Dread And The Fugitive Mind
Let me introduce myself I'm a social disease
I've come for your wealth leave you on your knees
No time for feeling sorry, I got here on my own
I won't ask for mercy, I choose to walk alone

What's yours is mine and what's mine is mine too
If you shake my hand better count your fingers

What if I do get caught' What if there is no judgment?
If I'm right I lose nothing, if you're right I lose it all
I ought to get caught because I'm doing something wicked
I'm guilty haunted by my fear and the only consequences
Are Dread and the Fugitive Mind

You built walls to protect you so no one will infect you
Pursued by those out there that vanish in thin air
Come a long way to find what you really left behind
You don't know when the end is but it's coming fast

What's yours is mine and what's mine is mine too
If you shake my hand better count your fingers

What if I do get caught' What if there is no judgment?
If I'm right I lose nothing, if you're right I lose it all
I ought to get caught because I'm doing something wicked
I'm guilty haunted by my fear and the only consequences
Are Dread and the Fugitive Mind

Kill The King
Broken down, feeling naked
Leaving me unfulfilled
Promising compromise
Championing mediocrity

Time and time again
What you said ain't what you mean
Even if all my bones are broken
I will drag myself back from the edge to

Kill the King, The King is dead, Long live the King
Kill the King, The King is dead, Long live the King,
I am the King, God save the King

Kill the King, The King is dead
I am the King, Long live the King
Kill the King, The King is dead
I am the King, Long live the King

I reveal a deceiver
In the highest seat in the land
His idle hands the Devil's workshop
Generate more smoke than heat

Time and time again
What you said ain't what you mean
Even if all my bones are broken
I will drag myself back from the edge to

Kill the King, The King is dead, Long live the King
Kill the King, The King is dead, Long live the King,
I am the King, God save the King

Kill the King, The King is dead
I am the King, Long live the King
Kill the King, The King is dead
I am the King, Long live the King

A new precedent in pain, a new precedent in pain
Mankind is blown to dust, mankind is blown to dust
An explosion of the Brain, an explosion of the Brain
Spontaneously combust, spontaneously combust 

Kill the King, The King is dead, Long live the King,
I am the King
Kill the King, I, The King is dead, I am, Long live the King,
I am the King
Kill the King, I, The King is dead, I am, Long live the King,
I am the King
Kill the King, I, The King is dead, I am, Long live the King,
I am the King

Wake Up Dead
I sneak in my own house 
It's four in the morning 
I had too much to drink 
Said I was out with the boys 
I creep in my bedroom 
I slip into bed, 
I know if I wake her, 
I'll wake up dead 

I wonder, will she find out, 
About the other, other lover. 
Diana. 

Wake up dead, you die 
Wake up dead, and buried. 
Wake up dead, you die 
Wake up dead

In My Darkest Hour
In my hour of need 
Ha, no, you're not there 
And though I reached out for you 
Wouldn't lend a hand. 

Through the darkest hour 
Grace did not shine on me 
It feels so cold, very cold 
No one cares for me. 

Did you ever think I get lonely 
Did you ever think that I needed love 
Did you ever think to stop thinking 
You're the only one that I'm thinking of. 

You'll never know how hard I tried 
To find my space and satisfy you too. 

Things will be better when I'm dead and gone 
Don't try to understand, knowing you I'm probably wrong. 

But oh how I lived my life for you 
Still you'd turn away 
Now as I die for you 
My flesh still crawls as I breathe your name 
All these years I thought I was wrong 
Now I know it was you 
Raise you head, raise your face your eyes 
Tell me who you think you are 

I walk, I walk alone 
Into the promised land. 
There's a better place for me 
But it's far, far away 

Rverlasting life for me 
In a perfect world 
But I gotta die first, 
Please God send me on my way. 

Time has a way of taking time 
Loneliness is not only felt be fools 
Alone I call to ease the pain 
Yearning to be held by you, alone so alone, I'm lost 
Consumed by the pain 
The pain, the pain, the pain. 
Won't you hold me again 
You just laughed, ha ha, bitch 

My whole life is work built on the past 
The time has come when all things shall pass 
This good thing passed away.

