01. Blackmail The Universe

Music & lyrics by Mustaine

This is breaking news
Information technology appears that Air Force One was shot down
Somewhere over the Middle Due east this morning
Past a sleeper jail cell of rogue terrorists, firing a Stinger Missile
The Pilot and all passengers are unaccounted for
The President'south 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 "blood-red, white and blew it"
Unleashed revenge, my trunk is detained
How could anybody do this?
Betrayal, I peel abroad the days
Medals are useless, Uncle Sam'due south forgotten me
I'thousand non important, no one volition 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 upwardly your fists in revenge

The stage is prepare
Who will be the first to blink?
Nosotros can't become to war
Remember that "Vietnam thing"
Peace at whatever cost
With a gun to your head, bang, bang
Weakness runs in your family
What runs in mine is expiry

This is your five minute warning
Burn down all your classified documents
And if cooler heads don't prevail
First strike from a political dead man

Appeasement only makes the aggressor more aggressive
He understands merely one linguistic communication - activeness!
And he respects only ane word - force!
No sign of them stopping, no time for back aqueduct communiqués
We need all the assist we can become, air strikes and invasions!
Retaliate, I say!

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

Blackmail the Universe with the greatest of calamities
Awaken those sleeping giants in the grit of the ground
With their skin destroyed, unjust to innocence
Lawful owner of the globe's last 24 hours

Terror and ugliness reveal what death really means
And in hatred yous run across men as they actually are
If chosen over heaven, Globe volition take been for them
All along, but another region of hell

02. Dice Dead Plenty

Music & lyrics by Mustaine

Its twilight and I wake up hot
My body'due south soaked in a cold, cold sweat
I reenact the pulp scenes
And clawed engravings in my head

Oh, I can't dial difficult enough and I run
I tin't kick high enough and I run
I tin can't shoot straight enough and I run
I can't hold on enough and I run
Oh, I tin't stay down enough and I run
I can't have pain enough and I run
I tin't bleed fast enough
I can't die dead enough

The air is thick, simply the oxygen'south thin
My heart is beating similar a pulsate, boom!
Water ice is flowing through my veins
Explosives on my lips and in my lungs

Oh, I tin can't punch hard enough and I run
I can't kick loftier enough and I run
I tin't shoot straight enough and I run
I tin't agree on enough and I run
Oh, I can't stay down enough and I run
I can't take hurting enough and I run
I can't drain fast enough
I can't die dead enough

I don't know what I'g running from
I don't know where I'thou running to
But at that place's something deep and strange inside of me I come across

I don't know what I'm running from
I don't know where I'm running to
Something's compelling me to run across the dark

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

I am more driven than earlier
I alive just to settle score
I feel the nearness of your breath
I introduce you to your death

I tin't punch difficult enough
I can't kicking high enough
I can't shoot straight enough
I can't hold on enough
I tin't stay downwardly enough, die dead enough
I can't take hurting enough, die dead enough
I can't drain fast enough, dice dead enough

03. Kick The Chair

Music & lyrics past Mustaine

Dawn breaks evenly today
On the truth and the lie
All rise, courts in session
Were hanging someone high

Justice means cipher today
Now that the courts are for sale
Pick a offense from the menu; pick a sentence and defend you
And pay up the down payment called bail
The organisation's for auction

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

The court's wrong when information technology keeps tracks
Of victories and defeats
The press that never rest simply waits
For somebody's soul they tin eat

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

Kick the chair, the rope'due south tight
Just like one quick wrench, the tooth is out
Friend or foe, ya gotta hang em expressionless
Or they'll come

04. The Scorpion

Music & lyrics by Mustaine

My life is everything
That feeds my thirst that causes sin
My wants are all I care
No shame and guilt, in that location's nil in that location
Look deep into my face
I sell deceit without a trace
Fear not what I tin can do
Unless yous want it done to you, oh-ohhh!

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

My self I'm centered in
There's nothing else, there's never been
And I dream, to be left alone
With the sadness, the madness of my own
Look deep into my soul
It'due south black as coal like a bullet hole
Fear non, become off your knees
There's no defense, y'all'll practise what I delight, oh-oh!

