• Sleepwalker

  Sleepwalker

  Music & Lyrics by: Mustaine

  I should be calling collect from jail
  For the things I commit each night in my head
  Like last night in my sleep I got to snuff you
  But then I woke up again, safe in my little bed
  No one is safe when I close my eyes
  I come to take your life
  
  I get to force your untimely disappearance
  Each night in my dreams, when I'm fast asleep
  I close my eyes and you just vanish soon as I
  Lay down my head when I'm dead to the whole wide world
  No one is safe when I close my eyes
  I come to take your life
  And then I wake up and it was all just a dream
  And everything is the same
  
  Sleepwalker - Did I give you concrete shoes?
  And throw you off of a bridge
  Sleepwalker - When I lay down to sleep
  Pray your soul's mine to keep, I feel you near me
  Go to sleep, Sleepwalker
  
  Just taking a stroll; don't go to sleep!
  Here's some toothpicks for your eyes!
  
  You always make an excellent cadaver
  I roll your body up in a carpet to make music in the
  Trunk of my limousine, wrapped up in a rug
  A fitting end, is that I send you up the river like a punk
  No one is safe when I close my eyes
  I come to take your life
  
  The angel of death is pissed off at me again
  Just because I got to put you out of my misery
  It doesn't matter, I am without fear
  Now you're dead, I won't shed another bloody tear for you
  No one is safe when I close my eyes
  I come to take your life
  I'm calling down the thunder, then you'll sleep with the fishes
  The answer to all of my wishes
  
  Sleepwalker - Did I tell you I was in movies?
  Then dump you garroted, lying naked in a ditch
  Sleepwalker - Everyday, another way
  I know you can hear me
  
  Solo - Mustaine
  Solo - Drover
  
  I think you'd look nice in a Colombian necktie
  Should stop your tongue from wagging the dog
  No more stupidity from you, as I pull your tongue through
  For a smile from ear to ear, now there's nothing to hear
  No one is safe when I close my eyes; I come to take your life
  And then I wake up and it was all just a dream
  And everything is still the same
  
  Sleepwalker - Did I give you concrete shoes?
  And throw your body off of a bridge
  Sleepwalker - When I lay down to sleep
  Pray your soul's mine to keep, I feel you near me
  
  Sleepwalker - Or did I tell you I was in movies?
  Then dump you garroted, lying naked in a ditch
  Sleepwalker - Everyday, another way, I know you can hear me
  
  Sleepwalker - Did I buy you the farm?
  Put a horse head in your bed
  Sleepwalker - When I lay down to sleep
  Pray your soul's mine to keep, I feel you near me
  
  Sleepwalker - Everyday
  Everyday another way
  Sleepwalker - When I lay down to sleep
  Pray your soul is mine to keep, I know you can hear me

• Washington Is Next!

  Washington Is Next!

  Music & Lyrics by: Mustaine

  The quiet war has begun with silent weapons
  And the new slavery is to keep the people
  Poor and stupid, "Novus Ordo Seclorum"
  How can there be any logic in biological war?
  We all know this is wrong, but the New World Order's
  Beating down the door, oh something needs to be done
  
  There was a king, an evil king
  Who dreamt the wickedest of dreams
  An ancient mystery, no prophet could interpret
  Of seven years of famine, the wolf is at my door
  As predicted years ago, that that was, that is, that is no more
  The word predicts the future and tells the truth about the past
  Of how the world leaders will hail the new Pharoah
  The eighth false king to the throne; Washington is next!
  
  Disengage their minds, sabotage their health
  Promote sex, and war, and violence in the kindergartens
  Blame the parents and teachers; it's their fault
  "Annuit Coeptis"
  Attack the church dynamic, attack the family
  Keep the public undisciplined till nothing left is sacred and
  The "have-nots" get hooked and have to go to the "haves"
  Just to cop a fix
  
  I am the king, an evil king
  Who dreams the wickedest of dreams
  An ancient mystery, nobody could interpret
  Of seven empires falling, the wolf is at my door
  As predicted years ago, that that was, that is, that is no more
  The word predicts my future and tells the truth about my past
  Of how the world's leaders are waiting to usher in
  The eighth world power of modern Rome; Washington is next!

  There was a king, an evil king
  Who dreamt the wickedest of dreams
  An ancient mystery, no prophet could interpret
  Of seven empires falling, the wolf is at my door
  As predicted years ago, that that was, that is, that is no more
  
  I am a king and I dream the wildest dreams
  And nobody could interpret
  Seven empires falling, the wolf is at my door
  Ohh, that that was, that is, that is no more
  
  Solo - Mustaine
  Solo - Drover
  
  There's something at my door, some ancient mystery
  The future tells the truth about the past
  And I'm the eighth false king to the throne
  I've got you in my crosshairs, now, ain't that a bitch?
  Washington, you're next!
  

• Never Walk Alone... A Call to Arms

  Never Walk Alone... A Call to Arms

  Music & Lyrics by: Mustaine/G. Drover

  Hiding in any doorway, in any shadow
  Any place where danger waits to kill my time
  There is one who loves and waits, to seal your fate
  As sure as you live and die
  
  When you feel that something's wrong
  I'll shelter you and keep you warm
  I'll never let you walk alone
  I loved you when you still hated me
  I'm coming and it won't be long
  Time to reap what I have sown
  Never ever let you walk alone
  I know your enemy, it once was me
  
  Solo - Drover
  
  Let me wrap my arms all around you
  Suffer the trespasses that you've made
  I will drink your pain away, forever and a day
  If you just call out my name - even whisper it
  
  When you feel that something's wrong
  I'll shelter you and keep you warm
  I'll never let you walk alone
  I loved you when you still hated me
  I'm coming and it won't be long
  Time to reap what I have sewn
  Never ever let you walk alone
  I know your enemy, it once was me

• United Abominations

  United Abominations

  Music & Lyrics by: Mustaine

  Less than five miles from Ground Zero sits an International hotbed, the United 'Abominations' as it were. Created to prevent wars and promote peace, it failed to address the most dangerous threats facing the world.
  
  In a mire of hypocrisy, bribes, kickbacks, and corruption, the UN enables terrorism, and ignores sex crimes by its peacekeepers. The UN is where our so-called allies undermine us, and we pay 22% of their tab to host our enemies here at home.
  
  Ambassadors from dirt-poor countries enjoy luxurious, tax-free Manhattan lifestyles, turning children into sex-slaves and enjoy Diplomatic immunity. It's a complete and utter disgrace, a blot on the face of humanity, and they get away with it.
  
  Poverty in their kitchens
  Held hostage by oil-for-food
  Yet their own plates are full off the fat of their lands
  There's no blood on their hands, right Kojo?
  They promised to tell the truth
  Without leaving a fingerprint, but
  They will lose the UN one way or another
  The victim, I fear will be us, sisters and brothers
  
  The UN is right; you can't be any more 'un'
  Than you are right now, the UN is undone
  Another mushroom cloud, another smoking gun
  The threat is real, the Locust King has come
  Don't tell me the truth; I don't like what they've done
  Just give me ammo for the United Abominations
  
  A grave and gathering danger
  The decision to attack
  Based on secret intelligence it'll take years
  I fear to undo the failings in Iraq
  You may bury the bodies
  But you can't bury the crimes only
  Fools stand up and really lay down their arms
  No, not me, not when Death lasts forever
  
  The UN is right; you can't be any more 'un'
  Than you are right now, the UN is undone
  Another mushroom cloud, another smoking gun
  The threat is real, the Locust King has come
  Don't tell me the truth; I don't like what they've done
  Just give me ammo for the United Abominations
  
  The UN is right; you can't be any more 'un'
  Than you are right now, the UN is undone
  Another mushroom cloud, another smoking gun
  The threat is real, the Locust King has come
  Don't tell me the truth; I don't like what they've done
  Just give me ammo for the United Abominations
  
  NATO invaded Yugoslavia to end ethnic cleansing, there was no UN
  The US invaded Afghanistan after 9/11, there was no UN
  Saddam Hussein violated 17 UN resolutions; The UN was asked to join the war in Iraq. The US invaded, there was no UN
  Libya bombed a discotheque in Berlin killing Americans, there was no UN
  Iran funds Hamas, and attacked the US in the seventies, there was no UN
  Facing War without end, looking into the future, there was no more UN
  

• Gears of War

  Gears of War

  Music & Lyrics by: Mustaine

  Ethnic cleansing with no defending
  These acts of genocide
  A fatal ending with no surrendering
  To cover up the crimes and lie
  
  Smart bombs, precision guided armament
  A more sophisticated way to end up dead
  Still we search and invent such intelligent weapons
  That kill each other like the gears of war, hoo-rah!!!
  
  Gears of war
  
  If you ride with thieves, then you die with thieves
  Cross my heart and hope that you die!
  When the smoke has cleared, the devil's in the mirror
  And you see his warheads paint the sky, now you die!
  