Angry Again
The more of you that I inspect
The more of me I see reflect
The more I try to read your lips
The more the mask you're wearing rips

But when I seek out your voice
My ears are overcome with noise
You show and tell with greatest ease
Raving impossibilities

Engaged in crime I grasp my throat
Enraged my mind starts to smoke
Enforce a mental overload
Angry again, angry again, angry ow

And when the story takes a twist
If folds like a contortionist
Slight of hand and quick exchange
The old tricks have been rearranged

Engaged in crime I grasp my throat
Enraged my mind starts to smoke
Enforce a mental overload
Angry again, angry again, angry

The searing of the sinew
My body fights for air
The ripping of the tissue
My lungs begin to tear
Gravity's got my bones
It pulls my flesh away

The steam finally dissipates
I make out my sweaty face

Association that I choose
Game I inevitably lose
Governed by laws set up by me
Fracture its jaw to let me be
A cut-out cardboard condo maze
Filled with an insubordinate race
Irrational youths stop to stare
As music rubber hosed the air

Engaged in crime I grasp my throat
Enraged my mind starts to smoke
Enforce a mental overload
Angry again, angry again, angry again
And again and again, again

Engaged in crime I grasp my throat
Enraged my mind starts to smoke
Enforce a mental overload
Angry again, angry again, angry ow

She Wolf
The mother of all that is evil 
Her lips are poisonous venom 
Wicked temptress knows how to please 
The priestess roars, “Get down on your knees” 

The rite of the praying mantis 
Kiss the bones of the enchantress 
Spellbound searching through the night 
A howling man surrenders the fight 

Chorus 
One look in her lusting eyes 
Savage fear in you will rise 
Teeth of terror sinking in 
The bite of the she-wolf 
 One look in her lusting eyes 
Savage fear in you will rise 
Teeth of terror sinking in 
The bite of the she-wolf 

My desires of flesh obey me 
The lioness will enslave me 
Another heart beat than my own 
The sound of claws on cobblestone, I'm stoned 

Chorus 

Beware what stalks you in the night 
Beware the she-wolf and her bite 
Her mystic lips tell only lies 

Beware what stalks you in the night 
Beware the she-wolf and her bite 
Her hidden will to kill in disguise

Reckoning Day
I like the way that I make you itch 
And all the reasons I give you to bitch 
And how I make you wanna scream in pain 
And feel your life is just a losing game 

I like the way that you let me in 
The way you look when the walls cave in 
I like the way that your stomach knots 
And how you cry for it all to stop 

I like the way that you fool yourself 
And make believe there's nobody else 
I like the way that you stand in line 
And beg salvation from the empty skies 

Chorus 
Don't want no revenge 
Ain't no pay back time 
It ain't called getting even 
Here comes the reconing day 

I like the things that you try to fake 
And your face when I see you break 
And that you say you will pray for me 
You realize you are prey for me 

I like the way you stay on attack 
No matter what, I keep coming back 
And how you try to hold me down 
But you end up driven to the ground

Devil's Island
The light that fills my lonely cell, 
Is blocked out by the key, 
That locks the door to this hell, 
The place they wanted me. 
Time's racing like the wind, 
Execution's near, 
Oh lord, I wait for death, 
And, yes, I have no fear. 
I recall that night, my every breath, 
And, step along the way. 
Closed my eyes, walking, 
As danger paved the way. 
The devil, and the darkness 
Let her evil wander free 
And, here on Devil's Island, 
The final stop for me. 

Chorus 
Devil's Island, Devil's Island. 

Oh, there is no escape, 
The sea is full of sharks. 
The tide takes you away, and 
Smashes you on the rocks. 
The sun is shining, 
But feel not today, 
It's warmth, it's dying, 
And fading away. 

Chorus 

Oh, hear the call, 
From the grave beyond. 
Oh, so pernicious, 
Her soul it creates song. 
As there is no man, that is 
Here upon the earth, 
Able to terminate our 
Noisome will since birth. 

