(Mustaine) For this I was chosen because I fear nothing 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 desire 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 with 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 strangleholds 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 with 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! @SONG: 44 Minutes (Mustaine) It was a cool winter's morning Somewhere shortly past 9:00 AM The armored car they wanted to heist wasn't coming So instead they went for the bank The fateful duo that sat in the get-away car Heavily sedated with thousands of rounds Armor piercing, fully automatic weapons The bowls of wrath poured on the ground Baptized in a firefight, hot blood running cold as ice 44 Minutes of target practice, all hell's breaking loose Outgunned, watching "The Force" come to a firefight with a pocketknife Getting schooled until they shot Achilles' heel And brought down the beast Solo - Chris This was an accident waiting to happen It wasn't if it would happen, it was when The city's people sabotaged themselves Calling their firepower an unneeded expense The two most violent men it seemed couldn't be stopped Standard police issue guns were just not enough But SWAT arrived and settled the fight Between ak-47 and ar-15 Chorus Solo - Chris Solo - Dave Solo - Chris Chorus Solo - Chris @SONG: 1,320' (Mustaine) Grinding my teeth, white knuckles grasp at the wheel I rush from an avalanche of adrenaline; it's all that I feel As quick as a bolt of lightning, a rocket ride in a bucket seat It doesn't get any better than this; it just feeds my need for speed Supercharged, strapped in and screaming Fire spitting from the pipes A burnout by the flame throwing fury 8,000 horses ignite Full throttle, hit the ground running With a tank full of nitro And its 1,320' to go to the finish line Solo - Chris My hands hold tight, a fire breathing stampede I fall into a trance, hold my breath till the light turns green In a cloud of nitro methane, melting rubber, I say my prayers Man and machine accelerate and I vanish in thin air Chorus Solo - Dave Solo - Chris Solo - Dave Solo - Chris Solo - Dave Solo - Chris @SONG: Bite The Hand (Mustaine) They ball-gagged Lady Justice And blindfolded her so she can't see The erosion of the peoples' trust Of what will come to be an FDIC Assisted Suicide The depression of a depression Worldwide suicide for the economy Caused by the dialectic chaos when the Mob on Wall Street took "We the people" for a ride When its dog eat dog, you are what you eat Just like the mad dog that bites the hand that feeds Like the mad dog that bites the hand that feeds Just like the mad dog that bites the hand that feeds Solo - Chris They took everything and anything As long as it once belonged to me The rats got all the money; the roaches Licked the cupboards clean of TV dinners and beer This never-ending nightmare Of the dreams I'll never, ever get to see And just one silver-bullet to your head It will set me free from all the life I wasted trusting you When its dog eat dog, you are what you eat Just like the mad dog that bites the hand that feeds Like the mad dog that bites the hand that feeds When its dog eat dog, you are what you eat Like the mad dog that bites the hand that feeds Just like the mad dog you bite the hand that feeds Solo - Chris @SONG: Bodies (Mustaine) This thing called "life" goes by so quickly One day you're here and then you're gone This is the moment I've lived my whole life for And I'll never give up; I've waited too long I've waited, waited too long, I've waited too long And all along the road, all the bodies left behind May all have been good friends; just not good friends of mine I've been kicked out and said I quit Then I said, "I had enough" and "this is it" All I wanted was just one more show for the road Cause it was over last time before I could blink, I could blink I've waited, waited too long, I've waited too long Chorus Their bodies left behind Solo - Dave Solo - Chris @SONG: Endgame (Mustaine) "Attention! Attention!! All citizens are ordered to report to their District detention centers! Do not return to your homes; do not contact anyone! Do not use any cellular or GPS devices! Surrender all weapons at once! Attention! This way to the camps!" I woke up in a black FEMA box Darkness was all around me, in my coffin My dreams are all nightmares anymore And this is what I dream every night The Leader of the New World Order, the President of the United States Has declared anyone now residing inside the US of A Without the RFID chip, you're