Ride the Lightning

Guilty as charged

But damn it, it ain't right

There is 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!" 



chorus:

    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? 



chorus: 



Someone help me

Oh please God help me

They are trying to take it all away

I don't want to die 



Time moving slowly

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 



chorus:
