RIDE THE LIGHTNING 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 they fight, for they are right, yes, but who's to say? For a hill men that would kill, why? They do not know Suffered wounds test their pride Men of five, still alive through the raging glow Gone insane for the pain that they surely know For whom the ball tolls Time marches on For whom the bell tolls Take a look to the sky just before you die It's 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 his 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 ball tolls Time marches on For whom the bell tolls

...AND JUSTICE FOR ALL ONE --------------- I can't rememer anything, Can't tell if this is true or dream, Deep down inside I feel to scream, This terible silence stops me. Now that the war is through with me, I'm walking up, I cannot see, That there's not much left of me, Nothing is real but pain now. Hold my breath as I wish for death, Oh please God, wake me. Back in the womb it's much too real, In pumps life that I must feel, But I can't look forward to reveal, Look to the time when I lived. Fed through the tube that sticks in me, Just like a wartime novelty, Tied to machines that make me be, Cut this life off from me. Hold my breath as I wish for death, Oh please God, wake me. Now the world is gone I'm just one, Oh God, Help me Hold my breath as I wish for death, Oh please God, wake me. Darkness Imprisoning me All that I see Absolute horror I cannot live I cannot die Trapped in myself Body my holding cell Landmine Has taken my sight Taken my speech Taken my hearing Taken my arms Taken my legs Taken my soul Left me with life in hell
