Ride The Lightning Lyrics
But damn it, it ain't right
There is someone else controlling me
Strapped in the electric chair
This can't be happening to me
"I'll take your life from you!"
Now it's time to die
Burning in my brain
I can feel the flame
To flick the switch of death
It's the beginning of the end
As I watch death unfold
Consciousness my only friend
What I am doing here?
Now it's time to die
Burning in my brain
I can feel the flame
They are trying to take it all away
I don't want to die…
Someone help me, oh please God help me
They are trying to take it all away
I don't want to die…
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
Freed from this frightening dream
now it's time to die
Burning in my brain
I can feel the flame
the song is self explanatory, its about a man who is being killed for a crime he did not commit
Actually, from the first line you know that he is "guilty as charged"

It is important wheater the guy did or did not commit the crime. The man is going to die for commiting a crime he didn't commit. Hetfield said that he believes in capital punishment, and the song is more about the idea of being strapped to the electric chair even though you didn't commit the crime, and it is about, like others on the album "Ride the Lighting," are about not being able to escape a situation.
GREATEST METALLICA SONG EVER!!! Nothing more is needed, forget your ...And Justice For Alls and Master of Puppets, this title song is the song to end all! The second guitar solo is phenominal. Saw a tribute band of them last week, this was their second song! outstanding!

This is about the electric chair execution and how it's wrong. After all, "who made you God to say 'I'll take your life from you!'?".
oh yeah, Mustaine is bad ass too!! Megadeth rocks!!!!
That guitar solo - you can feel the electricity.
This one is all too easy to figure out. "The death penality is wrong".
Anti-capital-punishment song
Nope, he committed the crime.
"Guilty as charged But damn it, it ain't right There is someone else controlling me"
not necessarily the term "guilty as charged" is said by the judge after the jury finds you guilty. so basically the charges were something like murder and the jury found him guilty so he is guilty as charged but it doesn't mean he did it like some wrongful convictions.

"But damn it, it ain't right" only makes sense if he is conceding he did it. I think.

dude yes he is, The guy really did committ the crime because he's admitting he's "gulity as charged" but he still don't think he should die for it, if you can't see that your stupid
