MEGADETH Countdown to extinction
subtitled by : sherif hafez
My victims are rich or poor
young or old
strong or weak
I cause millions of accidents
I am cancer in your bones
I fathered the lie
twist what you say
speak not the truth
I am insidious
impartial
deep inside your chromosomes
I take what you love
and leave you in tears
I imprison your soul
your hopes are my games
I strip you of pride
my promise is in vain
While you burn at the stake
I dance with the flames
bring poverty, sickness and death
A worthless handshake
the slickest thief
I steal your wealth
I answer your prayers for greed and lust
More than evil
I laugh at your trust
I am more powerful than all the armies of the world
I am more violent than violence
more deadly than death
I have destroyed more men than all the nation's wars
I am relentless,unpredictable
waiting for your last breath
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
This sad scene replays
Of you walking away
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
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
Now there is nothing we trust
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
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
Now there is nothing we trust
My body aches from mistakes
Betrayed by lust
We lied to each other so much
God help me please
Betrayed by lust
We lied to each other so much
Absolutely nothing we trust
HANGAR 18
Welcome to our fortress tall
I'll take some time to show you around
Impossible to break these walls
For you see the steel is much too strong
Computer banks to rule the world
Instruments to sight the stars
Possibly I've seen too much
Hangar 18 I know too much.
Foreign life forms inventory
Suspended State of cryogenics
Selective amnesia's the story
Believed foretold but who'd suspect
militar... intelligence
Two words combined that can't make sense
Possibly I've seen too much
Hangar 18 I know too much.
PUBLIC ENEMY NO. 1
Public enemy number one
Jail break and a smoking gun
You won't believe the things I've done
And the killing is just for fun
Public enemy number one
A stolen car and I'm on the run
Through the night till the rising sun
And the trouble has just begun
Roses on your grave
I'll be on my way
There's no time to stay
With the enemies I've made
I'm invincible
You might say despicable
Punishment's reciprocal
Public enemy number one
I'm unbeatable
My mind is untreatable
Crimes unrepeatable
Public enemy number one
Watch the authorities come undone
With every stand-off that I've won
Flirting death just for fun
Public enemy number one
Born a fugitive father's son
Another heist of a bank is done
And the trouble has just begun
Roses on your grave
I'll be on my way
There's no time to stay
With the enemies I've made
I'm invincible
You might say despicable
Punishment's reciprocal
Public enemy number one
I'm unbeatable
My mind is untreatable
Crimes unrepeatable
Public enemy number one
The posters say I'm wanted
"Dead or Dead"
Anyone who's tried
got a bullet to the head
I'm invincible
You might say despicable
Punishment's reciprocal
Public enemy number one
I'm unbeatable
My mind is untreatable
Crimes unrepeatable
Public enemy number one
Public enemy
i'm feeling good
are you feeling good ?
alright
so, 20 years ago
we've recorder this album
this thing called COUNTDOWN TO EXTINCTION
have you heared that record ?
