Muzyka i słowa: Dave Mustaine

Solo - Mustaine

Now before they take me
And my blessed life
Now you'll know
Why deth was summoned here tonight
I'll recall my perils
They'll kill me in pride
No, I can't run away
There's no place to hide

Though too much to live for
I owe enough to die
Ask not for salvation
My deth shall mean their lives
Hatred and guilt - the alter they've built
High priests of sin
Destiny, fate the wicked ones' gate
Beckoning you in

Down the walkways
Through the bloodstained town
Looking down the cross,
Bleeding from the crown
Led to stay
To die beside the thieves
Kill the King
Of the world to be

And now to you, this will come
A putrifying pestilence
More noxious than the serpent's breath
Male volenty destined
More corrupt than the malice of Choronzon
More diseased than the wind
Of the moonlight sun

Putrifaction you have caused
No need for confession
Now you wish you had a god
To stop your demolition
Crushing the bones of the hundred folds
Swinging the judgment hammer
Man, woman, child, no one is safe
The heads of the dead are the banner

And this was all you got
So don these broken wings
Sands of time run out
Bells of Hades ring
Is this a nightmare to unhallow thy name?
Smell of brimstone dancing in the flames
No help now as you fulfill his task
Chief of evil has got you by the ass

Set free to sit upon the throne
Just a dream? You're weeping all alone

Solo - Mustaine

Looking down the cross, speak no evil
I'm looking down the cross, speak no evil
