1. Kingmaker

Generation of the dark watch their lives decay
Persecuting their ‘own kind’, there’s nothing you can say
Don’t ask anyone for help, they won’t know what to do
If you try, if you don’t die, you’ll end up black and blue

Epidemic of addiction, worshipping the pill
Drown them all with alcohol, anything for thrills
Precious life goes up in smoke, going nowhere fast
The world is running rampant and you know that this can’t last

I want everything that makes me feel alright
That feels alive, don’t ask me why
I want everything, right before my eyes
I can’t deny I want to be the King!
Kingmaker!

[Solo – Chris]

Searching for an answer, but you see you’re all alone
Mom and Daddy’s lights are on but nobody’s home
They glorify their tortured life; they talk of days like this
Sentencing their children, when they need to eat a fist

Narcotics have enslaved them; now it’s coming after you
Pearls of wisdom hit the floor, there’s nothing you can do
Out of control, you sell your soul, so blind, you couldn’t see
Ten feet tall, it made you crawl; it’s better you than me

I want everything that makes me feel alright
That feels alive, don’t ask me why
I want everything, right before my eyes
I can’t deny I want to be the King!
Kingmaker!

[Solo – Chris]

[Solo – Dave]

I want everything that makes me feel alright
That feels alive, don’t ask me why
I want everything, right before my eyes
I can’t deny I want to be the King!
It makes me feel alive, I want everything
It makes me feel alright, I want everything
The things I can’t deny, I want everything
I want to be the King!

2. Super Collider

[Lyrics & Music: Mustaine]

[Verse 1:]
When you feel life is bringing you down
And you see that you’re all alone
When your friends – they have all run out
That is when you will know I’m the one

[Chorus:]
On the high road
(On the high road)
I will take you higher
(I will take you higher)
Till the world explodes
(Till the world explodes)
Just like a super collider
(like a super collider)

[Verse 2:]
This could be all the heaven you see
Life can be wicked, mean and cold
Could this be the end of your living hell
Come with me and I’ll free your soul

[Chorus:]
On the high road
(On the high road)
I will take you higher
(I will take you higher)
Till the world explodes
(Till the world explodes)
Just like a super collider
(like a super collider)

[Solo – Dave]

[Verse 3:]
Just one thing that I want you to know
You don’t need to be on your own
No more feeling left out in the cold
Take my hand and I’ll take you home

[Chorus:]
On the high road
(On the high road)
I will take you higher
(I will take you higher)
Till the world explodes
(Till the world explodes)
Just like a super collider
(like a super collider)

On the high road
(On the high road)
I will take you higher
(I will take you higher)
Till the world explodes
(Till the world explodes)
Just like a super collider
(super collider yeah)

On the high road
I will take you higher
Till the world explodes
Just like a super collider

3. Burn!

[Lyrics & Music: Mustaine]

I’ve got a sickening feeling
My life is standing still
It’s clear that fate is closing in
But this is the life I choose
I’ve got so much time to kill
Born to lose, I’ll die to win

Burn, baby burn… ’cause it feels so good

I’m getting on my own nerves
And I get no satisfaction
Till I light it up and burn it down
One match lights my fire
And it starts a chain reaction
That burns my crooked past to the ground

Burn, baby burn… ’cause it feels so good
Burn, baby burn… like I knew it would
Fire, I’ve got the fire
Fire, burning desire… my desire to burn

[Solo – Dave]

I hear the darkness call
The sirens are growing near
It’s time I make my great escape
The flames are getting tall
Inside my rear view mirror
Just a spark is all it takes

4. Built For War

[Lyrics: Mustaine, Music: Drover, Broderick, Mustaine]

Built for war, what do you think your fists are for? Built for war!

Listen, I didn’t start this – believe me, I will finish it…
You called down the thunder – too late now there’s no way out…
Nothing is gonna stop me – until then better watch your back…

Built for war, what do you think your fists are for? Built for war!

There is no retreating – I will cut you down to size…
You will beg for mercy – a bad seed, you’re as good as dead…
Yield to new dimension – Hell’s coming, better say your prayers…

Built for war, what do you think your fists are for? Built for war!
Built for war, are you looking at me, you want some more?
What do you think your fists are for?

[Solo – Chris]

One day you will face me – and see the terror trapped inside…
Final retribution – torture and pure punishment…
Vengeance running so deep – a dungeon of agony awaits…
Fear not as death surrounds you – Bitch all you want, but here it comes…

Built for war, what do you think your fists are for? Built for war!
Built for war, are you looking at me, you want some more?
What do you think your fists are for?

[Solo – Chris]

5. Off The Edge

Lately, it seems the world is going crazy
It won’t be long till they replace me
And nothing seems to faze me, anymore

I can’t take it, I get the feeling I won’t make it
I’m feeling bad and I can’t shake it
And now I’m living just to fake it, what’s more

Which way is right? Come with me
Which way is wrong? Come with me
Which way is up? Come with me
Which way is down?

Crazy, I’m going crazy, this world’s gone crazy
I’m falling off the edge

Lately, I wake each morning feeling beat
And now there’s panic in the street
Someone keeps turning up the beat everywhere

Every day, I’m like an actor on the stage
I’ll never let you see my rage
I’m not at peace out of my cage anywhere

Which way is right? Come with me
Which way is wrong? Come with me
Which way is up? Come with me
Which way is down?

Crazy, I’m going crazy, this world’s gone crazy
I’m falling off the edge
Crazy, We’re going crazy, this world’s gone crazy
We’re falling off the edge

[Solo – Dave]

[Solo – Chris]

Lately, I can’t believe the things I see
This ignorance and apathy
Brings out the lunatic in me, if you care?

It blows my mind, when you sneak off into the night
Maybe it’s better that you lie
Just don’t forget to say goodbye, if you dare?

Crazy, I’m going crazy, this world’s gone crazy
I’m falling off the edge
Crazy, We’re going crazy, this world’s gone crazy
We’re falling off the edge

6. Dance In The Rain

[Lyrics & Music: Mustaine]

Sentenced to work a dead end 9 to 5
Trapped in a dingy corporate cubicle hell
Then go to work in the darkness on the midnight shift
Any chance you get, selling gas at the corner Shell

Three letters groups listening in on you
Under surveillance courtesy of Big Brother in your car
Drones monitor each and every move you make
It doesn’t matter who you know or who you think you are

You’ll never see a ray of daylight
So far in debt you’re struggling to survive
But you will break your back fighting and they’ll help
Before you let them break your pride

“Powers that be” will never win; a storm is coming, get ready
You better learn to dance in the rain, instead of wait for the sun
Learn to dance in the rain, the sun will never come

[Solo – Dave]

Down on your luck, you had your hand out once or twice
But all you wanted was just a hand, they say
“You have the right to remain silent”, so shut your mouth
Don’t mention the broken promises and lies of hope and change

“Powers that be” will never win; a storm is coming, get ready
You better learn to dance in the rain, instead of wait for the sun
Learn to dance in the rain, the sun will never come

[Solo – Chris]

Never come, dance in the rain, it ain’t gonna come

[Solo – Dave]

Enslave and impoverish the middle class
Make them dependent then strip it all away
Al-CIA-da, destruction, and democide
Addiction, corruption, every word’s a lie

Races, classes, sexes, religious wars
Destroy the family, and what love is for

The Fed and the Bankers own all the politicians
May I introduce you to the sons of perdition?
Replace the dictators Washington appointed
The Devil Messiahs and the dangerously disappointed

They lie to themselves, pleased with what they’ve done
Soon they all will be repaid and there’s nowhere to run

7. The Beginning Of Sorrow

Beginning of Sorrow
There’ll be no tomorrow
Beginning of Sorrow

Easy prey, so innocent
She barely was a teen
Hooked up with Mr. Right now
A nightmare that stole her dreams
Complications come
The Doctor says you gotta know
You decide if the baby lives
But one of you has got to go

The Beginning of Sorrow, Beginning of Sorrow
There will be no tomorrow, There’ll be no tomorrow
The Beginning of Sorrow, Beginning of Sorrow
There will be no tomorrow

Brought forth in agony
This life was misbegot
Born in an alleyway
A child nobody will adopt
Delinquent in a foster home
His heart is so full of rage
His first name’s “Ward”
His last name is “Of the State”

[Solo – Dave]

[Acoustic – Chris]

Origo doloris non erit crastinus dies

[Solo – Dave]

Like father, like son
Soon he gets revenge
Two souls soon become one
The vicious cycle never ends
Unwanted, unloved
He lives now just to hate
From the pain of being born
And nothing can take that away

The Beginning of Sorrow, Beginning of Sorrow
There will be no tomorrow, There’ll be no tomorrow
The Beginning of Sorrow, Beginning of Sorrow
There will be no tomorrow…

8. The Blackest Crow

[Lyrics & Music: Mustaine]

This cold, empty house is
So quiet now she’s gone
The dust accumulates into
Mountains on the ground

My paper’s piled on the steps
Her flowers all have died
I’m searching everywhere
For someone I’ll never find

The haunting never fades, laughter’s gone away
It’s too late, when you’ve lost your soul
I left her everything, she only left my ring
My world is darker now than the blackest crow

[Slide – Dave]

Shadows fill this place
She’s been away so long
The wallpaper leaves a stain
Where pictures once belonged

You think I would have known
Something was going on
Her kisses were so cold
Her loving touch withdrawn

The haunting never fades, laughter’s gone away
It’s too late, when you’ve lost your soul
I left her everything, she only left my ring
My world is darker now than the blackest crow

[Solo – Dave]

They never do teach you how to walk away from someone that you love

The haunting never fades, laughter’s gone away
I know t’s too late, when you’ve lost your soul
The fires all but gone, my world is darker now
Than the blackest crow

[Slide – Dave]

The blackest crow…

9. Forget To Remember

[Lyrics & Music: Mustaine]

[Solo – Dave]

Sands in the hourglass fall for us all
You don’t answer me anymore when I call
So much is trapped inside, tangled in your brain
It’s getting cold outside and it looks like rain
The sky is falling and my heart is caving in

So, now the time has come to say the long goodbye
The setting of the sun reflecting in your eyes
Day after day after day the world will pass you by,
you forget to remember

[Solo – Dave]

If this is living, what the hell is living for?
You’ve boarded up your eyes, your mind has locked the door
I’m just a stranger now with an unfamiliar face
You can’t recall me at all,
there’s not a trace… not a trace… not a trace
I don’t know where you are and my world is crumbling in

So, now the time has come to say the long goodbye
The setting of the sun reflecting in your eyes
Day after day after day the world will pass you by,
you forget to remember

[Solo – Chris]

I just want to talk – What do you want?
But you’ve nothing to say – Leave me alone
I beg you to come – Get away from me
And you just walk away – I have no idea who you are!
I curse the day that your smile fades away, till then I pray

A burning candle in-between and at both ends
With all that we’ve learned, yet we still pretend
I just wish you could say my name again

They made the lock and broke the key,
the culprit was the mercury
The vaccine wipes your memories,
till you forget even how to breathe
A tangled web they weave, when they practice to deceive

So, now the time has come to say the long goodbye
The setting of the sun reflecting in your eyes
Day after day after day the world will pass you by
I said that I’d be strong, but you know I had to lie

You forget to remember… it’s time to say the long goodbye

10. Don’t Turn Your Back…

[Lyrics & Music: Mustaine]

[Solo – Chris]

When things were good I know you would always be there for me
Yes, It’s true; friends like you are few and far between
I wish I may, I wish I might, the things you do ain’t quite right
Just ain’t right

And still we try to pretend
That you will be here in the end
The best advice that I can lend
Don’t ever turn your back on a friend
Don’t turn your back…

[Solo – Chris]

[Solo – Dave]

When things were bad you always had something else better to do
It’s just a lie to think that I could ever mean anything to you
You steal what’s mine then help me look for it;
how many times do I pay for it? How many times?

And still we try to pretend
That you will be here in the end
The best advice that I can lend
Don’t ever turn your back on a friend

Don’t turn your back…

[Solo – Chris]

11. Cold Sweat

[originally by Thin Lizzy]

I put my money in the suitcase
And headed for the big race
I felt a chill on my backbone
As I hung up the telephone

Stone cold sober and stone cold sweat
Running down the back of my neck
To lose means trouble, to win pays double
And I got me a heavy bet

Cold, cold sweat

They say chances on the outside
Are looking very slim
I’ve been so lucky on the inside
I feel I’m going to win

Stone cold sober and stone cold sweat
Running down the back of my neck
Take a little money, there’s nothing left to lose
And I got me a heavy bet

Cold, cold sweat

I’ve got me a whole month’s wages
I haven’t seen that much in ages
I might spend it in stages
And move out to las vegas

Stone cold sober and stone cold sweat
Running down the back of my neck
To lose means trouble, to win means double
And I got me a heavy bet

Cold, cold sweat

I put my money in the suitcase
They say chances on the outside
I got a whole months wages

Stone cold sober and stone cold sweat
Stone cold crazy
Place another bet

12. All I Want

[Bonus Track]

In a filthy barroom
She was shooting pool with friends
I sent someone over and
I watched her shake her head she said
If I wanted to meet her
I had to come at least that far
I introduced myself to a look that would kill
She sneered I know who you are
Oh yeah that´s right climb on and hold tight
She is all I want in a girl
We took off on a rocket ride
It felt like it would never end
I started movin´ in on over
And I watched her tilt her head she said
If I´m gonna lay it on her

It´d better be more than just tonight
At that moment I knew after I kissed you
I´ve known you all my life she said
Oh yeah that´s right climb on and hold tight
She is all I want in a girl
Oh yeah that´s right I like that she´s all spice
I am all she wants in my girl
All I want all I need all I want all that I need
All I want all I need all I want all that I need
All I want is a girl she is all that I want
All I want is a girl she is all that I want
All I want is a girl she is all that I want
All I want is a girl she is all that I want
All I want all I need all I want all that I need
All I want all I need she is all that I wantř

13. A House Devided

[Bonus Track]

We all know about the hate you´re breeding
And we pay for the machine you´re feeding
You can never shut up you can never shut down
This house divided this house divided

We all know we all know this house divided
Something´s wrong we all know

Something´s wrong about the way you´re thinking
The rats are jumping and your ship is sinking
You can never get on you can never get off
This house divided

