Dread and the fugitive mind
Trust
Time: the beginning
Use the man
Holy wars... The Punishment due
Almost honest
Promises
She-wolf
Moto psycho
Symphony of destruction
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

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 
That in nothing we trust 
God help me please, on my knees 
Betrayed by lust 
We lied to each other so much 

Absolutely nothing we trust

Time: the beginning
Father time, I'm running late
I'm winding down, I'm growing tired
Seconds drift into the night
The clock just ticks till my time expires

You were once my friend
Now I know I can't tie your hands
The days I saved I couldn't spend
They fell like sand through the hourglass
No time to lose, no time to choose

Time taking time, it's taken mine
Scenes of my life seem so unkind
Time chasing time creeps up behind
I can't run forever, and time waits for no one
Not even me

An enemy I can't defend
My final place a deadly end
Life's just a speck in space
Dreams of an eternal resting place

I can't get any younger
Time has brutal hunger

Use the man
I heard somebody fixed today 
There was no last goodbyes to say 
His will to live ran out 
I heard somebody turned to dust 

Looking back at what he left 
A list of plans and photographs 
Songs that never will be sung 
These are the things he won't get done 

Chorus 
I've seen the man use the needle (seen the needle use the man) 
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 the man) 

Just one shot to say goodbye 
One last taste to mourn and cry 
Scores and shoots, the lights go dim 
Just one shot to do him in 

He hangs his head and wonders why 
Why the monkey only lies 
But pay the pauper, he did choose 
He hing his head inside the noose 

Chorus 
I've seen the man use the needle (seen the needle use the man) 
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 hands) 
Cryptic writing on the wall (the beginning of the end) 
I've seen myself use the needle (seen the needle in my hands) 

I've seen the man use the needle (seen the needle use the man) 
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 myself use the needle (seen the needle in my hands) 

In my hands 
(Repeat twice)

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

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 
(Repeat)

Promises
Two hearts that shouldn't
Talk to each other become close
In a town much like a prison cell

People speak our names
On the street in hushed tones
Oh the stories they'd tell
If anyone would listen

You come from a town where
People don't bother saying hello
Unless somebody's born or dies

And I come from a place where they
Drag your hopes through the mud
Because their own dreams are all dying

And when we walk down the street
The wind sings our name in rebel songs
The sounds of the night should make us anxious
But it's much to late when the fear is gone

I will meet you in the Next Life, I promise you
Where we can be together, I promise you
I will wait till then in Heaven, I promise you
I promise, I promise

There's so many fighting
To get past the Pearly Gates
But nobody ever wants to die or get saved

Their intentions aren't that good
And I can smell the asphalt
That's their personal road to hell being paved

And when we walk down the street
The wind sings our name in rebel songs
But it's much to late when the fear is gone

I will meet you in the Next Life, I promise you
Where we can be together, I promise you
I will wait till then in Heaven, I promise you
I promise, I promise

Solo - Pitrelli / Solo - Mustaine

I will meet you in the Next Life, I promise you
Where we can be together, I promise you
I will wait till then in Heaven, I promise you
I promise, I promise

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

Moto psycho
Responsibility, an anchor around my neck
Dependability, made me a nervous wreck
Accountability, I live from check to check
Volatility, neglect and no respect

Got my wheels in motion and I got a path to beat
I hit the road to "I don't know" and look for "Tough Shit Street"

Solo - Pitrelli

One-way ticket nowhere there's no windows on this train
Can't see where I'm headed but I'm going there again

Moto Psycho
Going nowhere everybody is a
Moto Psycho move it or lose it baby
Going nowhere 100 miles an hour
Moto Psycho I'm a Moto Psycho
Moto Psycho

You know you can't resist to tell me what I mean
You gave my mind a twist said that I was unclean
The actor runs the play and ad-libs in between
You're all that I resent my thoughts were so obscene

Got my wheels in motion and I got a path to beat
I hit the road to "I don't know" and look for "Tough Shit Street"

Solo - Mustaine

One-way ticket nowhere there's no windows on this train
Can't see where I'm headed but I'm going there again

Moto Psycho
Going nowhere everybody is a
Moto Psycho move it or lose it baby
Going nowhere 100 miles an hour
Moto Psycho I'm a Moto Psycho

One-way ticket nowhere there's no windows on this train
Can't see where I'm headed but I'm going there again

Moto Psycho
Going nowhere everybody is a Moto Psycho
Going nowhere move it or lose it baby Moto Psycho
Going nowhere 100 miles an hour Moto Psycho
Where I'm headed I don't know but I'm shoving off and I hit the road
Going nowhere everybody is a Moto Psycho - time and time and time
again I'm a
Moto Psycho
Moto Psycho move it or lose it baby
Going nowhere 100 miles an hour
Moto Psycho I'm a Moto Psycho

Symphony of destruction
You take a mortal man, 
And put him in control 
Watch him become a god, 
Watch peoples heads a'roll 
A'roll' 
A'roll' 

Chorus 
Just like the Pied Piper 
Led rats through the streets 
We dance like marionettes, 
Swaying to the Symphony' 
Of Destruction 

Acting like a robot, 
Its metal brain corrodes. 
You try to take its pulse, 
Before the head explodes. 
Explodes' 
Explodes' 

Chorus 
Solo • Marty 

The Earth starts to rumble 
World powers fall 
A'warring for the heavens, 
A peaceful man stands tall 
A tall... 
A tall...