just an illegal alien An enemy combatant of America, welcome to the New World Order This is the end of the road; this is the end of the line This is the end of your life; this is the . . . A society in a society, inside the fence life as you know it stops They got their rules of conduct and we got ours Be quick or be dead, you crumble up and die, the clock is Ticking so slowly and so much can happen in an hour Solo - Chris This is the end of the road; this is the end of the line This is the end of your life; this is the endgame I learned my lessons the hard way, every scar I earned I had to bleed, inside the day yard A system of controlled movement, like a giant ant farm Any time is long time, now you're not in charge of your time anymore Solo - Chris This is the end of the road; this is the end of the line This is the end of your life; this is the end Solo - Chris The Ex-President signed a secret bill that can Land a legal US Citizen in jail and the Patriot act stripped away our constitutional rights They say a Concentration camp just popped up, yeah, right! Solo - Dave Refuse the chip? Ha! Get persecute and beat by the Tyranny of Mind control, for the mark of the beast All rights removed, you're punished, captured, and enslaved Believe me when I say, "This IS the Endgame!" Solo - Dave @SONG: The Hardest Part Of Letting Go... (Music by: Mustaine, Broderick) (Lyrics by: Mustaine) Such a pretty face, radiant I saw you, across the room I knew I had to have you Thus started the chase I knew I would do anything to take Your hand and make you mine But I learned long ago If you love someone you have to let it go The hardest part of letting go Is saying goodbye Goodbye, goodbye --Sealed With A Kiss-- Fettered away in a makeshift cell Beneath the venomous moonlight I unleash my plan to watch you fail The one I held so high Go to sleep my love Taste my sweet revenge on your lips Its sealed with a kiss Solo - Chris I return to the masquerade ball And leave the lone figure weeping Stone by stone, immured in the wall Forever left in safekeeping Go to sleep my love Taste my sweet revenge on your lips Its sealed with a kiss --The Hardest Part Of Letting Go... (continued)-- But I learned long ago If you love someone you have to let it go Let it go, let it go The hardest part of letting go Is saying goodbye Goodbye, goodbye @SONG: Head Crusher (Music by: Mustaine, Drover) (Lyrics by: Mustaine) Time to take your last walk in this world Before your journey begins underground But not before we torment you from your Cell straight to hell with a short detour in-between Begging for mercy, all alone Unable to handle the pressure Before his mortification, now let the torture begin Death by the head crusher, Head Crusher! The horrific torture device For those who fail interrogation The most painful technique ever known People thirst for the worst, the skull's disintegration Beaten, broken, in bloody rags Adding insult to injury, he recants But it's much too late, now let the torture begin Death by the head crusher, Head Crusher! On your knees, prisoner, take your position Place your chin forward into the restraints Your head slowly caves in from the compression You faint in a blackout from the infernal pain Twisting, turning the giant screw Your teeth are breaking loose Crushed and splintering into your mouth Winding down, cutting through Like broken glass being chewed The fragmented skull and shattering bones There's nothing you can do @SONG: How The Story Ends (Mustaine) Far off on the horizon you can barely see their torches 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's 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's slashed and burnt You may not like it now, but this is how the story ends @SONG: The Right To Go Insane (Mustaine) I barely get to the graveyard shift on time After pulling another grueling nine to five I live from credit card to check The paper money's whirling by And I hardly just, just barely, only just survive I'm living on the edge, reality is teetering, my mind is on the brink How will I face the day tomorrow if I can't make it through today? I got nothing left to lose, but my sanity and the right to go insane I got nothing left to lose, but my mind I got nothing left to choose, so I think I'll go insane My stomach aches from insufficient funds My cheeks are gaunt, my guts are overdrawn My head pounds, starvation's given me the shakes Too much squalor, too much pressure, and now I'm getting pissed I'm living on the edge, reality is teetering, my mind is on the brink Chorus Solo - Chris Solo - Dave
