Ride the Lightning

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] 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"? [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 My fingers grip with fear What am I doing herе? [Chorus] Flash before my eyеs Now it's time to die Burning in my brain I can feel the flame [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] Someone help me Oh please, God, help me They're trying to take it all away I don't want to die (Ah) [Instrumental Break] [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 (Ah) [Instrumental Break] [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 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 [Instrumental Outro]
