No Picture bootsy's Average	#1 by bootsy's lovechili at Jun 24, 1973 at 9:00 AM EST
	Get in a fast car (I would elaborate but just use your imagination), find a deserted, winding, descending road, get press play, and GO!

No Picture mark Badass	#2 by mark at Dec 1, 1978 at 9:28 AM EST
	Cavalry bugles? What motherfucking cavalry bugles? Mustaine said this was a religous song? When? Just after he wrote it or after he was "born again"? It's an instumental, and Metallica showed us that an Instrumental can have meaning too (Call of Ktulu) to me this song into the lungs of hell just is a way of introducing the album, kinda saying welcome to hell. There probably is more to it than this but I'm not satisifed with any of your sugestons so far... Go ahead proove me wrong...

No Picture fasterdisco Average	#3 by fasterdisco at Mar 9, 1979 at 12:22 AM EST
	it is a religious song. it symbolizes the angels descent into hell. that is what mustaine says

No Picture Andrew Wanna Be	#4 by Andrew Tedder at Nov 7, 1981 at 12:41 PM EST
	the solos, those beautiful solos and yes, it's like angles marching down to hell for a battle is it me or does the third theme/riff sound as if the guitars are screaming "into the lungs of hell"? the phrasing in the guitars matches the phonetics of the title but those solos they come in and out it took me months to nail down all the guitar parts of this album, but it was worth it

No Picture Taylor Average	#5 by Taylor Enokson at Jan 25, 1994 at 2:40 PM EST
	This is great instrumental, Mustaine's always been great at them (see absolution or call of ktulu for other examples). No idea what it's about, but then it's kinda hard with no lyrics. Always had a military sort of feel to it for me, mainly coz of the cavalry bugles at the start and the (possible) reference to the charge of the light brigade in the title.

No Picture The Penguins Tr Professional Badass	#6 by The Penguins Tried To Kill Me The Other Day at Aug 4, 2001 at 2:41 AM EST
	the song is based on the feel of the poem "The Charge of the Light Brigade"
