Ride The Lightning (Live At The Keystone, Palo Alto, Ca – October 31St, 1983)

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
This can't be happening to me

Who made you God to say?
I'll take my life from me

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 am I doing here?

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

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 are trying to take it all away
I don't want to die

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
This can't be happening to me

Who made you God to say?
I'll take my life from me

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