All lyrics (c)1983 Creeping Death Music ASCAP _______________________________________________________________________________ --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 -CHORUS- xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx --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 -CHORUS- xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx --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 -CHORUS- xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx --JUMP IN THE FIRE (4:50) (J. Hetfield, L. Ulrich, D.

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... xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx --SEEK AND DESTROY (6:50) (J.
