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 flame

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 is my only friend

My finger 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

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

Time is 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 horrid scream,
Freed from this frightening dream

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

Ride the Lightning
