Released: June 17, 1997
Note: Very "Youthanasia-like" songs with a few that are their heaviest since Rust in Peace although not very complex or structured in a unique way. Good album that should sell well and appeal to most rock listeners. Get info on the album.
Music by: Dave Mustaine
Tears filled my eyes
My body aches from mistakes
Time and again
I try to let go, but I know
My body aches from mustakes
God help me please, on my knees
How could this be happening to me
Absolutely nothing we trust
Music by: Dave Mustaine
Living alone, can't stand this place
I was nearly pure
Living alone, falling from grace
I question your call by the tone of your voice
Almost, almost honest
Music by: Dave Mustaine
Looking back at what he left
I've seen the man use the needle, seen the needle use the man
Just one shot to say goodbye
He hangs his head and wonders why
I've seen the man use the needle, seen the needle use that man
Music by: Dave Mustaine
Mastermind, I tell you waht to thing
Invade the core of souls to wipe the lives away
I tell you what's real
Hail to the power age, lest the viral hour comes
I tell you what to think
Subject
Music by: Dave Mustaine
Hide in the shadows
We say retribution
Coming down the road
Anarchy's coming to town
Anarchy's coming
Music by: Dave Mustaine
Like a nuclear reactor
All the innuendo
Ah, I'll get even with you
I'm bitter and I'm twisted
I'm like a bomb that's ticking,
I'll get you back somehow
Ah, I'll get even with you
You better look behind you
He's slightly schizophrenic
Ah, I'll get even with you
Music by: Dave Mustaine
Deep inside I've seen it rise
Not one to be forgot
Pressure coming down
Nervous, like a car
Reasons, deep in me
Music by: Dave Mustaine
Welcome to my hide away, my secret place
Let me in, get me out
I hide from those that try to find me
Music by: Dave Mustaine
Face it and fight or turn high tail and run
There's no recess and no rules in the school of life
Tell myself it ain't true, they just cannot see
Music by: Dave Mustaine
The rite of the praying mantis
One look in her lusting eyes
My desires of flesh obey me
Beware what stalks you in the night
Music by: Dave Mustaine
Curse the falling rain
As medieval as Merlin
Searching the domain
A telestic message
Music by: Dave Mustaine
Crushing down, caving in our will to live
Fight for freedom, fight authority
Cry for absolution, it's not the end for me
Crushing down, caving in our will to live
Fight!... It's my country
Music by: Dave Mustaine
One thing makes you feel brand new
You call my number in the middle of the night
One Thing
One thing
You call my name in the middle of the night
I know what you do
One Thing
Just the one thing gets you in the mood
Trust
Lyrics by: Dave Mustaine, 1996
Note:
Nothing is what it seems
Searching my head
For the words that you said
As we said our last goodbyes
The sad scene replays
Of you walking away
Betrayed by lust
We lied to each other so much
That in nothing we trust
She repeats let's be friends
I smile and say yes
Another truth bends,
I must confess
We'll never end 'til we're dust
We lied to each other again
But I wish I could trust
Betrayed by lust
We lied to each other so much
That in nothing we trust
Betrayed by lust
We lied to each other so much
Now there's nothing we trust
I'm lying when I say, "Trust me"
I can't believe this is true
Trust hurts
Why does trust equal suffering
Almost Honest
Lyrics by: Dave Mustaine, 1996
Note:
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
It's four in the morning and I still see your face
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
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 know I should hang up but I don't have a choice
It happend that night when you told me to go
Don't ask who's to blame, I don't know
Almost, I was almost honest
Use the Man
Lyrics by: Dave Mustaine, 1996
Note:
There was no last goodbyes to say
His will to live ran out
I heard somebody turned to dust
A list of plans and photographs
Songs that never will be sung
These are the thinge he won't get done
I've seen them crawl from the cradle to the gutter on their hands
The fight a war but it's fatal, it's so hard to understand
I've seen the man use the needle, seen the needle use that man
One last taste to mourn and cry
Scores and shoots, the lights go dim
Just one shot to do him in
Why the monkey only lies
But pay the pauper, he did choose
He hing his head inside the noose
I've seen them crawl from the cradle to the coffin on their hands
They fight a war but it's fatal, it's so hard to understand
I've seen the man use the needle, seen the needle in his hand
Cryptic writing on the wall, the beginning of the end
I've seen myself use the needle, seen the needle in my hand
Mastermind
Lyrics by: Dave Mustaine, 1996
Note:
Destroy the logic volume in the confines of the mind
Enmassed and purposeless, marching in a perfect line
Neo-neuro torture, mental meltdoen, a heinous crime
I tell you what you need
I tell you what to feel
Design vacant beings, welcome the inhuman race
Encrypted horrow codes, directive psyche overwrite
Processing brains to pabulum,
Delete and format living drives
Raise the flag of voltage, bow to circuitry unknown
Kneel before the processor, lords of static laugh
Electrons in submissing, you must know who I am
I don't care what you thought
I tell you what to get
I don't care what you got
The Disintegrators
Lyrics by: Dave Mustaine, 1996
Note:
On a black horse of steel
Trouble is coming
Hell on two wheels
Awaiting defeat
Or live by the sword
And choose to be free
We say vengeance is bliss
We say revolution
With a cast iron first
Watching every move
Kicking in the doors
Taking what we choose
A fiery invader
Burning it down to the ground
The Disintegrators
Here it comes
Burning it down to the ground
The Disintegrators
I'll Get Even
Lyrics by: Dave Mustaine, 1996
Note:
Washed up, left for dead
I'm lost inside the desert
Of ever word you said
or TNT
I'm thinking about the times
When you lied to me
Caught up on your hook
I was just a name
In your little black book
I haven't slept in days
I'm lonely and I'm angry
I can't make it go away
I got voices in my head
I got a doll with needles in
Wishing you were dead
That's what I'm gonna do
I'll get you back somehow
Your nightmare coming true
Ah, That's what I'm gonna do
Gonna get even with you
'Cause there I'm gonna be
I'll be standing in the shadows
With who I used to be
Me and me and me and me agree
That you are gonna pay
For what you did to me
Gonna get even with you
Ah, that's what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna...
