Megadeth - Fatal Illusion lyrics
[Megadeth - Fatal Illusion lyrics]
Lost inside the system
Locked away without a key
No one will ever miss a menace to society
A gross lack of potential
Bad decisions made in spite
A touchy hair-pin trigger and
Such a wasted life
Trying to break the mold of a broken family
Fight against your failure and
Living on his knees
Guilty of a crime of non-conformity
A hanging judge and jury
Handing down the penalty a lethal injection
Now they watch the body jerk
Exterminate the problem
Except it didn't work
No vital sign of life
They declared it wasn't there
Coroner never checked because he
Didn’t fucking care passing off the body
They all believed he died
Starting up the hearse
Set out for a final drive
Like whistling past a graveyard when
Walking by at night
It's a fatal illusion to think
That evil ever dies
In a darkened mortuary
Reeking of formaldehyde
Aroused from deadly slumber
Something opened up his eyes
Spilling of their blood was a
Promise that he'd keep
Hate so strong revived him from
A deep necrotic sleep
Clawing away the casket lid
Until his fingers bleed
He grabbed a knife and set
Out on a vivisection spree
A butcher hell bent
Massacring each one with his blade
From the first one to the last
He dispatched them to the grave
It's a fatal illusion
It's a fatal illusion evil never dies
It never dies
Locked away without a key
No one will ever miss a menace to society
A gross lack of potential
Bad decisions made in spite
A touchy hair-pin trigger and
Such a wasted life
Trying to break the mold of a broken family
Fight against your failure and
Living on his knees
Guilty of a crime of non-conformity
A hanging judge and jury
Handing down the penalty a lethal injection
Now they watch the body jerk
Exterminate the problem
Except it didn't work
No vital sign of life
They declared it wasn't there
Coroner never checked because he
Didn’t fucking care passing off the body
They all believed he died
Starting up the hearse
Set out for a final drive
Like whistling past a graveyard when
Walking by at night
It's a fatal illusion to think
That evil ever dies
In a darkened mortuary
Reeking of formaldehyde
Aroused from deadly slumber
Something opened up his eyes
Spilling of their blood was a
Promise that he'd keep
Hate so strong revived him from
A deep necrotic sleep
Clawing away the casket lid
Until his fingers bleed
He grabbed a knife and set
Out on a vivisection spree
A butcher hell bent
Massacring each one with his blade
From the first one to the last
He dispatched them to the grave
It's a fatal illusion
It's a fatal illusion evil never dies
It never dies
