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
|
|
|
|

--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
|
|
|
|

--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
|
|
|
|

--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!)

--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'...)

--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

--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...

(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

On our way

You will pay

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

|
(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
|
|
