Into The Lungs Of Hell

Set the World Afire 

(Music, Lyrics: Mustaine) 

"I just want to 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, it's 1999 
Weeds once underneath the feet have grown to vines 
Bodies melted like a candle, a land without a face 
No time to change your fate, no time left, it's too late 
The aresenal of Megadeth can't be rid of 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 wordly 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 and it will all go up in smoke 
Too bad they couldn't see this lethal energy 
And now the final scene, a global darkening 
Dig deep the 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! 


Anarchy in the U.K. 

(Music, Lyrics: Glen Matlock, Johnny Rotten, Paul Cook, Steve Jones) 

Right now 
I am an Antichrist 
And I am an anarchist 
Don't know what I want but I know how to get it 
I want to destroy, possibly 
'Cause I want to be anarchy 
No dog's body 
Anarchy for the USA 
It's coming sometime, it may be 
I give a wrong time, stop a traffic light 
Your future dream is a shopping spree 
'Cause I want to be anarchy 
In the city 
Of many ways to get what you want 
I use the best, I use the rest 
I use the enemy 
I use anarchy 
'Cause I want to be anarchy 
It's the only way to be 
Is this the MPLA? 
Is this the UDA? 
Is this the IRA? 
I thought it was the USA 
Or just another country 
And other cunt-like tendencies 
'Cause I want to be anarchy 
You know what I mean 
'Cause I want to be an anarchist 
Again I'm pissed! Destroy! 


Mary Jane 

(Music: Mustaine, Lyrics: Mustaine, Ellefson) 

Forgive me father for I have sinned 
I'm a child of the air, I'm a witch of the wind 
And I'm still wide awake...Mary Jane 
From the earth up through the trees 
I can here her calling me 
Her voice rides on the breeze 
Oh, it's haunting me 
No, I can't get away 
No, there's no escape 
If I know I'm going crazy I must not be insane 
Beware my friends as you pass by 
As you are now so once was I 
As I am now so you must be 
Prepare my friends to follow me 
Forgive me father for I have sinned 
I'm a child of the air, I'm a witch of the wind 
Fingers gripped around my brain 
No control, my mind is lame 
I'm in the astral plane and I'll never be the same 
Never, never...never 
It hurts so bad I can't breathe 
Prepare to follow me 


502 

(Music, Lyrics: Mustaine) 

Pull over, shithead, this is the cops 
Full tank, pockets lined with cash 
Full throttle, gonna rip some ass 
Drive all day and through the night 
Romance the road, winding left to right 
The stars above guide me, the moonlight is free 
A feeling inside me and the whole world to see 
Driving fast makes me feel good 
The speed of light trapped under my hood 
Breaking laws 'cause there's nothing to do 
Driving the interstate, stopped for a 502 
Hundreds of miles rolled off today 
Signs lose their meanings, minutes tick away 
Dirt roads to interstates, I must have drove them all 
Cigarettes and burgers, caffeine and alcohol 
Drive until daybreak, always on the go 
Life on the freeway, night shift 'til dawn patrol 
Driving fast makes me feel good 
The speed of light trapped under my hood 
Breaking laws 'cause there's nothing to do 
Driving the interstate, stopped for a 502 
Stopped for a 502, next time it's gonna be you 
Stars above guide me, this feeling inside me 
I drive until daybreak 
Life on the freeway is Hell, I'm coming through 


In My Darkest Hour 

(Music: Mustaine, Lyrics: Mustaine, Ellefson) 

