Ride the Lightning (Live at the Country Club, Reseda, CA - Nov. 8th, 1986) Lyrics

Who are you?
So who told who about this thing, huh?
I'll betcha it started with you. Yeah, you fucker
Alright, this is the title track off of "Ride The Lightning"
Let's see some fucking craziness going on

Come on

Guilty as charged, but dammit, 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"?
Yeah-yeah-yeah-ya

Flash before my eyes
Now it's time to die
Burning in my brain
I can feel the flame
Hey-hey-hey

Wait for the sign, 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 here?
Yeah-yeah-yeah-ya

Flash before my eyes
Now it's time to die
Burning in my brain
I can feel the flame

Someone help me
Oh please, God, help me
They're trying to take it all away
I don't want to die

Somebody
Oh please, God, help me
They are 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
I'm through with this, just get it over with
Is this true? Just let it be

Wakened by horrid scream
Freed from this frightening dream
Yeah-yeah-yeah-ya

Flash before my eyes
Now it's time to die
Burning in my brain
I can feel the flame
Yeah-yeah-yeah