Ah, I'll get even with you
Sin
Lyrics by: Dave Mustaine, 1996
Note:
Complete life in disarray
A simple man, power drunk
No worries of living, no more anything
Actions progress to no end
Mirror, mirror please look inside
Do you see that reasons that we sin
Spoiled rotten, so they say
Once burned, forever marked
Hurt by just a few but so many have to pay
Down on me, gonna break
Broken fingernails
Digging in, scratch my face
Gonna jump through my skin
Shadows on the wall
Stretching out, grope for me
Let me be
Let me bleed
Set me free
The reasons that we sin
A Secret Place
Lyrics by: Dave Mustaine, 1996
Note:
Everyone is there but their face don't show
If you get inside you can't get out
There's no coming back, I hear them shout
How I arrived I can't explain
You're welcome to, if you want to stay
But everyone just runs away
Can't do more then twist and shout
Lost my soul without a trace
Found it again in my secret place
In discrace
Scary things that's right behind me
I lost myself, I must confess
I can't explain how I got this mess
Have Cool, Will Travel
Lyrics by: Dave Mustaine, 1996
Note:
Wishing it will go away, but nothing's getting done
A shot heard 'round the world, when a mother's baby dies
We the people, point our fingers, blame and wonder why
'Til it comes back again just like the rising sun
Say they do all they can, it's just another lie
The answer's plain to see, nobody wants to try
If you listen very closely you'll see what it's like
Have cool, will travel
Grown up or sewn up, the medicine's worse then the disease
I have cool, will travel
Here we go
Shewolf
Lyrics by: Dave Mustaine, 1996
Note:
Her lips are poisonous venom
Wicked temptress knows how to please
The priestess roars, "Get down on your knees"
Kiss the bones of the enchantress
Spellbound searching through the night
A howling man surrenders the fight
Savage fear in you will rise
Teeth of terror sinking in
The bite of the she-wolf
The lioness will enslave me
Another heart beat than my own
The sound of claws on cobblestone, I'm stoned
Beware the she-wolf and her bite
Her mystic lips tell only lies
Her hidden will to kill in disguise
Vortex
Lyrics by: Dave Mustaine, 1996
Note:
Multiple personalities
Terror inside of me
A mask of silent agony
The vortex of pain
A pact for power was made
Lucifer in transition
It's time the price was paid
The vortex of pain
Writtin in torment
Howl out dirges
Like the horns of Jericho
Distorted faces
Writhing in rage
Walls of purgatory
Tumble down
Endless death
The jewls of a crown
FFF
Lyrics by: Dave Mustaine, 1996
Note: Very similar to "Motorbreath" (MetallicA - Kill'em All)
Eliminate the poor, how much longer will it take
Burning up the tents of the rank and file
Exterminate their lives, crack a demon smile
Getting rid of man's mistakes
To take a lost life, lock it up, break it down
How much more can we take
Fight for anything, my country tis' of me
A last minute pardon, one final reprieve
Resist the war maching, don't get in its path
Fight to die a free man and reap the aftermath
Getting rid of man's mistakes
To take a lost life, lock it up, break it down
I don't know how much more I can take
One Thing
Lyrics by: Dave Mustaine, 1996
Note:
That I got for you
Is the one thing
That you never do
Is the one thing that your coming to
Just the one thing
Gets you in the mood
To tell me nothing else can make you feel alright
But its rings and rings you hang it up
And call me back again
That I got for you
Is the one thing
That you never do
That you got to choose
Is the one thing you can never lose
Just the one thing is your attitude
When your makin' love and it feels alright
But it's him not me
Can't you see a shot of reality?
I know what you want to do
I know when the lights go out
I know what you are gonna to do
That I got for you
Is the one thing
That you never do
Just the one thing its your attitude
One thing is one thing
Just the one thing
Oh!
