Ride the Lightning (Live at Kabuki Theatre, San Francisco, CA – Mar. 15th, 1985) Lyrics

Guilty as charged, my dammed intellect
Is someone else controlling me?
Death in the air, trapped in living danger
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 flame, yeah

The blinds are falling, sign, my fate the suit of death
The beginning of the end
Frigid and cold, someone's deathly cold
Consciousness, my only friend

My 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 flame

Someone help me, oh, please, God, help me
They're trying to take it all away
I don't want to die

Someone help me, oh, please, God, help me
They're trying to take it all away
I don't want to die

Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy
Come on, let's see your fuckin' hands
Ayy
Ha-ha

Time moving slow, minutes seem like hours
Final curtain call, I see
I'm too weak to resist, just take it all away
This is true, just let it be

Awakened by a horrid scream
Wakened from this frightening dream

Flash before my eyes
Now it's time to die
Burning in my brain
I can feel the flame, yeah

Ha-ha
