Hit the Lights

The explosive opener from *Kill ‘Em All*, 1983, setting the tone for Metallica’s thrash legacy.

No life till leather
We’re gonna kick some ass tonight

We got the metal madness
When our fans start screaming, it’s right

Chorus

Well alright
Hit the lights
Hit the lights
Hit the lights

When we start to rock
We never want to stop again

With our fists in the air
We’re giving all our might tonight

Heavy metal thunder
It’s ringing in your ears

Chorus

Hit the lights
Hit the lights
Hit the lights

We’re taking you to hell
We’re gonna get you, Satan get you

With the power amplifiers
We’re gonna blow the roof tonight

Chorus

Hit the lights
Hit the lights
Hit the lights