We all hear about this case you´re pleading
Your demands have gone beyond conceding
You can never get in you can never get out
This house divided

This is a sad day for violence
When speech results in silence
I´m supposed to hate you
You´re supposed to hate me
We can never agree

Now we´ve become so desperate
Don´t you forget you you asked for it
I´m supposed to hate you
You´re supposed to hate me
We never agree

We all know about the hate you´re breeding
And we pay for the machine you´re feeding

A house divided a house divided
A house divided a house divided

1. Sudden Death

[Music & Lyrics – Mustaine]

His wicked Highness born from disaster
To dominate and to kill
A glistening murder machine
False majesty standing perfectly still
A blitzkrieg raining down evil
On a mountain of black ice
Like a good old-fashioned beating within
Inches of your life

While alone and left abandoned
With the sentence you’ve been handed
All your angels will ignore you
As your life flashes before you
Even still you keep on fighting
Through the thunder and the lightning
And now Heaven sends its love
Your sudden death from above

Once frozen like a prisoner depraved
Perched high atop the lithospheres
Set free from beneath the depths of hell
Bequeathing man nothing but despair
The beast is genetically programmed,
Time to destroy, time to go berserk
To see the end of all wars
To see the end of the Earth

Stopping at nothing, punch drunk
From the blood that he’s tasted
Tearing your soul apart
Not one bit of your pain will be wasted
Now death descends upon you
Like a bloody white dove
Bringing your retribution
Your sudden death from above

2. Public Enemy No. 1

[Lyrics & Music – Mustaine, Johnny K]

Public enemy number one
Jail break and a smoking gun
You won’t believe the things I’ve done
And the killing is just for fun

Public enemy number one
A stolen car and I’m on the run
Through the night till the rising sun
And the trouble has just begun

Roses on your grave
I’ll be on my way
There’s no time to stay
With the enemies I’ve made

I’m invincible
You might say despicable
Punishment’s reciprocal
Public enemy number one

I’m unbeatable
My mind is untreatable
Crimes unrepeatable
Public enemy number one

Public enemy number one
Watch the authorities come undone
With every stand-off that I’ve won
Flirting death just for fun

Public enemy number one
Born a fugitive father’s son
Another heist of a bank is done
And the trouble has just begun

[Chorus]

The posters say I’m wanted “Dead or Dead”
Anyone who’s tried got a bullet to the head

[Chorus]

Public Enemy [4x]

3. Whose Life (Is It Anyways?)

[Lyrics & Music – Mustaine]

Oooh, you’re just in time
To get inside my head
Oooh, the war of words
You’re underneath my skin

You hate the way I wear my clothes
You hate my friends and where we go
I see you in the shadows…
You think you know what’s best for me
You hate everything you see in me
Have you looked in a mirror?
HEY! Just whose life is this anyway?
You tell me how to live but who asked you anyway?
HEY! Just whose life is this anyway?
Costs so much more than the price
I ain’t gonna pay!

You only point out fault
Anxiety attack!
You running your mouth
You stab me in my back!

[Chorus]

Running your mouth…
Running your mouth…
Stab me in the back…
Anxiety attack…

HEY! Just whose life is this anyway?
You tell me how to live but who asked you anyway?
HEY! Just whose life is this anyway?
Costs so much more than the price
I ain’t gonna pay!

HEY! Just whose life is this anyway?
You tell me how to live but who asked you anyway?
HEY! Just whose life is this anyway?
Just whose life is this anyway?
Just whose life is this anyway?

4. We The People

[Lyrics & Music – Mustaine, Johnny K]

Secret bureaucracy, it’s just a lie
The devil’s henchmen, in suit and tie
A sacred brotherhood; an ancient rite
Politicians and the double lives they hide

Violate your rights, no more equality
Surrender freedom, your Social Security
We, the people face unconstitutional lies
In greed we trust, in revolution we die

Our founding fathers are rolling in their graves
The land of liberty needs a regime change
Until you no longer know right from wrong
The constitution isn’t worth the paper it’s written on

[Chorus]

Screams from the future, warn of calamity
The coming plagues of the new disease
The illuminati, one world currency
One world religion, one World everything

[Chorus]

5. Guns, Drugs & Money

[Lyrics & Music – Mustaine, Johnny K]

Drinking cold cerveza in a boiling hot saloon
Chasing shots of tequila, just about high noon
Outside Nuevo Laredo, deep in no man’s land
Become a killer or be killed; face down in the Rio Grande

Poverty will turn the life of any good man bad
All love and mercy ever learned, he’ll soon forget what he had

Guns, drugs, and money under the Mexican sky
Guns, drugs, and money; pick your poison or you die
Guns, drugs, and money; a pistol pressed to his head
Choose silver and you’re rich; you gonna die if you choose lead

He had a suitcase full of money, plenty of ammo for his gun
The sweat rolls down his dirty face, his plans have all come undone
It’s just a matter of time, no matter how he tries
He hears “Plata O Plomo, Gringo?” the last words before he dies

[Chorus]

6. Never Dead

[Lyrics & Music – Mustaine]

Killers lie in wait for innocent blood
To swallow alive some harmless souls
Walking a crooked path, their wicked names will rot

Evil lives in the dark, its right is doing wrong
The torment never ends . . . it never ends

[Chorus:]
The fire that burns inside!!
That’s blistering their brains!!
That makes them sacrifice!
That’s driving them insane!
Trapped in this “no man’s land”
Where angels dare to tread
Forever banned to the realms of the never dead!

There’s no one you can trust from this grave
Die with those they swear to defend
Feeding on the ones they’ll feed off in the end
Evil lives in the dark, its right is doing wrong
The torment never ends . . . it never ends

[Chorus]

Death sits before you, to press on is suicide
Life spills out of your body, you wither and die
For the rest of your life in the realms of the Never Dead

[Chorus]

7. New World Order

[Lyrics – Mustaine, Menza, Music – Mustaine, Friedman, Ellefson]

Where hath the apostles gone?
Joining hands with wicked ones
Revelation has come to pass,
New World Order will hold the mass
A book written by the man
Used to control and command
All rights will be denied,
Without the mark you shall die

[2x]
No confession, all is known (all is known!)
New World Order, you shall be shown (shall be shown!)

Monitoring all wages
New World Order comes in stages
Currency is obsolete
Feel the agony of defeat
A symbol of society today
A must have or you shall pay
As humans flesh leads the mind
Just a pawn, the last martyr dies

[2x]
No confession, all is known (all is known!)
New World Order, you shall be shown (shall be shown!)

Where hath the apostles gone?
Joining hands with wicked ones
Revelation has come to pass
New World Order, complete disorder
Will hold the mass

8. Fast Lane

[Lyrics & Music – Mustaine, Johnny K]

You don’t know what I feel, I get behind the wheel
A feeling in my soul
I hyperventilate as I accelerate
Till I’ve lost all control

My speed becomes relentless
Contesting all my senses
White line appearing faster
Prompting death and disaster

My supersonic machine
Get out of my…

Fast lane, like a jet plane
Like a freight train, I’m driving insane
Addicted to the fast lane
Rushing to my brain
No time to explain, this is my domain
Addicted to the fast lane

I look into mirror, red lights are drawing nearer
They think I’ve met my match
But I shift into high gear, soon they just disappear
You can’t jail what you can’t catch

I hear the engines screaming
I’m burning up the…

[Chorus]

9. Black Swan

[Music & Lyrics – Mustaine]

I thought a desire worth any pleasure
Could never really be a sin in vain
A hundred one shots of opportunity
I’d gladly take them all again, and again, and again

I promised on my soul, not to get carried away
It always starts out psychedelic, and then it turns to black
My head starts swaying; I forgot what was it I was saying?
I don’t know where I am, and I’ll never, never make it back

I sealed my fate, and I paid my debt
I fell from grace with deep regret

My angels left me with sorrows on my own
And now I’m here with the devil on my own
Just like a churchyard shadow creeping after me
It’s only there to terrify my mind, a black swan keeps haunting me
Just like a churchyard shadow, there’s nothing left to see
It’s only there to terrify my mind, a black swan keeps haunting me

My angels left me with sorrows on my own
And now I’m here with the devil on my own, on my own
Just like a churchyard shadow creeping after me
It’s only there to terrify my mind, a black swan keeps haunting me
Just like a churchyard shadow, there’s nothing left to see
It’s only there to terrify my mind, a black swan keeps haunting me

Just like a churchyard shadow, creeping after me
There’s nothing left to see, there’s nothing left of me

10. Wrecker

[Lyrics & Music – Mustaine]

It doesn’t matter what car you drive, she’ll wreck it
It doesn’t matter where you sleep at night, she’ll wreck it
It doesn’t matter where you go to work
Doesn’t matter where you go to church
Doesn’t matter just how bad it hurts, she’ll wreck it

My bleached bones in the desert, it’s all she’s left of me

Poison ivy in your touch, being with you destroyed so much
Home wrecker
Deadly venom in your kiss, hell can’t be worse than this
Home wrecker

It doesn’t matter what you pretend, she’ll wreck it
It doesn’t matter what you defend, she’ll wreck it
It doesn’t matter how you live your life
Doesn’t matter anymore to your wife
Doesn’t matter even how you die, she’ll wreck that too

Like a vulture picking my bones clean, it’s all that’s left of me

Poison ivy in your touch, being with you destroyed so much
Home wrecker
Deadly venom in your kiss, hell can’t be worse than this
Home wrecker

It doesn’t matter where you live
It doesn’t matter what you drive
Home wrecker

Poison ivy in your touch, being with you destroyed so much
Home wrecker
Deadly venom in your kiss, hell can’t be worse than this
Home wrecker

11. Millenium Of The Blind

[Music – Mustaine, Friedman, Johnny K, Lyrics – Mustaine, Johnny K]

Line up all of you and turn in your eyes
You just won’t need them anymore
When your mind is ours, to do with what we please
Everything you own and everything you need

Sacrifice your leaders, like it or not
Or else you’re going down
With a ship, death on the rocks
Blind follow, blind lead
All our hopes and dreams washed out to sea

All your money’s ours to bankroll corrupt wars
You can’t see what you’re fighting for
Trust your leaders as they send you out to die
The true face of evil can’t be seen without eyes

Sacrifice your leaders, like it or not
Or else you’re going down
With a ship, death on the rocks
Blind follow, blind lead
All our hopes and dreams washed out to sea

At the start of time, many centuries ago
Came the spawning of Christ and the Antichrist
And darkness fell upon our people
And the children, they were born faceless
Without eyes they could not see
Born unto themselves, they lived and they died
In the millennium of the blind

Blind follow, blind lead
All our hopes and dreams washed out to sea

12. Deadly Nightshade

[Lyrics & Music – Mustaine]

Come now my lovely, won’t you
Take a midnight stroll with me?
Through the misty air the things
I keep I shouldn’t dare

My garden’s so inviting, and its
Deadly blooms are hiding
Be careful what you touch
Lest the grave is what you lust

Draw the blinds, you’re getting tired
Paralyzed, don’t close your eyes
Gripped with fear, your dreams become nightmares
From the Deadly Nightshade

Each night at midnight
Dating back into the fog of time
Another victim falls
The things I’ve done; the voices call

The Hourglass runs out on us
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
The killers must be fed, the soil is red
Now that you’re dead

[Chorus x2]

Delirium – your burning throat
Mania – your heart rate soars
Hallucination – you’re losing your mind
Suffocation – cannot breathe; you’re going blind

[Chorus x2]

13. 13

[Lyrics & Music – Mustaine, Johnny K]

Thirteen times I went to the well
To draw my thoughts, I’ll gather and tell
Like bricks that I’ve laid to build my life
Those that crumbled only caused me strife

Thoughts became words, cast into the sea
But they returned, always haunting me
Like a severed arm washed up on the shore
I just don’t think I can give anymore

Because I’ve lived, how many times do I have to die?
Because I’ve lived, how many lives do I have to die?

Thirteen times and it’s been lucky for me
After everything, you still want me to bleed
Thirteen ways to see the devil in my eyes
Because I stood here thirteen times and I’m still alive

At thirteen I started down this path
Fueled with anger, music was my wrath
Years of clawing at scars that never healed
Drowning my mind, the thoughts are too real

[Chorus]

I can’t get out; I can’t jump out
Too much to face; I can’t erase

[Chorus]

[Solo – Chris]

2. This Day We Fight!

For this I was chosen because I fear nothing
With confidence I tread through the dead of the night
Off to another war torn, far away battlefield
Wherein lies a daemonic enemy horde

On this day I decide to anoint my fists
Engaging them in the mode of power and war

Stopping at nothing that’s short of fulfilling my destiny
Willing to die and I will, after you for what I believe

[Solo – Chris]

A desperate avenger striking fear in their hearts

Invading their dreams before the day even starts

[Solo – Dave]

Whet whit your blood, I sharpen my sword

No turning the other cheek like a coward
Come tomorrow I may lay down and die
But not this day

Sent on an unholy quest, to reduce all those who resist
To the size of their shriveled up souls and scatter them like grist
I vanquished the strangeholds that the netherworld sets for me
The last request of my life is to die killing my enemies

[Solo – Chris]

Bathed in blood up to the horses’ bridle
Its death to retreat, there’s no chance of survival

[Solo – Dave]

Whet whit your blood, I sharpen my sword

No turning the other cheek like a coward
Come tomorrow I may lay down and die
But not this day, this day we fight!

This day we fight!

Strip the fallen heroes, finish off the wounded
Collect the spoils of war and send them back dead

[Solo – Dave]
[Solo – Chris]
[Solo – Dave]

This day we fight!
This day I fight!

3. 44 Minutes

It was a cool winter’s morning
Somewhere shortly past 9:00 AM
The armored car they wanted to heist wasn’t coming
So instead they went for the bank

The fateful duo that sat in the get-away car
Heavily sedated with thousands of round
Armor piercing, fully automatic weapons
The bowls of wrath poured out on the ground

[Chorus:]
Baptized in a firefight
Hot blood running cold as ice
44 minutes of target practice
All hell’s breaking loose
Outgunned, watching “The Force” come to a firefight with a pocketknife
Getting schooled until they shot Achilles’ heel
And brought down the beast!!!

