[Intro] [Sound of heavy iron doors slamming] [Fast, galloping metal guitar riff, harmonized] [Vocals soaring and theatrical, like Bruce Dickinson] [Verse 1] Walking down the green mile, shackles on my feet The warden wiping sweat in the suffocating heat Midnight on October, the witching hour calls Echoes of my laughter bouncing off the concrete walls They strap me in the oak chair, tightening the belt The priest is holding leather that he shouldn't have to melt They think they’re serving justice with a copper-plated crown But they’re just pulling triggers to bring the heavens down. [Chorus] [Massive arena metal, soaring high-octane energy] Throw the heavy switch, let the current flow! I’m waiting for the voltage, waiting for the glow! You think you’re sending sinners to the fire deep inside! But I am waking up, fully electrified! Electrified! [Verse 2] [Galloping bassline, rapid-fire kick drums] The governor on the telephone, denying the reprieve I spit onto the sponge they're attaching to my sleeve The executioner is trembling, hand upon the wheel Waiting for the signal to deliver what is real A thousand heavy volts, racing through the wire Looking for a vessel to ignite the sacred fire They pull the heavy lever, the lights begin to dim They think it is the ending, a punishment so grim. [Chorus] [Epic metal harmonies, thunderous drums] Throw the heavy switch, let the current flow! I’m waiting for the voltage, waiting for the glow! You think you’re sending sinners to the fire deep inside! But I am waking up, fully electrified! Electrified! [Bridge] [Music slows, heavy, doom-metal chords] [Screaming guitar feedback simulating electricity] The current hits my chest, but my heart refuses to stop. The blood inside my arteries begins to heat and pop. The ancient dormant demon, sleeping in my veins Is drinking up the lightning and breaking off the chains! [Verse 3 - The Twist] [Blistering fast guitar solo, chaotic double-bass drums] [Vocals shift to a demonic, distorted roar] My eyes are shining white! The leather straps are burned! The tables in the chamber have violently turned! I stand up from the chair, a living lightning bolt! Feeding on the panic of a ten-thousand volt! I’m melting down the iron, burning through the glass! Reducing this penitentiary to smoking, ruined ash! [Outro] [Epic, chaotic metal crescendo] I am the storm! I am the wire! A walking, breathing, elemental fire! Electrified! [Sound of a massive electrical explosion] [Guitars fade into static hum] [End]
