Ride the Lightning

Guilty as charged but damn it, 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 Who made you God to say: “I’ll take your life from you”? Flash before my eyes Now it’s time to die Burning in my brain I can feel the flames 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 My fingers grip with fear What I am doing here? Flash before my eyes Now it’s time to die Burning in my brain I can feel the flames Someone help me Oh please, God help me They’re trying to take it all away I don’t want to die Someone help me Oh please, God help me They’re trying to take it all away I don’t want to die 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 the horrid scream Freed from the frightening dream Flash before my eyes Now it’s time to die Burning in my brain I can feel the flames
