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 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 Solos - Mustaine, Pitrelli |

Broken down feeling naked
Leaving me unfulfilled Promising compromise Championing mediocrity Time and time again What you said ain't what you mean Even if all my bones are broken I will drag myself back from the edge to Kill the King the King is dead Long live the King Kill the King the King is dead Long live the King I am the King God save the King Kill the King the King is dead I am the King Long live the King Kill the King the King is dead I am the King Long live the King I reveal a deceiver in the highest seat in the land His idle hands the Devil's workshop Generate more smoke than heat Time and time again What you said ain't what you mean Even if all my bones are broken I will drag myself back from the edge to Kill the King the King is dead Long live the King Kill the King the King is dead Long live the King I am the King God save the King Kill the King the King is dead Long live the King I am the King Kill the King the King is dead Long live the King I am the King Kill the King the King is dead Long live the King I am the King Kill the King the King is dead Long live the King I am the King |

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 Chorus: 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. |

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 |

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 |

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 reconing 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 |

The light that fills my lonely cell,
Is blocked out by the key, That locks the door to this hell, The place they wanted me. Time's racing like the wind, Execution's near, Oh lord, I wait for death, And, yes, I have no fear. I recall that night, my every breath, And, step along the way. Closed my eyes, walking, As danger paved the way. The devil, and the darkness Let her evil wander free And, here on Devils Island, The final stop for me. Chorus: Devils Island, Devils Island. Oh, there is no escape, The sea is full of sharks. The tide takes you away, and Smashes you on the rocks. The sun is shining, But feel not today, It's warmth, it's dying, And fading away. Chorus (repeat): Devils Island, [here I stay,]' Devils Island. Oh, hear the call, From the grave beyond. Oh, so pernicious, Her soul it creates song. As there is no man, that is Here upon the earth, Able to terminate our Noisome will since birth. The priest that reads the sermons, Is walking next to me, To the stake, my last request, To have her burn with me. But, so it did, the heavens opened, Rain began to fall. The final judgement came, and Was spread before you all. Final judgement. Old, weak, and feeble, But the lesson taught to me, To stay away from evil, She doesn't care for me. She haunts me in my sleep, Though I tore that page away. And, here on Devils Island, I'll always have to stay. Chorus (repeat): Devils Island, Devils Island. [Devils Island, Devils Island.] Here I am. Chorus (repeat [4 times]): Devils Island, Devils Island. |

I'm doing you a favor
As I'm taking all your money I guess I should feel sorry But I don't even trust me There's bad news creeping up And you feel a sudden chill How do you do? My name is Trouble I'm coming in for the kill... And you know I will Set the ball a rollin I'll be clicking off the miles On the train of consequences My boxcar life o' style My thinking is derailed I'm tied up to the tracks The train of consequences There ain't no turning back No hourse ever ran as fast As the money that you bet I'm blowing on my cards And play them to my chest Life's fabric is corrupt Shot through with corroded thread As for me I hocked my brains Packed my bags and headed west |

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 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 Please smile when you think of me My body's gone that's all A tout le monde/To all the world A tout mes amis/To all my friends Je vous aime/I love you Je dois partir/I have-to/must 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 |

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 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 |

Welcome to our fortress tall
Take some time to show you around Impossible to break these walls For you see the steel is much too strong Computer banks to rule the world Instruments to sight the stars Possibly I've seen to much Hangar 18 I know too much Foreign life forms inventory Suspended state of cryogenics Selective amnesia's the story Believed foretold but who'd suspect The military Intelligence Two words combined that can't make sense Possibly I've seen to much Hangar 18 I know too much |

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 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 |

A cockroach in the concrete, courthouse tan and beady eyes.
A slouch with fallen arches, purging truths into great lies. A little man with a big eraser, changing history Procedures that he's programmed to, all he hears and sees. Altering the facts and figures, events and every issue. Make a person disappear, and no one will ever miss you. Rewrites every story, every poem that ever was. Eliminates incompetence, and those who break the laws. Follow the instructions of the New Ways' Evil Book of Rules. Replacing rights with wrongs, the files and records in the schools. You say you've got the answers, well who asked you anyway? Ever think maybe it was meant to be this way? Don't try to fool us, we know the worst is yet to come. I believe my kingdom will come. Chorus: F is for fighting, R is for red, Ancestors' blood in battles they've shed. E, we elect them, E, we eject them, In the land of the free, and the home of the brave. D, for your dying, O, your overture, M, they will cover your grave with manure. This spells out freedom, it means nothing to me, As long as there's a P.M.R.C. F is for fighting, R is for red, Ancestors' blood in battles they've shed. E, we elect them, E, we eject them, In the land of the free and the home of the brave. D, for your dying, O, your overture, M is for money and you know what that cures. This spells out freedom, it means nothing to me, As long as there's a P.M.R.C. [repeat chorus] Put your hand right up my shirt, Pull the strings that make me work, Jaws will part, words fall out, like a fish with hook in mouth. Rewrites every story, every poem that ever was. Eliminates incompetence, and those who break the laws. Follow the instructions of the New Ways' Evil Book of Rules. Replacing rights with wrongs, the files and records in the schools. I'm not a fish I'm a man |

