Metallica
Ride The Lghtning (Live - Phoenix 09.09.23)
[Intro]
Good God!
[Verse 1] [James Hetfield]
Guilty as charged, but damn, it ain't right
There's someone else controlling me
Death in the air, strapped in the electric chair
Can't be happening to me
[Pre-Chorus] [James Hetfield]
Who made you God to say
"I'll take your life from you?"
[Chorus] [James Hetfield & Crowd]
Flash before my eyes
Now it's time to die... Oh
Help me sing it
Burning in my brain
I can feel the flame
Yeah yeah yeah
[Verse 2] [James Hetfield]
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
Consciousnеss, my only friend
[Pre-Chorus] [James Hetfield]
My fingers grip with fear
What am I doing hеre?
[Chorus] [James Hetfield & Crowd]
Flash before my eyes
Now it's time to die, die, die, oh
Burning in my brain
Oh, I can feel the flame
Yeah yeah yeah
Riff!
[Bridge] [James Hetfield]
Someone help me
Oh please, God, help me!
They're trying to take it all away
I don't want to die...
Phoenix, I hope you're alive out there
Follow me now
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
[Crowd takes over the hey's]
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge] [James Hetfield]
Someone help me
Oh please, God, help me!
They're trying to take it all away
I don't want to die
Hey! Hey! Hey!
[Crow takes over the hey's]
[Verse 3] [James Hetfield]
Time 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!
[Pre-Chorus] [James Hetfield]
Wakened by a horrid scream
Freed from this frightening dream
[Chorus] [James Hetfield]
Flash before my eyes
Now it's time to die, oh
Burning in my brain
I can feel the flame
Yeah yeah yeah
[Outro]
Ooh yeah...
Oh Phoenix
It's beautiful to see you
Thank you so much
For your support
Thanks for coming back for another day
[?]
You know, we hate putting on a show that ain't 110%
So, thank you for coming back
Thank you for the love
And showing the support
You know, we ain't take this stuff for granted
But, man
When we can't perform, we're pretty hard on ourselves
We'll tell you that
So, enough beating off on ourselves
I will ask, for some help 'singin tonight
I'm still healing
I know you brought your voices with you
Am I right?!
All right