In my hour of need, hmph, you're not there 
And though I reach out for you...wouldn't lend a hand 
Through my darkest hour, grace did not shine on me 
It feels so cold, very cold, no one cares for me 
Did you ever think I get lonely? 
Did you ever think that I needed love? 
Did you ever think to stop thinking you're the only one that I'm thining of? 
You'll never know how hard I tried 
To find my space and satisfy you too 
Things will be better when I'm dead and gone 
Don't try to understand 
Knowing you, I'm probably wrong 
But oh, how I lived my life for you 
Still you'd turn away 
Now as I die for you 
My flesh still crawls as I breathe your name 
All there years I thought I was wrong 
Now I know it was you 
Raise your head, raise your face, your eyes 
Tell me who you think you are, who? 
I walk, I walk alone into the promised land. 
There's a better place for me but it's far, far away 
Everlasting life for me in a perfect world 
But I gotta die first 
Please God send me on my way 
Time has a way of taking time 
Lonliness is not only felt by fools 
Alone I call to ease the pain, yearing to be held by you 
Alone, so alone, I'm lost, consumed by the pain 
The pain, the pain, the pain, won't you hold me again? 
You just laughed, ha ha, bitch! 
My whole life is work built on the past 
But the time has come when all things shall pass 
The good has passed away 
In my darkest hour 


Liar 

(Music: Mustaine, Ellefson, Lyrics: Mustaine) 

You take great pride in never having lived up to anything 
Lie, steal, cheat and kill, a real bad guy 
Your daddy is a wino and you mommy's quite insane 
From altar boy to sewer rat, you don't give a damn 
You're sister is a junkie, gets 'it' any way she can 
Your brother's a gay singer in a stud leather band 
Your girlfriend's got herpes to go with your Hep and AIDS 
There ain't one person you know you 'aint ripped off yet 
Look deep in the mirror, look deep into its eye 
Your face is replaced, as creature you despise 
But I know what you're made of, it ain't much I'm afraid 
I know you'll be lying until your dying day 
Make up your stories, the truth's so hard to say 
Your mind is sickly from Alzheimer's disease 
And decadence and debauchery killed your memories 
You're a liar, liar, liar, everyone can see 
Liar, liar, it's all you'll ever be 
Liar, liar, liar, it's what you mean to me 
Liar, liar, lies 
Start trouble, spread pain 
Piss and venom in your veins 
Talk nasty, breathe fire 
Smell rotten, you're a liar 
Sweat liquor, breathe snot 
Eat garbage, spit blood 
Diseased, health hazard 
Scum bag, filthy bastard 
Greasy face, teeth decay 
Hair matted, drunk all day 
Absessed, sunken veins 
Rot gut, scrambled brain 
Steal money, crash cars 
Rob jewelry, hock guitars 
Rot in Hell, it's time you know 
To your master, off you go 
You're a liar, a fucking liar! 
Filthy liar, liar! 
You fucking liar, liar! 


Hook in Mouth 

(Music: Mustaine, Ellefson, Lyrics: Mustaine) 

A cockroach in the concrete, courthouse tan and beady eyes 
A slouch with fallen arches, purging truths into great lies 
A little man with a big eraser, changing history 
Procedures that he's programmed to, all he hears and sees 
Altering the facts and figures, events and every issue 
Make a person disappear and no one will ever miss you 
Rewrites every story, every poem that ever was 
Eliminates incompetence and those who break the laws 
Follw the instructions from the New Way's Evil Book of Rules 
Replacing rights with wrongs, the files and records in the schools 
You say you've got the answers, well, who asked you anyway? 
Ever think maybe it was meant to be this way? 
Don't try to fool us, we know the worst is yet to come 
I believe my kingdom will come 
F is for fighting 
R is for red, ancestors' blood in battles they've shed 
E, we elect them 
E, we eject them, in the land of the free and the home of the brave 
D for your dying 
O, your overture 
M, they will cover your grave with manure 
This spells out freedom, it means nothing to me 
As long as there's a PMRC 
F is for fighting 
R is for red, ancestors' blood in battles they've shed 
E, we elect them 
E, we eject them, in the land of the free and the home of the brave 
D for your dying 
O, your overture 
M is for money and you know what that cures 
This spells out freedom, it means nothing to me 
As long as there's a PMRC 
Put your hand right up my shirt 
Pull the strings that me me work 
Jaws will part, words fall out 
Like a fish, with hook in my mouth! 
Rewrites every story, every poem that ever was 
Eliminates incompetence and those who break the laws 
Follw the instructions from the New Way's Evil Book of Rules 
Replacing rights with wrongs, the files and records in the schools 
I'm not a fish, I'm a man 
Hook in mouth!
