Songtexte 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

» Fight fire with fire
» Ending is near
» Fight fire with fire
» Bursting with fear

We all shall die

Time is like a fuse, short and burning fast
Armageddon is here, like said in the past

» Fight fire with fire
» Ending is near
» Fight fire with fire
» Bursting with fear

Soon to fill our lungs the hot winds of death
The gods are laughing, so take your last breath

» Fight fire with fire
» Ending is near
» Fight fire with fire
» Bursting with fear

» Fight fire with fire

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 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?

» 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 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

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

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 their 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

» 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 mistery
He hears the silence so loud
Crack of dawn, all is gone except the will to be
Now they see what will be, blinded eyes do see

» For whom the bell tolls
» Time marches on
» For whom the bell tolls

Fade to Black


Life it seems, will fade away
Drifting further everyday
Gettig 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 not what they used to be
Missing one inside of me
Deathly lost this can't be real
Can't stand this Hell I feel
Emptiness is filling 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's too late
Now I can think, think why I should even try

Yesterday seems as though it never existed
Death greets me warm, now I will just say goodbye

Trapped under Ice

I don't know how to live through this hell
Woken up, I'm still locked in his shell
Frozen soul, frozen down to the core
Break theice I can't live 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 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, mystified
Hell, forever more

No release from my cryonic state
Whatis 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


Feel 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

» Out for 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

» Out for 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

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

» 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
Go
I will be with thee, bush of fire
Blood
Running red and strong, down the nile
Plague
Darkness three days long, hail to fire

» 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

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 midnite air the destroyer
Born
I shall soon be there, deadly mass
I
Creep the steps and floor final darkness
Blood
Lambs blood painted door, I shall pass

» 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