alright
we gonna play it now from beginning to end,listen closely
here we go
SKIN O' MY TEETH (بالكاد)
I had wrists donning slits
Flowing constantly
My broken body in a wreck
Wrapped around a tree
A crosswalk hit-and-run
The finish line for me
People clutter in the gutter
Take a look and see
No escaping pain
You belong to me
Clinging on to life
By the skin of my teeth
No escaping pain
You belong to me
Clinging on to life
By the skin of my teeth
No escaping pain
You belong to me
Clinging on to life
By the skin of my teeth
I won't feel the hurt
I'm not trash any longer
That, that doesn't kill me
Only makes me stronger
I need a ride to the morgue
That's what 911 is for
So tag my toe and don't forget to close the drawer
No escaping pain
You belong to me
Clinging on to life
By the skin of my teeth
No escaping pain
You belong to me
Clinging on to life
By the skin of my teeth
SYMPHONY OF DESTRUCTION
You take a mortal man
And put him in control
Watch him become a god
Watch people's heads a-roll
A-roll
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
Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the Symphony
Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the Symphony
of Destruction
The earth starts to rumble
World powers fall
A-warring for the heavens
A peaceful man stands tall
stands tall
tall
Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the Symphony
Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the Symphony
of Destruction
ARCHITECTURE OF AGGRESSION
Born from the dark
In the black cloak of night
To envelop its prey below, Deliver to the light
To eliminate your enemy
And when all is won and lost The spoils of wars are yours to keep
Great nations, built from the bones of the dead
With mud and straw, blood and sweat
You know your worth when your enemies Praise your Architecture of Aggression
Ensuing power vacuum, A toppled leader dies
His body fuels the power fire, And the flames rise to the sky
One side of his face, a kiss, The other genocide
Time to pay with your ass, A worldwide suicide
Great nations, built from the bones of the dead
With mud and straw, blood and sweat
You know your worth when your enemies Praise your Architecture of Aggression
ولد من الظلام
Born from the dark
In the black cloak of night
To envelop its prey below Deliver to the light
To eliminate your enemy Hit them in their sleep
And when all is won and lost The spoils of wars are yours to keep
Great nations, built from the bones of the dead
With mud and straw, blood and sweat
You know your worth when your enemies Praise your Architecture of Aggression
Great nations, built from the bones of the dead
With mud and straw, blood and sweat
You know your worth when your enemies
Praise your Architecture of Aggression
FORECLOSURE OF A DREAM (رهن حلم)
Rise so high, yet so far to fall
A plan of dignity and balance for all
Political breakthrough, euphoria's high
More borrowed money, more borrowed time
Backed in a corner, caught up in the race
Means to an end, ended in disgrace
Perspective is lost in the spirit of the chase
Foreclosure of a dream
Those visions never seen
Foreclosure of a dream
Those visions never seen
Until all is lost
personal Holocaust
Foreclosure of a dream
"The congress will push me to raise taxes and I'll say 'No,
read my lips
Now with new hope, some will be proud
This is no hoax, no one pushed out
Receive a reprieve and be a pioneer
Break new ground of a new frontier
New ideas will surely get by
No deed, or dividend. Some may ask "Why?"
You'll find the solution, the answers in the sky
Rise so high, yet so far to fall
A plan of dignity and balance for all
Political breakthrough, euphoria's high
More borrowed money, more borrowed time
Foreclosure of a dream
Those visions never seen
Until all is lost
personal Holocaust
Foreclosure of a dream
Those visions never seen
Until all is lost
personal Holocaust
Foreclosure of a dream
Holocaust
you are so kind, thank you very much
i've a question for you
how many of you seeing megadeth for the first time right now ?
the first time is always the best
so i guess the rest of you have seen us before ,right?
you know we don't live in POMONA
but it's like a home town for us
like ...like home town for us....you....us
peapel saying i have a big mouth
i bet you know this song,this song called
SWEATING BULLETS
Hello me, meet the real me
And my misfit's way of life
A dark, black past is my
Most valued possession
Hindsight is always 20-20
But looking back, it's still a bit fuzzy
Speak of mutually assured destruction
Nice story, Tell it to Reader's Digest
Feeling paranoid True enemy or false friend?
Anxiety's attacking me And my air is getting thin
I'm in trouble for the things I haven't got to yet
I'm chomping at the bit And my palms are getting wet
Sweating bullets
Hello me, it's me again
You can subdue, but never tame me
It gives me a migraine headache
Sinking down to your level
Yea, just keep on thinking it's my fault
And stay an inch or two outta kicking distance
Mankind has got to know
His limitations
Feeling claustrophobic, Like the walls are closing in
Blood stains on my hands And I don't know where I've been
I'm in trouble for the things I haven't got to yet
I'm chomping at the bit And my palms are getting wet
Sweating bullets
Well, me, it's nice talking to myself
A credit to dementia
Some day you too will know my pain
And smile its "black-tooth grin"
If the war inside my head
Won't take a day off I'll be dead
My icy fingers claw your back
Here I come again
Feeling paranoid True enemy or false friend?
