Fight Fire With Fire
(Hetfield, Ulrich, 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 (repeat)
Ride The Lightning
(Hetfield, Ulrich, Burton, Mustaine)
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 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 is 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 are trying to take it all away
I don't want to die
     
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
     
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
For Whom The Bell Tolls
(Hetfield, Ulrich, Burton)
Make his fight on the hill in the early day
Constant chill deep inside
Shouting gun, on they run through the endless grey
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 is the last time he 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
Fade To Black
(Hetfield, Ulrich, Burton, Hammett)
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 lost, 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
Trapped Under Ice
(Hetfield, Ulrich, 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, forever more
     
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
Escape
(Hetfield, Ulrich, 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 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 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 is for my own to live my own way
               
See them 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
                        (repeat)
Creeping Death
(Hetfield, Ulrich, Burton, 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 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