Equally I climb onto your back, I will promise not to sting
I will tell you what you want to hear, and non hateful annihilation
Then I care for yous like a dog as I shoot my venom in
You pretend you lot didn't know that I am a scorpion, oh

As I climb onto your dorsum, I hope not to sting
I tell you lot what you desire to hear, and not mean anything
I will treat you like a dog as I shoot my venom in
'Cause y'all knew all along I am a scorpion, ya!

My lies, to reach the shore
I aggrandize and cipher more
My hopes, to steal away
All that you dearest, I'll presently betray
Look deep into my past
The pain I deal is unsurpassed
I'm not a lowly scorpion
I'm so much worse; I'thousand the fall of man

05. Tears In A Vial

Music & lyrics by Mustaine

This may seem all too confusing
How I could walk away from something so rare
But yous see it all got too enervating, yep
And I merely didn't intendance, I only didn't care, if I cared, if I cared

Lately, I've been left wanting, simply non wanting you
Attraction that in one case was is no longer in that location, ooh
And it sucks to exist taken for granted
When the veil is drawn and at that place's only air

I had to walk away
Surrender something I dear
For what I loved fifty-fifty more
And salve my tears for you

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

I had to walk abroad
Give up something I honey
For what I loved even more
And relieve my tears for you

I gave up something I loved
For what I loved even more
And I saved my tears for yous
In a vial and walked away

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

Until all your good looks betrayed you, which own't much
Counted on your counterfeit smiles for besides long
Your eyes are empty windows: broken
The body may be here, merely the soul is gone

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

06. I Know Jack

Music & lyrics by Mustaine

I served with Jack Kennedy
I knew Jack Kennedy
Jack Kennedy was friend of mine
Senator, y'all're no Jack Kennedy

07. Dorsum In The Twenty-four hour period

Music & lyrics by Mustaine

Where were you when it happened?
Where could you be found?
Were y'all at the forepart of the stage?
Or in the underground

From SF out to Former Bridge
NY back to LA
The earth of metallic changed forever
Back in the mean solar day

Well that was dorsum in the day
And if yous weren't in that location
Information technology doesn't matter anyway
Because you wouldn't sympathize

Live to dice and die to play
Every mean solar day and identify
Leave a path of metal
Across the earth from stage to phase

Well that was dorsum in the day
And if you lot weren't at that place
Information technology doesn't matter anyway
Because you wouldn't empathize

In denim and leather
We were all role of ane force
Knocked Rock and Roll on its donkey
And put metal on the course

Higher!
Higher!
Higher!
Higher!
Dorsum in the 24-hour interval
You weren't at that place
It doesn't mater
Because you wouldn't sympathise

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

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

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

Metallic's Rex dorsum then
And still is this today
Others imitate or challenge
But information technology never goes away
On, oh-oh, oh-oh

08. Something That I'm Not

Music & lyrics by Mustaine

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

Yous said that zero come in-betwixt united states of america
The way of getting things we wanted washed
Then enissophobia held yous nether its influence
Until yous compromised your style

Everything most you has been ane large charade
What will you lot practice now that the well's run dry out? Weep?
To sell out all your friends and stab them in the dorsum
It's something that you are; it'due south something that I'm not

When you forced me into doing what you love
Marking my words no one loves you very much, yeah mark em'
And when y'all tried to modify me and tried to replace me
I couldn't help but end just hating yous, hmm!

Being a fraud can merely final then long, you should know
Till what ya sensed equally a kid returns, you footling infant
To choke out the voice that told ya "coin and the fame"
Would fill the crater that you lot dug for yourself

Unlike you I'thousand no vision to myself, lest y'all forget
You didn't ever make metal, buddy; metal made you
To shell and run over everyone forth the way
It's something that y'all are; it's something that I'one thousand non

A stranger to yourself, ha! ya pissed me off over again
I won't exist driven by your needs anymore
What you'd get to do or be is articulate to run into for me
It'south something that you are; something that I'm not

It makes me ill to hear you say you lot "love me"
I know you lot 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 incommunicable!

