Hey hey...now there's lyric files for the first three 'tallica LP's...

  Ride the Lightning by The AntichrisT, and Master of Puppets by me.



Thanks to Elektra for finally re-releasing it w/lyrics this time around, and 

the d00de for letting me borrow it.  A lot of it's been edited go be actually 

what Hetfield's gurgling, instead of just straight from the sheet.

--HIT THE LIGHTS  (4:17)

  (J. Hetfield, L. Ulrich)



No life 'till leather

We are gonna kick some ass tonight

We got the metal madness

When our fans start screaming it's right, well alright

When we start to rock

We never want to stop again



-CHORUS-

 Hit the lights  (x3)



You know our fans are insane

We are gonna blow this place away

With volume higher

Than anything today the only way

When we start to rock

We never want to stop again



-CHORUS-



With all out screaming

We are gonna rip right through your brain

We got the lethal power

It's causing you sweet pain, oh sweet pain

When we start to rock

We never want to stop again



-CHORUS-



xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx



--THE FOUR HORSEMEN  (7:08)

  (J. Hetfield, L. Ulrich, D. Mustaine)



By the last breath of the fourth winds blow

Better raise your ears

The sound of hooves knock at your door

Lock up your wife and children now

It's time to wield the blade

For now you've got some company...



-CHORUS-

The Horsemen are drawing nearer

On the leather steeds they ride

They've come to take your life

On through the dead of night

With the Four Horsemen ride

Or choose your fate and die



You have been dying since the day you were born

You know it's all been planned

The quartet of deliverence rides

A sinner once a sinner twice

No need for confession now

Cause now you've got the fight of your life



-CHORUS-



Time

Has taken its toll on you

The lines that crack your face

Famine

Your body, it has torn through

Withered in every place

Pestilence

For what you've had to endure

And what you have put others through

Death

Deliverance, for you for sure

Now there's nothing you can do...



So gather round young warriors now

And saddle up your steeds

Killing scores with demon swords

Now is the death of doers of wrong

Swing the judgement hammer down

Safely inside armor blood guts and sweat



-CHORUS-



xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx



--MOTORBREATH  (3:03)

  (J. Hetfield)



Living and dying, laughing and crying

Once you have seen it you'll never be the same

Life in the fast line is just how it seems

It's hard and it's heavy, it's dirty and mean



-CHORUS-

Motorbreath

It's how I live my life

I can't take it any other way

Motorbreath

The sign of living fast

It's going to take

Your breath away  (or: It can control you, take your breath away -SR)



Don't stop for nothing, it's full or speed or nothing

I'm taking down you know whatever's in my way

Getting your kicks as you're shooting the line

Sending the shivers up and down your spine



-CHORUS-



Those people who tell you not to take chances

They are all missing on what life's about

You only live once, so take hold of the chance

Don't end up like others, same song and dance



-CHORUS-



xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx



--JUMP IN THE FIRE  (4:50)

  (J. Hetfield, L. Ulrich, D. Mustaine)



Down in the depths of my fiery home

The summons bell will chime

Tempting you and all the earth

To join our sinful kind

There is a job to be done and I'm the one

You people make me do it

Now it's time for your fate and I won't hesitate

To pull you down into this pit



-CHORUS-

So come on

Jump in the fire

So come on

Jump in the fire



With hell in my eyes and with death in my veins

The end is closing in

Feeding on the minds of man

And from their souls within

My disciples all shout, to search you out

And they always shall obey

Follow me now my child, not the meek or the mild

But do just as I say



-CHORUS-



Jump by your will or be taken by force

I'll get you either way

Trying to keep the hellfire lit

I am stalking you as prey

Living your life as me I am you, you see

There is part of me in everyone

So reach down grab my hand, walk with me through the land

Come home where you belong



-CHORUS-



(Come on, help me go!) 



xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx



--WHIPLASH  (4:06)

  (J. Hetfield, L. Ulrich)



Late at night, all systems go

You've come to see the show

We do our best, you're the rest

You make it real you know

There's a feeling deep inside

That drives you fuckin' mad

A feeling of a hammerhead

You need it oh so bad



-CHORUS-

Adrenalin starts to flow

You're thrashing all around

Acting like a maniac

...Whiplash!



