"Insomnia"
m. and l. Dave Mustaine
Risk (1999)
I'm running in quicksand, something's haunting me
The guilty past I've buried, my mind won't let me sleep
I'll do anything for peace - I keep waking up, a solemn oath I make
Cross my heart please let me sleep - I keep waking up, how much more do I take
My head is talking to me, I don't know what it needs
But the loudest voice is the one I heed
Insomnia, my swollen bloodshot eyes, insomnia, awake till morning light
Insomnia, stirring deep inside, insomnia, somebody turn out the lights
I can't sleep - insomnia
I'm twisting and turning - I keep waking up, the madness I must tame
My candle is burning - I keep waking up, both ends again today
The whole house is creaking, I know they're out there
The things kept from sight, I beg to the shadows, I can't sleep
Insomnia, footsteps on the walk, insomnia, I hear someone knock
Insomnia, I wish it was a dream. insomnia, can you hear me scream?
Insomnia, my swollen bloodshot eyes, insomnia, awake till morning light
Insomnia, stirring deep inside, insomnia, somebody turn out the lights
I keep waking up, insomnia, I can't sleep
"Prince of Darkness"
m. Dave Mustaine and Marty Friedman
l. Dave Mustaine
Risk (1999)
My victims are rich or poor, young or old, strong or weak
I cause millions of accidents, I am cancer in your bones
I fathered the lie, twist what you say, speak not the truth
I am insidious, impartial, deep inside your chromosomes
I take what you love, and leave you in tears
I imprison your soul, your hopes are my games
I strip you of pride, my promise is in vain
While you burn at the stake I dance with the flames
I bring poverty, sickness and death
A worthless handshake, the slickest thief, I steal your wealth
I answer your prayers for greed and lust
More than evil, I laugh at your trust
I am more powerful than all the armies of the world
I am more violent than violence, more deadly than death
I have destroyed more men than all the nation's wars
I am relentless, unpredictable, waiting for your last breath
Evil, more evil than violence, violent, more violent than death
Deadly, more deadly than man, I am yeah, yeah, I'm evil I am
My kingdom corrupt with dissent, your sins erupt by my intent
I loathe your prayer, I wallow in sin, let the nightmare begin
Prince of darkness, your satanic highness
Prince of darkness, the devilish serpent, the dreaded Lucifer
Prince of darkness
I take what you love, and leave you in tears
Imprison your soul, your hopes are my games
I strip you of pride, my promise is in vain
While you burn at the stake I dance with the flames
My kingdom corrupt with dissent, your sins erupt by my intent
I loathe your prayer, I wallow in sin, let the nightmare begin
Prince of darkness, your satanic highness
Prince of darkness, the most beautiful angel
Prince of darkness, the devilish serpent, the dreaded Lucifer
Prince of darkness, unpredictable, the prince of darkness
Prince of darkness

"Here we go... crush, crush, crush 'em..."
"Crush 'Em"
m. Dave Mustaine and Marty Friedman
l. Dave Mustaine and Bud Prager
Risk (1999)
Enter the arena and hit the lights, step up now you're in for a ride
This is war, ain't no fun and games, we get it up, you go down in flames
Party time, going down, you better not mess us around
The stakes are rich, take a hit or stay, the price is high, someone's gonna pay
Heads I win, tails you lose, out of my way I'm coming through
Roll the dice, don't think twice, and we crush, crush 'em
Looking for trouble, now you've found it, you're a drum and we're gonna pound it
Last one standing wins the fight, hear us scream and shout all night
Down on the floor and eat the grit, this is gonna hurt a little bit
Heads I win, tails you lose, out of my way I'm coming through
Roll the dice, don't think twice, and we crush, crush 'em
Now we lay you down to rest, you'll never be more than second best
Step inside, you're in for a ride, and we crush, crush 'em
Crush! Crush!
Don't need reason, don't want names, just a John Doe to put to shame
Step aside, let me explain, the name of the game is pain
Now we've found you, we're gonna pound you, we're gonna beat you, gonna defeat you
We're gonna bust you, we're gonna crush you, we're gonna crush 'em
Heads I win, tails you lose, out of my way I'm coming through
Roll the dice, don't think twice, and we crush, crush 'em
Now we lay you down to rest, you'll never be more than second best
Step inside, you're in for a ride, and we crush, crush 'em
Crush! Crush!
Oh, boy, here we go, its time to crush 'em
Yeah and you shed some tears, it's gonna hurt, crush 'em
Not here, not tonight, it's our town, and we're gonna crush 'em!
Crush! Crush 'em!
"Breadline"
m. Dave Mustaine and Marty Friedman
l. Dave Mustaine and Bud Prager
Risk (1999)
Ain't got no job, ain't got no smoke, ain't got a car, his life's a joke
Living on the skids, thinks the world's just fine
Forgot what he did, dancing on the breadline
No one there to bind him, nothing to remind him, nowhere left to find him
About to lose his lifeline, he's dancing on the breadline
Forgot who he is, forgot who he was
Used to call the shots, now he can't connect the dots
A mover and shaker, getting closer to his maker
Lower than a hemline, dancing on the breadline
No one there to bind him, nothing to remind him, nowhere left to find him
About to lose his lifeline, he's looking for a headline
Sniffing up the white lines, he's dancing on the breadline, watch him dance
About to lose his lifeline, he's looking for a headline
Sniffing up the white lines, he's dancing on the breadline
About to lose his lifeline, he's dancing on the breadline
No one, nothing, nowhere, dancing on the breadline, he forgot and he ain't got nothing
"The Doctor Is Calling"
m. Dave Mustaine and Marty Friedman
l. Dave Mustaine and Bud Prager
Risk (1999)
The doctor is calling
Something's gone wrong, nowhere do I belong
I listen to the voices in the dark room
Something's going down, but I can't make a sound
Looking past the bars of my mind
The coat of arms falling, I hear the doctor calling
The family crest is falling, I hear the doctor calling
Always sharing trips, remove me from your lips
Sight and mind still and never go away
One too many tantrums, deviated symptoms
Better lock the phantom away
The coat of arms falling, I hear the doctor calling
The family crest is falling, I hear the doctor calling
I see the chalkline crawling, I hear the doctor calling me away
This place is my home, my mind still runs free
The doctor's prescription, less for you and more for me
The coat of arms falling, I hear the doctor calling
The family crest is falling, I hear the doctor calling
I see the chalkline crawling, I hear the doctor calling me away
A merciful embalming, I hear the doctor calling me away
"I'll Be There"
m. Dave Mustaine and Marty Friedman
l. Dave Mustaine and Bud Prager
Risk (1999)
I heard the voice of redemption
For me there is no exemption, I started praying
I heard the voice of satisfaction
Needing me for benefaction, I started pleading
I heard the bells begin to chime, warning me
Oh lord Don't let this be my time
I'll be there for you, when you walk through the fire
I'll be there for you, when the flames get higher
When nothing fits and nothing seems right
Till the very last breath of my life
I'll be there for you, I'll be there
You saw me slide, you saw me fall
We kept our pride through it all
We started screaming
When skies are dark, no sun shines through
I know I see the light in you
We stopped dreaming and started believing
I'll be there for you, when you walk through the fire
I'll be there for you, when the flames get higher
When nothing fits and nothing seems right
Till the very last breath of my life
I'll be there for you, I'll be there
In my hour of need you were there, always
And now it's time for me to be there for you too, always
I'll be there for you
You saw me slide, you saw me fall
We kept our pride through it all
When skies are dark, no sun shines through
I see the light in you
"Wanderlust"
m. Dave Mustaine and Marty Friedman
l. Dave Mustaine
Risk (1999)
As sure as the sun rises in the east
Another gunman will come seeking my defeat
Will he be as fast as me, are his nerves quiet and still
Will he fall like all the rest ending his days upon boothill
I'm an outcast riding into town alone
I got wanderlust branded deeper than the bone
I'm an outcast riding into town alone
I got a lust for wandering branded deeper than the bone
As I ride into the sunset to take another town
Thank you for the invite, but I just can't settle down
The dust that coats my hat is from a dozen towns
Dust from shooting down another dozen clowns
I'm an outcast riding into town alone
I got wanderlust branded deeper than the bone
I'm an outcast riding into town alone
I got a lust for wandering branded deeper than the bone
A drum beats for me, it's louder every day
The cadence tells me that soon I'll meet my judgment day
Life's an endless showdown never knowing when they'll come
I sleep with one eye open lying with my smoking gun
The game I play has caused a lot of grief
They were dying for fame, so I obliged them some relief
I'm an outcast riding into town alone
I got wanderlust branded deeper than the bone
I'm an outcast with lightning in my hand
I got wanderlust lost in no man's land
I got a lust for wandering lost in no man's land, I got wanderlust
"Ecstasy"
m. Dave Mustaine and Marty Friedman
l. Dave Mustaine
Risk (1999)
You live in a world of fantasy, you live in a web of deceit
You want it all including me, you like it all to be neat
I come to you when shadows fall, I leave as the dawn arrives
Hide the truth to deceive them all, how my good intention lies
Try to silence the suspicions, feeding the dark inhibitions
We can never let anyone see the sin I bring called ecstasy, the sin I bring ecstasy
Secret meetings that we hide, deeds of iniquity
The price of foolish pride, the cost of immorality
And we hide the truth to deceive them all and the pain of what will never be
Try to silence the suspicions, feeding the dark inhibitions
We can never let anyone see the sin I bring called ecstasy, the sin I bring ecstasy
"Seven"
m. Dave Mustaine
l. Dave Mustaine and David Ellefson
Risk (1999)
Full of greed you sell your soul, full of pride a heavy load
You eat yourself gluttony, resent yourself you envy me
Everything turns into wrath, you lust yourself to death
Deep fears that drive us, hid beneath disguises
Judge the world within, forgive my deadly sins
Procrastination always giving up, something better comes to interrupt
Cast your verdict down to me, spare me your bleeding sympathy
Only care how you appear, clearly see you can't see clear
Deep fears that drive us, hid beneath disguises
Judge the world within, forgive my deadly sins
Greed, gluttony, pride, envy, wrath, sloth, death, deadly seven
Seven deadly sins of mine
On every street and corner lie, these seven deadly sins of mine
Seven deadly sins...
"Time: The Beginning"
m. Dave Mustaine
l. Dave Mustaine and David Ellefson
Risk (1999)
Father time, I'm running late, I'm winding down, I'm growing tired
Seconds drift into the night, the clock just ticks till my time expires
You were once my friend, now I know I can't tie your hands
The days I saved I couldn't spend, they fell like sand through the hourglass
No time to lose, no time to choose
Time taking time, it's taken mine, scenes of my life seem so unkind
Time chasing time creeps up behind
I can't run forever, and time waits for no one, not even me
An enemy I can't defend, my final place a deadly end
Life's just a speck in space, dreams of an eternal resting place
I can't get any younger, time has brutal hunger
Time taking time, it's taken mine, scenes of my life seem so unkind
Time chasing time creeps up behind
I can't run forever, and time waits for no one, not even me
"Time: The End"
m. and l. Dave Mustaine
Risk (1999)
I see Chronos, his eyes are on fire, he holds my life and I see my time expire
Beat the clock, my head starts to spin, tick, tock, I can't let time win