  Smart bombs, precision guided armament
  A more sophisticated way to end up dead
  Still we search and invent such intelligent weapons
  That kill each other like the Gears of War

• Blessed Are the Dead

  Blessed Are the Dead

  Music & Lyrics by: Mustaine

  A great sign appeared
  Under the stars and the moon
  Sounds of galloping horses
  On clouds of lightning and thunder
  A dark gathering storm
  To scorch the earth for many generations
  A nuclear winter
  Worse than any cold or holy war
  
  A white horse on the clouds of death
  A red warhorse to end all wars
  A pale horse and pestilence led
  by a black horse with famine and scales
  
  The doctrine of hatred, nation will rise against nation
  Wash me in blood and let me be the first born of the dead
  
  A crowned rider with arrows and bow
  A red rider with a great firey sword
  Plagues from the one colored death
  Horror and apocalypse follows
  
  Ride, won't you four horsemen ride again
  Before this kingdom's blown to kingdom come
  Ride, I hold fast to what I believe till I see my name in stone
  Blessed are the dead, that they may rest
  
  A white horse on the clouds of death
  A red warhorse to end all wars
  A pale horse and pestilence led
  By a black horse with famine and scales
  
  The synagogue of Satan
  Nation will rise against nation
  Wash me in blood and let me be
  The firstborn of the dead
  
  A crowned rider with arrows and bow
  A red rider with a great firey sword
  Plagues from the one called death
  Horror and apocalypse follows
  
  Ride, won't you four horsemen ride again
  Before this kingdom is blown to kingdom come
  Ride, I hold fast to what I believe till I see my name in stone
  Blessed are the dead

• Play for Blood

  Play for Blood

  Music & Lyrics by: Mustaine

  Solo - Mustaine
  
  Anybody searching for action
  Anything to feel the emptiness inside
  Any place that the streets are empty
  Any takers wanna pour out their lives
  With fire and lighting shooting from my hand
  And desolation written across my eyes
  My itchy finger on hairpin trigger
  My tempers hot and my patience's taken flight
  
  Solo - Drover
  Solo - Mustaine
  
  Inside the abattoir
  The cover charge is somebody's gotta die
  Now, I hear you screaming out for mercy
  Last man that's standing wins the fight
  Too late, I see your end zero in on you
  Even mortal enemies they can't deny
  Let me help you up again
  The wings of God surround me
  I live to play because I know I'll never die
  
  Solo - Drover
  Solo - Mustaine
  Solo - Drover
  Solo - Mustaine
  
  If I win again, I'm still the champion
  And if you win, ha, that's just impossible!
  I don't play for keeps; I don't play for your soul
  I don't play to win, I don't play for it all
  I play for blood
  
  Solo - Mustaine

  I don't play for keeps, I play for blood

• À Tout le Monde (Set Me Free)

  À Tout le Monde (Set Me Free)

  Music & Lyrics by: Mustaine

  Don't remember where I was
  I realized life was a game
  The more seriously I took things
  The harder the rules became
  I had no idea what it'd cost
  My life passed before my eyes
  I found out how little I accomplished
  All my plans denied
  
  So as you read this know my friends
  I'd love to stay with you all
  Please smile when you think of me
  My body's gone that's all
  
  À tout le monde, À tout mes amis
  Je vous aime, je dois partir
  These are the last words I'll ever speak
  And they'll set me free
  
  If my heart was still alive
  I know it would surely break
  And my memories left with you
  There's nothing more to say
  Moving on is a simple thing
  
  What it leaves behind is hard
  You know the sleeping feel no more pain
  And the living all are scarred
  
  À tout le monde, À tout mes amis
  Je vous aime, je dois partir
  These are the last words I'll ever speak
  And they'll set me free
  
  Solo - Drover
  
  So as you read this know my friends
  I'd love to stay with you all
  Please smile, smile when you think about me

  These are the last words I'll ever speak
  And they'll set me free
  

• Amerikhastan

  Amerikhastan

  Music & Lyrics by: Mustaine

  Recruiting the ill-fated for "The War"
  A legion of uneducated, bankrupt souls
  With a lust for revenge, answering the call
  From New Yorqatar to Califarabia
  
  Desperation provides fertile ground for religious extremism
  This glorious brainwashing where prejudice lies
  Like a crouching tiger
  Tormenting peasants till they erect an army
  Under everyone's nose
  In the end propaganda destroys their DNA, God help them
  
  Solo - Drover
  Solo - Mustaine
  
  All that they envisioned of what things would come to be
  Turned into a pink mist when they blew to smithereens
  We are just a war away from Amerikhastan
  When God versus God; the undoing of man
  
  Promising a vapor, in the end they become one
  
  Solo - Drover
  
  No rules of engagement, this enemy hides
  Amongst women and children
  And to beat violence, you must ignore the focus groups
  You must send in the Mossad, turn of the BBC, CNN
  And don't look back
  Rest assured there'll be no more Middle Eastern crisis, hell!
  There'll be no more Middle East!
  
