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 scream
Freed from the frightening dream 

chorus:
