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 
chorus 
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 
chorus 
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!" 
chorus 
  
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? 
chorus 
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 
chorus 
  
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 
chorus 
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 
chorus 
  
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 
  
Woken up, I'm still locked in this shell 
Frozen soul, frozen down to the core 
Break the ice, I can't take anymore 
chorus 
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 
chorus 
Scream from my soul 
Fate, mystifiedHell, 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 
chorus 
  
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 chorus 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 
chorus 
  
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 
CHORUS 
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 
GOI WILL BE WITH THEE, BUSH OF FIRE 
BLOOD RUNNING RED AND STRONG, DOWN THE NIL 
PLAGUE DARKNESS THREE DAYS LONG, HAIL TO FIRE 
CHORUS 
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 
BLOODLAMBS BLOOD PAINTED DOOR, I SHALL PASS 
CHORUS 
  
THE CALL OF KTULU
