Megadeth - The System Has Failed By: By.TuRuT Date: February 04, 2010, 01:36:41 PM 1. Blackmail The Universe
This is breaking news It appears air force one was shot down Somewhere over the Middle East this morning By a sleeper cell of rouge terrorists, firing a stinger missile The pilot and all passengers are unaccounted for The presidents whereabouts are presently unknown And he is presumed missing The vice president, secretary of state And principles of the military are assembling Our nation stands at DEFCON 3
The greatest crisis, will someone come for me? I "red, white and blew it." Unleashed revenge, my body is detained How could anybody do this? Betrayal, I peel away the days Medals are useless. Uncle Sam`s forgotten me I`m not important no one will ever come I`ll never be fund, god get me out of this hell.
Nuclear battlefields energised Cold wars are heating up again The tensions mounting People lift up your fists in revenge
The stage is set Who will be the first to blink? We can go to war Remember that "Vietnam thing" Peace at any price
With a gun to your head, bang, bang Weakness runs in your family What runs in mine is death [Solo - Poland]
This is your 5-minute warning Burn all your classified documents And if cooler heads don`t prevail First strike from a political dead man
The will of good men can not counter the terrible strain of war [Solo - Poland] [Solo - Mustaine]
Blackmail the universe with the greatest of calamities Awaken those sleeping giants in the dust of the ground With their skin destroyed, unjust to innocence Lawful possessor of the worlds last 24 hours [Solo - Mustaine]
Terror and ugliness reveal what death really means And in hatred you see men as they really are If chosen over heaven, earth will have been for them All along, only another region of hell.
2. Die Dead Enough
[Solo - Poland]
Its twilight and I wake up hot My body`s soaked in a cold, cold sweat I re-enact the lurid scenes And clawed engravings in my head
Oh, I can`t punch hard enough and I run I can`t kick high enough and I run I can`t shoot straight enough and I run I can`t hold on enough and I run Oh, I can`t stay down enough and I run I can`t take pain enough and I run I can`t bleed fast enough I can`t die dead enough
The air is thick, but the oxygen`s thing My heart is beating like a drum, boom! And ice is flowing through my veins Explosives o my lips and lungs
Oh, I can`t punch hard enough and I run I can`t kick high enough and I run I can`t shoot straight enough and I run I can`t hold on enough and I run Oh, I can`t stay down enough and I run I can`t take pain enough and I run I can`t bleed fast enough I can`t die dead enough
I don`t know what I`m running from And I don`t know where I`m running to There`s just something deep and strange inside of me
I don`t know what I`m running from And I don`t know where I`m running to Something`s just compelling me to run into the dark
And now I`m more driven than before And now I live just to settle score And now I feel the nearness of you breath Now I introduce you to your death
