Megadeth

Today I may bleed, but tonight you will die
Snatched in your sleep, in the blackest night
You buried the truth under layers of lies
There's no return, now you've crossed the line

Push me, I push you back
Tipping Point
Tipping Point

Hiding your secrets out in plain sight
Dead men don't talk and bullets don't lie
Watching the life drain out from your eyes
Crossing my heart, how I hope you will die

Push me, I push you back
Tipping Point
Tipping Point

I will invade your mind
Make you fear the sound
Of voices that aren't there
With no one else around
You try to stop the footsteps
And stop the heart that beats
You will beg for silence
You will pray for peace, woah

You won't defy me, you won't deny me
I'm at my tipping point
You won't define me, you'll never find me
I'm at my tipping point
You won't defy me, you won't deny me
I'm at my tipping point
You won't define me, you'll never find me
I'm at my tipping point

I don’t care if I'm out of line
I don't care ‘cause this life is mine
I don't care, you don't like what I say
I don't care and I won't obey
I don't care if you're getting high
I don't care when the truth is a lie
I don't care when the rope gets tight
I don't care if you live or die
I don't care what the headline said
I don't care if all hope is dead
I don't care if I'm not your class
I don't care, you can kiss my ass

He was a hater and a thief, a maggot in dead meat
A traitor and a creep, a jack-off and a sheep
You know a rat never learns, you get what you deserve
You gotta know that I just don't care

You gotta know, gotta know, gotta know
You gotta know, gotta know, gotta know
You gotta know, gotta know, gotta know
You gotta know, gotta know, gotta know

I don't care if you're standing tall
I don't care if you take the fall
I don't care who you try to blame
I don't care, I don't play that game
I don't care if you're wrong or right
I don't care if you came to fight
I don't care if you call my bluff
I don't care, enough is enough

He was a hater and a thief, a maggot in dead meat
A traitor and a creep, a jack-off and a sheep
You know a rat never learns, you get what you deserve
You gotta know that I just don't care

He was a hater and a thief, a maggot in dead meat
A traitor and a creep, a jack-off and a sheep
You know a rat never learns, you get what you deserve
You gotta know that I just don't care

You gotta know, gotta know, gotta know
You gotta know, gotta know, gotta know
You gotta know, gotta know, gotta know
You gotta know, gotta know, gotta know

Hey, God
I need a minute of your time
I know that I've been missing lately
I've had a lot of things on my mind

Hey, God
I feel my life slipping away
There's so much left I wanna do
The years are passing by like days

Sometimes, I feel so insecure
As I walk these streets alone

Hey, God
It feels like you're so far away
I know that it was me that moved
I never had that much to say

Hey, God
I don't know why you care at all
I'm always taking up your time
I'm always missing when you call

Sometimes, I feel so insecure
As I walk these streets alone
So alone

Hey, God
I always take, I never give
I know it doesn't look so good
But it ain't the way I wanna live

Hey, God
That's all I really got for now
I thought that we'd have more to say
Please, let me know you're there somehow

Sometimes, I feel so insecure
As I walk these streets alone
Sometimes, I feel so insecure
As I walk these streets alone

Can you hear me?
Hey, God?
Hey, God

The stage has been lit, get up on your feet
Hearts start to pound, everyone, get off your seat
My fingers spontaneously combust into flames
Destroying pretenders, only ashes remains

On the day I was born, a guitar in my hands
The earth started rumbling a thunderous command
To bash and to thrash, to bang my head
To smash my guitar, let there be shred

The amps start to roar, a tsunami of sound
Controlling the air, shaking the ground
Guitars are all screaming, they squeal with delight
Clawing fretboards away at the speed of light

On the day I was born, a guitar in my hands
The earth started rumbling a thunderous command
To bash and to thrash, to bang my head
To smash my guitar, and let there be shred

At the end of it all, they are left in my wake
One by one they'd fall, one by one they'd break
Faster than lightning, a machine gun on meth
Dead on arrival, a guitar beat to death