[Solo – Chris]

This was an accident waiting to happen
It wasn’t if it would happen, it was when
The city’s people sabotaged themselves
Calling their firepower an unneeded expense

The two most violent men it seemed couldn’t be stopped
Standard police issue guns were just not enough
But SWAT arrived to settled the fight
Between AK-47 and AR-15

[Chorus]

[Solo – Chris]
[Solo – Dave]
[Solo – Chris]

[Chorus]

[Solo – Chris]

4. 1,320

Grinding my teeth, with knuckles grasp at the wheel
I rush from an avalanche of adrenaline, it’s all that I feel
As quick as a bolt of lightning, a rocket ride in a bucket seat
It doesn’t get any better than this, it just feeds my need for speed

[Chorus:]
Supercharged, strapped in and screaming
Fire spiting from the pipes
A burnout by the flame throwing fury
8,000 horses ignite
Full throttle, hit the ground running
With a tank full of nitro
And its 1,320′ to go to the finish line

[Solo – Chris]

My hands hold tight, a fire breathing stampede
I fall into a trance, hold my breath till the light turns green
In a cloud of nitro methane, melting rubber, I say my prayers
Man and machine accelerate and I vanish in thin air

[Chorus]

[Solo – Dave, Chris, Dave, Chris, Dave, Chris]

5. Bite The Hand

They ball-gagged Lady Justice
And blindfolded her so she can’t see
The erosion of the people’s trust
Of what will come to be an FDIC Assisted Suicide

The depression of a depression
Worldwide suicide for the economy
Caused by the dialectic chaos when the
Mob on Wall Street took “We the People” for a ride

When its dog eat dog, you are what you eat
Just like the mad dog that bites the hand that feeds
Like the mad dog that bites the hand that feeds
Just like the mad dog that bites the hand that feeds

[Solo – Chris]

They took everything and anything
As long as it once belonged to me
The rats got all the money; the roaches
Licked the cupboards clean of TV dinners and beer

This never-ending nightmare
Of the dreams I’ll never, ever get to see
And just one silver-bullet to your head
It will set me free from all the life I wasted trusting you

When it’s dog eat dog, you are what you eat
Just like the mad dog that bites the hand that feeds
Like the mad dog that bites the hand that feeds
When it’s dog eat dog, you are what you eat
Just like the mad dog that bites the hand that feeds
Just like the mad dog that bites the hand that feeds

[Solo – Chris]

6. Bodies

This thing called “Life” goes by so quickly
On day you’re here and then you’re gone
This is the moment I’ve lived my whole life for
And I’ll never give up; I’ve waited too long

I’ve waited, waited too long, I’ve waited too long

And all along the road, all the bodies left behind
May all have been good friends; just not good friends of mine

I’ve been kicked out and said I quit
Then I said, “I had enough” and “This is it”
All I wanted was just one more show for the road
Cause it was over last time before I could blink, I could blink

I’ve waited, waited too long, I’ve waited too long

[Chorus]

Their bodies left behind

[Solo – Dave]
[Solo – Chris]

7. Endgame

Attention! Attention!
All citizens are ordered to report to their District detention centers!
Do not return to your homes;
Do not contact anyone!
Do not use any cellular or GPS devices!
Surrender all weapons at once!
Attention! This way to the camps!

I woke up in a black FEMA box
Darkness was all around me, in my coffin
My dreams are all nightmares anymore
And this is what I dream every night

The Leader of the New World Order, the President of the United States
Has declared anyone now residing inside the US of A
Without the RFID chip, you’re just an illegal alien
An enemy combatant of America, welcome to the New World Order

This is the end of the road; this is the end of the line
This is the end of your life; this is the…

A society in a society, inside the fence life as you know it stops
They got their rules of conduct and we got ours
Be quick or be dead, you crumble up and die, the clock is
Ticking so slowly and so much can happen in an hour

[Solo – Chris]

This is the end of the road; this is the end of the line
This is the end of your life; this is the Endgame

I learned my lessons the hard way, every scar I earned
I had to bleed, inside the day yard
A system of controlled movement, like a giant ant farm
Any time is long time, now you’re not in charge of your time anymore

[Solo – Chris]

This is the end of the road; this is the end of the line
This is the end of your life; this is the end

[Solo – Chris]

The Ex-President signed a secret bill that can
Land a legal US Citizen in jail and the
Patriot act stripped away our constitutional rights
They say a Concentration camp just popped up, yeah, right!

[Solo – Dave]

Refuse the chip? Ha! Get persecute and beat by the
Tyranny of Mind control, for the mark of the beast
All rights removed, you’re punished captured, and enslaved
Believe me when I say, “This IS the Endgame!”

[Solo – Dave]

8. The Hardest Part Of Letting Go… Sealed With A Kiss

Such a pretty face, radiant
I saw you, across the room
I knew I had to have you

Thus started the chase
I knew I would do anything to take
Your hand and make you mine

But I learned long ago
If you love someone you have to let it go
The hardest part of letting go
Is saying goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye

[Sealed With A Kiss]

Fettered away in a makeshift cell
Beneath the venomous moonlight
I unleash my plan to watch you fail
The one I held so high

Go to sleep my love
Taste my sweet revenge on your lips
Its sealed with a kiss

[Solo – Chris]

I return to the masquerade ball
And leave the long figure weeping
Stone by stone, immured in the wall
Forever left in safekeeping

Go to sleep my love
Taste my sweet revenge on your lips
Its sealed with a kiss

[The Hardest Part Of Letting Go… (Continued)]

But I learned long ago
If you love someone you have to let it go
Let it go, let it go
The hardest part of letting go
Is saying goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye

9. Headcrusher

[Solo – Dave]

It’s time to take your last walk in this world before your journey begins underground.
Not before we torment you from your cell straight to hell with a short detour in-between.
Begging for mercy all alone, unable to handle the pressure.
Before his mortification!
Now let the torture begin!

Death by the head crusher
Head crusher!
Death by the head crusher!

The horrific torture device for those who fail interrogation,
The most painful technique ever known,
People thirst for the worst, the skulls disintegration.
Beaten, broken, in bloody rags
Adding insult to injury, he recants
But it’s much too late.
Now let the torture begin!

Death by the head crusher
Head crusher!
Death by the head crusher!

On your knees, prisoner, take your position
Place your chin forward into the restraint
Your head slowly caves in from the compression
You fade in a blackout from the infernal pain

Twisting, turning the giant screw
Your teeth are breaking loose
Crushed and splintering into your mouth

Winding down, cutting through
Like broken glass being chewed
The fragmented skull and shattering bones

There’s nothing you can do.

[Solo – Chris Broderick]

10. How The Story Ends

Far off on the horizon you can barely see their torches
But rest assured they’re out there and they’re coming
If you listen, the sound is growing nearer of infantry
Marching out a hypnotizing rhythm

Destroying every town, light it up and burn it down
You may not like it now, but this is how the story ends

Above the ring of clashing steel, they raise flags of war
A sign to all the warriors who cannot hear
Amidst smoke of cannonballs, they bang the drums of death
Pound a cadence out for those who cannot see

Destroying every town, light it up and burn it down
You may not like it now, but this is how the story ends
Poison the wells and scorch the earth, everything slashed and burnt
You may not like it now, but this is how the story ends

[Acoustic Solo – Dave]
[Solo – Chris]

11. The Right To Go Insane

I barely get to the graveyard shift on time
After pulling another grueling nine to five
I live from credit card to check
The paper money’swhirling by
And I hardly just, just barely, only just survive

I’m living on the edge, reality is teetering, my mind is on the brink

How will I face the day tomorrow if I can’t make it through today?
I got nothing left to lose, but my sanity and the right to go insane
I got nothing left to lose, but my mind
I got nothing left to choose, so I think I’ll go insane

My stomach aches from insufficient funds
My cheeks are gaunt, my guts are overdrawn
My head pounds, starvation’s given me the shakes
Too much squalor, too much pressure, and now I’m getting pissed

I’m living on the edge, reality is teetering, my mind is on the brink

1. Sleepwalker

[Music & Lyric Dave Mustaine]

I should be calling collect from jail
For the things I commit each night in my head
Like last night in my sleep I got to snuff you
But then I woke up again, safe in my little bed

No one is safe when I close my eyes; I come to take your life

I get to force your untimely disappearance
Each night in my dreams, when I’m fast asleep
I close my eyes and you just vanish soon as I
Lay down my head when I’m dead to the whole wide world

No one is safe when I close my eyes; I come to take your life
And then I wake up and it was all just a dream
And everything is the same

Sleepwalker – Did I give you concrete shoes?
And throw you off of a bridge
Sleepwalker – When I lay down to sleep
Pray your soul’s mine to keep, I feel you near me
Go to sleep, Sleepwalker

Just taking a stroll; don’t go to sleep! Here’s some toothpicks for your eyes!

You always make an excellent cadaver
I roll your body up in a carpet to make music in the
Trunk of my limousine, wrapped up in a rug
A fitting end, is that I send you up the river like a punk

No one is safe when I close my eyes; I come to take your life

The angel of death is pissed off at me again
Just because I got to put you out of my misery
It doesn’t matter, I am without fear
Now you’re dead, I won’t shed another bloody tear for you

No one is safe when I close my eyes; I come to take your life
I’m calling down the thunder, then you’ll sleep with the fishes
The answer to all of my wishes

Sleepwalker – Did I tell you I was in movies?
Then dump you garroted, lying naked in a ditch
Sleepwalker – Everyday, another way, I know you can hear me

[Solo – Mustaine]
[Solo – Drover]

I think you’d look nice in a Colombian necktie
Should stop your tongue from wagging the dog
No more stupidity from you, as I pull your tongue through
For a smile from ear to ear, now there’s nothing to hear

No one is safe when I close my eyes; I come to take your life
And then I wake up and it was all just a dream
And everything is still the same

Sleepwalker – Did I give you concrete shoes?
And throw your body off of a bridge
Sleepwalker – When I lay down to sleep
Pray your soul is mine to keep, I feel you near me

Sleepwalker – Or did I tell you I was in movies?
Then dump you garroted, lying naked in a ditch
Sleepwalker – Everyday, another way, I know you can hear me

Sleepwalker – Did I buy you the farm?
Put a horse head in your bed
Sleepwalker – When I lay down to sleep
Pray your soul is mine to keep, I feel you near me

Sleepwalker – Everyday
Everyday another way
Sleepwalker – When I lay down to sleep
Pray your soul is mine to keep, I know you can hear me

[Repeat Choruses]

2. Washington Is Next

The quiet war has begun with silent weapons
And the new slavery is to keep the people
Poor and stupid, “Novus Ordo Seclorum”

How can there be any logic in biological war?
We all know this is wrong, but the New World Order’s
Beating down the door, oh something needs to be done

There was a King, an evil King,
Who dreamt the wickedest of dreams
An ancient mystery, no prophet could interpret
Of seven years of famine, the wolf is at my door
As predicted years ago, that that was, that is, that is no more

The word predicts the future and tells the truth about the past
Of how the world leaders will hail the new Pharaoh
The eighth false king to the throne: Washington is Next!

Disengage their minds, sabotage their health
Promote sex and war and violence in the kindergartens
Blame the parents and teachers; it’s their fault, “Annuit Coeptis”
Attack the church dynamic, attack the family
Keep the public undisciplined ’til nothing left is sacred and
The “have-not’s” get hooked and have to go to the “have’s” just to cop a fix

I am the King (an evil king),
Who dreams the wickedest of dreams
An ancient mystery, nobody could interpret
Of seven empires falling, the wolf is at my door
As predicted years ago, that that was, that is, that is no more

The word predicts my future and tells the truth about my past
Of how the world’s leaders are waiting to usher in
The eighth world power of modern Rome: Washington is Next!

There was a King, an evil king,
Who dreamt the wickedest of dreams
An ancient mystery, no prophet could interpret
Of seven empires falling, the wolf is at my door
As predicted years ago, that that was, that is, that is no more

I am a King, and I dream the wildest dreams
Nobody could interpret
Seven empires falling, the wolf is at my door
Oh, that that was, that is, that is no more

There’s something at my door, some ancient mystery
The future tells the truth about my past
And I’m the eighth false king to the throne
I’ve got you in my crosshairs, now, ain’t that a bitch?

Washington, you’re next!

3. Never Walk Alone

Hiding in then the door way
and then the shadow
any place where danger
waits to kill my time
there is one who loves and waits
to seal your fate
I’m sure as you live and die
Live and die
Live and die

When you feel that something wrong
I’ll shelter you and keep you warm
I’ll never let you walk alone
I loved you when you still hated me
I’m coming and it wont be long
Time to reap what I have sewn
Never ever let you walk alone
I know your enemy it once was me

Let me wrap my arms all around you
suffer the trespasses that you made
I will drink your pain away
forever and a day
if you just call out my name
If you just call
call my name
if you just call
Even whisper it

When you feel that something wrong
Ill shelter you and keep you warm
Ill never let you walk alone
I loved you when you still hated me
I’m coming and it wont be long
Time to reap what I have sewn
Never ever let you walk alone
I know your enemy it once was me

SOLO!!!!!!!

4. United Abominations

[Music and Lyrics Dave Mustaine]

Within striking distance from Ground Zero sits a smoldering international cauldron, the United “Abominations” as it were. Born to prevent wars, it froze in the face of disaster and stood silent while terrorization to hostage of the world
In a mire of hypocrisy, the U.N. ignores sex crimes by its “blue helmets”, and enables terrorism; so in the end it’s failed and the U.N. is where our
so-called friends get to stab us in the back and we pay 22% of their tab to host our
enemies here at home.

Ambassadors from countries enjoy otherwise known as a catastrophe, enjoy Diplomatic immunity living in Manhattan, while their children are turned into prostitutes It’s a complete and utter disgrace, a blot on the face of humanity, and they get away with it.

Poverty in their kitchens
Held hostage by oil-for-food
Yet their own plates are full off the fat of their lands
There’s no blood on their hands, right Kojo?
They promised to tell the truth
Without leaving a fingerprint,
They will lose the U.N. one way or another
The victim, I fear will be us, sisters and brothers

The U.N. is right; you can’t be any more “un”
Than you are right now, the U.N. is undone
Another mushroom cloud, another smoking gun
The threat is real, the Locust King has come
Don’t tell me the truth; I don’t like what they’ve done
It’s payback time at the United Abominations

A grave and gathering danger
The decision to attack
Based on secret intelligence it’ll take years
I fear to undo the failings in Iraq, Iran, and Korea
You may bury the bodies

But you can’t bury the crimes only
Fools stand up and really lay down their arms
No, not me, not when Death lasts forever

“The U.N. writes resolution after resolution and has become irrelevant through inaction and totalitarian paralysis,”
“Order, Order!!!”
“Ha! There is no such thing as order”
“Larry, it’s true, reports confirm today that the United Nations has officially closed its doors forever,”
“Well, I just don’t see what all the fuss is, because they don’t do anything anyway, do they?”

NATO invaded Yugoslavia to end ethnic cleansing, there was no U.N.
The U.S. invaded Afghanistan after 9/11, there was no U.N.
Saddam Hussein violated 17 U.N. resolutions; The U.N. was asked to join the
war in Iraq. The U.S. invaded, Ha! there was no U.N.
Libya bombed a discotheque in Berlin killing Americans, there was no U.N.
Iran funds Hamas, and attacked the U.S. in the
seventies, there was no stinking U.N.
Facing War without end, looking into the future, there was no more U.N.

5. Gears Of War

Ethnic cleansing with no defending
These acts of genocide
A fatal ending with no surrendering
To cover up the crimes and lie

Smart bombs, precision guided armament
A more sophisticated way to end up dead
Still we search and invent such intelligent weapons
That kill each other like the Gears of War
Hoo-rah!!!

If you ride with thieves, then you die with thieves
Cross my heart and hope that you die, that you die!
When the smoke has cleared, the devil’s in the mirror
And you see his warheads paint the sky, now you die!

Smart bombs, precision guided armament
A more sophisticated way to end up dead
Still we search and invent such intelligent weapons
That kill each other like the Gears of War
Hoo-rah!!!

6. Blessed Are The Dead

A great sign appeared
Under the stars and the moon
Sounds of galloping horses
On clouds of lightning and thunder

A dark gathering storm
To scorch the earth for many generations
A nuclear winter
Worse than any cold or holy war

A white horse on the clouds of death
A red warhorse to end all wars
A pale horse and pestilence led by a
Black horse with famine and scales

The doctrine of hatred
Nation will rise against nation
Wash me in blood and let me be
The firstborn of the dead

A crowned rider with arrows and bow
A red rider with a great firey sword
Flames come from the one called death
Horror and apocalypse follows

(RIDE!) Won’t you four horsemen ride again
Before this kingdom is blown to kingdom come

I hold fast to what I believe
Till I see my name in stone

Blessed are the dead

A white horse on the clouds of death
A red warhorse to end all wars
A pale horse and pestilence led by a
Black horse with famine and scales

The synagogue of Satan
Nation will rise against nation
Wash me in blood and let me be
The firstborn of the dead

A crowned rider with arrows and bow
A red rider with a great firey sword
Flames come from the one called death
Horror and apocalypse follows

(RIDE!) Won’t you four horsemen ride again
Before this kingdom is blown to kingdom come
I hold fast to what I believe
Till I see my name in stone

Blessed are the dead

7. Play For Blood

Anybody searching for action
Anything to fill the emptiness inside
Any place that the streets are empty
Any takers wanna pour out their lives
With fire and lightning shooting from my hand
And desolation written across my eyes
My itchy finger on the hairpin trigger
My tempers hot and my patience’s taken flight

Inside the abattoir
The cover charge is somebody’s gotta die
Now, I hear you screaming out for mercy
Last man that’s standing wins the fight
Too late, I see your end zero in on you
Even mortal enemies, they can’t deny
Let me help you up again
The wings of god surround me
I live to play because I know I’ll never die

If I win again, I’m still the champion
And if you win, ha, that’s just impossible
I don’t play for keeps; I don’t play for your soul
I don’t play to win; I don’t play for it all
I play for blood

I don’t play for keeps, I play for blood
I don’t play for your soul, I play for blood
I don’t play to win, I play for blood
I don’t play for it all, I play for blood
I play for blood

8. A Tout Le Monde (Set Me Free)

[feat. Cristina Scabbia]

Don’t remember where I was
I realized life was a game
The more seriously I took things
The harder the rules became
I had no idea what it’d cost
My life passed before my eyes
When I found out how little I accomplished
All my plans denied

So as you read this know my friends
I’d love to stay with you all
Smile when you think of me
My body’s gone that’s all

A tout le monde (To all the world)
A tous mes amis (To all my friends)
Je vous aime (I love you)
Je dois partir (I have to leave)
These are the last words
I’ll ever speak
And they’ll set me free

If my heart was still alive
I know it would surely break
And my memories left with you
There’s nothing more to say

Moving on is a simple thing
What it leaves behind is hard
You know the sleeping feel no more pain
And the living are scarred

A tout le monde (To all the world)
A tous mes amis (To all my friends)
Je vous aime (I love you)
Je dois partir (I have to leave)
These are the last words
I’ll ever speak
And they’ll set me free

So as you read this know my friends
I’d love to stay with you all
Please smile, smile when you think about me
My body’s gone that’s all

A tout le monde (To all the world)
A tous mes amis (To all my friends)
Je vous aime (I love you)
Je dois partir (I have to leave)
These are the last words
I’ll ever speak
And they’ll set me free
[2x]

These are the last words
I’ll ever speak
And they’ll set me free

9. Amerikhastan

Recruiting the ill-fated for “The War”
A legion of uneducated, bankrupt souls
With a lust for revenge, answering the call
From New Yorqatar to Califarabia

Desperation provides fertile ground for religious extremism
This glorious brainwashing where prejudice lies
Like a crouching tiger
Tormenting peasants till they erect an army
Under everyone’s nose
In the end propaganda destroys their DNA, God help them

[Solo – Drover]
[Solo – Mustaine]

All that they envisioned of what things would come to be
Turned into a pink mist when they blew to smithereens
We are just a war away from Amerikhastan
When God versus God;the undoing of man

Promising a vapor, in the end they become one

[Solo – Drover]

No rules of engagement, this enemy hides
Amongst women and children

And to beat violence, you must ignore the focus groups
You must send in the Mossad, turn of the BBC, CNN
And don’t look back
Rest assured there’ll be no more Middle Eastern crisis, hell!
There’ll be no more Middle East!
These are your people Liberty
Pull up your dress today
And tattooed is “property of The USA
A subsidiary of Halliburton”
Surprise?!
But a roaring lion is about to be on earth
Hey, Jihad Joe? Guess what? We’re coming to get you!

[Solo – Drover]
[Solo – Mustaine]

All that you envisioned of what things will come to be
Turns into a death knell when you look behind the scenes
We are just a war away from Amerikhastan
When God versus God, the undoing of man

[Solo – Drover]
[Solo – Mustaine]

10. You’re Dead

When someone becomes nothing to anyone
Wilts feelings have died
Anyone would know it
They set out stick and stones
They say they crossed my bones
I say I don’t get mad I get even
before they do.

Spoils go to the victor
I’m dead on time
Your time is going to come

One day I’ll dance on your graves
Even if you’re buried at sea
Till then till when I exact my revenge
I’ll tell them you’re dead to me

We’re all just trying to hold on to anything
You’d think they’d know that’s what we’re trying to do
These wounds are invisible

Underneath the dirt I still see the scars
But then when things got bad we spread our wings and fly away

You’ll take all your riches in the back of a hearse
Your time is going to come

One day I’ll dance on your graves
Even if you’re buried at sea
Till then till when I exact my revenge
I’ll tell them you’re dead to me

One day I’ll dance on your grave
Even if you’re buried at sea
Till then till when I exact my revenge

One day I’ll dance on your graves
Even if you’re buried at sea
Till then till when I exact my revenge
I’ll tell them you’re dead to me

11. Burnt Ice

[Solo – Mustaine]

He said he’d try just a little bit

[Solo – Mustaine]

He didn’t want to end up like them

[Solo – Drover]

And now he blames the voices of a toothless wonder

[Solo – Mustaine]

Pounding on the door to make the next score

[Solo – Drover]

Anything for a hit, any sin to pay for it
For that next bowl, he’d sell his soul

Spiral to destruction, it’s too late to break the spell
He wants the ride to stop on the freight train straight to hell
Without the truth he’ll never find in a dungeon of his lies
His cause of death… high speed on burnt ice

[Solo – Mustaine]

Always looking at the ground, a broken, beaten man
Memories of his family are calling after him
He can hardly think, hardly walk
Phone keeps ringing, he can’t talk
With just one hit the pain would go away
But he’s dead if he does

[Solo – Drover]
[Solo – Mustaine]
[Solo – Drover]

Shadow people follow him everywhere he goes
Looking over his shoulder, the paranoia grows

[Solo – Mustaine]

12. Out On The Tiles

[Bonus track for Japanese release]

[Led Zeppelin cover, originally from the album “Led Zeppelin III” composed by Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and John Bonham. Copyright to SuperHype Music Inc., ASCAP, 1970.]

As I walk down the highway, all I do is sing this song
And a train that’s passing my way helps the rhythm move along
There is no doubt about the words, they’re clear
The voice is strong, it’s oh-so strong

I am just a simple guy, I live from day to day
A ray of sunshine melts my frown and blows my blues away
There’s nothing more that I can say, but on a day like today
I pass the time away and walk a quiet mile with you

All I need from you, is all your love
All you gotta give to me, is all your love
All I need from you, is all your love
All you gotta give to me, is all your love

I’m so glad I’m living, gonna tell the world that I am
I got me a fine woman and she says that I’m her man
One thing that I know for sure, gonna give her all the loving like nobody can

Standing in the noonday sun, trying to flag a ride
People go and people come, see my rider right by my side
It’s a total disgrace that they set the pace, it must be a race
And the best thing I can do is run

All I need from you, is all your love
All you gotta give to me, is all your love
All I need from you, is all your love
All you gotta give to me, is all your love

13. Black Swan

[special edition track]

[composed by Dave Mustaine and Megadeth]

I thought at this hour, any pleasure, could never really be a sin in vain
One hundred and one shots of opportunity, I’d gladly take them all again and again, and again

My angel’s left me, sorrows are my own
Now I’m here, with the Devil on my own
Just like a churchyard shadow, creeping after me
It’s only there to terrify my mind, a black swan keeps haunting me

I promised on my soul, not to get carried away
It always starts out psychedelic, and then it turns to black
My head starts swaying, I forgot what it was that I was saying
I don’t know where I am, and I’ll never, never make it back

I sealed my fate, and I paid my debt
I fell from grace with deep regret

My angel’s left me, sorrows are my own
And now I’m here, with the Devil on my own
Just like a churchyard shadow, creeping after me
It’s only there to terrify my mind, a black swan keeps haunting me
Just like a churchyard shadow, there’s nothing left to see
It’s only there to terrify my mind, a black swan keeps haunting me

My angel’s left me, sorrows are my own
Now I’m here, with the Devil on my own, on my own
Just like a churchyard shadow, creeping after me
It’s only there to terrify my mind, a black swan keeps haunting me
Just like a churchyard shadow, there’s nothing left to see
It’s only there to terrify my mind, a black swan keeps haunting me

Just like a churchyard shadow, creeping after me
There’s nothing left to see, There’s nothing left of me

1. Blackmail The Universe

This is breaking news
It appears air force one was shot down
Somewhere over the Middle East this morning
By a sleeper cell of rouge terrorists, firing a stinger missile
The pilot and all passengers are unaccounted for
The presidents whereabouts are presently unknown
And he is presumed missing
The vice president, secretary of state
And principles of the military are assembling
Our nation stands at DEFCON 3

The greatest crisis, will someone come for me?
I “red, white and blew it.”
Unleashed revenge, my body is detained
How could anybody do this?
Betrayal, I peel away the days
Medals are useless. Uncle Sam’s forgotten me
I’m not important no one will ever come
I’ll never be fund, god get me out of this hell.

Nuclear battlefields energised
Cold wars are heating up again
The tensions mounting
People lift up your fists in revenge

The stage is set
Who will be the first to blink?
We can go to war
Remember that “Vietnam thing”
Peace at any price

With a gun to your head, bang, bang
Weakness runs in your family
What runs in mine is death

[Solo – Poland]

This is your 5-minute warning
Burn all your classified documents
And if cooler heads don’t prevail
First strike from a political dead man

Appeasement only makes the aggressor more aggressive
He understands only one language – action
And he respects only one word – force
No sign of them stopping, no time for back channel communiques
We need all the help we can get, air strikes and invasions!
Retaliate. I say!

The will of good men can not counter the terrible strain of war

[Solo – Poland]

[Solo – Mustaine]

Blackmail the universe with the greatest of calamities
Awaken those sleeping giants in the dust of the ground
With their skin destroyed, unjust to innocence
Lawful possessor of the worlds last 24 hours

[Solo – Mustaine]

Terror and ugliness reveal what death really means
And in hatred you see men as they really are
If chosen over heaven, earth will have been for them
All along, only another region of hell.

2. Die Dead Enough

[Solo: Poland]

It’s twilight and I wake up hot
My body’s soaked in a cold, cold sweat
I re-enact the lurid scenes
And clawed engravings in my head

Oh, I can’t punch hard enough (and I run)
I can’t kick high enough (and I run)
I can’t shoot straight enough (and I run)
I can’t hold on enough (and I run)
Oh, I can’t stay down enough (and I run)
I can’t take pain enough (and I run)
I can’t bleed fast enough
I can’t die dead enough

The air is thick, but the oxygen’s thin
My heart is beating like a drum (boom!)
And ice is flowing through my veins
Explosives on my lips and in my lungs

I don’t know what I’m running from
And I don’t know where I’m running to
There’s something deep and strange inside of me, I see

I don’t know what I’m running from
And I don’t know where I’m running to
Something’s compelling me to run into the dark

And now I am more driven than before
And now I live just to settle score
And now I feel the nearness of you breath
Now I introduce you to your death

[Solo – Poland]
[Solo – Mustaine]
[Solo – Poland]

I am more driven than before
I live just to settle score
I feel the nearness of your breath
I introduce you to your death
I can’t punch hard enough
I can’t kick high enough
I can’t shoot straight enough
I can’t hold on enough

I can’t stay down enough (die dead enough)
I can’t take pain enough (die dead enough)
I can’t bleed fast enough (die dead enough)
I can’t die dead enough (die dead enough)

3. Kick The Chair

Dawn breaks evenly today
On the truth and the lie
All rise, court’s in session
We’re hanging someone high

Justice means nothing today
Now that the courts are for sale
Pick a crime from the menu, pick a sentence and defend you
And pick up the down payment called bail
The system’s for sale!

