Ride the Lightning Lyrics

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 meWho made you God to say
I'll take your life from you?Flash before my eyes
Now, it's time to die
Burning in my brain
I can feel the flameWait 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 friendMy fingers grip with fear
What am I doing here?Flash before my eyes
Now, it's time to die
Burning in my brain
I can feel the flameSomeone help me
Oh please, God help me
They are trying to take it all away
I don't want to dieSomeone help me

Oh please, God help me
They are trying to take it all away
I don't want to dieTime 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 beWakened by horrid scream
Freed from this frightening dreamFlash before my eyes
Now, it's time to die
Burning in my brain
I can feel the flame
