Megadeth - Set the World Afire lyrics
[Megadeth - Set the World Afire lyrics]
I don't want to set the world on fire
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 your 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 arsenal of megadeath can't
Be rid 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, worldly 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 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, piles of rubble and ruins
Towering overhead both far and wide
There's unknown tools for World War I I I
Einstein said "We'll use rocks
On the other side" no survivors!
Set the world afire!
No survivors, 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 your 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 arsenal of megadeath can't
Be rid 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, worldly 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 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, piles of rubble and ruins
Towering overhead both far and wide
There's unknown tools for World War I I I
Einstein said "We'll use rocks
On the other side" no survivors!
Set the world afire!
No survivors, set the world afire!