Kick the chair, the rope is tight
Just like one quick wrench, the tooth is out
Friend or foe, I gotta hang ’em dead
Or they’ll come back around
Kick it!

The court’s wrong when it keeps track
Of victories and defeats
The press that never rests just waits
For somebody’s soul they can eat

Justice means nothing today
Now that the jury’s for sale
Guilty or not, the verdict’s a lie
You’re going to jail
The system has failed!

Kick the chair, the rope is tight
Just like one quick wrench, the tooth is out
Friend or foe, ya gotta hang ’em dead
Or they’ll come back

[Solo – Mustaine (2:21)]
[Solo – Mustaine (2:51)]
[Solo – Mustaine (3:04)]
[Solo – Poland (3:20)]

4. The Scorpion

My life, is everything
That feeds my thirst, that causes sin
My wants, are all I care
No shame and guilt, there’s nothing there
Look deep, into my face
I sell deceit, without a trace
Fear not, what I can do
Unless you, want it done to you, oh-ohhh!

[Solo – Mustaine]

As I climb onto your back, I will promise not to sting
I will, tell you what you want to hear and not mean anything
Then I, treat you like a dog, as I shoot my venom in
You pretend you didn’t know, that I am a scorpion, oh

My self, I’m centered in
There’s nothing else, there’s never been
And I dream, to be left alone
With the sadness, the madness of my own
Look deep, into my soul
It’s black as coal, like a bullet hole
Fear not, get off your knees
There’s no defense, you’ll do what I please, oh-oh!

[Solo – Mustaine]

As I climb onto your back, I will promise not to sting
I will, tell you what you want to hear and not mean anything
Then I treat you like a dog, as I shoot my venom in
You pretend you didn’t know, that I am a scorpion, ohhh!

[Solo – Mustaine]

As I climb onto your back, I will promise not to sting
I will, tell you what you want to hear and not mean anything
I will, treat you like a dog as I shoot my venom in
‘Cause you knew all along I am a scorpion, yeah!

My lies, to reach the shore
I aggrandize, and nothing more
My hopes, to steal away
All that you love, I’ll soon betray
Look deep, into my past
The pain I feel, is unsurpassed
I’m not, a lowly scorpion
I’m so much worse; I’m the fall of man

5. Tears In A Vial

This may seem all too confusing
How I could walk away from something so rare
But you see it got too demanding, yeah
And I just didn’t care, I just didn’t care, if I cared, if I cared

Lately, I’ve been left wanting, but not wanting you
Attraction that once was is no longer there, ooh
And it sucks to be taken for granted
When the veil is drawn so there is only air

I had to walk away
Give up something I love
For what I loved even more
And save my tears for you

[Solo – Mustaine]

Everything has lost its meaning; I had to let it go
To find myself, myself, and start something new, brand new
Forced to look deep in the mirror, face who I really am
Now it’s just me, ’cause I can’t afford you

I had to walk away
Give up something I love
For what I loved even more
And save my tears for you

I gave up something I love
For what I loved even more
And save my tears for you
In a vial and walked away

[Solo – Mustaine]
[Solo – Poland]

You were so beautiful to look upon
I could see the light in your smile
Your eyes were the windows into your soul
Your body was heavenly just like the sky

[Solo – Mustaine]

Until all your good looks betrayed you, which wasn’t much
Counted on your counterfeit smiles for too long
Your eyes are empty windows, broken
The body may be here but the soul is gone

I saved my tears for you in a vial
From everything wicked thing that you did, that you said
To send away, buried with your love
So many tears in a vial, now that you’re gone, and now that you’re dead

6. I Know Jack

[Solo – Mustaine]

I served with jack Kennedy
I knew jack Kennedy
Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine
Senator you’re no jack Kennedy

7. Back In The Day

Where were you when it happened?
Where could you be found?
Were you at the front of the stage?
Or in the underground?

From SF out to Old Bridge
New York back to LA
The world of metal changed forever
Back in the day

Well that was back in the day
And if you weren’t there
It doesn’t matter anyway
Because you wouldn’t understand

Live to die and die to play
Every day and place
Leave a path of metal
Across the world from stage to stage

Well that was back in the day
And if you weren’t there
It doesn’t matter anyway
Because you wouldn’t understand

[Solo – Poland]

In denim and leather
We were all part of one force
Knocked rock and roll on its ass
And put metal on the course

Higher

[Solo – Poland]

Higher

[Solo – Mustaine]

Higher

[Solo – Poland]

Higher

[Solo – Mustaine]

Back in the day

[Solo – Mustaine]

You weren’t there

[Solo – Mustaine]

It doesn’t matter

[Solo – Mustaine]

Because you wouldn’t understand

This is our way of life
A life that was born free
To follow orders how to live
Was never meant to be
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh

Peals of thunder, sheets of lightning
The power hits the stage
The music was exciting
The mania raged
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh

We all had the fever
Our ears started to ring
Feeding this wildfire
Consuming everything
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh

Metals king back then
And still to this day
Others imitate or challenge
But it never goes away
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh

8. Something That I’m Not

Your mind tells you that you’ve lost your confidence
You’re drifting and ya don’t believe in anyone
To lose what little you have left to be proud of
Afraid you can’t do this again, ah!

You said that nothing can come in-between us
The way of getting things we wanted done
Then enissophobia held you under its influence
Until you compromised your style

[Solo – Mustaine]

Everything about you has been one big charade
What will you do now the wells run dry? Cry?
To sell out all your friends and stab them in the back
It’s something that you are; something that I’m not

When you forced me into doing what you love
Mark my words no one loves you very much, yeah mark em
And when you tried to change me and tried to replace me
I couldn’t help but end just hating you, hmm!

Being a fraud can only last so long, you should know
Till what ya sensed as a child returns, you little baby
To choke out the voice that told ya “money and fame”
Would fill the crater that you dug for yourself

[Solo – Mustaine]

Unlike you I’m no vision to myself, lest you forget
You didn’t ever make metal, buddy; metal made you
To crush and run over everyone along the way
It’s something that you are; it’s something that I’m not

A stranger to yourself, ha! Ya pissed me off again
I won’t be driven by your needs anymore
What you’d become to do or be is clear to see for me
It’s something that you are; it’s something that I’m not

[Solo – Mustaine]

it makes me sick to hear you say you “love me”
I know you only love what I can do for you
If you were the one that was leading the charge
Would you notice if I missed a day or two? But that’s impossible!

We all laughed at the parodies that you’d become
Now your pain slowly paid back has begun
So, accept my resignation, or in your words “betrayal”
Before it gets much worse, end this self-sabotage

[Solo – Mustaine]

Something I’m not, something that you are, something that I’m not

[Solo – Mustaine]

Something I’m not, something that you are, something that I’m not
Something that you are, something that I’m not, yet

9. Truth Be Told

This is the first tale of death in the world
When Cain struck down Abel, a family broken
Since then mankind’s dominated his own kind
To insult and injure, there’s no such thing as peace
Till dead do us part, till the last

Truth be told – sin lies at the doorway
Truth be told – hells open for business now
Truth be told – the soil cries out for revenge
Truth be told – and death is upon the ground
All around

The battle ain’t over without spoils of war
Just cause it is written doesn’t make it so
When you dance with the devil wait till the songs over
I ask myself, “How bad do I want you to live?”
My anger is near, till the last

Truth be told – sin lies at the doorway
Truth be told – hells open for business now
Truth be told – the soil cries out for revenge
Truth be told – and death is upon the ground
All around

[Solo – Mustaine]
[Solo – Mustaine]

Tribulation strikes and we’re hit hard
Still you just go on your way
Head in the sand, ignoring the rain
Just like the flood in Noah’s day
In his day

[Solo – Mustaine]

Can’t punish those for ruining the earth
It’s suicide to some degree
Because we are all guilty, guilty as sin
There will be no peace, never for you and me

[Solo – Mustaine]

Before al qaeda and bin ladin
Long before Hitler and Hussein
Ever since the first murder was committed
The verdicts always been the same
Been the same, wrong!

[Solo – Mustaine]

The cursed future just repeats the past
There’s hell to pay and stones to cast
So, there will be no peace, never peace
Till the last truth be told by you and me

[Solo – Mustaine]

10. Of Mice And Men

The fire burns on and on
That drives me on ’til all is gone
Except the simple plans
Of mice and men

Back when I was just seventeen
I thought that I knew everything
I could make it in this scene
To be a rising star that only gleamed
But all the answers disagreed
With the questions held for me

I was legal now at twenty-one
I knew the way the world should run
My God, just look what I had done
Simply drunk and having fun
Looked for friends, but I found none
All alone at twenty-one

[Solo – Poland]

The fire burns on and on
That drives me on ’til all is gone
Except the simple plans
Of mice and men

At twenty-five I was surprised
That I was even half-alive
Somehow I managed to survive
I felt my body doing time
And in my back a hundred knives
From my friends at twenty-five

And now as Gabriel sounds my warning bell
I’d buy your life, if you would sell
A year or two if less compelled
So live your life and live it well
There’s not much left of me to tell
I just got back up each time I fell

[Solo – Poland]

The fire burns on and on
That drives me on ’til all is gone
Except the simple plans
Of mice and men

[Solo – fills Poland]
[Solo – Mustaine]

The fire burns on and on
That drives me on ’til all is gone
Except the simple plans
Of mice and men

[Solo – fills Poland]

11. Shadow Of Deth

Auxilium meum a domino

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures
He leadeth me beside the still waters
He restoreth my soul

He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his names sake
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I will fear no evil: for thou art with me
Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies
Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life
And I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever

[Solo – Mustaine]

12. My Kingdom Come

The flag that I once planted as a king I abandoned
And now I reclaim this banner by god, my sword, and my name
In a truce sealed by blood within this metal skin and all that I own
Blood, bone, and courage in my veins, and the heart that pumps it

Drink from the chalice and be reborn
And the land with me, it will change and transform

A fighting, am sworn to the quest it is doom of man that they forget
I have awoken the dragon and all around me the mist of his breath
God and evil, there never is one without the other, his brother
Always there where I least expect it, it will burn me to cinders

The futures taken root in the present sun
Don’t look into my heart into my heart, least of all your own

[Solo – Poland]

No man who is false can win in combat against the truth
When he lies he murders some part of the world,
We must find out what was lost
Hearth and home, wife and child were not for me, I was not yet done
I never knew how empty my soul was until it was refilled

Mad distemper strikes both beggars and kings
The necromancer’s hard teachings of war and quest

I am given the right to bear arms and power to meet justice

I have lived through others for far to long,
And carried my guilt, my causes, my sins
I hope in the hereafter when I owe no more to the future
That I can be just a man

[Dave Mustaine]

Behind closed doors all you live for is taking
That double life of yours has left your whole world shaking
Who are you fooling? I know you hear the laughter
Don’t you hear people talking? What is it that your after?

Turn off your conscience
Leave the world outside
Nothing at all can ever make you feel
That anything’s so real so you just – Disconnect

The key to save yourself if for nothing else
A tongue can never hold the truth of silence is golden
With a broken heart underneath all of the pain
Do you stroke the pretty scars? The hurt never ends

Turn off your conscience
Leave the world outside
Nothing at all can ever make you feel
That anything’s so real so you just – Disconnect

[Solo – Mustaine]

Turn off your conscience
Leave the world outside
Nothing at all can ever make you feel
That anything’s so real so you just – Disconnect

[End Chorus Solos – Pitrelli / Percussion – Chris Vrenna]

2. The World Needs A Hero

[Dave Mustaine]

An Iron fist quietly sits inside the Velvet Glove
Take control, untouchable just like God above
I can’t escape, wrapped in red tape, what will become of me?
If I object, then I defect my country ’tis of thee

The White House is calling
Tell them I’ll call them back
Just tell them anything
Yeah get them off my back

The world needs a hero

Not that I would ever lie but I have no choice
Words I say heard today are not mine, just my voice

NATO is on line 1
They want to talk to me
Tell them that I’m not in
Tell them that I’m not free

The world needs a hero

Phantom rule, the hidden jewel who’s really in control?
On puppet strings, a nation swings undermined by moles

The UN is on hold
Tell them I’ll call them back
Yeah tell them anything
Just get them off my back

The world needs a hero

[Solo – Mustaine]

[Solo – Pitrelli]

Dave the White House is calling
They want to talk to me
Tell them that I can’t be bought
Tell them that I’m not free

The world needs a hero

[End Solos – Pitrelli]

3. Moto Psycho

[Dave Mustaine]

Responsibility, an anchor around my neck
Dependability, made me a nervous wreck
Accountability, I live from check to check
Volatility, neglect and no respect

Got my wheels in motion and I got a path to beat
I hit the road to “I don’t know” and look for “Tough Shit Street”

[Solo – Pitrelli]

One-way ticket nowhere there’s no windows on this train
Can’t see where I’m headed but I’m going there again

Moto Psycho
Going nowhere everybody is a
Moto Psycho move it or lose it baby
Going nowhere 100 miles an hour
Moto Psycho I’m a Moto Psycho
Moto Psycho

You know you can’t resist to tell me what I mean
You gave my mind a twist said that I was unclean
The actor runs the play and ad-libs in between
You’re all that I resent my thoughts were so obscene

Got my wheels in motion and I got a path to beat
I hit the road to “I don’t know” and look for “Tough Shit Street”

[Solo – Mustaine]

One-way ticket nowhere there’s no windows on this train
Can’t see where I’m headed but I’m going there again

Moto Psycho
Going nowhere everybody is a
Moto Psycho move it or lose it baby
Going nowhere 100 miles an hour
Moto Psycho I’m a Moto Psycho

One-way ticket nowhere there’s no windows on this train
Can’t see where I’m headed but I’m going there again

Moto Psycho
Going nowhere everybody is a Moto Psycho
Going nowhere move it or lose it baby Moto Psycho
Going nowhere 100 miles an hour Moto Psycho
Where I’m headed I don’t know but I’m shoving off and I hit the road
Going nowhere everybody is a Moto Psycho – time and time and time again I’m a
Moto Psycho
Moto Psycho move it or lose it baby
Going nowhere 100 miles an hour
Moto Psycho I’m a Moto Psycho

Fill solos – Mustaine

4. 1000 Times Goodbye

[Dave Mustaine]

The tides of change pulled us apart
I feel a familiar pain
It seems like years since we’ve loved
Or even liked and that’s a lonely way to be

Drifting alone in a sea of agony
Your face I can’t recognize
Don’t make this hard on us
I will miss you if you just go away

I did no right you did no wrong
Nothing left but wasted days
I regret you leaving
But I will never take you back

[Solo – Pitrelli]

You know what? It’s over
I just don’t feel the same way as I used to
We’ve been together forever, but it’s over

Goodbye 1000 times goodbye
The thought never crossed my mind
That this would be my last goodbye
Let me put pennies on your eyes
And kiss your lips one last goodbye
My love 1000 times goodbye

It seems nothing good is free
A good thing cost much more than the price
You were good but not that good
Don’t kid yourself now it’s time to beak up

Drifting alone in a sea of agony
Your face I can’t recognize
Don’t make this hard on us
I will miss you if you just go away

I did no right you did no wrong
Nothing left but wasted days
I regret you leaving
But I’ll never take you back

[Solo – Pitrelli]

Don’t call me anymore. It’s just not.
I don’t feel the same way about you
Its not as good as it used to be

Goodbye 1000 times goodbye
The thought never crossed my mind
That this would be my last goodbye
Let me put pennies on your eyes
And kiss your lips one last goodbye
My love 1000 times goodbye

[Repeat Chorus]

[Solo – Mustaine]

I’ll always love you but just not like that
Like what?
I want to be honest with you I met someone else
You did what?
And I really, I really love him like I used to love you
Remember the time that I told you that
I was going out of town for business?
Well I went to see him
You know what? You suck!