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 |

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 Who's to say, what's for me to say...be...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 |

People have round shoulders from fairing heavy loads
And the soldiers liberate them, laying mines along their roads Sorrow paid for valor is too much to recall Of the countless corpses piled up along the wailing wall Melting down all metals, turning plows and shears to swords Shun words of the Bible, we need implements of war Chalklines and red puddles of those who have been slain Destiny, that crooked schemer, says the dead shall rise again CHORUS Where do we go from here? And should we really care? The end is finally here God have mercy! Now we've rewritten history The one thing we've found out Sweet taste of vindication It turns to ashes in your mouth CHORUS |

Hello me...Meet the real me.
And my misfits way of life. A dark black past is my Most valued possession. Hindsight is always 20-20, But looking back it's still a bit fuzzy. Speak of mutually assured destruction? Nice story...Tell it to Reader's Digest!!! Chorus Feeling paranoid True enemy or false friend? Anxiety's attacking me, and My air is getting thin. I'm in trouble for the things I haven't got to yet. I'm chomping at the bit, and my Palms are getting wet, sweating bullets. Solo-Dave Hello me...It's me again. You can subdue, but never tame me. It gives me a migraine headache Thinking down to your level. Yea, just keep on thinking it's my fault And stay an inch or two outta kicking distance. Mankind has got to know His limitations. Chorus Feeling claustrophobic, Like the walls are closing in. Blood stains on my hands and I don't know where I've been. I'm in trouble for the things I haven't got to yet. I'm sharpening the axe and my Palms are getting wet, sweating bullets. Well, me...it's nice talking to myself, A credit to dementia. Some day you too will know my pain, And smile its blacktooth grin. If the war inside my head Won't take a day off I'll be dead. My icy fingers claw your back, Here I come again. Chorus Feeling paranoid True enemy or false friend? Anxiety's attacking me And my air is getting thin Feeling claustrophobic, Like the walls are closing in. Blood stains on my hands and I don't know where I've been Once you committed me Now you've acquitted me Claiming validity For your stupidity I'm chomping at the bit I'm sharpening the axe Here I come again, whoa! Sweating bullets |

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 lets 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 Now there's nothing we trust How could this be happpening 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 |

What do you mean, "I don't believe in God"?
I talk to him every day. What do you mean, "I don't support your system"? I go to court when I have to. What do you mean, "I can't get to work on time"? I got nothing better to do And, what do you mean, "I don't pay my bills"? Why do you think I'm broke? Huh? Chorus: If there's a new way, I'll be the first in line. But, it better work this time. What do you mean, "I hurt your feelings"? I didn't know you had any feelings. What do you mean, "I ain't kind"? I'm just not your kind. What do you mean, "I couldn't be president, of the United States of America"? Tell me something, it's still "We the people", right? Chorus: (repeat) If there's a new way I'll be the first in line, But, it better work this time. Can you put a price on peace? Peace, Peace sells..., Peace, Peace sells..., Peace sells...,but who's buying? Peace sells...,but who's buying? Peace sells...,but who's buying? Peace sells...,but who's buying? [Peace sells...,but who's buying? n+1 times more] No, peace sells... |

Brother will kill brother
Spilling blood across the land Killing for religion Something I don't understand Fools like me,who cross the sea And come to foreign lands Ask the sheep,for their beliefs Do you kill on God's command? A country that's divided Surely will not stand My past erased,no more disgrace No foolish naive stand The end is near,it's crystal clear Part of the master plan Don't look now to Israel It might be your homelands Holy wars Upon my podium,as the Know it all scholar Down in my seat of judgement Gavel's bang,uphold the law Up on my soapbox,a leader Out to change the world Down in my pulpit as the holler Than-thou-could-be-messenger of God |