On the day I was born, a guitar in my hands
The earth started rumbling a thunderous command
To bash and to thrash, to bang my head
To smash my guitar, and let there be shred

I punch your clock, I play a role
But, every day, it's the same
The party's loud, and the drinks are cold
But nothing dulls the pain
I bite my tongue and sell the lie
Pretend that I belong
Another shot, another high, make it a double
And make it strong

No voice, no choice
You must obey

When the blood runs cold
In the plans we've made
Where the strings are pulled
And the traps are laid
Where the lies are truth
And our lives are trade
As we march in line
In a puppet parade

I ride the edge, I twist the blade
Just try to spark a flame
But all the colors start to fade
And blur into the same
They say I've got it all, yeah right
A king without a crown
But when I crash against the floor
I barely make a sound

No voice, no choice
You must obey

When the blood runs cold
In the plans we've made
Where the strings are pulled
And the traps are laid
Where the lies are truth
And our lives are trade
As we march in line
In a puppet parade

Strings, tied to my back
Must smile like a hangman, I know it's an act
It's a curse, tied to charade
As they dance for the crowd, in a puppet parade

Woke up on the floor again
No idea just where I've been
My phone is dead, and the rent is due
I lost my job, and I lost a tooth

It's just another bad day, another bad day
Another bad day, it's just another bad day

Tried so hard to keep things straight
But every move just tempts my fate
"You" moved on, and "I" stayed behind
Trapped in a life I can't rewind

It's just another bad day, another bad day
Another bad day, it's just another bad day

My life's a mess, but I call it mine
Dusted dreams in a cluttered mind
Every scar is a line I drew
Of everything that you put me through

It's just another bad day, another bad day
Another bad day, it's just another bad day

It's just another bad day, another bad day
Another bad day, it's just another bad day

Born to lose, trained to fight
Hates the dark, defends the light
Taught to pray, yet made to kill
Life's a game, do as thou wilt

Wave the flag, then torch the town
Come in peace, then burn it down

Smoke and fire, choke the dawn
Every trace of life is gone
Hot sun, the desert war
Blood for gold, and guns will roar
Red skies, bombs fall
Black smoke, a nation crawls
Fight for crude and oil fields
The mighty fall and the people kneel

Drones above in desert skies
Truth is sold in streaming lies
Profits grow while children die
The people know that they won't survive

Burning maps, foreign lands
Kings all drink the blood-soaked sand
Votes are cast in smoke and steel
You say, "We the people…?" What's the deal?

Wave the flag, then torch the town
Come in peace, then burn it down

Cold eyes, dead hands
The greedy own the desert lands
Rusty tanks, Saharan rain
Fleeting hope, and "coming pain"
Crack a smile, bite your tongue
Play the fool or die too young
Iron mist on golden dunes
Freedom fades underneath the moons

Drones above in desert skies
Truth is sold in streaming lies
Profits grow while children die
The people know that they won't survive

A cracked horizon and silent screams
There's burned-out cities that haunt my dreams
And there's ghosts in the gears of the war machine
It feeds on faith, but it bleeds gasoline

And the pawns will rise
And empires fall
As the days unwind
Obey the call

False crusaders dressed in red
And they write their laws with molten lead
Frostbitten prayers and coded lies
As we march down the path where all reason dies

And the pawns will rise
And empires fall
As the days unwind
Obey the call

And the pawns will rise
And empires fall
As the days unwind
Obey the call

Obey the call

I know me, I know myself
I do not fear countless battles ahead
I will win, then I go to war
Swifter than the wind, and attack like fire

I am war, I am hurt and pain
I am misery, I am loss and sorrow
I am war

To know you, I become you
Knowing every fear of each of my enemies
You go to war, then seek to win
Appearing strong when clearly you are weak

I am war, I am hurt and pain
I am misery, I am loss and sorrow
I am war

I am war, I am hurt and pain
I am misery, I am loss and sorrow
I am war

I am war, I am hurt and pain
I am misery, I am loss and sorrow
I am war...