We all laughed at the parodies that you'd become
Now your pain slowly paid back has begun
So, take my resignation, or in your words "betrayal"
Before it gets much worse, end this self-demolition

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

Something that I'thousand not, something that yous are, something I'grand non
Something that you are, something I'm not, yet

09. Truth Be Told

Music & lyrics by Mustaine

This is the first tale of death in the globe
When Cain struck down Abel, a family broken
Since then mankind'south dominated his own kind
To insult and injure, at that place'southward no such thing equally peace
Till death practise us role, till the concluding

Truth be told - Sin lies at the doorway
Truth be told - Hell'southward open for concern at present
Truth exist told - The soil cries out for revenge
Truth be told - And decease is upon the ground
All around

The boxing ain't over without spoils of war
Just crusade information technology is written does non make it and then
When you trip the light fantastic with the devil wait till the songs over
I ask myself "how bad do I desire yous to live?"
My anger is near, till the concluding

Truth be told - Sin lies at the doorway
Truth be told - Hell'due south open for business at present
Truth be told - The soil cries out for revenge
Truth be told - And death is upon the basis
All effectually

Tribulation strikes and we're hitting difficult
Even so you lot only go on your way
Head in the sand, ignoring the rain
Just like the overflowing in Noah'south mean solar day
In his day

Can't punish those ruining the world
It's suicide to some degree
Because we are all guilty, guilty as sin
There volition be no peace, never for yous and for me

Before al Qaeda and Bin Laden
Long before Hitler and Hussein
Ever since the showtime murder was committed
The verdict's e'er been the same

The cursed hereafter merely repeats the past
At that place's hell to pay and stones to cast
So, there will exist no peace, never be peace
Till the last truth be told by you and me

10. Of Mice And Men

Music & lyrics by Mustaine

The burn down burns on and on
That drives me on till all is gone
Except the unproblematic plans
Of mice and men

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

I was legal now at twenty-one
I knew the manner the world should run
My God just look what I had done
Simply drunk and having fun
Looked for friends, just I establish none
All alone at 20-1

The burn down burns on and on
That drives me on till all is gone
Except the simple plans
Of mice and men
The burn burns on and on
That drives me on till all is gone
Except the simple plans
Of mice and men

At twenty-five I was surprised
That I was all the same even one-half alive
Somehow I managed to survive
I felt my trunk'southward doing time
And In my back a hundred knives
From friends at twenty-five

And now as Gabriel sounds my warning bell
I'd purchase your life, if you would sell
A year or two, if less compelled
And then live your life and live it well
In that location'due south not much left of me to tell
I but got dorsum up each time I vicious

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

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

The burn down burns on and on
That drives me on till all is gone
Except the elementary plans
Of mice and men
The fire burns on and on
That drives me on till all is gone
Except the simple plans
Of mice and men
The burn down burns on and on
That drives me on till all is gone
Except the simple plans
Of mice and men

11. Shadow Of Deth

Lyrics by (Psalm 23) by David

Auxilium meum a Domino

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not desire
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures
He leadeth me beside the still waters
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me
In the paths of righteousness for his proper name's sake
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of decease
I volition fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they condolement me
Thou preparest a table earlier me in the presence of mine enemies
G anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life
And I will dwell in the house of the LORD for always

12. My Kingdom

Music & lyrics by Mustaine

The flag that I in one case planted as a male monarch I abandoned
And now I reclaim this imprint by God my sword and my proper name
In a truce sealed past blood within this metal skin and all that I own
Blood, bone, and courage in my veins and the middle that pumps it

Drinkable from the chalice and be reborn
And the land with me, it volition change and transform

A fighting man sworn to the quest information technology is the doom of human that they forget
I take awoken the dragon and all around me the mist of his jiff
Good and evil, there never is i without the other, his blood brother
Ever there where I least await it, it will fire me to cinders

The futures taken root in the present sun
Don't expect into my heart, to the lowest degree of all your own

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

Mad distemper strikes both beggars and Kings
The Necromancer'due south hard teachings of state of war and quest

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

I have lived through others for far too long,
And carried my guilt, my causes, my sins
I promise in the time to come when I owe no more to the future
That I can exist just a man
