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 |

When someone becomes nothing to anyone
Whilst feelings have died Anyone would know it They set out stick and stones They say they'd crush 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 [Chorus] 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 of your riches in the back of a hearse Your time is going to come [Chorus] One day I'll dance on your graves Even if you're buried at sea Till then, till when I exact my revenge [Chorus] |

(Mustaine)
This is breaking news It appears that Air Force One was shot down Somewhere over the Middle East this morning By a sleeper cell of rogue terrorists firing a Stinger Missile The Pilot and all passengers are unaccounted for The President's whereabouts are presently unknown and he is presumed missing The Vice President, Secretary of State, and principals 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 found, God get me out of this hell Nuclear battlefields energized 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't 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 This is your 5 minute warning Burn all of 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 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 world's last 24 hours 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 |

I just want to set the world afire...
Red flash clouds choking out the morning sky They said it'd never come, we knew it was a lie All forms of life die now, the humans all succumb Time to kiss your ass goodbye, the end has just begun Distorted figures walk the street, it's 1999 Weeds once underneath the feet have grown to vines Bodies melted like a candle, a land without a face No time to change your fate, no time left, it's too late The arsenal of Megadeth can't be rid of they said And if it comes the living will envy the dead Racing for power and all come in last No winning, first stone cast This falsehood worldly peace Its treaties soon will cease No one will be left to prove that humans existed Maybe soon the children will be born open fisted We all live on one planet and it will all go up in smoke Too bad they couldn't see this lethal energy And now the final scene, a global darkening Dig deep the piles of rubble and ruin Towering overhead both far and wide There's unknown tools for World War III Einstein said, 'We'll use rocks on the other side' No survivors, set the world afire! |

I sneak in my own house,
It's four in the morning, I had too much to drink, Said I was out with the boys, I creep in my bedroom, I slip into bed, I know if I wake her, I'll wake up dead, I wonder, will she find out, About the other, other lover, Diana. Wake up dead, you die, Wake up dead, and buried, Wake up dead, you die, Wake up dead. |

In my hour of need
ha [no] you're not there and though I reached out for you wouldn't lend a hand. Through the darkest hour grace did not shine on me It feels so cold, very cold no one cares for me. Did you ever think I get lonely did you ever think that I needed love did you ever think to stop thinking you're the only one that I'm thinking of. You'll never know how hard I tried to find my space and satisfy you too. Things will be better when I'm dead and gone don't try to understand, knowing you I'm probably wrong. But oh how I lived my life for you still you'd turn away now as I die for you my flesh still crawls as I breathe your name all these years I thought I was wrong now I know it was you raise you head, raise your face your eyes tell me who you think you are, who? I walk, I walk alone into the promised land. There's a better place for me but it's far, far away everlasting life for me in a perfect world but I gotta die first, please god send me on my way. Time has a way of taking time Loneliness is not only felt be fools Alone I call to ease the pain Yearning to be held by you, Alone so alone, I'm lost Consumed by the pain the pain, the pain, the pain. Won't you hold me again you just laughed, ha ha, bitch my whole life is work built on the past but the time has come when all things shall pass this good thing passed away. In my darkest hour. |

Its twilight and I wake up hot
My body's soaked in a cold, cold sweat I reenact 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 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 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 your 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) |

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 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 One look in her lusting eyes Savage fear in you will rise Teeth of terror sinking in The bite of the she wolf One look in her lusting eyes Savage fear in you will rise Teeth of terror sinking in The bite of the she wolf Beware what stalks you in the night Beware the she-wolf and her bite Her mystic lips tell only lies Beware what stalks you in the night Beware the she-wolf and her bite Her mystic lips tell only lies |

I like the way that I make you itch
And all the reasons I give you to bitch And how I make you wanna scream in pain And feel your life is just a losing game I like the way that you let me in The way you look when the walls cave in I like the way that your stomach knots And how you cry for it all to stop I like the way that you fool yourself And make believe there's nobody else I like the way that you stand in line And beg salvation from the empty skies Don't want no revenge Ain't no pay back time It ain't called getting even Here comes the reckoning day I like the things that you try to fake And your face when I see you break And that you say you will pray for me You realize you are prey for me I like the way you stay on attack No matter what, I keep coming back And how you try to hold me down But you end up driven to the ground |

Return To Hangar - Megadeth (Lyrics: 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 |

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 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 I'll be there 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 |

