(2:26) @SONG: Insomnia (Mustaine) I'm running in quicksand something's haunting me the guilty past I've buried my mind won't let me sleep I'll do anything for peace - I keep waking up a solemn oath I make cross my heart please let me sleep - I keep waking up how much more do I take My head is talking to me I don't know what it needs but the loudest voice is the one I heed Insomnia, my swollen bloodshot eyes Insomnia, awake till morning light Insomnia, stirring deep inside Insomnia, somebody turn out the lights I can't sleep - insomnia I'm twisting and turning - I keep waking up the madness I must tame my candle is burning - I keep waking up both ends again today The whole house is creaking I know they're out there the things kept from sight I beg to the shadows I can't sleep Insomnia, footsteps on the walk Insomnia, I hear someone knock Insomnia, I wish it was a dream Insomnia, can you hear me scream @SONG: Prince of Darkness (Mustaine/Friedman) My victims are rich of poor, young or old, strong or weak I cause millions of accidents, I am cancer in your bones I fathered the lie, twist what you say, speak not the truth I am insidious, impartial, deep inside your chromosomes I take what you love, and leave you in tears I imprison your soul, your hopes are my games I strip you of pride, my promise is in vain While you burn at the stake I dance with the flames I bring poverty, sickness and death A worthless handshake, the slickest thief, I steal your wealth I answer your prayers for greed and lust More than evil, I laugh at your trust I am more powerful than all the armies of the world I am more violent than violence, more deadly than death I have destroyed more men than all the nation's wars I am relentless, unpredictable, waiting for your last breath Evil, more evil than violence Violent, more violent than death Deadly, more deadly than man I am yeah, yeah, I'm evil I am My kingdom corrupt with dissent Your sins erupt by my intent I loathe your prayer, I wallow in sin Let the nightmare begin Prince of darkness, your satanic highness Prince of darkness, the devilish serpent, the dreaded Lucifer Prince of darkness I take what you love, and leave you in tears Imprison your soul, your hopes are my games I strip you of pride, my promise is in vain While you burn at the stake I dance with the flames Prince of darkness, your satanic highness Prince of darkness, the most beautiful angel Prince of darkness, the devilish serpent, the dreaded Lucifer Prince of darkness, unpredictable, the prince of darkness Prince of darkness @SONG: Enter the Arena (Mustaine/Bud Prager) "Here we go... crush, crush, crush 'em..." @SONG: Crush 'Em (Mustaine/Prager/Friedman) Enter the arena and hit the lights step up now you're in for a ride this is war, ain't no fun and games we get it up, you go down in flames Party time, going down you better not mess us around the stakes are rich, take a hit or stay the price is high, someone's gonna pay Heads I win, tails you lose out of my way I'm coming through roll the dice don't think twice and we crush, crush 'em Looking for trouble, now you've found it you're a drum and we're gonna pound it Last one standing wins the fight hear us scream and shout all night down on the floor and eat the grit this is gonna hurt a little bit Heads I win, tails you lose out of my way I'm coming through roll the dice don't think

Doe to put to shame step aside let me explain the name of the game is pain Now we've found you We're gonna pound you We're gonna beat you Gonna defeat you We're gonna bust you We're gonna crush you We're gonna crush 'em @SONG: Breadline (Mustaine/Prager/Friedman) Ain't got no job Ain't got no smoke Ain't got a car His life's a joke Living on the skids Thinks the world's just fine Forgot what he did Dancing on the breadline No one there to bind him Nothing to remind him Nowhere left to find him About to lose his lifeline He's dancing on the breadline Forgot who he is Forgot who he was Used to call the shots Now he can't connect the dots A mover and shaker Getting closer to his maker Lower than a hemline Dancing on the breadline No one there to bind him Nothing to remind him Nowhere left to find him About to lose his lifeline He's looking for a headline Sniffing up the white lines He's dancing on the breadline Watch him dance About to lose his lifeline He's looking for a headline Sniffing up the white lines He's dancing on the breadline About to lose his lifeline He's dancing on the breadline No one, nothing, nowhere Dancing on the breadline He forgot and he ain't got nothing @SONG: The Doctor Is Calling (Mustaine/Prager/Friedman) The doctor is calling