Metallica
Ride the Lightning (Live at Espace Ballard, Paris, France – February 9th, 1984)
[Intro]
This is a new one right here
From the forthcoming album
Entitled "Ride The Lightning"
[Verse 1]
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 has 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, hey
[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 here?
[Chorus]
Flash before my eyes
Now it's time to die
Burning in my brain
I can feel the flame
[Bridge]
Someone help me
Please, God!
They're tryin' to take it all away
I don't want to die
[Interlude]
Let's kick the fucking house out
Come on, show me what your are made of
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Someone help me
Come on, someone!
They're tryin' to take it all away
I don't want to die, yeah
[Interlude]
Come on, France
[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
You take my life from me?
[Chorus]
Flash before my eyes
Now it's time to die
Burning in my brain
I can feel the flame, yeah