This morning I made the call
The one that ends it all Hanging up I wanted to cry But dammit this well's gone dry Not for the money not for the fame Not for the power just no more games But now I'm safe in the eye of the tornado I can't replace the lies that let a 1000 days go No more living trapped inside In her way I'll surely die In the eye of the tornado blow me away You'll grow to loathe my name You'll hate me just the same You won't need your breath And soon you'll meet your death Not from the years not from the use Not from the tears just self abuse But now I'm safe in the eye of the tornado I can't replace the lies that let a 1000 days go No more living trapped inside In her way I'll surely die In the eye of the tornado blow me away Who's to say what's for me to say Who's to say what's for me got free Who's to say what's for me to do Cause a big nothing it'll be for me The land of opportunity The golden chance for me My future looks so bright Now I think I've seen the light Can't say what's on my mind Can't do what I really feel In this bed I made for me Is where I sleep I really feel I warn you of the fate Proven true to late Your tongue twist perverse Come drink now of this curse And now I fill your brain I spin you round again My poison fills your head As I tuck you into bed You feel my fingertips You won't forget my lips You'll feel my cold breath It's the kiss of death |

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 trust 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 Now there's nothing we trust~ My body aches from mistakes Betrayed by lust we lied to each other So much now there's nothing We trust God help me please On my knees betrayed by lust We lied to each other so much Now there's nothing we trust My body aches from mistakes Betrayed by lust we lied to each other So much nothing we trust oh~ Absolutely nothing we trust~ |

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 come in-between us The way of getting things we wanted done Then enissophobia held you under its influence Until you compromised your style Everything about you has been one big charade What will you do now that the well's run dry? Cry? To sell out all your friends and stab them in the back It's something that you are; it's 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 the fame" Would fill the crater that you dug for yourself 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; something that I'm not 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 Something that I'm not, something that you are, something I'm not Something that I'm not, something that you are, something I'm not Something that you are, something I'm not, yet |

On the truth and the lie All rise, court's in session We'll hang 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 pay the down payment called bail The system's for sale Kick the chair, the ropes 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 rest just waits For someone'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 ropes tight Just like one quick wrench, the tooth is out Friend or foe, ya gotta hang 'em dead Or they'll come back *guitar solos til end* |

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] |

United Abominations
[Music and Lyrics Dave Mustaine] Less than five miles from Ground Zero sits an international hotbed, the United "Abominations" as it were. Created to prevent wars and promote peace, it failed to address the most dangerous threats facing the world. In a mire of hypocrisy, bribes, kickbacks, and corruption, the U.N. enables terrorism, and ignores sex crimes by its peacekeepers. The U.N. is where our so-called allies undermine us, and we pay 22% of their tab to host our enemies here at home. Ambassadors from dirt-poor countries enjoy luxurious, tax-free Manhattan lifestyles, turning children into sex-slaves and enjoy Diplomatic immunity. 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, but 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 Just give me ammo for 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 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. 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 Just give me ammo for the United Abominations "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?" 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 Just give me ammo for the United Abominations 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 any terrorist organization it can, 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. |

(Gears of war, gears of war, gears of war, gears of war)
(Gears of war, gears of war, gears of war, gears of war) Ethnic cleansing with no defending These acts of genocide A fatal ending with no surrendering To cover up the crimes and lies 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 (Gears of war, gears of war) Ho-rah! (Gears of war, gears of war) When 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 |

Anybody searching for action
Anything to feel the emptiness inside Any place that the streets are empty Any takers wanna pour out their lives With fire and lighting shooting from my hand And desolation written across my eyes My itchy finger on 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 for to win, I play for blood I don't play for it all, I play for blood Play for blood |

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 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 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 Lady 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 unleashed on earth Hey, Jihad Joe? Guess what? We're coming to get you! 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 |

When someone becomes nothing to anyone
Whilst feelings have died Anyone would know it They set out stick and stones They say they'd crush 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 [Chorus] 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 of your riches in the back of a hearse Your time is going to come [Chorus] One day I'll dance on your graves Even if you're buried at sea Till then, till when I exact my revenge [Chorus] |

He said he'd try just a little bit
He didn't want to end up like them And now he blames the voices of a toothless wonder Pounding on the door to make the next score 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 Always looking at the ground, a broken, beaten man Memories of his family are calling after him He can hardly thing, 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 Shadow people follow him everywhere he goes Looking over his shoulder, the paranoia grows |
