Fight Fire With Fire
(Hetfield,Ulrich,Burton)



 Do unto others as they have done unto you 
 But what the hell is this world coming to? 

 Blow the universe into nothingness 
 Nuclear warfare shall lay us to rest 

	[Chorus:]
	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 

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

	[Chorus]
         
	Fight fire with fire

 

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!!" 

	[Chorus:]
	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 

 	[Chorus]

 My fingers grip with fear 
 What am I doing here? 

 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 this frightening dream 

	[Chorus]

 

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 the 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 

	[Chorus:]
	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 the will see what will be, blinded eyes to see 

	[Chorus]

 

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 are 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 to 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 

	[Chorus:]
	Freezing 
	Can't move at all 
	Screaming 
	Can't hear my call 
	I am dying to live 
	Cry out 
	I'm trapped under the 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 
 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 

	[Chorus]

 

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 

	[Chorus:]
	Out of 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 

	[Chorus]

 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
(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 

	[Chorus:]
	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 

	[Chorus]

 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 

 	[Chorus]

 

The Call Of Ktulu
(Hetfield,Ulrich,Burton,Mustaine) - Lead Bass By Cliff Burton.

[Instrumental]