The priest that reads the sermons, 
Is walking next to me, 
To the stake, my last request, 
To have her burn with me. 
But, so it did, the heavens opened, 
Rain began to fall. 
The final judgement came, and 
Was spread before you all. 
Final judgement. 

Old, weak, and feeble, 
But the lesson taught to me, 
To stay away from evil, 
She doesn't care for me. 
She haunts me in my sleep, 
Though I tore that page away. 
And, here on Devil's Island, 
I'll always have to stay. 

Chorus 
Here I am.

Train Of Consequences
I'm doing you a favor 
As I'm taking all your money 
I guess I should feel sorry 
But I don't even trust me 
There's bad news creeping up 
And you feel a sudden chill 
How do you do' My name is Trouble 
I'm coming in for the kill' 
In for the kill' 
Ooh, and you know I will 

Chorus 
Set the ball a rollin 
I'll be clicking off the miles 
On the train of consequences 
My boxcar life o' style 
My thinking is derailed 
I'm tied up to the tracks 
The train of consequences 
There ain't no turning back 

No horse ever ran as fast 
As the money that you bet 
I'm blowing on my cards 
And play them to my chest 
Life's fabric is corrupt 
Shot through with corroded thread 
As for me I hocked my brains 
Packed my bags and headed west' 
I hocked my brains' 
Headed west

A Tout Le Monde
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 
Smile when you think of me 
My body's gone that's all 
  
Chorus 
A tout le monde 
A 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 are scarred 

Chorus 

Solo 

So as you read, know my friends 
I'd love to stay with you all 
Please smile, smile when you think about me 
My body's gone that's all

Burning Bridges
You give up on yourself
Somehow you got betrayed agin
Thin ice and luck runs out
Who will you blame it on this time?

Due to lack of interest in you
The light at the end of the tunnel
Was turned off
And something I noticed
Beating you is thrilling me
I've got a secret for you

If you took your own direction
If only you practice what you preach
If you follow your advice
You wouldn't be burning bridges all the time

Don't close your eyes to injustice
Listen, being brave ain't chicken shit
A man without any valor
Has nothing worth living for

Due to lack of interest in you
The light at the end of the tunnel
Was turned off
And something I noticed
Beating you is thrilling me
I've got a secret for you

If you took your own direction
If only you practice what you preach
If you follow your advice
You wouldn't be burning bridges all the time

Solo - Mustaine
Solo - Pitrelli

If you took your own direction
If only you practice what you preach
If you follow your advice
You wouldn't be burning bridges all the time

If you took your own direction
If only you practice what you preach
If you follow your advice
You wouldn't be burning bridges all the time

Hanger 18
Welcome to our fortress tall 
Take some time to show you around 
Impossible to break these walls 
For you see the steel is much too strong 
Computer banks to rule the world 
Instruments to sight the stars 

Chorus 
Possibly I've seen to much 
Hangar 18 I know too much 

Foreign life forms inventory 
Suspended state of cryogenics 
Selective amnesia's the story 
Believed foretold but who'd suspect 
The military Intelligence 
Two words combined that can't make sense 

Chorus

Return To The Hanger
Welcome to an empty fortress
A mighty wreck that once was proud
Ate alive by oxidation
Abandoned by a crew of cowards
Navigation systems failed
Computers crashed and they all fall down

Possibly I've seen too much
Hangar 18 I know too much

Solo - Pitrelli

All the guilty paid the price
Suspended by their broken necks
No one survived to tell the story
When foreign life forms resurrect
And military intelligence is
Still two words that can't make sense

Possibly I've seen too much
Hangar 18 I know too much

Hook In Mouth
A cockroach in the concrete, courthouse tan and beady eyes. 
A slouch with fallen arches, purging truths into great lies. 
A little man with a big eraser, changing history 
Procedures that he's programmed to, all he hears and sees. 

Altering the facts and figures, events and every issue. 
Make a person disappear, and no one will ever miss you. 

