aynı isimli albümde yer alan müthiş metallica şarkısı.
sözleri şöyledir:

guilty as charged
but damn it, it ain't right
there's 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"
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?
flash before my eyes
now it's time to die
burning in my brain
i can feel the flames
someone help me
oh please, god, help me
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…

introsunu her çalışımda tüylerimi diken diken eden şarkı.