Anxiety's attacking me And my air is getting thin
Feeling claustrophobic Like the walls are closing in
Blood stains on my hands And I don't know where I've been
Once you committed me
Now you've acquitted me
Claiming validity
For your stupidity
I'm chomping at the bit
I'm sharpening the axe
Here I come again
Sweating bullets
THIS WAS MY LIFE
It was just another day
It was just another fight
It was words strung into sentences
It was doomed to not be right
There is something wrong with me
There is something wrong with you
There is nothing left of us
There is one thing I can do
Lying on your bed, Examining my head
This is the part of me that hates
Paybacks are a bitch
I throw the switch
Somewhere an electric chair awaits
Hey! This was my life
Hey! This was my fate
This was the wrong thing to do
This was the wrong one to be doing
This was the road to destiny
This was the road to my ruin
Now there's motives for the suspect
Now there's nothing left to say
Now there's method to the madness
Now there's society to pay
Lying on your bed, Examining my head
This is the part of me that hates
Paybacks are a bitch
I throw the switch
Somewhere an electric chair awaits
Hey! This was my life
Hey! This was my fate
In our life
there is
"if"
In our beliefs
there is
"lie"
In our business
there is
s...s....sin
In our bodies
there is "die"
This was
my life
This was
my fate
This was
my life
This was
my fate
COUNTDOWN TO EXTINCTION
Endangered species
caged in fright
Shot in cold blood
no chance to fight
The stage is set
now pay the price
An ego boost, don't think twice
Technology, the battle's unfair
You pull the hammer without a care
Squeeze the trigger that makes you 'Man'
Pseudo-safari, the hunt is canned
The hunt is canned
All are gone, all but one
No contest, nowhere to run
No more left, only one
This is it
this is the Countdown to Extinction
Tell the truth, you wouldn't dare
The skin and trophy, oh so rare
Silence speaks louder than words
Ignore the guilt and take your turn
Liars' anagram is "lairs"
Man you were never even there
Killed a few feet from the cages
Point blank, you're so courageous
So courageous
All are gone, all but one
No contest, nowhere to run
No more left, only one
This is it
this is the Countdown to Extinction
One hour from now
Another species of life form Will disappear
off the face of the planet
Forever
and the rate is accelerating,accelerating,accelerating
All are gone, all but one
No contest, nowhere to run
No more left, only one
This is it
this is the Countdown
to Extinction
HIGH SPEED DIRT
Do it if you dare
Leaping from the sky
Hurling thru the air, Exhilarating high
See the earth below
Soon to make a crater
Blue sky, black death
I'm off to meet my maker
Energy of the God
adrenalin surge
Won't stop til I hit the ground
I'm on my way for sure
Up here in the air
this will never hurt
I'm on my way to impact
Taste the high speed dirt
Paralyzed with fear
Feel velocity gain
Entering a near
Catatonic state
Pressure of the sound
Roaring thru my head
Crash into the ground
Damned if I'll be dead
Energy of the god
adrenalin surge
Won't stop til I hit the ground
I'm on my way for sure
Up here in the air
this will never hurt
I'm on my way to impact
Taste the high speed dirt
Jump or die
Dropping all my weight
Going down full throttle
The Pale Horse awaits
Like a genie in a bottle
Fire in my veins
Faster as I go
I forgot my name
I'm a dirt torpedo
High speed dirt
are you still with us ?
hey friends, can you turn the lights on up there ?
i wonna see every body on top
hello
i see you in the back too
thank you for being here

CAPTIVE HONOUR
Madness comes and madness goes
An insane place
with insane moves
Battles without for battles within
Where evil lives
and evil rules
Breaking them up, just breaking them in
Quickest way out
quickest relief wins
Never disclose, never betray
Cease to speak or cease to breathe
And when you kill a man
you're a murderer
Kill many
and you're a conqueror
Kill them all
and you're a God
"Ladies and gentlemen of the jury
Have you reached a verdict
Yes, we have 'Your Honour'
we find the defendant guilty
On all counts for crimes
against all humanity
By virtue of the jury's decision
and the power Vested in me by the state
I hereby sentence you to be incarcerated
With no possibility of parole
for life
"Life? What do you mean life
I ain't got a life
"Boy, your soul better belong to Jesus
Hmmm-mmm, cause your ass belongs to me!"
