fight fire with fire
ride the lightning
for whom the bell tolls
fade to black
trapped under ice
escape
creeping death
the call of ktulu

metallica nin en iyi albumu.

aynı isimli albümdeki metallica parçası...elektrikli sandalyede idamı bekleyen bir mahkumun düşüncelerini yansıtır...sözleri aslında biraz ürkütücü ((bkz: teyze benden günah gitti uyardım çocuğu)) ve idam karşıtı tavırdadır:

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 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
consiousness 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 all 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

metallicanın metallica olduğu zamanlarda çıkardığı sağlam albüm.

gelmiş geçmiş en şahane üç tane metal albümü sayın deseler o ilk üçün değişmez elemanı olacaktır kendisi. o derece.
