Ride the Lightning (Live at Rasputin Music, Berkeley, CA - Apr. 16th, 2016) Lyrics

Good God

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
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
Sing if you want
Burning in my brain
I can feel the flames, yeah-yeah

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?

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

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

Please follow me, let's make it loud
Are you ready?
Hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey

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

Hey-hey-hey

Time 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 be

Wakened by a horrid scream
Freed from this frightening dream

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