Rewrites every story, every poem that ever was. 
Eliminates incompetence, and those who break the laws. 
Follow the instructions of the New Ways' Evil Book of Rules. 
Replacing rights with wrongs, the files and records in the schools. 

You say you've got the answers, well who asked you anyway?
Ever think maybe it was meant to be this way?
Don't try to fool us, we know the worst is yet to come. 
I believe my kingdom will come. 

Chorus 1 
F is for fighting, R is for red, 
Ancestors' blood in battles they've shed. 
E, we elect them, E, we eject them, 
In the land of the free, and the home of the brave. 
D, for your dying, O, your overture, 
M, they will cover your grave with manure. 
This spells out freedom, it means nothing to me, 
As long as there's a P.M.R.C. 

Chorus 2 
F is for fighting, R is for red, 
Ancestors' blood in battles they've shed. 
E, we elect them, E, we eject them, 
In the land of the free and the home of the brave. 
D, for your dying, O, your overture, 
M is for money and you know what that cures. 
This spells out freedom, it means nothing to me, 
As long as there's a P.M.R.C. 

Repeat Chorus 1 

Put your hand right up my shirt, 
Pull the strings that make me work, 
Jaws will part, words fall out, 
like a fish with hook in mouth. 

Rewrites every story, every poem that ever was. 
Eliminates incompetence, and those who break the laws. 
Follow the instructions of the New Ways' Evil Book of Rules. 
Replacing rights with wrongs, the files and records in the schools. 

I'm not a fish 
I'm a man 
Hook in mouth

Almost Honest
I lied just a little 
When I said I need you 
You stretched the truth 
When you said that you knew 
Just can't believe it 
There's nothing to say 
I was almost honest, almost 

Chorus 
Living alone, can't stand this place 
It's four in the morning and I still see your face 

I was nearly pure 
When I said I loved you 
You were semi-sincere 
You said I'd bleed for you 
We were kind of candid 
Now you've gone away 
You were almost honest, almost 
  

Chorus 
Living alone, falling from grace 
I want to be alone, but there's just empty space 
I can't face tomorow, now you're not coming back 
Walked off in the night, and just left me the tracks 

I question your call by the tone of your voice 
I know I should hang up but I don't have a choice 
It happened that night when you told me to go 
Don't ask who's to blame, I don't know 

Solo 

Chorus 

Almost, almost honest 
Almost, I was almost honest

1000 Times Goodbye
The tides of change pulled us apart
I feel a familiar pain
It seems like years since we've loved
Or even liked and that's a lonely way to be

Drifting alone in a sea of agony
Your face I can't recognize
Don't make this hard on us
I will miss you if you just go away

I did no right you did no wrong
Nothing left but wasted days
I regret you leaving
But I will never take you back

Solo - Pitrelli

You know what' It's over
I just don't feel the same way as I used to
We've been together forever, but it's over

Goodbye 1000 times goodbye
The thought never crossed my mind
That this would be my last goodbye
Let me put pennies on your eyes
And kiss your lips one last goodbye
My love 1000 times goodbye

It seems nothing good is free
A good thing cost much more than the price
You were good but not that good
Don't kid yourself now it's time to beak up

Drifting alone in a sea of agony
Your face I can't recognize
Don't make this hard on us
I will miss you if you just go away

I did no right you did no wrong
Nothing left but wasted days
I regret you leaving
But I'll never take you back

Solo - Pitrelli

Don't call me anymore. It's just not...
I don't feel the same way about you
Its not as good as it used to be

Goodbye 1000 times goodbye
The thought never crossed my mind
That this would be my last goodbye
Let me put pennies on your eyes
And kiss your lips one last goodbye
My love 1000 times goodbye

Repeat Chorus
Solo - Mustaine

I'll always love you but just not like that
Like what?
I want to be honest with you I met someone else
You did what?
And I really, I really love him like I used to love you
Remember the time that I told you that
I was going out of town for business?
Well I went to see him
You know what' You suck!

Solo - Mustaine

Goodbye 1000 times
You'll always have a special place
In my heart you know that
It's just I can't be with you anymore it's over
Goodbye 1000 times
Things may not work out with him
Goodbye 1000 times
And if they don't
Goodbye 1000 times
Then I'll certainly call you
Goodbye 1000 times
You mean a lot to me
I still really want to be friends with you
I love you like you're my brother

Mechanix
Imagine you were at my station 
And you brought your motor to me 
Your a burner yeah a real motor car 

Said you wanna get your order filled 
Made me shiver when I put it in 
Pumping just won't do ya know luckily for you 

Chorus 
Whoever thought you'd be better 
At turning a screw than me 
I do it for my life 
Made my drive shaft crank 
Made my pistons bulge 
Made my ball bearing melt from the heat 

We were shifting hard when we took off 
Put tonight all four on the floor 
When we hit top end you know it feels to slow 

Said you wanna get your order filled 
Made me shiver when I put it in 
Pumping just won't do ya know luckily for you

Tornado Of Souls
This morning I made the call 
The one that ends it all 
Hanging up, I wanted to cry 
But dammit, this well's gone dry 
Not for the money, not for the fame 
Not for the power, just no more games 

Chorus 
But now I'm safe in the eye of the tornado 
I can't replace the lies, that let a 1000 days go 
No more living trapped inside 
In her way I'll surely die 
In the eye of the tornado, blow me away 

You‘ll grow to loathe my name 
You'll hate me just the same 
You won't need your breath 
And soon you'll meet your death 
Not from the years, not from the use 
Not from the tears, just self abuse 

Who's to say, what's for me to say 
Who's to say, what's for me to be 
Who's to say, what's for me to do 
Cause a big nothing it'll be for me 

The land of opportunity 
The golden chance for me 
My future looks so bright 
Now I think I've seen the light 

Can't say what's on my mind 
Can't do what I really feel 
In this bed I made for me 
Is where I sleep, I really feel 

I warn you of the fate 
Proven true too late 
Your tongue twist perverse 
Come drink now of this curse 
And now I fill your brain 
I spin you round again 
My poison fills your head 
As I tuck you into bed 
You feel my fingertips 
You won't forget my lips 
You'll feel my cold breath 
It's the kiss of death

Ashes In Your Mouth
People have round shoulders from fairing heavy loads. 
And the soldiers liberate them, laying mines along their roads. 
Sorrow paid for valor is too much to recall 
Of the countless corpses piled up along the wailing wall. 

Melting down all metals, turning plows and shears to swords, 
Shun words of the Bible, we need implements of war. 
Chalklines and red puddles of those who have been slain 
Destiny, that crooked schemer, says the dead shall rise again 

Chorus 
Where do we go from here?
And should we really care?
The end is finally here, 
God have mercy! 

Now we've rewritten history 
The one thing we've found out, 
Sweet taste of vindication, 
It turns to ashes in your mouth. 

Chorus 

Spoken: 
If you're fighting to live 
It's O.K. to die! 
The answer to your question is: 
Welcome to tomorrow!

Sweating Bullets
Hello me' Meet the real me. 
And my misfit's way of life. 
A dark black past is my 
Most valued possession. 
Hindsight is always 20-20, 
But looking back it's still a bit fuzzy. 
Speak of mutually assured destruction?
Nice story' Tell it to Reader's Digest!!! 

Chorus 
Feeling paranoid 
True enemy or false friend?
Anxiety's attacking me, and 
My air is getting thin. 
I'm in trouble for the things 
I haven't got to yet. 
I'm chomping at the bit, and my 
Palms are getting wet, sweating bullets. 

Hello me' It's me again. 
You can subdue, but never tame me. 
It gives me a migraine headache 
Thinking down to your level. 
Yea, just keep on thinking it's my fault 
And stay an inch or two outta kicking distance. 
Mankind has got to know 
His limitations. 

Chorus 
Feeling claustrophobic, 
Like the walls are closing in. 
Blood stains on my hands and 
I don't know where I've been. 
I'm in trouble for the things 
I haven't got to yet. 
I'm sharpening the axe and my 
Palms are getting wet, sweating bullets. 

Solo • Dave 

Well, me' it's nice talking to myself, 
A credit to dementia. 
Some day you too will know my pain, 
And smile its blacktooth grin. 
If the war inside my head 
Won't take a day off I'll be dead. 
My icy fingers claw your back, 
Here I come again. 

Chorus 
Feeling paranoid 
True enemy or false friend?
Anxiety's attacking me 
And my air is getting thin 
Feeling claustrophobic, 
Like the walls are closing in. 
Blood stains on my hands and 
I don't know where I've been 
Once you committed me 
Now you've acquitted me 
Claiming validity 
For your stupidity 
I'm chomping at the bit 
I'm sharpening the axe 
Here I come again, whoa! 
Sweating bullets

Trust
Lost in a dream 
Nothing is what it seems 
Searching my head 
For the words that you said 

Tears filled my eyes 
As we said our last goodbyes 
The sad scene replays 
Of you walking away 

Chorus 
My body aches from mistakes 
Betrayed by lust 
We lied to each other so much 
That in nothing we trust 

Time and again 
She repeats let's be friends 
I smile and say yes 
Another truth bends, 
I must confess 

I try to let go, but I know 
We'll never end 'til we're dust 
We lied to each other again 
But I wish I could trust 

Chorus 
My body aches from mustakes 
Betrayed by lust 
We lied to each other so much 
That in nothing we trust 
God help me please, on my knees 
Betrayed by lust 
We lied to each other so much 
Now there's nothing we trust 

Spoken 
How could this be happening to me 
I'm lying when I say, “Trust me” 
I can't believe this is true 
Trust hurts 
Why does trust equal suffering?

Solo 

Chorus 

My body aches from mistakes 
Betrayed by lust 
We lied to each other so much

Absolutely nothing we trust

Led rats through the streets

Before the head explodes.

Peace Sells
What do you mean, “I don't believe in God”?
I talk to him every day. 
What do you mean, “I don‘t support your system”?
I go to court when I have to. 
What do you mean, “I can't get to work on time”?
I got nothing better to do 
And, what do you mean, “I don't pay my bills”?
Why do you think I'm broke' Huh?

Chorus 
If there's a new way, 
I'll be the first in line. 
But, it better work this time. 

What do you mean, “I hurt your feelings”?
I didn't know you had any feelings. 
What do you mean, “I ain't kind”?
I'm just not your kind. 
What do you mean, “I couldn't be president, of the United States of America”?
Tell me something, it's still “We the people,” right?

Chorus 

Can you put a price on peace?
Peace, 
Peace sells' 
Peace, 
Peace sells' 
Peace sells' but who's buying?
Peace sells' but who's buying?
Peace sells' but who's buying?
Peace sells' but who's buying?
No, peace sells'

Holy Wars... The Punishment Due
Brother will kill brother 
Spilling blood across the land 
Killing for religion 
Something I don't understand 

Fools like me,who cross the sea 
And come to foreign lands 
Ask the sheep, for their beliefs 
Do you kill on God's command?

A country that's divided 
Surely will not stand 
My past erased, no more disgrace 
No foolish naive stand 

The end is near, it's crystal clear 
Part of the master plan 
Don't look now to Israel 
It might be your homelands 

Holy wars 

Upon my podium, as the 
Know it all scholar 
Down in my seat of judgement 
Gavel's bang,uphold the law 
Up on my soapbox, a leader 
Out to change the world 
Down in my pulpit as the holler 
Than-thou-could-be-messenger of God





Wage the war on organized crime 
Sneak attacks, repel down the rocks 
Behind the lines 
Some people risk to employ me 
Some people live to destroy me 
Either way they die 

They killed my wife, and my baby 
With hopes to enslave me 
First mistake' last mistake! 
Paid by the alliance, to slay all the giants 
Next mistake... no more mistakes! 

Fill the cracks in,with judicial granite 
Because I don't say it, don't mean I ain't thinkin' it 
Next thing you know, they'll take my thoughts away 
I know what I said, now I must scream of the overdose 
And the lack of mercy killings
