Insomnia
Written By: Dave Mustaine
Insomni omni omni omni omnia
I'm running in quicksand, Something 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's talking to me I don't know what it means
But the loudest voice is the one I heed
Insomni omni omni omni omnia my swollen blood shot eyes
Insomni omni omni omni omnia awake till morning light
Insomni omni omni omni omnia stirring deep inside
Insomni omni omni omni omnia somebody turn out the lights
I, I, I can't sleep
I, I, 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
Insomni omni omni omni omnia footsteps on a walk
Insomni omni omni omni omnia I hear someone knock
Insomni omni omni omni omnia I wish it was a dream
Insomni omni omni omni omnia can you hear me scream
I can't sleep
Insomni omni omni omni omnia My swollen blood shot eyes
Insomni omni omni omni omnia awake till morning light
Insomni omni omni omni omnia stirring deep inside
Insomni omni omni omni omnia somebody turn out the lights
(I keep waking up)
Insomnia
Prince of Darkness
Written by Dave Mustaine/ Marty Friedman
My victims are rich or poor, young or old, strong or weak
I've caused 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) 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 your 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 then all the armys of the world
I am more violent then violence, more deadly then death
I have destroyed more men then all the nation's wars
I am relentless, unpredictable waiting for your last breath
(Evil), more evil then violence - (Violent), more violent then death
(Deadly), more deadly then 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 (leave you in tears)
Imprison your soul, your hopes are my games (your hopes my games)
I strip you of pride, my promise is in vain (promises in vain)
While you burn at the stake (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 devilish serpent the dreaded Lucifer
(Prince of Darkness)
(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)

Breadline
Written by: Dave Mustaine/Bud Prager/Marty Friedman
Ain't got no job
Aint got no smoke
Aint got a car
This life's a joke
Livin on the skids
Thinks the worlds 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 life line
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 a shaker
Getting closer to his maker
Lower then a headline
Dancing on the breadline
No one there to find him
Nothing to remind him
Nowhere left to find him
Nowhere
About to lose his life line
He's looking for a headline
Sniffin up the white lines
He's dancing on the breadline
He's dancing on the breadline
Watch him dance
About to lose his life line
He's looking for a headline
Sniffin up the white lines
He's dancing on the breadline
About to lose his life line
He's dancing on the breadline
Yeah
No one, nothing, nowhere
Dancing on the breadline
Dancing on the breadline
He forgot and he ain't got nothing
The Doctor is Calling
Written by: Dave Mustaine/Bud Prager/Marty Friedman
(Daddy, the doctor's calling)
(Attention all in patients, please report to the infirmary it is time for medication)
(O yes this is gonna hurt you a lot more then it's going to hurt me)
What's that sound? What's that sound that sound that sound that sound
(The diagnosis was acute personality disorder combined with psychotic overtones and manic
depressant tendencies in short stark raving mad)
The doctor is calling
The doctor is calling
(The doctor is calling)
Something's going wrong
Nowhere do I belong
I listen to the voices in the dark room
(They say) 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 (away)
One to many tantrums deviated symptoms
Better lock the phantom away (away away)
The coat of arms falling
I hear the doctor calling
The family crest is falling
I hear the doctor calling
I see the chalk line crawling
I hear the doctor calling me away
(...Transmitters built to swamp ... impulses that stimulate the synapses
the result is what is medically known as cerebral meltdown)
This place is my home
My mind still runs free
The doctors prescription less for you and more for me
Na na na na na na .....
The coat of arms falling (coat of arms falling)
I hear the doctor calling (the doctor calling)
The family crest is falling (family crest is falling)
I hear the doctor calling (the doctor calling)
I see the chalk line crawling (... falling)
I hear the doctor calling (I hear the doctor calling)
A merciful embalming (crest is falling)
I hear (I hear) I hear (I hear away) calling me away
(Away, away.....)
I'll Be There
Written by: Dave Mustaine/Bud Prager/Marty Friedman
I heard the voice of redemption
For me there is no exemption
I started praying
I heard the voice of satisfaction
Moving me for benefaction
I started pleading
I heard the bell begin to chime
Warning me Oh Lord
Don't let this be my time
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
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 to always
I'll be there
I'll be there for you
I'll be there, I'll be there
You saw me slide you saw me fall
We kept our pride through it all
When skies are dark no sun shines through
I'll be there, I'll be there for you
Wanderlust
Written by: Dave Mustaine/Marty Friedman
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 then the bone
I'm an outcast riding into town alone
I got a lust for wandering branded deeper then the bone
Riding to the sunset to take another town
Thank you for the invites, But I just can't settle down
Just can't settle down
The dust that coats my hat is from a dozen towns
The dust from shooting down another dozen clowns
I'm an outcast riding into town alone
I got wanderlust branded deeper then the bone
I'm an outcast riding into town alone
I got a lust for wandering branded deeper then the bone
A drum beats for me
Gets louder everyday
Cadence tells me that soon I meet my judgment day, my judgment day...
A drum beats for me
Gets louder everyday
And 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
My smoking gun
The game I play has caused a lot of grief
They were dying for fame so I obliged some relief
Dying for fame, I obliged to some relief
I'm an outcast riding into town alone
I've got wanderlust branded deeper then the bone
I'm an outcast with lightning in my hand
I've got wanderlust lost in no man's land
I've got a lust for wandering lost in no man's land
I've got wanderlust
Ecstasy
Written by: Dave Mustaine/Marty Friedman
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
And my good intention lies
Try to silence your suspicions
Feeding the dark inhibitions
We can never let anyone see
The sin I bring called ecstasy
The sin I bring ecstasy
Secret meeting that we hide
Deeds of inequity
The price of a 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 your suspicions
Feeding the dark inhibitions
We can never let anyone see
The sin I bring called ecstasy
Try to silence your suspicions
Feeding the dark inhibitions
We can never let anyone see
The sin I bring called ecstasy
The sin I bring ecstasy
Try to silence the suspicions
Feeding the dark inhibition
We can never let anyone see
The sin I bring called ecstasy
Try to silence your suspicion
Feeding the dark inhibition
We can never let anyone see
The sin I bring called ecstasy
The sin I bring called ecstasy
The sin I bring called ecstasy
The sin I bring ecstasy
Oh' ecstasy, ecstasy...
Seven
Written by: Dave Mustaine/David Ellefson
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
Oh 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
Oh forgive my deadly sins
Deep fears that drive us
Hid beneath disguises
Judge the world within
O forgive my deadly sins
Greed, Gluttony, Pride, Envy, Wrath, Sloth,
Death, deadly seven, seven deadly sins of mine
On every street and corner lie
Seven deadly sins of mine
On every street and corner lie
Seven deadly sins of mine
On every street and corner lie
Seven deadly sins
On every street and corner lie
These seven deadly sins of mine
Every street and corner lie
Seven seven deadly sins seven deadly sins of mine
Every street and corner lie
These seven deadly sins of mine
Seven deadly sins
These deadly sins of mine
Deadly sins of mine
Time: The Beginning
Written by: Dave Mustaine/Marty Friedman
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 taking mine
Scenes of my life
Seems so unkind
Time chasing time creeps up behind
I can't run forever
Time waits for no one, not even me
An enemy I can't defend
My final days
A deadly end
Life is 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 taking mine
Scenes of my life
Seems so unkind
Time chasing time creeps up behind
I can't run forever
Time waits for noone
Waits for noone, not even me
Time: The End
Written by: Dave Mustaine
I see Chronos - His eyes are on fire
He holds my life - And I see my time expire
Beat the clock (beat the clock)
My head starts to spin (my head starts to spin)
My head starts to spin (my head starts to spin)
Tick tock (tick tock)
Tick tock (yeah yeah tick tock)
I can't let time win (I can't let time win)
I can't let time win (I can't let time win) |