One more spotlight starts to fade to black
One more winding road that I won't come back
The roar I lived for, it starts to die
And now it's time for me to say the long goodbye

Each mile, the road has worn me thin
Each song has got beneath my skin
The strings and amps still scream and cry
And I can't outrun the spinning hands of time

One last night before the silence falls
One last chord to echo through these walls

The final curtain falls, a quiet end to it all
Now it's just memories in my mind
Just fading lights and names, if I ever play again
Then let this last note never die

I burned up my youth almost every night
Each show became a battle and a fight
Raised on chaos, fed by the crowd
The guitar got heavy, time to lay it down

One last night before the silence falls
One last chord to echo through these walls

The final curtain falls, a quiet end to it all
Now it's just memories in my mind
Just fading lights and names, if I ever play again
Then let this last note never die

The final curtain falls, a quiet end to it all
Now it's just memories in my mind
Just fading lights and names, if I ever play again
Then let this last note never die

The final curtain falls, a quiet end to it all
Now it's just memories in my mind
Just fading lights and names, if I ever play again
Then let this last note never die
Never die

They gave me gold, they gave me a name
But every deal was signed in blood and flames
So here's my last will, my final testament, my sneer
I came, I ruled, now I disappear

Guilty as charged, but damn it, it ain't right
There's someone else controlling me
Death in the air
Strapped in the electric chair
This can't be happening to me
Who made you, God, to say
"I'll take your life from you"?

Flash before my eyes
Now it's time to die
Burning in my brain
I can feel the flame

Wait for the sign to flick the switch of death
It's the beginning of the end
Sweat, chilling cold
As I watch death unfold
Consciousness, my only friend
My fingers grip with fear
What am I doing here?

Flash before my eyes
Now it's time to die
Burning in my brain
I can feel the flame

Someone help me
Oh, please, God, help me
They're trying to take it all away
I don't want to die (Die)

Someone help me
Oh, please, God, help me
They're trying to take it all away
I don't want to die (Die)

Time moving slow, the minutes seem like hours
The final curtain call I see
How true is this?
Just get it over with
If this is true, just let it be
Wakened by horrid scream
Freed from this frightening dream

Flash before my eyes
Now it's time to die
Burning in my brain
I can feel the flame

One shot, one kill
No names, no remorse
Killing is his business... and it comes with deadly force
A ghost in a black book, that's been erased from the files
He has no fingerprints
And he'll charm you with his guile

A knife, a garrote
It's silent and it's clean
C4, dynamite
You're blown to smithereens
Poison, or a pistol
No mercy in his veins
He's nobody's hero

His nerves are all twitching
His eyes are cold as lead
A razor blade in a head shape, and a bomb under the bed
No trial, no witnesses
No sense to confess
A black-suited viper, with venom on his breath

A knife, a garrote
It's silent and it's clean
C4, dynamite
You're blown to smithereens
Poison, or a pistol
No mercy in his veins
He's nobody's hero

They altered his face
With plastic surgery
They took away his dog tags
And burned all his I.D
He's a myth, with a vengeance
He walks where nobody goes
His name is forbidden, it's one we'll never know

A knife, a garrote
It's silent and it's clean
C4, dynamite
You're blown to smithereens
Poison, or a pistol
No mercy in his veins
He's nobody's hero

He was immortal
Born in hell through bitter pain
Feeds off a stolen pulse
And dines on human remains

He's haunted by the sun, forever on the run
Cursed with a thirst that drives him on

Eternal ecstasy
Bloodlust
Exquisite majesty
Bloodlust

Bleeding the rich or poor
He felt his heart go cold and numb
He died without a face
No mirror can show what he’s become

His eyes reflect the grave
No soul left there to save
Cursed with a thirst that drives him on

Eternal ecstasy
Bloodlust
Exquisite majesty
Bloodlust

Beyond the reach of kings
Where God forgets all things
Cursed with a thirst that drives him on

Eternal ecstasy

Bloodlust
Exquisite majesty
Bloodlust
Eternal ecstasy
Bloodlust
Exquisite majesty
Bloodlust
