MEGADETH - SET THE WORLD AFIRE RED FLASH CLOUDS CHOKING OUT THE MORNING SKY THEY SAID IT'D

MEGADETH - SET THE WORLD AFIRE

RED FLASH CLOUDS CHOKING OUT THE MORNING SKY
THEY SAID IT'D NEVER COME - WE KNEW IT WAS A LIE
ALL FORMS OF LIFE DIE NOW - THE HUMANS ALL SUCCUMB
TIME TO KISS YOUR ASS GOODBYE - THE END HAS JUST BEGUN

DISTORTED FIGURES WALK THE STREET ITS 1999
WEEDS ONCE UNDERNEATH YOUR FEET HAVE GROWN TO VINES
BODIES MELTING LIKE A CANDLE - A LAND WITHOUT A FACE
NO TIME TO CHANGE YOUR FATE - NO TIME LEFT - ITS TOO LATE

THE ARSENAL OF MEGADETH CANT BE RID THEY SAID
AND IF IT COMES THE LIVING WILL ENVY THE DEAD
RACING FOR POWER - AND ALL COME IN LAST
NO WINNING FIRST STONE CAST
THIS FALSEHOOD WORLDLY PEACE
ITS TREATIES SOON WILL CEASE

NO ONE WILL BE LEFT TO PROVE THAT HUMANS EXISTED
MAYBE SOON THE CHILDREN WILL BE BORN OPEN FISTED
WE ALL LIVE ON ONE PLANET - IT WILL ALL GO UP IN SMOKE

TOO BAD THEY COULDNT SEE
THIS LETHAL ENERGY
AND NOW THE FINAL SCENE
A GLOBAL DARKENING

DIG DEEP PILES OF RUBBLE AND RUIN
TOWERING OVERHEAD BOTH FAR AND WIDE
THERE'S UNKNOWN TOOLS FOR WORLD WAR III
EINSTEIN SAID "WE'LL USE ROCKS ON THE OTHER SIDE"

NO SURVIVORS
SET THE WORLD AFIRE
