Dave Mustaine The Sick, The Dying...And The Dead (2022) Busted, caught red-handed again, you can't be trusted, born to lose, you'll never win You're so corrupted, you stand before us condemned, so maladjusted to-the-world we're living-and-dying-in Spy versus spy, you will never have friends, you deny, the truth of where you've been You get caught, and then the "blame-game" begins A couple drinks and then you'll feel ok, a couple pills makes the world go away What the hell, you’re gonna die anyway and you'll say... I'm a disease, and I'm addicted to myself, ha! I'm all I need, I'm gonna live and die in hell No fingerprints, you erased you exist, kill or be killed, how you get your kicks Over, and over, you just couldn't resist Only a fool would do what you've done, you lie, you steal, and you cheat everyone When your caught in your most despicable deed, you plead the court for Diplomatic Immunity You may be eloquent with your savoir fare, but each time the smoke clears, another body's there You've had more than your share of good advice, there's nothing left to say, now except "Have a life" Their faces haunt your dreams, each, and every night, when it gets too much, in your ring there's cyanide Now everything fades out and you depart just like a ghost, the Devil says, "Welcome to Hell, I will be your host" There's no reason left to say goodbye! There's no reason left to live or die Judgment's waiting, it's the end of the line for you Your existence and this twisted game, the definition of criminally insane It won't be long until you do it again, you'll see! I'm a disease, life in hell, I'm all I need, die in hell "Night Stalkers (Featuring Ice-T)" m. Dave Mustaine, Kiko Loureiro, Dirk Verbeuren l. Dave Mustaine The Sick, The Dying...And The Dead (2022) Concealed in the night from the light of the moon, undetected between the heavens, the stars, and the seas They seize the night when it's dark, like inside a tomb, faintly, their flat black body armor gleams; light it up! From verdict, to deliverance, to retribution, to the very last beat of a dead man's pulse You can hear the thunder roll, you can hear the engines roar, it causes the ground to quake, to buck and convulse Lights out in the desert, battle-born, ready to fight Your death waits in the dark and it stalks the night…Night Stalkers The angels of death ride the waves of the air, you barely see the pilots on this "zero-Illum" night The avenger's ready, now, as the target's growing near, tracer bullets, shot from the ground, behind enemy lines Blacked out we're under radio silence, night vision on, green halos a' glow It's killing time, another lesson in violence, bodies pile up, and adrenaline starts to flow Nothing you do can stop them, they're gonna get ya, wanted dead or alive You can run, but you know they will find you, "Death waits in the dark," and they own the night Lights out in the desert, battle-born, ready to fight Your death waits in the dark and it stalks the night…The night Hydra rockets are all locked and loaded, laser guided hell-fire missiles are ready and armed Itchy fingers on 30 mike-mike triggers, they enter the fight, with all their targets acquired Flying in "formation" like a black snake, slithering closely over the nap of the Earth Slicing the silvery-blueish night fog to ribbons, the time has come to return dirt back to the dirt, yeah! "Dogs of Chernobyl" m. Dave Mustaine, Kiko Loureiro l. Dave Mustaine, Tony Cmelak The Sick, The Dying...And The Dead (2022) It was springtime, the minutes simply drifting away, then everything stopped in the world Fallout – radioactive clouds, fallout – hides the exclusion zone, fallout – and you were nowhere to be found I see your face, wherever I turn, there's blood on my lips, as my eyes start to burn You vanished and left me behind, like, one of the Dogs of Chernobyl, where did you go? Nuclear winter is here, reactor four's still belching clouds, there's no one left to hear a sound On and on – Fallout – on and on, I keep searching for you But I know – Fallout – I know you're never coming back Not for me – Fallout – not for me, or for anyone, anywhere, anyway Vault breach, too close is dead, massive exposure, I must escape and navigate this concrete enclosure No warning, and no pain, only shock and then dread, no one coming, no one going, I'm alive with the dead Nausea overwhelms my brain, distance is the goal, stomach spasms, leaking gut, I have lost all control Saliva gurgling, I'm retching, till I overwhelm the bowl, I ask God, in repentance, "Do you still want my soul?" Bodies strewn everywhere, no need for cremation, daylight coming into view, I sense there's no salvation Stagger out into the open, my eyes fixed and staring, armed patrol, red lights on, the sirens are a' blaring I am the walking dead and I'm taken into safety, they ask the time of death because my skin's looking pasty Transfusions, test tubes, and clinical eyeing, purulence and decay, my deathly complying Blankets of smoke, orifices bleed, bloating bellies, and legs getting weak Cerebral swelling, organs liquifying, acute radiation, this is how they die This is how they die... "Sacrifice" m. Dave Mustaine, Kiko Loureiro l. Dave Mustaine The Sick, The Dying...And The Dead (2022) Come listen to a tale of a tragic sacrifice of a warlock king of satanic ancestry Being possessed by the worst-of-all human emotions, burned at the stake for partaking in sorcery The wickedest wizards barter the souls of the lost for the damned, ooooh, spirits of the dead, for the wild and the free Just beware if every thought has consequences, what they think is worse than any curse could be The sky's, the sky's, on fire, flames rise, and shadows fall, cremate, cremate, the king, sky-clad, and drenched in blood Binding hexes, casting spells, the demons drink to you down in hell, when you promised not to break the oath you take…the oath you make Every charm and talisman can be broken, it must be unwound, and undone, if you wanna break free The oath you take…the oath you make "Junkie" m. and l. Dave Mustaine The Sick, The Dying...And The Dead (2022) Gotta monkey on his back, a craving nobody knows about, hopeless and dopeless, now that he's down and out Sicker than a dog again, suicidal, the smack ran out, he found a dealer playing Russian Roulette The cure is worse than the disease, he's long past caring if he dies He fills the needle, slams a shot, and then, squeezing the trigger, he closes his eyes…fire! Junkie, what you live for, junkie, you'll gladly die for A dope seeking missile, scoring and shooting all through the night Everyone knows that everyone runs 'outta-luck', night yields the sky to the morning Time's up, he knew, so he said "Get High or Die!" and then he was dead Junkie, what you live for, junkie, you'll gladly die for, junkie, it's killing you; it's killing me, can't you see, junkie "Psychopathy" m. Dave Mustaine, Kiko Loureiro l. Dave Mustaine The Sick, The Dying...And The Dead (2022) Psychopathy, like many psychiatric disorders and syndromes, has environmental, as well as moderately strong genetic components Findings indicate there are genetic influences, accounting for all of the psychopathic dimensions While environmental factors appear related to the disorder, the reciprocal nature between factors and expression Of psychopathic traits is an important goal for future research "Killing Time" m. Dave Mustaine, Kiko Loureiro l. Dave Mustaine The Sick, The Dying...And The Dead (2022) Some people look at you and feel sorry, they see your beady eyes and a soul that is black It's clear to see, you're a pathological liar and your alibi was a lie, it was all just an act, and that's a fact When you start moving your lips, I know that you're lying, so, don't tell me you need me, you're killing my time Stop saying you're grateful, cause you're not, your kind is so hateful, I'll make sure I'm ready, I'll make sure that I'm ready to go! If I told me once, I told me a thousand times, it's just a matter of time, you'll screw the world inside-out You're a sick, psychopath, you squander everything, and then laugh, you've got to know what goes around comes around, and around! "Soldier On!" m. and l. Dave Mustaine The Sick, The Dying...And The Dead (2022) No reason left for living, living all alone and dying unforgiven, with unforgiven bones Dead years, and the dread years, they were all throughout your life The road was soon your mistress, and the stage became your wife Marching off to war, everyone can see, they're paralyzed with fear, they get down on their knees and pray Of all the battles won and lost, the lives and treasures that it cost, I know I've got to soldier on! Watching mankind destroy itself, walk straight into the mouth of Hell, I know I've got to soldier on! No reason left for dying, dying to be right, days, living unforgiven, and unforgiven nights Lean years, and the mean years, they were all throughout your life Two steps forward and two steps back, you're out of time "Célebutante" m. Dave Mustaine, Kiko Loureiro l. Dave Mustaine The Sick, The Dying...And The Dead (2022) You say you're a model, it's evident you've never met, a mirror you didn't love "Ooh-La-La!" You say you're an angel with your halo, and your crown, as you fly up to the sun, and melt your wings It's not a want, it's an obsession, you wanna hear the people screaming out your name Whispers at night in your midnight confessions, you'll do anything for fame, Célebutante You say you're an actor, well, then come set-up the stage Put the cast right where you want; show us what you got! You say you're in movies, always dropping names of so-called-semi-almost-famous friends; it never ends Fame, to teach the unteachable; fame, to reach the unreachable Fame, to beat the unbeatable; fame, to keep the unkeepable Fame, the tighter you hold on to fame, the more everything slips away! All the right hungers, all the right thirsts, all the right aches, the pains, and the hurts All the right gossip, all the right trends, all the right knives in the backs of your friends "Mission To Mars" m. Dave Mustaine, Kiko Loureiro l. Dave Mustaine The Sick, The Dying...And The Dead (2022) Countdown is commencing, pretty soon I'll be saying, "Goodbye Earth" A rocket ride on a bucking bronc, at seventeen thousand miles an hour It's only seven months to Mars, give or take a light year or two, I wanna be an astronaut Starting lift-off procedures…all systems standing by – over – OVER?! Blast-off, I'm on my way, I'm a shooting star, a man on a mission I hang with the man on the moon, I'll be there soon, a man on a mission to Mars I headbang on the gangway, say my prayers, cross my heart and hope to die Open a window for the Seven Sisters of Pleiades, "Hello ladies" SEVEN SISTERS: "Hello Moon Man!" Three hundred million miles to Mars, it doesn't seem so far away, I wanna be an astronaut Starting landing procedures…all systems standing by – over – OVER?! "We'll Be Back" m. Dave Mustaine, Kiko Loureiro l. Dave Mustaine The Sick, The Dying...And The Dead (2022) The timing is right to exact my revenge, spilling enemy blood, I will fight to the end No more lying-in wait, just to even the score, there's a price to be paid, now it's time for war I'm a soldier of fortune, of torture, and pain, I bash in your skull until no teeth remain A ‘most-deadly' weapon, pulverizing your head, with each crushing blow, how you wish you were dead Just when you think it's safe, I attack; we'll be back, when you least expect your fate; I attack; we'll be back A kick to your face, one move, big mistake; we'll be back, let down your guard, full-on frontal attack, I'll be back! No use screaming for mercy, no use makin' a sound, still, you step right up, and get smacked back down In the heat of battle, blood congeals on the floor, another life-force bleeds out, another soul out the door Antisocial, sadistic; the "Deity of War", I stuff body bags, and I'm packing the morgue No time for remorse over unclaimed remains, it's just flotsam and jetsam, and it's circling the drain "Police Truck" m. and l.