Something's gone wrong Nowhere do I belong I listen to the voices in the dark room Something's going down But I can't make a sound Looking past the bars of my mind The coat of arms falling I hear the doctor calling The family crest is falling I hear the doctor calling Always sharing trips Remove me from your lips Sight and mind still and never go away One too many tantrums Deviated symptoms Better lock the phantom away The coat of arms falling I hear the doctor calling The family crest is falling I hear the doctor calling I see the chalkline crawling I hear the doctor calling me away This place is my home My mind still runs free The doctor's prescription Less for you and more for me The coat of arms falling I hear the doctor calling The family crest is falling I hear the doctor calling I see the chalkline crawling I hear the doctor calling me away A merciful embalming I hear the doctor calling me away @SONG: I'll Be There (Mustaine/Prager/Friedman) 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 @SONG: Wanderlust (Mustaine/Friedman) As sure as the sun rises in the east Another gunman will come seeking my defeat Will he be as fast as me, are his nerves quiet and still Will he fall like all the rest ending his days upon boothill I'm an outcast riding into town alone I got wanderlust branded deeper than the bone I'm an outcast riding into town alone I got a lust for wandering branded deeper than the bone As I ride into the sunset to take another town Thank you for the invite, but I just can't settle down The dust that coats my hat is from a dozen towns Dust from shooting down another dozen clowns I'm an outcast riding into town alone I got wanderlust branded deeper than the bone I'm an outcast riding into town alone I got a lust for wandering branded deeper than the bone A drum beats for me, it's louder every day The cadence tells me that soon I'll meet my judgment day Life's an endless showdown never knowing when they'll come I sleep with one eye open lying with my smoking gun The game I play has caused a lot of grief They were dying for fame, so I obliged them some relief I'm an outcast riding into town alone I got wanderlust branded deeper than the bone I'm an outcast with lightning in my hand I got wanderlust lost in no man's land I got a lust for wandering lost in no man's land I got wanderlust @SONG: Ecstacy (Mustaine/Friedman) You live in a world of fantasy You live in a web of deceit You want it all including me You like it all to be neat I come to you when shadows fall I leave as the dawn arrives Hide the truth to deceive them all How my good intention lies Try to silence the suspicions Feeding the dark inhibitions We can never let anyone see The sin I bring called ecstasy The sin I bring ecstasy Secret meetings that we hide Deeds of iniquity The price of foolish pride The cost of immorality And we hide the truth to deceive them all And the pain of what will never be Try to silence the suspicions Feeding the dark inhibitions We can never let anyone see The sin I bring called ecstasy The sin I bring ecstasy @SONG: Seven (Mustaine/Ellefson) Full of greed you sell your soul Full of pride a heavy load You eat yourself gluttony Resent yourself you envy me Everything turns into wrath You lust yourself to death Deep fears that drive us Hid beneath disguises Judge the world within Forgive my deadly sins Procrastination always giving up Something better comes to interrupt Cast your verdict down to me Spare me your bleeding sympathy Only care how you appear Clearly see you can't see clear Deep fears that drive us Hid beneath disguises Judge the world within Forgive my deadly sins Greed, gluttony, pride, envy, wrath, sloth, death, deadly seven Seven deadly sins of mine On every street And corner lie These seven deadly sins of mine @SONG: Time: The Beginning (Mustaine/Friedman) Father time, I'm running late I'm winding down, I'm growing tired Seconds drift into the night The clock just ticks till my time expires You were once my friend Now I know I can't tie your hands The days I saved I couldn't spend They fell like sand through the hourglass No time to lose, no time to choose Time taking time, it's taken mine Scenes of my life seem so unkind Time chasing time creeps up behind I can't run forever, and time waits for no one Not even me An enemy I can't defend My final place a deadly end Life's just a speck in space Dreams of an eternal resting place I can't get any younger Time has brutal hunger @SONG: Time: The End (Mustaine) I see Chronos His eyes are on fire He holds my life And I see my time expire Beat the clock My head starts to spin Tick, tock I can't let time win
