RIDE THE LIGHTNING LYRICS

FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE

DO UNTO OTHERS AS THEY HAVE DONE TO YOU BUT WHAT IN THE HELL IS THIS WORLD COMING TO?

BLOW THE UNIVERSE INTO NOTHINGNESS NUCLEAR WARFARE SHALL LAY US TO REST

FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE ENDING IS NEAR

FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE BURSTING WITH FEAR

WE ALL SHALL DIE TIME IS LIKE A FUSE, SHORT AND BURNING FAST

ARMAGEDDON IS HERE, LIKE SAID IN THE PAST FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE

ENDING IS NEAR FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE

BURSTING WITH FEAR SOON TO FILL OUR LUNGS THE HOT WINDS OF DEATH

THE GODS ARE LAUGHING, SO TAKE YOUR LAST BREATH FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE

ENDING IS NEAR FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE

BURSTING WITH FEAR FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE

RIDE THE LIGHITNG

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!"

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?

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 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

FLASH BEFORE MY EYES NOW IT'S TIME TO DIE

BURNING IN MY BRAIN I CAN FEEL THE FLAME

FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS

MAKE HIS FIGHT ON THE HILL IN THE EARLY DAY CONSTANT CHILL DEEP INSIDE

SHOUTING GUN, ON THEY RUN THROUGH THE ENDLESS GREY ON THE FIGHT, FOR THEY ARE RIGHT, YES, BY WHO'S TO SAY?

FOR A HILL MEN WOULD KILL, WHY? THEY DO NOT KNOW SUFFERED WOUNDS TEST THERE THEIR PRIDE

MEN OF FIVE, STILL ALIVE THROUGH THE RAGING GLOW GONE INSANE FROM THE PAIN THAT THEY SURELY KNOW

FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS TIME MARCHES ON

FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS TAKE A LOOK TO THE SKY JUST BEFORE YOU DIE

IT IS THE LAST TIME YOU WILL BLACKENED ROAR MASSIVE ROAR FILLS THE CRUMBLING SKY

SHATTERED GOAL FILLS HIS SOUL WITH A RUTHLESS CRY STRANGER NOW, ARE HIS EYES, TO THIS MYSTERY

CRACK OF DAWN, ALL IS GONE EXCEPT THE WILL TO BE NOW THEY SEE WHAT WILL BE, BLINDED EYES TO SEE

FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS TIME MARCHES ON

FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS

FADE TO BLACK

LIFE IT SEEMS, WILL FADE AWAY DRIFTING FURTHER EVERY DAY

GETTING LOST WITHIN MYSELF NOTHING MATTERS NO ONE ELSE

I HAVE LOST THE WILL TO LIVE SIMPLY NOTHING MORE TO GIVE

THERE IS NOTHING MORE FOR ME NEED THE END TO SET ME FREE

THINGS ARE NOT WHAT THEY USED TO BE MISSING ONE INSIDE OF ME

DEATHLY LOST, THIS CAN'T BE REAL CANNOT STAND THIS HELL I FEEL

EMPTINESS IS FILING ME TO THE POINT OF AGONY

GROWING DARKNESS TAKING DAWN I WAS ME, BUT NOW HE'S GONE

NO ONE BUT ME CAN SAVE MYSELF, BUT IT TO LATE NOW I CAN'T THINK, THINK WHY I SHOULD EVEN TRY

YESTERDAY SEEMS AS THOUGH IT NEVER EXISTED DEATH GREETS ME WARM, NOW I WILL JUST SAY GOODBYE

TRAPPED UNDER ICE

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO LIVE TROUGH THIS HELL WOKEN UP, I'M STILL LOCKED IN THIS SHELL

FROZEN SOUL, FROZEN DOWN TO THE CORE BREAK THE ICE, I CAN'T TAKE ANYMORE

FREEZING CAN'T MOVE AT ALL

SCREAMING CAN'T HEAR MY CALL

I AM DYING TO LIVE CRY OUT

I'M TRAPPED UNDER THE ICE CRYSTALLIZED, AS I LAY HERE AND REST

EYES OF GLASS STARE DIRECTLY AT DEATH FROM DEEP SLEEP I HAVE BROKEN AWAY

NO ONE KNOWS, NO ONE HEARS WHAT I SAY FREEZING

CAN'T MOVE AT ALL SCREAMING

CAN'T HEAR MY CALL I AM DYING TO LIVE

CRY OUT I'M TRAPPED UNDER THE ICE

SCREAM FROM MY SOUL FATE, MYSTIFIED

HELL, FOREVER MORE NO RELEASE FROM MY CRYONIC STATE

WHAT IS THIS? I'VE BEEN STRICKEN BY FATE WRAPPED UP TIGHT, CANNOT MOVE, CAN'T BREAK FREE

HAND OF DOOM HAS A TIGHT GRIP ON ME FREEZING

CAN'T MOVE AT ALL SCREAMING

CAN'T HEAR MY CALL I AM DYING TO LIVE

CRY OUT I'M TRAPPED UNDER THE ICE

ESCAPE

FEEL NO PAIN, BUT MY LIFE AIN'T EASY I KNOW I'M MY BEST FRIEND

NO ONE CARES, BUT I'M SO MUCH STRONGER I'LL FIGHT UNTIL THE END

TO ESCAPE FROM THE TRUE FALSE WORLD UNDAMAGED DESTINY

CAN'T GET CAUGHT IN THE ENDLESS CIRCLE RING OF STUPIDITY

OUT OF MY OWN, OUT TO BE FREE ONE WITH MY MIND, THEY JUST CAN'T SEE

NO NEED TO HEAR THINGS THAT THEY SAY LIFE IS FOR MY OWN TO LIVE MY OWN WAY

RAPE MY MIND AND DESTROY MY FEELINGS DON'T TELL MY WHAT TO DO

I DON'T CARE NOW, 'CAUSE I'M ON MY SIDE AND I CAN SEE THROUGH YOU

FEED MY BRAIN WITH YOUR SO CALLED STANDARDS WHO SAYS THAT I AIN'T RIGHT

BREAK AWAY FROM YOUR COMMON FASHION SEE THROUGH YOUR BLURRY SIGHT

OUT OF MY OWN, OUT TO BE FREE ONE WITH MY MIND, THEY JUST CAN'T SEE

NO NEED TO HEAR THINGS THAT THEY SAY LIFE IS FOR MY OWN TO LIVE MY OWN WAY

SEE THEY TRY TO BRING THE HAMMER DOWN NO DAMN CHAINS CAN HOLD ME TO THE GROUND

LIFE IS FOR MY OWN TO LIVE MY OWN WAY

CREEPING DEATH

SLAVES HEBREWS BORN TO SERVE, TO THE PHARAOH

HEED TO HIS EVERY WORD, LIVE IN FEAR

FAITH OF THE UNKNOWN ONE, THE DELIVERER

WAIT SOMETHING MUST BE DONE, FOUR HUNDRED YEARS

SO LET IT BE WRITTEN SO LET IT BE DONE

I'M SENT HERE BY THE CHOSEN ONE SO LET IT BE WRITTEN

SO LET IT BE DONE TO KILL THE FIRST BORN PHARAOH SON
