• Track 7 of Metallica’s Ride the Lightning
• Written by James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Cliff Burton, & Kirk Hammett

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 firstborn 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 firstborn pharaoh son
I’m Creeping Death

Die by my hand
I creep across the land
Killing firstborn man
Die by my hand
I creep across the land
Killing firstborn man

I
Rule the midnight 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 firstborn pharaoh son
I’m Creeping Death

• Track 6 of Metallica’s Ride the Lightning
• Written by James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, & Kirk Hammett

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 this 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’s for my own to live my own way

Rape my mind, and destroy my feelings
Don’t tell me 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’s for my own to live my own way

See them try to bring the hammer down
No **** chains can hold me to the ground

Life’s for my own to live my own way
Life’s for my own to live my own way
Life’s for my own to live my own way

• Track 5 of Metallica’s Ride the Lightning
• Written by James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, & Kirk Hammett

I don’t know how to live through this Hell
Woken up, I’m still locked in this shell
Frozen soul, frozen down to the core
Break the ice, I can’t take anymore

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

Freezing
Can’t move at all
Screaming
Can’t hear my call
I am dying to live
Cry out
I’m trapped under ice

Scream from my soul
Fate, mystified
Hell, forevermore

Scream from my soul
Fate, mystified
Hell, forevermore

No release from my cryonic state
What is 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

Freezing
Can’t move at all
Screaming
Can’t hear my call
I am dying to live
Cry out
I’m trapped under ice

• Track 4 of Metallica’s Ride the Lightning
• Written by James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett, & Cliff Burton

Life, it seems, will fade away
Drifting further every day
Getting 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 loss, this can’t be real
Cannot 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’t think, think why I should even try

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

• Track 3 of Metallica’s Ride the Lightning
• Written by James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, & Cliff Burton

Make his fight on the hill in the early day
Constant chill deep inside
Shouting gun, on they run through the endless gray
On they fight, for they are right, yes, but who’s to say?
For a hill men would kill, why? They do not know
Suffered wounds test 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’s 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 mystery
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 to see

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

• Track 2 of Metallica’s Ride the Lightning
• Written by James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Cliff Burton, & Dave Mustaine

Guilty as charged
But ****, 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 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 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 flame

Someone help me
Oh, please, God, help me
They’re trying to take it all away
I don’t want to die

Time moving slow
The minutes feel 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

• Track 1 of Metallica’s Ride the Lightning
• Written by James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, & Cliff Burton

Do unto others as they have done to you
But what 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
Fight fire with fire
Fight fire with fire
Fight fire with fire
Fight fire with fire
Fight fire with fire
Fight

• Track 8 of Metallica’s Master of Puppets
• Written by James Hetfield, Cliff Burton, Kirk Hammett, & Lars Ulrich

Dealing out the agony within
Charging hard, and no one’s gonna give in
Living on you knees, conformity
Or dying on your feet for honesty
Inbred, our bodies work as one
Bloody, but never cry submission
Following our instinct, not a trend
Go against the grain until the end

Blood will follow blood
Dying time is here
Damage, Incorporated

Slamming through, don’t **** with razorback
Stepping out? You’ll feel our Hell on your back
Blood follow blood, and we make sure
Life ain’t for you, and we’re the cure
Honesty is my only excuse
Try to rob us of it, but it’s no use
Steamroller action crushing all
Victim is your name, and you shall fall

Blood will follow fall
Dying time is here
Damage, Incorporated

We chew and spit you out
We laugh, you scream and shout
All flee, with fear you run
You’ll know just where we come from

Damage, Incorporated

Go

Damage jackals ripping right through you
Sight and smell of this, it gets me goin’
Know just how to get just what we want
Tear it from your soul in nightly hunt
**** it all and **** no regrets
Never happy endings on these dark sets
All’s fair for Damage, Inc. you see
Step a little closer if you please

Blood will follow blood
Dying time is here
Damage, Incorporated