[Solo – Mustaine]

Goodbye 1000 times
You’ll always have a special place
In my heart you know that
It’s just I can’t be with you anymore it’s over
Goodbye 1000 times
Things may not work out with him
Goodbye 1000 times
And if they don’t
Goodbye 1000 times
Then I’ll certainly call you
Goodbye 1000 times
You mean a lot to me
I still really want to be friends with you
I love you like you’re my brother

5. Burning Bridges

[Dave Mustaine]

You give up on yourself
Somehow you got betrayed agin
Thin ice and luck runs out
Who will you blame it on this time?

Due to lack of interest in you
The light at the end of the tunnel
Was turned off
And something I noticed
Beating you is thrilling me
I’ve got a secret for you

If you took your own direction
If only you practice what you preach
If you follow your advice
You wouldn’t be burning bridges all the time

Don’t close your eyes to injustice
Listen, being brave ain’t chicken shit
A man without any valor
Has nothing worth living for

Due to lack of interest in you
The light at the end of the tunnel
Was turned off
And something I noticed
Beating you is thrilling me
I’ve got a secret for you

If you took your own direction
If only you practice what you preach
If you follow your advice
You wouldn’t be burning bridges all the time

[Solo – Mustaine]

[Solo – Pitrelli]

If you took your own direction
If only you practice what you preach
If you follow your advice
You wouldn’t be burning bridges all the time

6. Promises

[Dave Mustaine / Al Pitrelli]

Two hearts that shouldn’t
Talk to each other become close
In a town much like a prison cell

People speak our names
On the street in hushed tones
Oh the stories they’d tell
If anyone would listen

You come from a town where
People don’t bother saying hello
Unless somebody’s born or dies

And I come from a place where they
Drag your hopes through the mud
Because their own dreams are all dying

And when we walk down the street
The wind sings our name in rebel songs
The sounds of the night should make us anxious
But it’s much to late when the fear is gone

I will meet you in the Next Life, I promise you
Where we can be together, I promise you
I will wait till then in Heaven, I promise you
I promise, I promise

There’s so many fighting
To get past the Pearly Gates
But nobody ever wants to die or get saved

Their intentions aren’t that good
And I can smell the asphalt
That’s their personal road to hell being paved

And when we walk down the street
The wind sings our name in rebel songs
But it’s much to late when the fear is gone

I will meet you in the Next Life, I promise you
Where we can be together, I promise you
I will wait till then in Heaven, I promise you
I promise, I promise

[Solo – Pitrelli / Solo – Mustaine]

I will meet you in the Next Life, I promise you
Where we can be together, I promise you
I will wait till then in Heaven, I promise you
I promise, I promise

[String arrangement – Suzie Katayama]

7. Recipe For Hate… Warhorse

[Dave Mustaine]

Each day my shortcomings pick my pockets
My faults were letters carved in stone
As meaningful to you as words written in water
I’m left to walk this world alone

[Fill solos – Mustaine]

In a broken mold they made me
The black sheep of the family
Worth less than zero my opinion
And room temperature IQ

I did something, now I’m nothing
Always wrong with this or that
Poisoned with fear watch it twist
My measly brain mad

[Solo – Pitrelli]

Talk about me when my bac is turned
Next time we meet it will be to late
The memory burned in my ears of what you said
And now I’ve got a recipe for hate. Taste it

[Fill solos – Mustaine]

Dark clouds on the horizon
Make it hard to breathe
A walking mistake but every time
I run away, I just come back for more

The choice is clear I can quit
And fall on my sword or light a fire
To see who runs or stays
And plays the confidence game

[Solo – Pitrelli]

…Warhorse
I’m feeling quite invisible
I feel just like thin air
That nobody wants me

[Solo – Mustaine]

I see the earth below me
I watch it spinning there
Does someone, somewhere
Out there hear me?

[Solo – Pitrelli]

Sentenced to walk in Purgatory
My life is running down
I can’t believe what they’ve done to me

[Solo – Mustaine]

I’m left riding a Warhorse
A man without a country

[Solos – Mustaine, Pitrelli, Mustaine, Pitrelli]

8. Losing My Senses

[Dave Mustaine]

One man speaking the truth
No one likes when it fits
So we tell soothing lies
And betray our own lips

The uncivilized world
And its people decay
Once sweet breeze is defiled
Sucking our breath away

[Fill Solos – Mustaine]

Yesterday’s answers has nothing to do
With today’s questions

Life can only be understood in reverse
But must be lived forwards.
I’m losing my senses, I’m losing my senses

[Fill Solos – Mustaine]

We watch as the living all die
Contemplating if we should
Ever open our eyes

If all that we touch
Keeps turning to sand
We will cease to exist
Till the last living man

[Fill Solos – Mustaine]

Yesterday’s answers has nothing to do
With today’s questions

Life can only be understood in reverse
But must be lived forward.
Life can only be understood in reverse
But must be lived forward.
I’m losing my senses

[Fill Solos – Mustaine / Solo – Pitrelli]

Yesterday’s answers has nothing to do
With today’s questions

Life can only be understood in reverse
But must be lived forwards.
Life can only be understood in reverse
But must be lived forwards.

[Fill Solos and Synth – Mustaine]
[String Arrangement – Suzie Katayama]

9. Dread And The Fugitive Mind

[Dave Mustaine]

Let me introduce myself I’m a social disease
I’ve come for your wealth leave you on your knees
No time for feeling sorry, I got here on my own
I won’t ask for mercy, I choose to walk alone

What’s yours is mine and what’s mine is mine too
If you shake my hand better count your fingers

What if I do get caught? What if there is no judgment?
If I’m right I lose nothing, if you’re right I lose it all
I ought to get caught because I’m doing something wicked
I’m guilty haunted by my fear and the only consequences
Are Dread and the Fugitive Mind

You built walls to protect you so no one will infect you
Pursued by those out there that vanish in thin air
Come a long way to find what you really left behind
You don’t know when the end is but it’s coming fast

What’s yours is mine and what’s mine is mine too
If you shake my hand better count your fingers

[Solos – Mustaine, Pitrelli]

10. Silent Scorn

[Dave Mustaine]

[Solo – Mustaine]
[Trumpet – Bob Findley]

11. Return To Hangar

[Dave Mustaine]

Welcome to an empty fortress
A mighty wreck that once was proud
Ate alive by oxidation
Abandoned by a crew of cowards
Navigation systems failed
Computers crashed and they all fall down

Possibly I’ve seen too much
Hangar 18 I know too much

[Solo – Pitrelli]

All the guilty paid the price
Suspended by their broken necks
No one survived to tell the story
When foreign life forms resurrect
And military intelligence is
Still two words that can’t make sense

Possibly I’ve seen too much
Hangar 18 I know too much

[Solos – Pitrelli, Mustaine]

[Solos – Pitrelli, Mustaine, Pitrelli, Mustaine]

12. When

[Dave Mustaine]

No hears a word I say
And my prayers are never answered
But you’ll never see the pain inside of me
Stabbing me over and over and over
I trusted you and I loved you
And you spit back in my face
How could you do this to me?
When will you stop trying to hurt me?
I’ve walked a minefield for you
A career in hell with you
I have made it through the things
Others would surely die just watching
And the oath I take on this day
Is to know that you will be repaid
One day the the sun will die and the night will crawl
Until then, until I see your world implode
I wish you death and suffering
Misery to spare
Time to release your pain
Face the last enemy
I am the last thing you will know
The last thing you will see
I see your death surrounding me
I know you, yes I do
I know you

[Fill Solos – Mustaine]

When no words are spoken and please are ignored
Your tears go unnoticed, will you say enough?
When prayers are unanswered and your calls are unheard
The pain cuts right through you, have you seen enough?

It all seems so deceitful and the verdict is lies
A black cloud of indecision compromised your life

When judgement has failed you
When your own heart’s impaled you
Your wandering mind has destroyed you
Will you ever know when?

When you give everything and the feeling is gone
All the giving is fake, did you fake enough?
When you take everything and you stay too long
When there’s nothing left, did you take enough?

It all seems so deceitful and the verdict is lies
A black cloud of indecision compromised your life

When judgement has failed you
When your own heart’s impaled you
Your wandering mind has destroyed you
Will you ever know when?

1. Insomnia

[Dave Mustaine]

I’m running in quicksand
something’s haunting me
the guilty past I’ve buried
my mind won’t let me sleep

I’ll do anything for peace – I keep waking up
a solemn oath I make
cross my heart please let me sleep – I keep waking up
how much more do I take

My head is talking to me
I don’t know what it needs
but the loudest voice
is the one I heed

Insomnia, my swollen bloodshot eyes
Insomnia, awake till morning light
Insomnia, stirring deep inside
Insomnia, somebody turn out the lights
I can’t sleep – insomnia

I’m twisting and turning – I keep waking up
the madness I must tame
my candle is burning – I keep waking up
both ends again today

The whole house is creaking
I know they’re out there
the things kept from sight
I beg to the shadows
I can’t sleep

Insomnia, footsteps on the walk
Insomnia, I hear someone knock
Insomnia, I wish it was a dream
Insomnia, can you hear me scream

2. Prince Of Darkness

[Dave Mustaine/Marty Friedman]

My victims are rich or poor, young or old, strong or weak
I cause millions of accidents, I am cancer in your bones
I fathered the lie, twist what you say, speak not the truth
I am insidious, impartial, deep inside your chromosomes

I take what you love, and leave you in tears
I imprison your soul, your hopes are my games
I strip you of pride, my promise is in vain
While you burn at the stake I dance with the flames

I bring poverty, sickness and death
A worthless handshake, the slickest thief, I steal your wealth
I answer your prayers for greed and lust
More than evil, I laugh at your trust

I am more powerful than all the armies of the world
I am more violent than violence, more deadly than death
I have destroyed more men than all the nation’s wars
I am relentless, unpredictable, waiting for your last breath

Evil, more evil than violence
Violent, more violent than death
Deadly, more deadly than man
I am yeah, yeah, I’m evil I am

My kingdom corrupt with dissent
Your sins erupt by my intent
I loathe your prayer, I wallow in sin
Let the nightmare begin
Prince of darkness, your satanic highness
Prince of darkness, the devilish serpent, the dreaded Lucifer
Prince of darkness

I take what you love, and leave you in tears
Imprison your soul, your hopes are my games
I strip you of pride, my promise is in vain
While you burn at the stake I dance with the flames

Prince of darkness, your satanic highness
Prince of darkness, the most beautiful angel
Prince of darkness, the devilish serpent, the dreaded Lucifer
Prince of darkness, unpredictable, the prince of darkness
Prince of darkness

3. Enter The Arena

[Dave Mustaine/Bud Prager]

“Here we go… crush, crush, crush ’em…”

4. Crush ‘Em

[Dave Mustaine/Bud Prager/Marty Friedman]

Enter the arena and hit the lights
Step up now you’re in for a ride
this is war, ain’t no fun and games
we get it up, you go down in flames

Party time, going down
you better not mess us around
the stakes are rich, take a hit or stay
the price is high, someone’s gonna pay

Heads I win, tails you lose
out of my way I’m coming through
roll the dice don’t think twice
and we crush, crush ’em

Looking for trouble, now you’ve found it
you’re a drum and we’re gonna pound it

Last one standing wins the fight
hear us scream and shout all night
down on the floor and eat the grit
this is gonna hurt a little bit

Heads I win, tails you lose
out of my way I’m coming through
roll the dice don’t think twice
and we crush, crush ’em

Now we lay you down to rest
you’ll never be more than second best
step inside you’re in for a ride
and we crush, crush ’em

Don’t need reason, don’t want names
just a John Doe to put to shame
step aside let me explain
the name of the game is pain

Now we’ve found you
We’re gonna pound you
We’re gonna beat you
Gonna defeat you
We’re gonna bust you
We’re gonna crush you
We’re gonna crush ’em

5. Breadline

[Dave Mustaine/Bud Prager/Marty Friedman]

Ain’t got no job
Ain’t got no smoke
Ain’t got a car
His life’s a joke

Living on the skids
Thinks the world’s just fine
Forgot what he did
Dancing on the breadline

No one there to bind him
Nothing to remind him
Nowhere left to find him

About to lose his lifeline
He’s dancing on the breadline

Forgot who he is
Forgot who he was
Used to call the shots
Now he can’t connect the dots

