Megadeth - Holy Wars... The Punishment Due Lyrics

Megadeth - Holy Wars... The Punishment Due Video

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 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, rappel down the rocks
Behind the lines
Some people risk to employ me
Some people live to destroy me
Either way they die, 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, mercy killings, mercy killings, killings, killings, killings
Next thing you know, they'll take my thoughts away

Megadeth - Captive Honour Lyrics

Megadeth - Captive Honour Video

Madness comes, and madness goes
An insane place, with insane moves
Battles without, for battles within
Where evil lives and evil rules
Breaking them up, just breaking them in
Quickest way out, quickest relief wins
Never disclose, never betray
Cease to speak or cease to breathe
And when you kill a man, you're a murderer
Kill many, and you're a conqueror
Kill them all... ooh... oh, you're a god!
 
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury
Have you reached a verdict?
 
Yes, we have, Your Honour, we find the defendant guilty!
On all counts for crimes against all humanity
 
By virtue of the jury's decision
And the power vested in me by the state
I hereby sentence you to be incarcerated
With no possibility of parole for life
 
Life?... Whadda ya mean, life?
I ain't got a life
 
Boy!... Your soul better belong to Jesus!
Hmmm-mmm, 'Cause your ass belongs to me!
 
Captive honour, ain't no honour
 
No time for questions
No time for the games
Start kicking ass
And taking down the names
A long shit list
A shorter fuse
He is untouchable
And guarantees you'll lose
 
Inside the big house
His nightmare unfolds
Before he got there
His man-pussy was sold
Black blanket welcome
This tough guy's now a bitch
Praying for death
It can't be worse than this

Megadeth - Youthanasia Lyrics

Megadeth - Youthanasia Video

Who'd believe with the way things are here
We'd be going anywhere telling people
How to live?
Who'd believe we'd spend more
Shippin' drugs and guns
Than to educate our sons?
Sorry but that's what they did
 
I can't help but think
I can't help but think
I can't help but think
Someone's forsaken you and me
 
Luck deserted me and the truth
Beat out my brains
Men rise on stepping stones of their
Selves to higher things
I've stepped over lots of bodies on my way
Thanks for the information
Don't need no more anything
 
I can't help but think
I can't help but think
I can't help but think
Someone's forsaken you and me
 
We are the damned of all the world
With sadness in our hearts
The wounded of the wars
We've been hung out to dry
You didn't want us anyway
And now we're making up our minds
You tell us how to run our lives
We run for youthanasia
 
We are the damned of all the world
With sadness in our hearts
The wounded of the wars
We've been hung out to dry
You didn't want us anyway
And now we're making up our minds
You tell us how to run our lives
We run for youthanasia
 
We are the damned of all the world
With sadness in our hearts
The wounded of the wars
We run for youthanasia

Megadeth - Trust Lyrics

Megadeth - Trust Video

Lost in a dream
Nothing's what it seems
Searching my head
For the words that you said
 
Tears filled my eyes (eyes)
As we said our last goodbyes
This sad scene replays
Of you walking away
 
My body aches from mistakes
Betrayed by lust
We lied to each other so much
That in nothing we trust
 
Time and again
She repeats let's be friends
I smile and say yes
Another truth bent
I must confess
 
I try to let go, but I know
We'll never end 'till we're dust
We lied to each other again (but I wish I could trust)
But I wish I could trust
 
My body aches from mistakes
Betrayed by lust
We lied to each other so much
That in nothing we trust (in nothing we trust)
 
God help me please, on my knees (on my knees)
Betrayed by lust (by lust)
We lied to each other so much (so much)
Now there's nothing we trust
 
How could this be happening to me?
I'm lying when I say 'trust me'
I can't believe this is true
Trust hurts
Why does trust equal suffering?
Suffering
 
My body aches from mistakes
Betrayed by lust
We lied to each other so much
That in nothing we trust (in nothing we trust)
 
God help me please, on my knees
Betrayed by lust
We lied to each other so much (so much)
Now there's nothing we trust (nothing we trust)
 
My body aches from mistakes
Betrayed by lust (by lust)
We lied to each other so much (lied to each other so much)
That in nothing we trust
 
God help me please (help me please), on my knees
Betrayed by lust (lust)
We lied to each other so much
Absolutely nothing we trust!

Megadeth - Paranoid Lyrics

Megadeth - Paranoid Video

Finished with my woman
'Cause she couldn't help me with my mind
People think I'm insane
Because I am frowning all the time
 
All day long I think of things
But nothing seems to satisfy
Think I'll lose my mind if I don't
Find something to pacify
 
Can you help me, occupy my brain?
Oh yeah
Yeah yeah
 
I need someone to show me
The things in life that I can't find
I can't see the things that make true happiness
I must be blind
 
Make a joke and I will sigh
And you will laugh and I will cry
Happiness I cannot feel
And love to me is so unreal
 
And so as you hear these words
Telling you now of my state
I tell you to enjoy life
I wish I could, but it's too late
It's too late
It's too late
 
(music stops, but drum beat continues)
Dave: Nick. Nick! NICK!!!
(drums stop)
Nick: Fuck... me... running!

Megadeth - Lucretia Lyrics

Megadeth - Lucretia Video

Sitting up late at night
I 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 you're mental any way hey!
Drift into a deeper state
I stalk the cobwebbed stairways
Dirt grits beneath my feet
The stair creaks, I precariously sneak
 
Hypnosis guides my hand
I slipslide 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