  These are your people Lady Liberty
  Pull up your dress today
  And tattooed is "Property of the USA
  A subsidiary of Halliburton"
  Surprise?
  But a roaring lion is about to be unleashed on earth
  Hey, Jihad Joe? Guess what? We're coming to get you!
  
  Solo - Drover
  Solo - Mustaine
  
  All that you envisioned of what things will come to be
  Turns into a death knell when you look behind the scenes
  We are just a war away from Amerikhastan
  When God versus God; the undoing of man

• You're Dead

  You're Dead

  Music & Lyrics by: Mustaine

  When someone becomes nothing to anyone
  Whilst feelings have died, anyone would know it
  They set out stick and stones
  They say they'd crush my bones
  I say, I don't get mad, I get even, before they do
  
  Spoils go to the victor and dead on time
  Your time is going to come
  
  One day I'll dance on your graves
  Even if you're buried at sea
  Till then, till when I exact my revenge
  I'll tell them, "You're dead to me"
  
  Solo - Drover
  
  We're all just trying to hold on to innocence
  You'd think they'd know that's what we're trying to do
  These wounds are invisible
  Underneath the dirt I still see the scars
  Back then when things got bad
  And we spread our wings and fly away
  
  You'll take all of your riches in the back of a hearse
  Your time is going to come
  
  One day I'll dance on your grave
  Even if you're buried at sea
  Till then, till when I exact my revenge
  I'll tell them, "You're dead to me"
  
  Solo - Drover
  Solo - Mustaine
  
  One day I'll dance on your grave
  Even if you're buried at sea
  Till then, till when I exact my revenge
  
  One day I'll dance on your grave
  Even if you're buried at sea
  Till then, till when I exact my revenge
  I'll tell them, "you're dead to me"

  He said he'd try just a little bit
  Solo - Mustaine
  He didn't want to end up like them
  Solo - Drover
  And now he blames the voices of a toothless wonder
  Solo - Mustaine
  Pounding on the door to make the next score
  
  Solo - Mustaine
  
  Anything for a hit, any sin to pay for it
  For that next bowl, he'd sell his soul
  
  Spiral to destruction, it's too late to break the spell
  He wants the ride to stop on the freight train straight to Hell
  Without the truth he'll never find in a dungeon of his lies
  His cause of death... high speed on burnt ice
  
  Solo - Mustaine
  
  Always looking at the ground. a broken, beaten man
  Memories of his family are calling after him
  He can hardly think, hardly walk
  Phone keeps ringing, he can't talk
  With just one hit the pain would go away
  But he's dead if he does
  
  Solo - Drover
  Solo - Mustaine
  Solo - Drover
  
  Shadow people follow him everywhere he goes
  Looking over his shoulder, the paranoia grows

• Out on the Tiles [Japan Bonus Track]

  Out on the Tiles [Japan Bonus Track]

  Music & Lyrics by: Jimmy Page/John Bonham/Robert Plant

  As I walk down the highway all I do is sing this song
  And a train that's passin' my way helps the rhythm move along
  There is no doubt about the words are clear
  The voice is strong, is oh so strong
  
  I'm just a simple guy, I live from day to day
  A ray of sunshine melts my frown and blows my blues away
  There's nothing more that I can say but on a day like today
  I pass the time away and walk a quiet mile with you
  
  All I need from you is all your love
  All you got to give to me is all your love
  All I need from you is all your love
  All you got to give to me is all your love
  Oh yeah, oh yeah
  Oh yeah, oh yeah
  
  I'm so glad I'm living and gonna tell the world I am
  I got me a fine woman and she says that I'm her man
  One thing that I know for sure gonna give her all the loving
  Like nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody can
  
  Standing in the noonday sun trying to flag a ride
  People go and people come, see my rider right by my side
  It's a total disgrace, they set the pace, it must be a race
  And the best thing I can do is run
  
  All I need from you is all your love
  All you got to give to me is all your love
  All I need from you is all your love
  All you got to give to me is all your love
  Oh yeah, oh yeah
  Oh yeah, oh yeah
  Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