A mover and shaker
Getting closer to his maker
Lower than a hemline
Dancing on the breadline

No one there to bind him
Nothing to remind him
Nowhere left to find him

About to lose his lifeline
He’s looking for a headline
Sniffing up the white lines
He’s dancing on the breadline

Watch him dance

About to lose his lifeline
He’s looking for a headline
Sniffing up the white lines
He’s dancing on the breadline
About to lose his lifeline
He’s dancing on the breadline

No one, nothing, nowhere
Dancing on the breadline

He forgot and he ain’t got nothing

6. The Doctor Is Calling

[Dave Mustaine/Bud Prager/Marty Friedman]

The doctor is calling

Something’s gone wrong
Nowhere do I belong
I listen to the voices in the dark room

Something’s going down
But I can’t make a sound
Looking past the bars of my mind

The coat of arms falling
I hear the doctor calling
The family crest is falling
I hear the doctor calling

Always sharing trips
Remove me from your lips
Sight and mind still and never go away

One too many tantrums
Deviated symptoms
Better lock the phantom away

The coat of arms falling
I hear the doctor calling
The family crest is falling
I hear the doctor calling
I see the chalkline crawling
I hear the doctor calling me away

This place is my home
My mind still runs free
The doctor’s prescription
Less for you and more for me

The coat of arms falling
I hear the doctor calling
The family crest is falling
I hear the doctor calling
I see the chalkline crawling
I hear the doctor calling me away
A merciful embalming
I hear the doctor calling me away

7. I’ll Be There

[Dave Mustaine/Bud Prager/Marty Friedman]

I heard the voice of redemption
For me there is no exemption
I started praying

I heard the voice of satisfaction
Needing me for benefaction
I started pleading

I heard the bells begin to chime
Warning me oh lord
Don’t let this be my time
Don’t let this be my time

I’ll be there for you, when you walk through the fire
I’ll be there for you, when the flames get higher
When nothing fits and nothing seems right
Till the very last breath of my life, I’ll be there for you

You saw me slide, you saw me fall
We kept our pride through it all
We started screaming

When skies are dark, no sun shines through
I know I see the light in you
We stopped dreaming and started believing

In my hour of need
You were there always
Now it’s time for me to be there for you too
Always

I’ll be there for you

8. Wanderlust

[Dave Mustaine/Marty Friedman]

As sure as the sun rises in the east
Another gunman will come seeking my defeat
Will he be as fast as me, are his nerves quiet and still
Will he fall like all the rest ending his days upon boothill

I’m an outcast riding into town alone
I got wanderlust branded deeper than the bone
I’m an outcast riding into town alone
I got a lust for wandering branded deeper than the bone

As I ride into the sunset to take another town
Thank you for the invite, but I just can’t settle down
The dust that coats my hat is from a dozen towns
Dust from shooting down another dozen clowns

I’m an outcast riding into town alone
I got wanderlust branded deeper than the bone
I’m an outcast riding into town alone
I got a lust for wandering branded deeper than the bone

A drum beats for me, it’s louder every day
The cadence tells me that soon I’ll meet my judgment day
Life’s an endless showdown never knowing when they’ll come
I sleep with one eye open lying with my smoking gun

The game I play has caused a lot of grief
They were dying for fame, so I obliged them some relief

I’m an outcast riding into town alone
I got wanderlust branded deeper than the bone
I’m an outcast with lightning in my hand
I got wanderlust lost in no man’s land

I got a lust for wandering lost in no man’s land
I got wanderlust

9. Ecstasy

[Dave Mustaine/Marty Friedman]

You live in a world of fantasy
You live in a web of deceit
You want it all including me
You like it all to be neat

I come to you when shadows fall
I leave as the dawn arrives
Hide the truth to deceive them all
How my good intention lies

Try to silence the suspicions
Feeding the dark inhibitions
We can never let anyone see
The sin I bring called ecstasy
The sin I bring ecstasy

Secret meetings that we hide
Deeds of iniquity
The price of foolish pride
The cost of immorality

And we hide the truth to deceive them all
And the pain of what will never be

Try to silence the suspicions
Feeding the dark inhibitions
We can never let anyone see
The sin I bring called ecstasy
The sin I bring ecstasy

10. Seven

[Dave Mustaine/David Ellefson]

Full of greed you sell your soul
Full of pride a heavy load
You eat yourself gluttony
Resent yourself you envy me

Everything turns into wrath
You lust yourself to death

Deep fears that drive us
Hid beneath disguises
Judge the world within
Forgive my deadly sins

Procrastination always giving up
Something better comes to interrupt
Cast your verdict down to me
Spare me your bleeding sympathy

Only care how you appear
Clearly see you can’t see clear

Deep fears that drive us
Hid beneath disguises
Judge the world within
Forgive my deadly sins

Greed, gluttony, pride, envy, wrath, sloth, lust, deadly seven
Seven deadly sins of mine

On every street
And corner lie
These seven deadly sins of mine

11. Time: The Beginning

[Dave Mustaine/Marty Friedman]

Father time, I’m running late
I’m winding down, I’m growing tired
Seconds drift into the night
The clock just ticks till my time expires

You were once my friend
Now I know I can’t tie your hands
The days I saved I couldn’t spend
They fell like sand through the hourglass
No time to lose, no time to choose

Time taking time, it’s taken mine
Scenes of my life seem so unkind
Time chasing time creeps up behind
I can’t run forever, and time waits for no one
Not even me

An enemy I can’t defend
My final place a deadly end
Life’s just a speck in space
Dreams of an eternal resting place

I can’t get any younger
Time has brutal hunger

12. Time: The End

[Dave Mustaine]

I see Chronos
His eyes are on fire
He holds my life
And I see my time expire

Beat the clock
My head starts to spin
Tick, tock
I can’t let time win

1. Trust

Lost in a dream
Nothing is what it seems
Searching my head
For the words that you said

Tears filled my eyes
As we said our last goodbyes
This sad scene replays
Of you walking away

My body aches from mistakes
Betrayed by lust
We lied to each other so much
That in nothing we trust

Time and again,
She repeats let’s be friends
I smile and say yes
Another truth bends,
I must confess

I try to let go, but I know
We’ll never end ’til we’re dust
We lied to each other again
But I wish I could trust

My body aches from mistakes
Betrayed by lust
We lied to each other so much
That in nothing we trust

God help me please, on my knees
Betrayed by lust
We lied to each other so much
That in nothing we trust

How could this be happening to me
I’m lying when I say “Trust me”
I can’t believe this is true
Trust hurts
Why does trust equal suffering

Absolutely nothing we trust

2. Almost Honest

I lied just a little
When I said I need you
You stretched the truth
When you said that you knew
Just can’t believe it
There’s nothing to say
I was almost honest, almost

Living alone, can’t stand this place
It’s four in the morning and I still see your face

I was nearly pure
When I said I loved you
You were semi-sincere
You said I’d bleed for you
We were kind of candid
Now you’re gone away
You were almost honest, almost

Living alone, falling from grace
I want to alone but there’s just empty space
I can’t face tomorrow, now you’re not coming back
Walked off in the night and just left me the tracks

I question your call by the tone of your voice
I know I should hang up but I don’t have a choice
It happened that night when you told me to go
Don’t ask who’s to blame, I don’t know

Almost, almost honest
Almost, I was almost honest

3. Use The Man

I heard somebody fixed today
There was no last goodbyes to say
His will to live ran out
I heard somebody turned to dust

Looking back at what he left
A list of plans and photographs
Songs that never will be sung
These are the things he don’t get done

Just one shot to say goodbye
One last taste to mourn and cry
Scores and shoots, the lights go dim
Just one shot to do him in

He hangs his head and wonders why
Why the monkey only lies
But pay the pauper, he did choose
He hung his head inside the noose

I’ve seen the man use the needle, seen the needle use the man
I’ve seen them crawl from the cradle to the gutter on their hands
They fight a war but it’s fatal, it’s so hard to understand
I’ve seen the man use the needle, seen the needle use the man
Cryptic writing on the wall, the beginning of the end
I’ve seen myself use the needle, seen the needle in my hand

4. Mastermind

Anonymous existence, rendered useless to mankind
Destroy the logic volume in the confines of the mind
Enmassed and purposeless, marching in a perfect line
Neo-neuro torture, mental meltdown, a heinous crime

Mastermind, I tell you what to think
I tell you what you need
I tell you what to feel

Invade the core of souls to wipe the lives away
Design vacant beings, welcome the inhuman race
Encrypted horror codes, directive psyche overwrite
Processing brains to pabulum, delete and format living drives

I tell you what’s real

Hail to the power age, lest the viral hour comes
Raise the flag of voltage, bow to circuitry unknown
Kneel before the processor, lords of static laugh
Electrons in submission, you must know who I am

I tell you what to think
I didn’t care what you thought
I tell you what to get
I don’t care what you got

Subject

5. The Disintegrators

The slayer’s arrived
On a black horse of steel
Trouble is coming
Hell on two wheels

Hide in the shadows
Awaiting defeat
Or live by the sword
And choose to be free

We say retribution
We say vengeance is bliss
We say revolution
With a cast iron fist

Coming down the road
Watching every move
Kicking in the doors
Taking what we choose

Anarchy’s coming to town
A fiery invader
Burning it down to the ground
The Disintegrators

Anarchy’s coming
Here it comes
Burning it down to the ground
The Disintegrators

6. I’ll Get Even

I’m lonely and abandoned
Washed up, left for dead
I’m lost inside the desert
Of every word you said

Like a nuclear reactor
Or TNT
I’m thinking about the times
When you lied to me

All the innuendo
Caught up on your hook
I was just a name
In your little black book

Ah, I’ll get even with you

I’m bitter and I’m twisted
I haven’t slept in days
I’m lonely and I’m angry
I can’t make it go away

I’m like a bomb that’s ticking
I got voices in my head
I got a doll with needles in
Wishing you were dead

I’ll get you back somehow
That’s what I’m gonna do
I’ll get you back somehow
Your nightmare coming true

Ah, I’ll get even with you
Ah, that’s what I’m gonna do
Gonna get even with you

You better look behind you
‘Cause there I’m gonna be
I’ll be standing in the shadows
With who I used to be

He’s slightly schizophrenic
Me and me and me and me agree
That you are gonna pay
For what you did to me

Ah, I’ll get even with you
Gonna get even with you
Ah, that’s what I’m gonna do
I’m gonna do
Ah, I’ll get even with you

7. Sin

He had an unfamiliar face
Complete life in disarray
A simple man, power drunk
No worries of living, no more anything

Deep inside I’ve seen it rise
Actions progress to no end
Mirror, mirror please look inside
Do you see the reasons that we sin

Not one to be forgot
Spoiled rotten, so they say
Once burned, forever marked
Hurt by just a few but so many have to pay

Pressure coming down
Down on me, gonna break
Broken fingernails
Digging in, scratch my face

Nervous, like a cat
Gonna jump through my skin
Shadows on the wall
Stretching out, grope for me

Reasons, deep in me
Let me be
Let me bleed
Set me free
The reasons that we sin

8. A Secret Place

There’s a secret place I like to go
Everyone is there but their face don’t show
If you get inside you can’t get out
There’s no coming back, I hear them shout

Welcome to my hide away, my secret place
How I arrived I can’t explain
You’re welcome to, if you want to stay
But everyone just runs away

Let me in, get me out
Can’t do more than twist and shout
Lost my soul without a trace
Found it again in my secret place
In disgrace

I hide from those that try to find me
Scary things that’s right behind me
I lost myself, I must confess
I can’t explain how I got this mess

9. Have Cool, Will Travel

Mamas pack their lunches, kiddies back their guns
Wishing it will go away, but nothing’s getting done
A shot heard ’round the world, when a mother’s baby dies
We the people, point our fingers, blame and wonder why

Face it and fight or turn high tail and run
‘Til it comes back again just like the rising sun
Say they do all they can, it’s just another lie
The answer’s plain to see, nobody wants to try

There’s no recess and no rules in the school of life
If you listen very closely you’ll see what it’s like
Have cool, will travel

Tell myself it ain’t true, they just cannot see
Grown up or sewn up, the medicine’s worse than the disease
I have cool, will travel
Here we go

10. She-Wolf

The mother of all that is evil
Her lips are poisonous venom
Wicked temptress knows how to please
The priestess roars, “Get down on your knees”

The rite of the praying mantis
Kiss the bones of the enchantress
Spellbound searching through the night
A howling man surrenders the fight

One look in her lusting eyes
Savage fear in you will rise
Teeth of terror sinking in
The bite of the she-wolf

My desires of flesh obey me
The lioness will enslave me
Another heart beat than my own
The sound of claws on cobblestone, I’m stoned

Beware what stalks you in the night
Beware the she-wolf and her bite
Her mystic lips tell only lies
Her hidden will to kill in disguise

11. Vortex

Internal combustion
Multiple personalities
Terror inside of me
A mask of silent agony

Curse the falling rain
The vortex of pain

As medieval as Merlin
A pact for power was made
Lucifer in transition
It’s time the price was paid

Scorching the domain
The vortex of pain

A telestic message
Written in torment
Howl our dirges
Like the horns of Jericho
Distorted faces
Writhing in rage
Walls of purgatory
Tumble down
Endless death
The jewels of a crown

12. F.F.F

Looking for a cure within the human race
Eliminate the poor, how much longer will it take
Burning up the tents of the rank and file
Exterminate their lives, crack a demon smile

Crushing down, caving in our will to live
Getting rid of man’s mistakes
To take a lost life, lock it up, break it down
How much more can we take

Fight for freedom, fight authority
Fight for anything, my country tis’ of me

Cry for absolution, it’s not the end for me
A last minute pardon, one final reprieve
Resist the war machine, don’t get in it’s path
Fight to die a free man and reap the aftermath

Crushing down, caving in our will to live
Getting rid of man’s mistakes
To take a lost life, lock it up, break it down
How much more can we take

Fight! It’s my country

13. Trust (Spanish Version)

Lost in a dream
Nothing is what it seems
Searching my head
For the words that you said

Tears filled my eyes
As we said our last goodbyes
This sad scene replays
Of you walking away

Me duele todo el cuerpo por los errores
Presionados por la lujuria
Nos mentimos tanto el uno al otro
Que en nada confiamos

Time and again
She repeats let’s be friends
I smile and say yes
Another truth bends
I must confess

I try to let go, but I know
We’ll never end ’til we’re dust
We lied to each other again
(I with I could trust)
But I wish I could trust

Me duele todo el cuerpo por los errores
Presionados por la lujuria
Nos mentimos tanto el uno al otro
Que en nada confiamos

Dios te pido de rodillas ayudame por favor
Presiondos por la lujuria
Nos mentimos tanto el uno al otro
Que ya en nada confiamos

[whispered:]
Como pudo sucederme esto a mi?
Me muero cuando digo confia en mi
No puedo creer que esto sea verdad
La confianza duele
Por que la confianza es igual a sufrimiento
sufrimiento

[Solo – Marty]

Me duele todo el cuerpo por los errores
Presionados por la lujuria
Nos mentimos tanto el uno al otro
Que en nada confiamos

Dios te pido de rodillas ayudame por favor
Presiondos por la lujuria
Nos mentimos tanto el uno al otro
Que ya en nada confiamos

We lie to each other so much
Absolutely nothing we trust!

