Set The World Afire

Megadeth

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 1989 
Weeds once underneath your feet have grown into 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 Megadeth 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 
It's treaties will soon cease 
No one will be left to prove that numbers 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 the piles of rubble and ruins 
Towering overhead both far and wide 
There's unknown tools of World War III 
Einstein said "We'll use rocks on the other side" 
No survivors set the world afire
