Megadeth - Rust In Peace [Full Album 1990]

Lyrics to Rust In Peace [Full Album 1990] by Megadeth

Tracklist: 01. Holy Wars...The Punishment Due [Instrumental] [Verse 1] 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 homeland Holy wars... [The Punishment Due] [Verse 2] 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 holier-than-thou-could-be-messenger of God [Verse 3] Wage the war on organized crime Sneak attacks, rappel down the rocks, behind the lines Some people risk to employ me Some people live to destroy me Either way they die... they die! [Verse 4] 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! [Guitar Solo & Instrumental Shift] [Verse 5] Fill the cracks in with judicial granite Because I don't say it don't mean I ain't thinking 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 Mercy killings Mercy killings, killings, killings, killings Next thing you know, they'll take my thoughts away 02. Hangar 18 [Intrumental intro] [Verse 1] Welcome to our fortress tall I'll 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 [Refrain] Possibly I've seen too much Hangar 18, I know too much [Verse 2] 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 [Refrain] Possibly I've seen too much Hangar 18, I know too much [Instrumental with 11 Guitar Solos] 03. Take No Prisoners [Verse 1] Got one chance, (infiltrate them) Get it right, (terminate them) The Panzers will (permeate them) Break their pride (denigrate them) And their people (retrograde them) Typhus, (deteriorate them) Epidemic (devastate them) Take no prisoners, (cremate them) Burn! [Verse 2] Going to war, give them hell D-Day, next stop Normandy Beginning of the end We know how to and sure as shit, we'll win War is peace, sure man A retreat for the damned A playground for the demented A haven for those who walk this world bereft of heart and soul [Verse 3] Love and war, they say all is fair Take his life, but won't take his hair Your body parts your country spares By the way son, here's your wheelchair He once had to be all he could be Now he's nothing for no one, nowhere to see Funny thing, he's like you and me It's a funny thing, funny thing Tears streak his solemn stare Abandoned for wreckage, nobody cares No one knew what would happen there No one spoke, no one even cared Don't ask what you can do for your country Ask what your country can do for you [Outro] Take no prisoners, take no shit Take no prisoners, take no shit Take no prisoners, take no shit Take no prisoners, take no... shit! 04. Five Magics [Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] Bestow upon me knowledge Wizard, all-knowing, all-wise I want to rule this kingdom Make sweet the breeze, now defiled Dethrone the evil prince's iron fists In velvet gloves of sin Parade the grey-robed monks The vestal virgins wheel the wyvern's in [Guitar Solo] [Verse 2] Let the ceremony consecrate the marriage Let me be the protégé of five magics Give me alchemy, give me wizardry Give me sorcery, thermatology Electricity, magic if you please Master all of these, bring him to his knees [Bridge] I master five magics I master five magics I master five magics I master five magics [Verse 3] Possessed with Hellish torment (Possessed with Hellish torment) I master magics "five" (I master magics "five") Hunting the abyss lord (Hunting the abyss lord) Only one will stay alive (Only one will stay alive) He who lives by the sword (He who lives by the sword) Will surely also die (Will surely also die) He who lives in sin (He who lives in sin) Will surely live the lie [Instrumental Outro] 05. Poison Was The Cure [Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] I miss the warm embrace I felt First time you touched me Secure and safe in open arms I should have known you'd crush me A snake you were when we met I loved you anyway Pulling out your poison fangs The venom never goes away Serpent swims free in my blood Dragons sleeping in my veins Jackyl speaking with my tongue Roach egg laying in my brain [Verse 2] Once stalked beneath your shadow Sleepwalking to the gallows I'm the sun that beats your brow in 'Til I finally threw the towel in Never knowing if I'd wake up In a whirlpool, got redundant My brain was just some driftwood In a cesspool, I became dead From a rockstar to a desk fool Was my destiny, someone said Love's a tide pool Taste the water, life's abundant Taste me! [Instrumental Outro] 06. Lucretia [Verse 1] Sitting