14. Evil That’s Within

There once was a familiar face
Battle scars in disarray
A simple man, power drunk
No worries of living, no more anything

Deep inside I’ve seen it rise
Bastards possesses to no end
Mirror, mirror, please look inside
Do you see the evil that’s within?

Pyramids of dead men and dogs
Spoils of war so they say
Once burned, forever marked
Hurt by just a few but so many have to pay

Deep inside I’ve seen it rise
Bastards possesses to no end
Mirror, mirror, please look inside
Do you see the evil that’s within?

[Solo – Marty]

Pressure coming down
Down on me, gonna break
Broken fingernails
Digging in, scratch your face

Nervous, like a cat
Gonna jump through my skin
Shadows on the wall
Stretching out, grope for me

Evil, evil
Evil, deep in me
Evil, let me be
Evil, let me bleed
Evil, set me free
Evil, set me free
Evil, set me free
Evil, the evil that’s within

15. Vortex (Alternate Version)

Internal terrorism
Multiple personalities
Inside the screams were deafening
Outside in silent agony

Curse coming down
A maelstrom of plagues

Medieval as Merlin
A pact for power was made
Mephistophelian transaction
A virgin soul, the price was paid

Scouring the days
The vortex of pain

A telestic message to you all
Written in torment
Howl out your dirges
Like a sonic blast

Distorted faces
Twisting in rage
Butt you head against the horns of the ram
You’re tortured to appease

[Solo – Marty]

16. Bullprick

[2004 remastered version bonus track]

Pounding in my teeth
Hydraulics on the move
Kicking in my face
Savage bucking mule
Pummeling my soul
100 tons of lead
Trampled under foot
Steamrollers on my head
Crushing down, caving in my will to live
I’d rather be dead, scream insane
To have the bullprick split their guts
Make them pay make them bleed
On your backs, in your face
Down your throats, up your ass
Bullprick!
Pulverizing flesh, broken bones the aftermath
Can’t escape the war, the war machine path
All become one, flattening the streets
Cry for absolution, splitting at the seams
Crushing down, caving in my will to live
I’d rather be dead, scream insane
To have the bullprick split their guts
Make them pay make them bleed
On your backs, in your face
Down your throats, up your ass
Bullprick!
On your backs, in your face
Down your throats, up your ass
Bullprick!

17. One Thing

[Japanese Bonus Track]

One thing
That I got for you
Is the one thing
That you never do

One thing makes you feel brand new
Is the one thing that you’re coming to
Just the one thing
Gets you in the mood

You call my number in the middle of the night
To tell me nothing else can make you feel alright
But it rings and rings you hang it up
And call me back again

One thing
That I got for you
Is the one thing
That you never do

One thing
That you got to choose
Is the one thing you can never lose
Just the one thing is your attitude

You call my name in the middle of the night
When your makin’ love and it feels alright
But it’s him not me
Can’t you see a shot of reality?

I know what you do
I know what you want to do
I know when the lights go out
I know what you are gonna to do

One thing
That I got for you
Is the one thing
That you never do

Just the one thing gets you in the mood
Just the one thing its your attitude
One thing is one thing
Just the one thing
Oh

1. No More Mr. Nice Guy
2. Breakpoint
3. Go To Hell
4. Angry Again
5. 99 Ways To Die
6. Paranoid
7. Diadems
8. Problems

1. No More Mr. Nice Guy

I used to be such a sweet, sweet thing
‘Til they got a hold of me
I opened doors for little old ladies
I helped the blind to see

I got no friends ’cause they read the papers
They can’t be seen with me
And I’m gettin’ shot down
And I’m feeling mean

No more Mister nice guy
No more Mister clean
No more Mister nice guy
They say he’s sick, he’s obscene

My dog bit me on the leg today
My cat clawed my eye
My mom’s been thrown out of the society circle
My dad’s had to hide
I went to church incognito
And everybody rose, the reverend Smith
He recognized me
Punched me in the nose

No more Mister nice guy
No more Mister clean
No more Mister nice guy
They say he’s sick, he’s obscene

2. Breakpoint

Make up the rules for me to live by
Rules you break and just let it slide
You try and find you inside of me
Be as great as you want me to be
Hypocrite, the word that fits
Do as you say
Not as you do

You’re pushing me to a breakpoint
Pushing me, push, push me to a breakpoint

Self esteem you seem to lack
Point the finger
There’s three pointing back
Control’s the illusion with all good intent
Bad times are contagious
You laugh and infect
Criticist, the word that fits
Put me down to lift you up

You’re pushing me to a breakpoint
Pushing me, push, push me to a breakpoint

Watching pain is your only pleasure
Sick fascination for someone’s disaster
Self suffering since you were born
Mess with the bull and you’ll get the horn.
Misery, the word that fits
Can’t seem to smile ’till someone’s sad

You’re pushing me to a breakpoint…
You’re pushing me, push, push me
Push, push, push me to a breakpoint

In my opinions as a professional I recommend
We straight-jacket the son-of-a-b**ch
Lock him in a rubber room
Sedate him, heavily
And when he wakes up,
If he wakes up, we’ll see
If he can be a nice boy

Well… I don’t know… It’s gonna hurt me
More that it’s gonna hurt him

Let’s do it!

You push me to a breakpoint, breakpoint
Push me to a breakpoint, breakpoint
Don’t push me, you piece of s**t!

3. Go To Hell

Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray the lord my soul to keep
If I die before i wake
Pray the lord to take

I’m not going to wake up today
They’ve pulled my plug the picture fades
And as my body decays mold begins to fill my grave
The smell of death permeates the silk within my coffin lays
Go to hell

As they bury me now six feet there my body lies
Still feel like I’m giong down I hear a distant wailing cry
God something must’ve gone wrong
And much too late I realize
Go to hell

I saw my funeral that day
I know who didn’t show to mourn
My judgement was life in hell
Pillars of pain and thorns
My only friend’s the goat
With 666 between his horns
Go to hell

Place all your trust here in me
Rest assured these things I know
And as Charon sails the sea
Your journey too shall end below
Ah yes you’re all sitting ducks
It’s true you reap what you sow
Go to hell

Now I lay me down to sleep
Blah, blah, blah my soul to keep
If I die before I wake
I’ll go to hell for heaven’s sake

4. Angry Again

THE MORE OF YOU THAT I INSPECT
THE MORE OF ME I SEE REFLECT
THE MORE I TRY TO READ YOUR LIPS
THE MORE THE MASK YOU’RE WEARING RIPS

BUT WHEN I SEEK OUT YOUR VOICE
MY EARS ARE OVERCOME WITH NOISE
YOU SHOW AND TELL WITH GREATEST EASE
RAVING IMPOSSIBILITIES

ENGAGED IN CRIME I GRASP MY THROAT
ENRAGED MY MIND STARTS TO SMOKE
ENFORCE A MENTAL OVERLOAD
ANGRY AGAIN, ANGRY AGAIN, ANGRY OW

AND WHEN THE STORY TAKES A TWIST
IF FOLDS LIKE A CONTORTIONIST
SLIGHT OF HAND AND QUICK EXCHANGE
THE OLD TRICKS HAVE BEEN REARRANGED

ENGAGED IN CRIME I GRASP MY THROAT
ENRAGED MY MIND STARTS TO SMOKE
ENFORCE A MENTAL OVERLOAD
ANGRY AGAIN, ANGRY AGAIN, ANGRY

THE SEARING OF THE SINEW
MY BODY FIGHTS FOR AIR
THE RIPPING OF THE TISSUE
MY LUNGS BEGIN TO TEAR
GRAVITY’S GOT MY BONES
IT PULLS MY FLESH AWAY
THE STEAM FINALLY DISSIPATES
I MAKE OUT MY SWEATY FACE

ASSOCIATION THAT I CHOOSE
GAME I INEVITABLY LOSE
GOVERNED BY LAWS SET UP BY ME
FRACTURE IT’S JAW TO LET ME BE
A CUT-OUT CARDBOARD CONDO MAZE
FILLED WITH AN INSUBORDINATE RACE
IRRATIONAL YOUTHS STOP TO STARE
AS MUSIC RUBBER HOSED THE AIR

ENGAGED IN CRIME I GRASP MY THROAT
ENRAGED MY MIND STARTS TO SMOKE
ENFORCE A MENTAL OVERLOAD
ANGRY AGAIN, ANGRY AGAIN, ANGRY AGAIN
AND AGAIN AND AGAIN, AGAIN

ENGAGED IN CRIME I GRASP MY THROAT
ENRAGED MY MIND STARTS TO SMOKE
ENFORCE A MENTAL OVERLOAD
ANGRY AGAIN, ANGRY AGAIN, ANGRY OW

5. 99 Ways To Die

IF I SEE THE MORNING HOURS
I’LL HAVE ONE MORE YESTERDAY
TAKE LIFE FROM TOMORROW
CAUSE I’VE BURNED OUT MY TODAY

IF I GET UP TO THE TOP I KNOW
I’LL JUST GO BACK DOWNHILL
GOTTA’ TERMINAL FUTURE
AND IT’S TIME TO WRITE MY WILL

DOWN ANOTHER GLASS OF COURAGE
AND A SHOT OF THORAZINE

WE’RE NOT READY TO SEE YOU YET
99 WAYS TO DIE
WE’RE NOT READY TO SEE YOU YET
GOTTA’ SHORT BETWEEN THE EARPHONES
WRINGING MY HANDS IN DISMAY
A MORE EFFICIENT MANIAC
WITH TWO FEET IN THE GRAVE

AIN’T GOT NO LAST WORDS TO SAY
YELLOW STREAK RIGHT UP MY SPINE
THE GUN IN MY MOUTH WAS REAL
AND THE TASTE BLEW MY MIND

IN A BLACK TIE AND STRAIGHT JACKET
MAN I’M GONNA TRY AGAIN

[CHORUS REPEAT]

DEMITASSE OF ARSENIC
TRY ON THIS TIE
NEVER MIND THE TREE

THERE IS ONLY DEATH AND DANGER
IN THE SOCKETS OF MY EYES
A PLAYGROUND OF ILLUSION
NO ONE PLAYS THEY ONLY DIE

THERE’S A PRISON IN MY MIND
AND THE BARS ARE GONNA BREAK
I’M AS MAD AS A HATTER
AND STRUNG OUT JUST THE SAME

TAUNTING RIGOR MORTIS
I FEEL IT DRAW ME IN

6. Paranoid

Finished with my woman ’cause she couldn’t help me with my mind
people think I’m insane because I am frowning all the time
All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy
Think I’ll lose my mind if I don’t find something to pacify

Can you help me occupy my brain?
Oh yeah

I need someone to show me the things in life that I can’t find
I can’t see the things that make true happiness, I must be blind

Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry
Happiness I cannot feel and love to me us so unreal

And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state
I tell you to enjoy life I wish I could but it’s too late

7. Diadems

Sacriledge and Blasphemy
Sets the stage today
The more insatiable the sex
The more swelled our tongues became

As pre-historic as it seems
This is now, today
As pre-historic as it seems
This is now

Talkin’ ’bout no vision
Talkin’ ’bout no dream
The Harlot puddles for her Lies
From where she speaks

I look above and see

Entrails in the sky
This song ain’t over ’til the

Fat lady dies

One man rules the earth
And rides the seven-headed beast
Ten diadems, to rule them all, to crown them all
The world, religion at his feet

Dreams are told of dreams of old
This day will surely come
So, run my child and hide your face
Once you’ve been marked it’s finished, done

You’ll become one
You’re mine
You’re one

I saw a new earth today
I saw a former pass away
I saw a new earth today
I saw a former pass away

Vengence is mine
Vengence is mine

The Netherworld and Sheol
Are never satisfied
So the eyes of Man are

Never sat-is-fied

I saw a new Earth today
I saw a former pass away

8. Problems

Too many problems, oh why am I here?
I need to be me, ’cause you’re all to clear
And I can see there’s something wrong with you
Oh, what do you expect me to do?
At least I gotta know what I wanna be
Don’t come to me if you need pity
Are you lonely, you got no-one
You got your body in suspension
That’s a problem, problem, problem
The problem is you

Eat your heart out on a plastic tray
You don’t do what you want and you fade away
You work for me, you’re working nine-to-five
It’s too much fun of being alive
I’m using my feet for my human machine
You work for me, living for the screen
Are you lonely, all needs catered
You got your brains dehydrated

Problem, problem, problem, the problem is you
Oh what what you gonna do, problem, problem
Problem, problem, problem, the problem is you
Well, what you gonna do with your problem
The problem is you, problem

I ain’t death trip, but I ain’t automatic
You work for me, just stay ecstatic
Don’t you give me any orders
To people like me, there is no order

Bet you thought you had it all worked out
Bet you thought you knew what I was about
Bet you thought you’d solved all your problems
But you are the problem

Problem, problem, problem, the problem is you
Oh, what you gonna do with your problem?
I’ll leave it up to you, oh problem
The problem is you, you got a problem
Oh what you gonna do?
They know a doctor, gonna take you away
Thay take you away and they throw away the key
They don’t want you and they don’t want me
You got a problem the problem is you,
Problem, well, what you gonna do?
Problem, have you got a problem?
Problem, well you got a problem.
