Jump in the Fire is the fourth song on the thrash metal debut album, Kill Em All. The lyrics of Jump in the Fire are written from Satan’s point of view. It describes how the Devil watches the people who are killing each other, and so he is sure that they will all go to hell for their actions. They Jump in the Fire. The original lyrics, featured on the No Life ‘Til Leather demo, dealt with sexuality, and were written by Mustaine. It is known for its guitar outro at 3:46. The song was released as Metallica’s second single, accompanied by fake live performances of Phantom Lord and Seek and Destroy, which were alternate studio recordings with sounds of a crowd overdubbed in. In 1978, Artist Les Edwards created an oil painting titled Devil’s D-Day that was featured on this single, as the artwork of Jump in the Fire.

Down in the depths of my fiery home
The summons bell will chime
Tempting you and all the earth
to join our sinful kind
There is a job to be done and I’m the one
You people make me do it
Now it is time for your fate and I won’t hesitate
to pull you down into this pit

So come on
Jump in the Fire
So come on
Jump in the Fire

With hell in my eyes and with death in my veins
The end is closing in
Feeding on the minds of man
and from their souls within
My disciples all shout to search you out
And they always shall obey
Follow me now my child not the meek or the mild
But do just as I say

So come on
Jump in the Fire
So come on
Jump in the Fire

Jump by your will or be taken by force
I’ll get you either way
Trying to keep the hellfire lit
I am stalking you as prey
Living your life as me I am you you see
There is part of me in everyone
So reach down grab my hand walk with me through the land
Come home where you belong

So come on
Jump in the Fire
So come on
Jump in the Fire

So come on
Jump in the Fire
So come on
Jump in the Fire

C’mon jump baby now!”