up late at night I tiptoe through the darkness Cold as Hell, black as spades Aware of my immediate surroundings In my place, I escape Up into my hideout Hiding from everyone My friends all say "Dave, you're mental anyway." (Hey!) Drift into a deeper state I stalk the cobwebbed stairways Dirt grits beneath my feet The stair creaks, I precariously sneak, hey [Verse 2] Hypnosis guides my hand I slip-slide through the walkways Sit in Granny's rocking chair Memories are whirling by (Yeah!) Reminiscing in the attic Lucretia waits impatiently Cobwebs make me squint The cobra so eloquently glints Moonbeams surge through the sky The crystal ball is energised Surely that, like the cat Waiting, Lucretia rocks away (Hey!) [Instrumental Outro] 07. Tornado Of Souls [Verse 1] 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 a tornado I can't replace the lies that let a thousand days go No more living trapped inside, in her way I'll surely die In the eye of the tornado, blow me away [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] But now I'm safe in the eye of a tornado I can't replace the lies that let a thousand days go No more living trapped inside, in her way I'll surely die In the eye of the tornado, blow me away [Bridge] 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 [Verse 3] The land of opportunity The golden chance for me My future looks so bright Now I think I've seen the light [Guitar Solo] [Verse 4] 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 [Verse 5] I warn you of the fate Proven true too late Your tongue twists 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'll feel my fingertips You won't forget my lips You'll feel my cold breath It's the kiss of death 08. Dawn Patrol [Verse 1] Thermal count is rising In perpetual writhing The primordial ooze And the sanity they lose Awakened in the morning To more air pollution warnings Still we sleepwalk off to work While our n-n-n-nervous systems jerk [Verse 2] Pretending not to notice How history had forebode us With the greenhouse in effect Our environment was wrecked Now I can only laugh As I read our epitaph We end our lives as moles In the dark of dawn patrol 09. Rust In Peace...Polaris [Verse 1] Tremble, you weaklings, cower in fear I am your ruler - land, sea, and air Immense in my girth, erect I stand tall I am a nuclear murderer, I am Polaris Ready to pounce at the touch of a button My system's locked in for military gluttons I rule on land, air, and sea I pass judgment on humanity Winds blow from the bowels of Hell Will we give warning? Only time will tell Satan rears his ugly head To spit into the wind [Chorus] I spread disease like a dog, discharge my payload A mile high, rotten egg air of death wrestles your nostrils I spread disease like a dog, discharge my payload A mile high, rotten egg air of death wrestles your nostrils Launch the Polaris The end doesn't scare us When will this cease? The warheads will all rust in peace [Verse 2] Bomb shelters filled to the brim Heh, survival, such a silly whim World leaders sell missiles cheap Your stomach turns, your flesh creeps I rule land, air, and sea Pass judgment on humanity Winds blow from the bowels of Hell Will we give warning? Well only time will tell [Chorus] I spread disease like a dog, discharge my payload A mile high, rotten egg air of death wrestles your nostrils I spread disease like a dog, discharge my payload A mile high, rotten egg air of death wrestles your nostrils Launch the Polaris The end doesn't scare us When will this cease? The warheads will all rust in peace [Verse 3] High priest of holocaust, fire from the sea Nuclear winter, spreading disease The day of final conflict, all pay the price The third world war rapes peace, takes life Back to the start, die in the pyre When the Earth was cold as ice Total dismay as the sun passed away And the days were black as night [Chorus] I spread disease like a dog, discharge my payload A mile high, rotten egg air of death wrestles your nostrils I spread disease like a dog, discharge my payload A mile high, rotten egg air of death wrestles your nostrils Launch the Polaris It doesn't scare us When will this cease? The warheads will all rust in peace [Polaris] [Outro] Eradication of Earth's population loves Polaris Eradication of Earth's population loves Polaris [Instrumental] Eradication of Earth's population loves Polaris Eradication of Earth's population loves Polaris
