rape my mind and destroy my feelings Don't tell me what to do I don't care now, 'cause I'm on my side And I can see through you Feed my brain with your so called standards Who says that I ain't right? Break away from your common fashion See through your blurry sight [Chorus] Out for my own, out to be free One with my mind, they just can't see No need to hear things that they say Life's for my own to live my own way [Bridge] See them try to bring the hammer down No damn chains can hold me to the ground [Guitar Solo] [Outro] Life's for my own to live my own way Life's for my own to live my own way Life's for my own to live my own way Life's for my own to live my own way Life's for my own to live my own way Life's for my own to live my own way Life's for my own to live my own way Life's for my own to live my own way 07. Creeping Death [Verse 1] Slaves, Hebrews born to serve To the Pharaoh Heed to his every word Live in fear Faith of the unknown one The deliverer Wait, something must be done Four hundred years [Chorus] So let it be written So let it be done I'm sent here by the chosen one So let it be written So let it be done To kill the first born Pharaoh son I'm creeping death [Verse 2] Now, let my people go Land of Goshen Go, I will be with thee Bush of fire Blood, running red and strong Down the Nile Plague, darkness three days long Hail to fire [Chorus] So let it be written So let it be done I'm sent here by the chosen one So let it be written So let it be done To kill the first born Pharaoh son I'm creeping death [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] Die, by my hand (Die) I creep across the land (Die) Killing first born man Die, by my hand (Die) I creep across the land (Die) Killing first born man [Verse 3] I rule the midnight air The destroyer Born, I shall soon be there Deadly mass I creep the steps and floor Final darkness Blood, lamb's blood painted door I shall pass [Chorus] So let it be written So let it be done I'm sent here by the chosen one So let it be written So let it be done To kill the first born Pharaoh son I'm creeping death 08.
