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 ole fashioned beating within Inches of your life 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 lighting 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 02. Public Enemy No. 1 Music & lyrics by Dave Mustaine, Johnny K.
Public enemy number one
Jailbreak and a smoking gun You wont 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 to 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 Punishments 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 is just for fun Public enemy number one Born a fugitive a father's-son Another heist of a bank is done 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 Punishments reciprocal Public enemy number one I'm unbeatable My minds untreatable Crimes unrepeatable Public enemy number one [Solo] The posters say I'm wanted Dead or dead Anyone who's tried Got a bullet to the head I'm invincible You might say despicable Punishments reciprocal Public enemy number one I'm unbeatable My minds untreatable Crimes unrepeatable Public enemy number one Public enemy 03. Whose Life (Is It Anyways?) Music & lyrics by Dave Mustaine
Ooh, you're just in time,
to get inside my head. Ooh, 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. 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. (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? Just whose life is this anyway? 04. We The People Music & lyrics by Dave 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 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 05. Guns, Drugs & Money Music & lyrics by Dave 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 06. Never Dead Music & lyrics by Dave Mustaine
The killers lie in wait for innocent blood
Swallow the lives of harmless souls Walking a crooked path their wicked names will rise. Evil lives in the dark (its right to be feeling wrong) The torment never ends, The fire that burns inside! That's blistering their brains! That's makes them sacrifice! That's driving them insane! Trapped in this no man's land Where angels dare to thread Forever banned to the realms of the Never dead! There is no one you can trust upon this grave Die with those things with flu to sin Feeding all the wars They'll feed up in the end If I fall I'll set the dark (Its right to be feeling wrong) The torment never ends, (Unload) The fire that burns inside! Lets blitzkrieg their brains! That's makes them sacrifice! Let's drive them insane! Swatting is no man's lair Where angels dare to thread Forever bet to the rounds of the Never Dead! (Dead swifts before you, to cross up to suicide Imagine builds up in your body, you will be dying) FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE! IN THE REALMS OF THE NEVER DEAD! The fire that burns inside! That's blistering their brains! That's 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! 07. New World Order Music & lyrics by Dave Mustaine, David Ellefson, Marty Friedman, Nick Menza
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 man Used to control and command All rights will be denied Without the mark you shall die No confession, all is known New World Order, you 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 Where hath the apostles gone? Joining hands with wicked ones Revelation has come to pass A New World Order, complete disorder Will hold the mass 08. Fast Lane Music & lyrics by Dave 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? 09. Black Swan Music & lyrics by Dave Mustaine
I thought a desire worth any pleasure
Could never really be a sin in vain A hundred and one shots of opportunity I'd gladly take them all again, and again, and again My angels left me with sorrows all my own And now I'm here with the devil all my own Just like a churchyard shadow creeping after me Its 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 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 There's nothing left to see, there's nothing left of me 10. Wrecker Music & lyrics by Dave 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 bad it hurts, she'll wreck it My bleached bones in the desert, 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 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 11. Millennium Of The Blind Music & lyrics by Dave Mustaine, Marty Friedman, Johnny K.
Line up all of you and turn in your eyes
You just won't need them anymore And your mind is ours to do with what we please Everything you own and everything you need Sacrifice you leaders; like it or not Or else you're going down with 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 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 12. Deadly Nightshade Music & lyrics by Dave 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 Delirium - your burning throat Mania - your heart rate soars Hallucination - you're losing your mind Suffocation - cannot breathe; you're going blind 13. 13 Music & lyrics by Dave 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 I can't get out; I can't jump out Too much to face; I can't erase |
