ride the lightning

To be executed by electrocution. Most commonly, the electric chair.

"Ole' boy's gonna ride the lighting for killing that man."

And you, Elaine. You'd die, too, and my curse is knowing I'll be there to see it. That's my punishment, you see? My punishment for letting John Coffey ride the lightning. For killing a miracle of God.

Ride the Lightning

Awesome album by Metallica. Features great songs like Creeping Death, For Whom the Bell Tolls, the title track, and more. Awesome stuff from Metallica with more goodness to follow...also the name of some stupid indie rock's album that no one cares about that they used to get attention just because they're a bunch of thieving whores.

Ride the Lightning is a terrific album.
