The Call Of Ktulu
Fight Fire With Fire
 
  • (Hetfield / Ulrich / Burton)
  • Do unto others as they have done unto you
  • But what in the hell is this world coming to?
  • Blow the universe into nothingness
  • Nuclear warfare shall lay us to rest
  • [Chorus:]
  • Fight fire with fire
  • Ending is near
  • Fight fire with fire
  • Bursting with fear
  • We shall die
  • Time is like a fuse, short and burning fast
  • Armageddon is here, like said in the past
  • chorus:
  • Soon to fill our lungs the hot winds of death
  • The gods are laughing, so take your last breath
  • [Chorus]
Ride The Lightning
 
  • 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!"
  • [chorus:]
  • Flash before my eyes
  • Now it's time to die
  • Burning in my brain
  • I can feel the flames
  • Wait for the sign
  • To flick the switch of death
  • It's the beginning of the end
  • Sweat, chilling cold
  • As I watch death unfold
  • Consciousness my only friend
  • My fingers grip with fear
  • What I am doing here?
  • [chorus:]
  • Someone help me
  • Oh please God help me
  • They are trying to take it all away
  • I don't want to die
  • Time moving slowly
  • 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 the horrid cream
  • Freed from the frightening dream
  • [chorus:]
For Whom The Bell Tolls
 
  • Make his fight on the hill in the early day
  • Constant chill deep inside
  • Shouting gun, on they run through the endless grey
  • On the fight, for they are right, yes, by who's to say?
  • For a hill men would kill, why? They do not know
  • Suffered wounds test there their pride
  • Men of five, still alive through the raging glow
  • Gone insane from the pain that they surely know
  • For whom the bell tolls
  • Time marches on
  • For whom the bell tolls
  • Take a look to the sky just before you die
  • It is the last time you will
  • Blackened roar massive roar fills the crumbling sky
  • Shattered goal fills his soul with a ruthless cry
  • Stranger now, are his eyes, to this mystery
  • He hears the silence so loud
  • Crack of dawn, all is gone except the will to be
  • Now the will see what will be, blinded eyes to see
  • For whom the bell tolls
  • Time marches on
  • For whom the bell tolls
Fade To Black
 
  • Life it seems, will fade away
  • Drifting further every day
  • Getting lost within myself
  • Nothing matters no one else
  • I have lost the will to live
  • Simply nothing more to give
  • There is nothing more for me
  • Need the end to set me free
  • Things are not what they used to be
  • Missing one inside of me
  • Deathly lost, this can't be real
  • Cannot stand this hell I feel
  • Emptiness is filing me
  • To the point of agony
  • Growing darkness taking dawn
  • I was me, but now He's gone
  • No one but me can save myself, but it to late
  • Now I can't think, think why I should even try
  • Yesterday seems as though it never existed
  • Death Greets me warm, now I will just say good-bye
Trapped Under Ice
 
  • I don't know how to live trough this hell
  • Woken up, I'm still locked in this shell
  • Frozen soul, frozen down to the core
  • Break the ice, I can't take anymore
  • Freezing
  • Can't move at all
  • Screaming
  • Can't hear my call
  • I am dying to live
  • Cry out
  • I'm trapped under the ice
  • Crystallized, as I lay here and rest
  • Eyes of glass stare directly at death
  • From deep sleep I have broken away
  • No one knows, no one hears what I say
  • Freezing
  • Can't move at all
  • Screaming
  • Can't hear my call
  • I am dying to live
  • Cry out
  • I'm trapped under the ice
  • Scream from my soul
  • Fate, mystified
  • Hell, forever more
  • No release from my cryonic state
  • What is this? I've been stricken by fate
  • Wrapped up tight, cannot move, can't break free
  • Hand of doom has a tight grip on me
  • Freezing
  • Can't move at all
  • Screaming
  • Can't hear my call
  • I am dying to live
  • Cry out
  • I'm trapped under the ice
Escape
 
  • Fell no pain, but my life ain't easy
  • I know I'm my best friend
  • No one cares, but I'm so much stronger
  • I'll fight until the end
  • To escape from the true false world
  • Undamaged destiny
  • Can't get caught in the endless circle
  • Ring of stupidity
  • Out of my own, out to be free
  • One with my mind, they just can't see
  • No need to hear things that they say
  • Life is for my own to live my own way
  • Rape my mind and destroy my feelings
  • Don't tell my what to do
  • I don't care now, 'cause I'm on my side
  • And I can see through you
  • Feed my brain with your so called standards
  • Who says that I ain't right
  • Break away from your common fashion
  • See through your blurry sight
  • Out of my own, out to be free
  • One with my mind, they just can't see
  • No need to hear things that they say
  • Life is for my own to live my own way
  • See they try to bring the hammer down
  • No damn chains can hold me to the ground
  • Life is for my own to live my own way
Creeping Death
 
  • Slaves
  • Hebrews born to serve, to the pharaoh
  • Heed
  • To his every word, live in fear
  • Faith
  • Of the unknown one, the deliverer
  • Wait
  • Something must be done, four hundred years
  • So let it be written
  • So let it be done
  • I'm sent here by the chosen one
  • So let it be written
  • So let it be done
  • To kill the first born pharaoh son
  • I'm creeping death
  • Now
  • Let my people go, land of goshen
  • Go
  • I will be with thee, bush of fire
  • Blood
  • Running red and strong, down the nil
  • Plague
  • Darkness three days long, hail to fire
  • So let it be written
  • So let it be done
  • I'm sent here by the chosen one
  • So let it be written
  • So let it be done
  • To kill the first born pharaoh son
  • I'm creeping death
  • Die by my hand
  • I creep across the land
  • Killing first born man
  • Die by my hand
  • I creep across the land
  • Killing first born man
  • I
  • Rule the midnight air the destroyer
  • Born
  • I shall soon be there, deadly mass
  • I
  • Creep the steps and flood final darkness
  • Blood
  • Lambs blood painted door, I shall pass
  • So let it be written
  • So let it be done
  • I'm sent here by the chosen one
  • So let it be written
  • So let it be done
  • To kill the first born pharaoh son
  • I'm creeping death
