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 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 |

In perpetual writhing The primordial ooze And the sanity they lose Awakened in the morning To more air pollution warnings Still we sleepwalk off to work While our nervous systems jerk Pretending not to notice How history had forebode us With the green house in effect Our environment was wrecked Now I can only laugh As I read our epitaph We end our lives as moles In the dark of dawn patrol |

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 holier Than-thou-could-be-messenger of God Wage the war on organized crime Sneak attacks, repel down the rocks Behind the lines Some people risk to employ me Some people live to destroy me Either way they die. They killed my wife and my baby, With hopes to enslave me First mistake... last mistake Paid by the alliance, to slay all the giants Next mistake... no more mistakes! Fill the cracks in, with judicial granite Because I don't say it, don't mean I ain't Thinkin' it. Next thing you know, they'll take my thoughts away I know what I said, now I must scream of the overdose And the lack of mercy killings. |

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. |

First time you touched me Secure and safe in open arms I should have known you'd crush me A snake you were when we met I loved you anyway Pulling out your poisoned fangs The venom never goes away Serpent swims free in my blood Dragons sleeping in my veins Jackyl speaking with tongue Roach egg laying in my brain Once stalked beneath your shadow Sleepwalking to the gallows I'm the sun that beats your brow in Til I finally threw the towel in Never knowing if I'd wake up in a Whirlpool got redundant My brain was just some driftwood In a cesspool I became dead From a rock star to a desk fool Was my destiny someone said Loves a tidepool Taste the waters life's abundant Taste me |

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 |

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] 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 |

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! |

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 A tout les amis Je vous aime Je dois partir 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 A tout les amis Je vous aime Je dois partir 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 when you think of me My body's gone that's all A tout le monde A tout les amis Je vous aime Je dois partir These are the last words I'll ever speak And they'll set me free A tout le monde A tout les amis Je vous aime Je dois partir These are the last words I'll ever speak And they'll set me free |

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, tturning plows and sheats 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 Where do we go from here? And should we really care The end is finally here God have mercy! Now we've rewtitten history The one thing we've found out Sweet taste of vindication It turns to ashes in your mouth If you're fighting to live It's OK to die ! The answer to your question is ... Welcome to tomorrow ! Where do we go from here? God have mercy! |

I am the author, dream up your pain
Drink as did bacchus, rebel just like cain Lord of the city, I shall remain All pandemonium, I shall reign Sit in my fortress, up on my hill Drinking the wine, 'til I've had my fill Building up high, my castle walls Oh, to veil my splendid fall I present you, I present to you, I present you this crown of worms Surrounding myself with mysery Drawn curtains heavy of my history Exquisite I am, perfect unity On my left hand is false majesty I feign affection, efute the true story Dispute with creation, the lie is my glory I care for no one, my gospel is death For me the light's gone, only darkness is left I present you, I present to you, I present you this crown of worms As black in deed, as cold as stone A commandment of one, as proud as gold As neglected in spirit, as time is old As legion is numbers, as legend is told I am alone, with the agony of truth My power of will, my judgement and chain My end is knowledge and conscience of guilt, My final confusion hidden from me till I'm done |

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 Devils Island, 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 Devils Island, Devils Island Here I am. |

Dread and the Fugitive Mind - Megadeth
Lyrics: Dave Mustaine Let me introduce myself I 'm a social disease I 've come for your wealth And 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 judgement? 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 fears 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 |

Rise so high, yet so far to fall
A plan of dignity and balance for all Political breakthrough, euphoria's high More borrowed money, more borrowed time Backed in a corner, caught up in the race Means to an end ended in disgrace Perspective is lost in the spirit of the chase Foreclosure of a dream Those visions never seen Until all is lost Personal holocaust Foreclosure of a dream Barren land that once filled a need Are worthless now, dead without a dead Slipping away from an iron grip Nature's scales are forced to tip The heartland cries, loss of all pride To leave ain't believing, so try and be tried Insufficient funds, insanity and suicide Now with new hope some will be proud This is no hoax, no one pushed out Receive a reprieve and be a pioneer Break new ground of a new frontier New ideas will surely get by No deed, or dividend. Some may ask "Why?" You'll find the solution, the answers in the sky Rise so high, yet so far to fall A plan of dignity and balance for all Political breakthrough, euphoria's high More borrowed money, more borrowed |

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 nowsix feet there my body lies Still feel like I'm going 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 judgment 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 |

Leaping from the sky Hurling thru the air Exhilarating high See the earth below Soon to make a crater Blue sky, black death Energy of the Gods, adrenalin surge Won't stop til I hit the ground, I'm on my way for sure Up here in the air, this will never hurt I'm on my way to impact, taste the high speed dirt Paralyzed with fear Feel velocity gain Entering a near Catatonic state Pressure of the sound Roaring thru my head Crash into the ground Damned if I'll be dead Jump or Die ! Dropping all my weight Going down full throttle The pale horse awaits Like a genie in a bottle Fire in my veins Faster as I go I forgot my name I'm a dirt torpedo High Speed Dirt ... |

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 holier Than-thou-could-be-messenger of God Wage the war on organized crime Sneak attacks, repel down the rocks Behind the lines Some people risk to employ me Some people live to destroy me Either way they die. They killed my wife and my baby, With hopes to enslave me First mistake... last mistake Paid by the alliance, to slay all the giants Next mistake... no more mistakes! Fill the cracks in, with judicial granite Because I don't say it, don't mean I ain't Thinkin' it. Next thing you know, they'll take my thoughts away I know what I said, now I must scream of the overdose And the lack of mercy killings. |

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. |

Get it right, terminate them The Panzers will, permeate them Break their pride, denigrate them And their people, retrograde them Typhus, detriate them Epidemic, devastate them Take no prisoners, cremate them Going to war, give 'em hell D-Day, next stop Normandie Beginning of the end WE know how to and sure as shit we'll win War is peace sure man A retreat for the damned A playground for the demented A haven for those who walk this world Bereft of heart and soul Love and war they say all is fair Take his life But won't take his hair Your body has parts your Country can spare By the way son here's Your wheelchair He once had to be all he could be Now he's nothing for no one nowhere to see Funny thing, he's like you & me It's a funny thing, a funny thing Tears streak his solemn stare Abandoned for wreckage nobody cares No one knew what would happen there No one spoke no one even dared Don't ask what you can do for you country Ask what your country can do for you Take no prisoners, take no shit |

Again we stalk the stage
At mach speed we engage Feeding people's rage The big cat's left it's cage Back in the bus again To catch another plane The behavior's quite insane But we do it for the fame, yeah I lost my mind, I lost all my money I lost my life to the killing road The road will never end It always starts again Another show's around the bend Another long lost friend Faceless as the snow There's nothing special about the road It's just another haul It's just too damn long that's all, yeah |

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 |

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 turningback No horse 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 I hocked my brains Packed my bags 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 turningback 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 turningback 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 turningback |

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 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~ |

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. |

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 A tout les amis Je vous aime Je dois partir 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 A tout les amis Je vous aime Je dois partir 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 when you think of me My body's gone that's all A tout le monde A tout les amis Je vous aime Je dois partir These are the last words I'll ever speak And they'll set me free A tout le monde A tout les amis Je vous aime Je dois partir These are the last words I'll ever speak And they'll set me free |

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 |

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 |

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) |

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 |

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. |

Dawn breaks evenly today
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* |

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 |