Bang you head against the stage

Like you never did before

Make it ring, make it bleed

Make it really sore

In a frenzied madness

With your leathers and your spikes

Heads are bobbing all around

It's hot as hell tonight



-CHORUS-



Here on stage the Marshall noise

Is piercing through your ears

It kicks your ass, kicks your face

Exploding feeling nears

Now's the time to let it rip

To let it fuckin' loose

We're gathered here to maim and kill

Cause this is what we choose



-CHORUS-



(Here we go!)...gtr solo...(Whiplash!)...more solo



The show is through, the metal's gone

It's time to hit the road

Another town, another gig

Again we will explode

Hotel rooms and motorways

Life out here is raw

We'll never stop, we'll never quit

Cause we're Metallica...



-CHORUS-



('go home' or 'all done' or 'arrghaiie'...)



xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx



--PHANTOM LORD  (4:52)

  (J. Hetfield, L. Ulrich, D. Mustaine)



Sound is ripping through your ears

The deafening sound of metal nears

Your bodies waiting for his whips

The taste of leather on your lips



-CHORUS-

Hear the cry of war

Louder than before

With his sword in hand

To control the land

Crushing metal strikes

On this frightening night

Fall onto your knees

For the Phantom Lord



Victims falling under chains

You hear them crying dying pains

The fist of terrors breaking through

Now there's nothing you can do



-CHORUS-



The leathered armies have prevailed

The Phantom Lord has never failed

Smoke is lifting from the ground

The rising volume metal sound



-CHORUS-



Fall to your knees

And bow to the Phantom Lord



xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx



--NO REMORSE  (6:24)

  (J. Hetfield, L. Ulrich)



No mercy for what we're doing

No thought to even what we have done

We don't need to feel the sorrow

No remorse for the helpless one



-CHORUS-

War without end

No remorse, no repent

We don't care what it meant

Another day, another death

Another sorrow, another breath

No remorse, no repent

We don't care what it meant

Another day, another death

Another sorrow, another breath



Blood feeds the war machine

As it eats its way across the land

We don't need to feel the sorrow

No remorse is the one command



-CHORUS-



Only the strong survive

No will to save the weaker race

We are ready to kill all comers

Like a loaded gun right at your face



-CHORUS-



Attack!



Bullets are flying

People are dying

With madness surrounding, all hell's breaking loose

Soldiers are hounding

Bodies are mounting

Cannons are shouting to take their abuse

With war machines going

Blood starts to flowing

No mercy given to anyone hear

The furious fighting

Swords are like lightning

It all becomes frightening, you know death is near



No remorse...



xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx



--SEEK AND DESTROY  (6:50)

  (J. Hetfield, L. Ulrich)



(Alright)



We are scanning the scene

In the city tonite

Looking for you

To start up a fight

There's an evil feeling in our brains

But it's nothing new

You know it drives us insane



-CHORUS-

Running

On our way

Hiding

You will pay

Dying

One thousand deaths

Running

On our way

Hiding

You will pay

Dying

One thousand deaths

Searching...

Seek and destroy (x4)



There is no escape

And that's for sure

This is the end, we won't take any more

Say goodbye to the world you live in

You've always been taking, but now you're giving



-CHORUS-



Our brains are on fire

With the feeling to kill

And it won't go away

Until our dreams are fulfilled

There is only one thing on our minds

Don't try running away

Cause you're the one we will find



-CHORUS-



xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx



--METAL MILITIA  (6:06)

  (J. Hetfield, L. Ulrich, D. Mustaine)



Thunder and lightning, the gods take revenge

Senseless destruction

Victims of fury are cowardly now

Running for safety

Stabbing the harlot to pay for her sins

Leaving the virgin

Suicide running as if it were free

Ripping and tearing



-CHORUS-

Oh, through the mist and the madness

We're trying to get the message to you

Metal Militia (x3)



Chained and shadowed to be left behind

Nine and one thousand

Metal militia for your sacrifice

Iron clad soldiers

Join or be conquered, the law of the land

What will befall you

The metalization of your inner soul

Twisting and turning



-CHORUS-



We are as one as we all are the same

Fighting for one cause

Leather and metal are our uniforms

Protecting what we are

Joining together to take on the world

With our heavy metal

Spreading the message to everyone here

Come let yourself go



-CHORUS-
