Megadeth – Rust In Peace

Eklenme Tarihi: 12.12.2024

1. Holy Wars…The Punishment Due

Brother will kill brother

Spilling blood across the land

Killing for religion

Something I don`t understand

Fools like me, who cross the sea

And come to foreign lands

Ask the sheep, for their beliefs

Do you kill on God`s command?

A country that`s divided

Surely will not stand

My past erased, no more disgrace

No foolish naive stand

The end is near, it`s crystal clear

Part of the master plan

Don`t look now to Israel

It might be in your homelands

Holy wars

Upon my podium, as the

Know it all scholar

Down in my seat of judgement

Gavel`s bang, uphold the law

Up on my soapbox, a leader

Out to change the world

Down in my pulpit as the holier

Than-thou-could-be-messenger of God

Wage the war on organized crime

Sneak attacks, repel down the rocks

Behind the lines

Some people risk to employ me

Some people live to destroy me

Either way they die.

They killed my wife, and my baby

With hopes to enslave me

First mistake…last mistake!

Paid by the alliance, to slay all the giants

Next mistake…no more mistakes!

Fill the cracks in, with judicial granite

Because I don`t say it, don`t mean I ain`t

Thinkin`it

Next thing you know, they`ll take my thoughts away

I know what I said, now I must scream of the overdose

And the lack of mercy killings.

2. Hangar 18

Welcome to our fortress tall

Take some time to show you around

Impossible to break these walls

For you see the steel is much too strong

Computer banks to rule the world

Instruments to sight the stars

Possibly I`ve seen too much

Hangar 18 I know too much.

Foreign life forms inventory

Suspended State of cryogenics

Selective amnesia`s the story

Believed foretold but who`d suspect

The military intelligence

Two words combined that can`t make sense

Possibly I`ve seen too much

Hangar 18 I know too much.

3. Take No Prisoners

Got on chance, infiltrate them

Get it right, terminate them

The Panzers will, permeate them

Break their pride, denigrate them

And their people, retrograde them

Typhus, detriate them

Epidemic, devastate them

Take no prisoners, cremate them

Going to war, give `em hell

D-Day, next stop Normandie

Beginning of the end

WE know how to and sure as shit we`ll win

War is peace sure man

A retreat for the damned

A playground for the demented

A haven for those who walk this world

Bereft of heart and soul

Love and war they say all is fair

Take his life

But won`t take his hair

Your body has parts your

Country can spare

By the way son here`s

Your wheelchair

He once had to be all he could be

Now he`s nothing for no one nowhere to see

Funny thing, he`s like you & me

It`s a funny thing, a funny thing

Tears streak his solemn stare

Abandoned for wreckage nobody cares

No one knew what would happen there

No one spoke no one even dared

Don`t ask what you can do for you country

Ask what your country can do for you

Take no prisoners, take no shit

4. Five Magics

Bestow upon me knowledge

Wizard – all knowing all wise

I want to rule this kingdom

Make sweet the breeze now defiled

Dethrone the evil prince`s iron fist

In velvet gloves of sin

Parade the grey robed monks

The vestal virgins, wheel the wyvern`s in

Let the ceremony

consecrate the marriage

Let me be the protege

Of five magics

Give me alchemy

Wizardry

Sorcery

Thermatology

Electricity

Magic if you please

Master all of these

Bring him to his knees

I master five magics

Possessed with hellish torment

I master magic “5”

Hunting the abyss lord

Only one will stay alive

He who lives by the sword

Will surely also die

He who lives in sin

Will surely live the lie

5. Poison Was The Cure

I miss the warm embrace I felt

First time you touched me

Secure and safe in open arms

I should have known you`d crush me

A snake you were when we met

I loved you anyway

Pulling out your poisoned fangs

The venom never goes away

Serpent swims free in my blood

Dragons sleeping in my veins

Jackyl speaking with tongue

Roach egg laying in my brain

Once stalked beneath your shadow

Sleepwalking to the gallows

I`m the sun that beats your brow in

Til I finally threw the towel in

Never knowing if I`d wake up in a

Whirlpool got redundant

My brain was just some driftwood

In a cesspool I became dead

From a rock star to a desk fool

Was my destiny someone said

Loves a tidepool

Taste the waters life`s abundant

Taste me

6. Lucretia

Sitting up late at night

A tiptoe through the darkness

Cold as hell black as spades

Aware of my immediate surrounding

In my place I escape

Up into my hideout

Hiding from everyone

My friends all say

Dave your mental anyway hey!

Drift into a deeper state

I stalk a cobwebbed stairways

Dirt grits beneath me feet

The stair creaks, I precariously sneak

Hypnosis guides my hand

I slipside through the walkways

Sit in granny`s rockin` chair

Memories are whirling by yeah

Reminisce in the attic

Lucretia waits impatiently

Cobwebs make me squint

The cobra so eloquently glints

Moonbeams surge through the sky

The crystal ball`s energized

Surely that like the cat waiting

Lucretia rocks away

7. Tornado Of Souls

This morning I made the call

The one that ends it all

Hanging up, I wanted to cry

Bu dammit, this well`s gone dry

Not for the money, not for the fame

Not for the power, just no more games

But now I`m safe in the eye of the tornado

I can`t replace the lies, that let a 1000 days go

No more living trapped inside

In her way I`ll surely die

In the eye of the tornado, blow me away

You`ll grow to loathe my name

You`ll hate me just the same

You won`t need your breath

And soon you`ll meet your death

Not from the years, not from the use

Not from the tears, just self abuse

Who`s to say what`s for me to say…be…do

Cause a big nothing it`ll be for me

The land of opportunity

The golden chance for me

My future looks so bright

Now I think I`ve seen the light

Can`t say what`s on my mind

Can`t do what I really feel

In this bed I made for me

Is where I sleep, I really feel

I warn you of the fate

Proven true to late

Your tongue twist perverse

Come drink now of this curse

And now I fill your brain

I spin you round again

My poison fills your head

As I tuck you into bed

You feel my fingertips

You won`t forget my lips

You`ll feel my cold breath

It`s the kiss of death

8. Dawn Patrol

Thermal count is rising

In perpetual writhing

The primordial ooze

And the sanity they lose

Awakened in the morning

To more air pollution warnings

Still we sleepwalk off to work

While our nervous systems jerk

Pretending not to notice

How history had forebode us

With the green house in effect

Our environment was wrecked

Now I can only laugh

As I read our epitaph

We end our lives as moles

In the dark of dawn patrol

9. Rust In Peace…Polaris

Tremble you weakings, cower in fear

I am your ruler, land, sea and air

Immense in my girth, erect I stand tall

I am nuclear murderer I am Polaris

Ready to pounce at the touch of a button

My systems locked in on military gluttons

I rule on land, air and sea

Pass judgement on humanity

Winds blow from the bowels of hell

Will we give warnings, only time will tell

Satan rears his ugly head, to spit into the wind

I spread disease like a dog

Discharge my payload a mile high

Rotten egg air of death wrestles your nostrils

Launch the Polaris, the end doesn`t scare us

When will this cease

THe warheads will all rust in peace

Bomb shelters filled to the brim

Survival such a silly whim

World leaders sell missiles cheap

Your stomach turns, your flesh creeps

High priests of holocaust, fire from the sea

Nuclear winter spreading disease

The day of final conflict

All pay the price

The third world war

Rapes peace, takes life

Back to the start, talk of the part

When the Earth was cold as ice

Total dismay as the sun passed away

And the days where black as night

Eradication of Earth`s

Population loves Polaris
