Ride The Lightning Lyrics

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 cream 
Freed from the frightening dream 

chorus:
