Special Live Track @SONG: Sleepwalker (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 is 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 is 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 Repeat Choruses @SONG: Washington Is Next (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 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 no more The word predicts the future and tells the truth about the past Of how the world leaders will hail the new Pharaoh 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 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 no more The word predicts my future and tells the truth about my past Of how the world leaders are waiting to usher The eighth world power of modern Rome; Washington is Next! Solo - Mustaine solo - Drover Solo - Mustaine Solo - Drover There was a king, an evil king Who dreamt the wickedest 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 no more I am a king and I dream the wildest dreams And nobody could interpret Seven empires fallen, the wolf is at my door Oh, 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 crosshair, now, ain't that a bitch? Washington, you're next! @SONG: Never Walk Alone...A Call To Arms (Mustaine, Drover) Hiding in any doorway, in any shadow Any place where danger waits to kill my time There is one who lives in wait, 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 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 take your pain away, forever and a day If you'd 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 and you still hated me I'm coming and it won't be long Its time to reap what I have sown Never, ever let you walk alone I know you enemy, it once was me Solo - Drover Solo - Mustaine @SONG: United Abominations (Mustaine) Within striking distance from Ground Zero sits a smoldering International cauldron, the "United Abominations" as it were Born to prevent wars, it froze in the face of disaster and Stood silent while terrorization took hostage the world In a mire of hypocrisy, the UN ignores sex crimes by its "blue-helmets", and enables terrorism; so in the end it's failed And the UN is where your so called "friends" get to stab us In the back and we pay 22% of their tab to host our enemies Here at home. Ambassadors from countries otherwise known As a catastrophe, enjoy diplomatic immunity living in Manhattan, while their children are turned into prostitutes 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 fats of their lands There's no blood on their hands, right Kojo? They promised to tell the truth without leaving a fingerprint 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 Its payback time at 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, Iran and Korea 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 Solo - Drover Man: The U.N. writes resolution upon resolution. We really need a new world order. Woman: There is no such order. I don't believe it. I don't even listen to the talk of this new world order. Man: They'll never do anything. Solo - Mustaine Solo - Drover NATO invaded Yugoslavia to end ethnic cleansing There was no UN The US invaded Afghanistan after 9/11 There was no UN Sadam 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 And 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 @SONG: Gears Of War (Mustaine) Ethnic cleansing with no defending These acts of genocide A fatal ending with no surrending 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 Solo - Drover Solo - Mustaine Solo - Drover @SONG: Blessed Are The Dead (Mustaine) A great sign appeared Under the stars and the moon Sounds of galloping horses On clouds of lightning and thunder A dark and 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 fiery 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 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 fiery 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 Blessing the dead Solo - Drover Solo - Mustaine Solo - Drover @SONG: Play For Blood (Mustaine) Solo - Mustaine Anybody searching for action Anything to fill the emptiness inside Any place that the streets are empty Any takers wanna pour out their lives With fire and lightning shooting from my hand And desolation written across my eyes My itchy finger on a 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!

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 Haliburton" 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 envision 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 Solo - Drover Solo - Mustaine @SONG: You're Dead (Mustaine) When someone becomes nothing to anyone All feelings have died, anyone would know it They say those sticks and stones They say they 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 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 We're all just trying to hold on to innocence You think they'd notice 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 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 - Drove Solo - Mustaine One day I'll dance on your grave Even if you are 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" Solo - Drover @SONG: Burnt Ice (Mustaine) Solo - Mustaine 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 - Drover 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 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 Solo - Mustaine No lyrics for the bonus songs: 12.