Captive honour, ain't no honour
No time for questions
No time for the games
Start kicking ass
And taking down the names
A long shit list
A shorter fuse
He is untouchable
And guarantees you'll lose
Captive honour, ain't no honour
Inside the big house
His nightmare unfolds
Before he got there
His man-pussy was sold
Black blanket welcome
This tough guy is now a bitch
Praying for death
It can't be worse than this
Captive honour, ain't no honour
ASHES IN YOUR MOUTH
People have round shoulders
from fairing heavy loads
And the soldiers liberate them
laying mines along their roads
Sorrow paid for valor
is too much to recall
Of the countless corpses piled up
along the Wailing Wall
Melting down all metals
turning plows and shears to swords
Shun words of the Bible
we need implements of war
Chalklines and red puddles
of those who have been slain
Destiny, that crooked schemer
says the dead shall rise
again
Where do we go from here
And should we really care
The end is finally here
God have mercy
Now we've rewritten history
The one thing we've found out
Sweet taste of vindication
It turns to ashes in your mouth
Where do we go from here
And should we really care
The end is finally here
God have mercy
If you're fighting to live
It's O.K. to die!
The answer to your question is
"Welcome to tomorrow!"
Where do we go from here
God have mercy
Where do we go from here
And should we really care
The end is finally here
God have mercy
Where do we go from here
And should we really care
The end is finally here
God have mercy
mercy
so that was
count down to extinction
so was it good for you as it was for me
any way, the next song is dedicated to all girls we have here tonigt
let me hear your screem
i shoulden't say that
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
the fight
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
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
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
are you still with us POMONA ?
PEACE SELLS...,BUT WHO'S BUYING
What do you mean, "I don't believe in God
I talk to him every day
What do you mean, "I don't support your system
I go to court when I have to
What do you mean, "I can't get to work on time
I got nothing better to do
And, what do you mean, "I don't pay my bills
Why do you think I'm broke? Huh
let me hear you sing
If there's a new way
I'll be the first in line
What do you mean, "I hurt your feelings
I didn't know you had any feelings
What do you mean, "I ain't kind
I'm just not your kind
What do you mean, "I couldn't be the president
of the United States of America
Tell me something, it's still
"We the people", right
sing louder
If there's a new way
I'll be the first in line
Can you put a price on peace?
peace
peace sells
peace
peace sells
Peace sells...,but who's buying?
No.....No..No..No...No
Peace sells
thank you POMONA
how about you up here ? are you ok ?
no not here > just the peopel on top
how about the peopel in the back
HOLY WARS
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 homeland
Holy wars
Up on 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 holier-than-thou Could-be-messenger of God
Wage the war on organized crime
Sneak attacks, rappel down the rocks
Behind the lines
Some people risk to employ me
Some people live to destroy me
Either way they die
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
i'd like to introduce to you here
lead guitar "chris broderick"
andd over here base guitar "david elfson"
and behind me on the drums "shawn drover"
Fill the cracks in
with judicial granite
Because I don't say it
don't mean I ain't thinking 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
mercy killings
killings, killings, killings, killings
Next thing you know they'll take my thoughts away
thank you
thank you all
god pless POMONA
good nigt
i'd like to thank you all for comming here tonigt and joining us
i hope you had a great time because we surely did
we don't want to go home ,because we wanna see you again
You've been great, we've been Megadeth
good night
translated by :Sherif Hafez
Thermal count is rising
In perpetual writhing
The primordial ooze
And the sanity they lose
Awakened in the morning
To more air pollution warnings
Still we sleepwalk off to work
While our nervous systems
jerk
Pretending not to notice
How history had forebode us
With the green house in effect
Our environment was wrecked
Now I can only laugh
As I read our epitaph
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures
He leadeth me beside the still waters
He restoreth my soul
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his names sake
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I will fear no evil
for thou art with me
Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies
Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life
And I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever
