Kendra Morris - Ride The Lightning Lyrics






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 pain

Wait for the sign
To switch the flick 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 pain

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 pain
The pain
The pain
The pain
The pain
The pain
The pain...

    Holy shit what a fucking disappointment👎

  2. K.... S....

    What are you five

  3. Z.... t....

    Ewww stop

  4. H.... B....

    I was sceptical until the chorus kicked in.

  5. D.... L....

    its not a cover its use of metallica lyrics here

  6. m.... h....

    eargasm 😍👍🏽

  7. C.... J....

    The lyrics don't match this type of music.

  8. S.... V....

    I'm a huge 80s era metallica fan, but a music lover in general. Holy fck this is amazing.

  9. S.... D....

    I kinda like it....fkn hot pic at end.

  10. R.... K....

    Is this the weird part of youtube?

  11. E.... A....

    I just played this for my ex who is a die-hard Metallica fan and he absolutely loved this cover! I love her brand of soul music, it's so heavy and well put together! ❤🎃❤🎃❤🎃

  12. A.... ....

    Fucking horrible

  13. J.... T....

    Nice groovy cover.

  14. A.... ....

    Great version.

  15. d.... ....

    what the hell is this mother fuckin shit?

    d.... ....

    dillyflap It's called a cover. It's Soul music. Don't hate so much, damn.

  16. R.... M....

    late night after party nightcap jam....

  17. P.... F....

    Sounds like a lost soul classic,but was written by Metallica...excellent cover..

  18. A.... V....

    what hell is this shit

    A.... V....

    took the words right out of my keyboard

    A.... V....

    Fucking great, is what it is. This is how you do a cover: rearrange a song you love to fit your own style and make it into something the same but different.

    Metallica did this with so many other songs -- don't shit on someone else paying homage to a Metallica song.

  19. J.... M....

    pretty nice cover!!

  20. p.... ....

    Always someone beating me to it ... damn. I like singing Metallica lounge music style, looks like I'm not the only one. :/  :)

  21. g.... ....

    Pretty groovy, man. It's always interesting to hear someone take a song and twist it up. :)

  22. H.... ....

    Music. It's awesome.

  23. R.... S....

    I think Metallica could learn something from this.This version will be remembered. Most of the work Metallica has done after the black album will not. No! I don´t want them to start playing soul music, but thinking new would be nice

    R.... S....

    You're a an idiot.

    R.... S....

    i think you'll find the criticism from most pre-Black Metallica fans is that the band did indeed 'think new' on the albums that followed Black, which is why most of those albums aren't very memorable to the 'original' fans.

    R.... S....

    @Andrew Hendry lol I was thinking the same thing after reading the original post. :)

  24. P.... ....

    Haha, funny I love this song because it is so full of adrenaline, but I rather enjoyed this version. While Metallica's version is much more raw, this reveals a sadder level (yeah probably thinking too much into it haha)

  25. Y.... E....

    flash before my eyes..... now it's time to die ..... Lovely !

    All I wanted for Halloween this year was a bag of tricks

  27. T.... ....

    this honestly should be the next Bond film song.

    T.... ....

    It sounds like one. If not this song she could do a great job with one. The guy who plays guitar puts these songs together with that 60 70 funky but classy retro groove. He would nail it.

  28. N.... ....

    Love her voice!

  29. B.... P....

    holy future mother of my children batman!

  30. D.... ....

    Excellent.

  31. R.... T....

    What a great interpretation.

  32. E.... C....

    Very Cool!!! Great Job!!!!!

  33. t.... ....

    This is interesting...

  34. C.... K....

    Haha. This is sick!

  35. N.... K....

    this song is not ment to be fast dont like it.

  36. d.... ....

    No, but seriously...

  37. D.... ....

    Your musics hot but i mean don't mix genres! You just can't do that! Metallica version will always be the best lol no one can top that! But hey nice try i was really feeling it!

  38. P.... A....

    Your comment cracked me up :P Thanks for that.

  39. C.... ....

    She made a shit song good. YOU ROCK

  40. C.... ....

    So true... she is a sourse of songs destruction

  41. t.... ....

    being awake makes me want to smoke one,lol

  42. D.... M....

    id tap dat

  43. D.... M....

    *Death metal

  44. D.... L....

    This song was not made for this!!!!!!!!!!!!

  45. O.... E....

    this is so fucking garage that everyone on this planet will die and burn up and then freez on the freezing moon. And then everyone will be transformed til a living turd that loves SWEDISHEXTREMGOTHENBURG DEATMETAL.

  46. S.... O....

    What the???????

    Fucking AWESOME! Sort of like hearing Johnny Cash sing Hurt!

  47. M.... T....

    I love this tune from Metallica, you rocked this to a unique tune. You sound fuckin awesome. FYI: This makes me want to smoke joint, which I will do, thanx.

  48. N.... ....

    Like an elevator version haha

  49. M.... ....

    The lyrics of Hetfield.... not only is he the riff master but you have to agree, a true poet.

  50. B.... P....

    I think she could take any song and make it sound soulfully good :)

  51. J.... L....

    Makes me smile when you recognize someone with some actual friggin talent and not some autotune bubblegum manufactured corporate hoe....

  52. F.... C....

    How about Death Magnetic and by the way wait to see the next albul and then say something...Metallica is still going strong!!!

  53. C.... J....

    Metallica could NOT sound worse, as most metal heads have brain damage.
    Have u been to the Doc lately? Maybe YOU have cancer!

  54. C.... J....

    If that makes you feel like a better person.....then do it yourself! I don't think anyone would consider fng u! You are a bitter person.

  55. C.... J....

    BTW....Metallica had to start from the bottom....no? Maybe I am wrong.....did I miss the headlines that they were an overnight sensation? A bit before my time but I am not an alien!

  56. C.... J....

    for all you people out there, who has NO, talent........pick up any instrument and WOW the people who appreciate talented singers and writers. Call me what ever u want, if it makes you feel like a 'person'!!? Won't hurt me one bit. People who put down others, are so insecure and I guess you know what that must make you feel. Do you have enough credits of your own to make your feel better than ones with TALENT! I feel sad for u. .

  57. T.... C....

    chill dude

  58. s.... ....

    POlybun dErP!

  59. T.... ....

    Weird. I don't love it, I don't hate it. I like it when non-metal songs are made metal, not the other way around. But then again, who gives a shit what I think.

  60. S.... U....

    Metallica's better but this is Okay I guess... since it's Metallica.

  61. R.... S....

    There are plenty of soul, R&B, and blues songs about death. It's not just something metalheads have in their arsenal.

  62. R.... S....

    15-year-olds have such angst.

  63. R.... S....

    Metallica needs no help.

  64. R.... S....

    Congrats on being an utter fool who knows nothing. Please go back to your Metallica bootleg cassettes and leave the rest of the world alone.

  65. D.... B....

    That may be so, however, the lyrical themes of this song do not fit in with this type of music.

  66. D.... B....

    @cookie5455

  67. c.... ....

    this is miles better than that cover.

  68. c.... ....

    You are aware they had a brass soul band play at their anniversary, right?

  69. J.... H....

    Can't stop listening to this, amazing.

  70. t.... ....

    metallica ended a long time ago......the black album was the last album.
    this is a nice take on covering a great band and classic era spanning a decade.

    any haters are either to young or too old to get it.

  71. D.... B....

    What a load of shit, people need to stop ruining Metallica songs (cough) Pendulum.

  72. r.... ....

    dope from the very first lyric

  73. y.... ....

    What is this shit??!

  74. d.... ....

    This is not exceptional by any definition of the word

  75. L.... E....

    GTFO from Metal !

  76. L.... E....

    IT SUCK !!!

  77. P.... N....

    I never thought this song could be interpretted like this. Gives the lyrics a whole other light.

  78. t.... j....

    WHAT IN THE FUCK HAS SHE DONE TO RIDE ITS RUINED

  79. D.... ....

    ....holy fuck on a stick, this is mind blowingly good. it took the song into a direction thought impossible.

  80. N.... ....

    And she is not more famous than them bitches on MTV, because?

  81. a.... ....

    this cover is really good. also shes sexy as hell

  82. m.... ....

    See! We get so caught up in Metal sucks or Hip Hop sucks or whatever, but when you really get down to it music is from the soul and all our sould same size. We just express the feeling in them in a little diffrent way. We just need to always keep in mind it's coming from the same place.

    If she would have just gone around saying Metallica sucks and never gave their music the time of day, she would have never captured the soul of this song in the way she did. Great cover.

  83. K.... ....

    Actually love it...cold chills

  84. C.... O....

    thats what a cover is?

  85. O.... ....

    this actually isnt half bad, its a hell of a lot better than justin bieber covering revolution is my name

  86. S.... C....

    its not really a cover its just the use of the original lyrics

  87. f.... ....

    I find the opinion of anyone that find Annoying Orange funny hard to take seriously.

  88. L.... E....

    Facepalm

  89. M.... L....

    I agree

  90. s.... ....

    Awful. Just awful.

  91. B.... P....

    Good main voice, but the music and background singing is even better, atmospheric and eerie, I'm not sure if it really goes together...there's not much Metallica in it though, just the lyrics...As I said, the soul voice is OK, but a more classical/traditional one would fit the song much better...

  92. J.... ....

    love it. very very good. great way to tell the story. And it shows once more what an awesome lyric writer James is. i have never heard the lyrics this way before, i missed a lot subtile things in the magnificent original.

  93. R.... R....

    All the other Soul singers want their originality back...

  94. Z.... ....

    It' a nice cover. I like this morbid atmosphere that sounds an old and real ghost story. :) The main theme is very simular with the James Bond main theme. Insanity. :)
