Ride the Lightning

Fight Fire With Fire

     Do unto others as they have done unto 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 shall die

     Time is like a fuse, short and burning fast

     Armageddon is here, like said in the past

     

     Soon to fill our lungs the hot winds of death

     The gods are laughing, so take your last breath

     chorus:



Ride the Lightning

     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?

     

     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

    



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

     He hears the silence so loud

     Crack of dawn, all is gone except the will to be

     Now the will see what will be, blinded eyes to see

    



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 good-bye



Trapped under the 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

     

     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

     



Escape

     Fell 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

     

               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

               I'm creeping death

     

     Now

     Let my people go, land of goshen

     Go

     I will be with thee, bush of fire

     Blood

     Running red and strong, down the nil

     Plague

     Darkness three days long, hail to fire

     

     Die by my hand

     I creep across the land

     Killing first born man

     Die by my hand

     I creep across the land

     Killing first born man

     I

     Rule the midnight air the destroyer

     Born

     I shall soon be there, deadly mass

     I

     Creep the steps and flood final darkness

     Blood

     Lambs blood painted door, I shall pass
