Kill/Ride MedleyMetallica

Released: July 13, 1996

Songwriter: Dave Mustaine Cliff Burton Lars Ulrich James Hetfield

["Ride the Lightning"]
Guilty as charged
But damn 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
Ill take your life from you!

Flash before my eyes
Now its time to die
Burning in my brain
I can feel the flames

["No Remorse"]
No mercy for what we are doing
No thought to even what we have done
We dont need to feel the sorrow
No remorse for the helpless one

War without end
No remorse No repent
We dont give a shit what it meant
Another day Another death
Another sorrow Another breath
No remorse No repent
We dont give a shit what it meant
Another day Another death
Another sorrow Another breath

["Hit the Lights"]
No life till leather
We are gonna kick some ass tonight
We got the metal madness
When our fans start screaming
Its right well all right
When we start to rock
We never want to stop again

Hit the lights
Hit the lights
Hit the lights

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

Hit the lights
Hit the lights
Hit the lights
["The Four Horsemen"]
Time
Has taken its toll on you
The lines that crack you face
Famine
Your body it has torn through
Withered in every place
Pestilence
For what you have had to endure
And what you have put others through
Death
Deliverance for you for sure
There is nothing you can do
["Phantom Lord"]
Sound is ripping through your ears
The deafening waiting for his whips
Your bodies waiting for his whips
The taste of leather on you lips

Hear the cry of War
Louder than before
With this 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
Your hear them crying death pains
The fists of terrors breaking through
Now theres nothing you can do

Hear the cry of War
Louder than before
With this sword in hand
To control the land
Crushing metal strikes
On this frightening night
Fall onto your knees
For the Phantom Lord
["Fight Fire with Fire"]
Soon to fill our lungs the hot winds of death
The gods are laughing, so take your last breath

Fight fire with fire
Ending is near
Fight fire with fire
Bursting with fear
Fight fire with fire (repeat)

Metallica

Like Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden before, Metallica has managed to transcend the genre from which it was originated. To their metal fanbase they are considered one of the Big Four bands of thrash metal, alongside Megadeth, Anthrax and Slayer; however Metallica is also one of the most commercially successful bands in all of rock music, having sold 110 million records including the 16x platinum Metallica, which stands as both the highest selling metal album of all time and most successful album of the past 25 years.

Metallica was formed in 1981 in Los Angeles after drummer Lars Ulrich placed an advert in the classifieds newspaper The Recycler, which was answered by singer/rhythm guitarist James Hetfield. They were soon joined by lead guitarist Dave Mustaine, who later formed Megadeth after being kicked out of the band because of his substance and alchohol abuse, and bassist Ron McGovney, a childhood friend of Hetfield. These two early members were replaced with Cliff Burton (who relocated the band to San Francisco) and ex-Exodus lead guitarist, Kirk Hammett to form the band’s classic line-up.

The band released three albums, 1983’s Kill ‘Em All, 1984’s Ride The Lightning and 1986’s Master of Puppets before the tragic and untimely death of Cliff Burton on September 27th, 1986.
