Megadeth – The Scorpion

My life is everything

That feeds my thirst that causes sin

My wants are all I care

No shame and guilt, there’s nothing there

Look deep into my face

I sell deceit without a trace

Fear not what I can do

Unless you want it done to you, oh-ohhh!

As I climb onto your back, I will promise not to sting

I will tell you 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’s black as coal like a bullet hole

Fear not, get off your knees

There’s no defense, you’ll do what I please, oh-oh!

As I climb onto your back, I will promise not to sting

I will tell you 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

As I climb onto your back, I will promise not to sting

I will tell you what you want to hear and not mean anything

I will treat you like a dog as I shoot my venom in

‘Cause you knew all along I am a scorpion, ya!

My lies, to reach the shore

I aggrandize and nothing more

My hopes, to steal away

All that you love, I’ll soon betray

Look deep into my past

The pain I deal is unsurpassed

I’m not a lowly scorpion

I’m so much worse; I’m the fall of man
