Sleepwalker Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I should be calling collect from jail
For the things I commit each night in my head
Like last night in my sleep, I got to snuff you
But then I woke up again, safe in my little bed
[Refrain]
No one is safe when I close my eyes
I come to take your life
[Verse 2]
I get to force your untimely disappearance
Each night in my dreams, when I'm fast asleep
I close my eyes, and you just vanish soon as I
Lay down my head when I'm dead to the whole wide world
[Refrain]
No one is safe when I close my eyes
I come to take your life
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And then I wake up again
And it was all just a dream
And everything is the same
[Chorus 1]
(Sleepwalker) Did I give you concrete shoes (Go to sleep)
And throw you off of a bridge? (Go to sleep)
(Sleepwalker) When I lay down to sleep (Go to sleep)
Pray your soul's mine to keep
I feel you near me (Go to sleep)
(Go to sleep, go to sleep)
Sleepwalker (Go to sleep, go to sleep)
[Post-Chorus]
Just taking a stroll, don't go to sleep
Here's some toothpicks for your eyes!
[Verse 3]
You always make an excellent cadaver
I roll up your body in a carpet to make music in the
Trunk of my limousine, wrapped up in a rug
A fitting end is that I send you up the river like a punk
[Refrain]
No one is safe when I close my eyes
I come to take your life
[Verse 4]
The angel of death is pissed off at me again
Just because I got to put you out of my misery
It doesn't matter, I am without fear
Now you're dead, I won't shed another bloody tear for you
[Refrain]
No one is safe when I close my eyes
I come to take your life
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I'm calling down the thunder
Then you'll sleep with the fishes
The answer to all of my wishes
[Chorus 2]
(Sleepwalker) Did I tell you I was in movies (Go to sleep)
Then dump you garroted, lying naked in a ditch? (Go to sleep)
(Sleepwalker) Every day, another way (Go to sleep)
I know you can hear me (Go to sleep)
[Verse 5]
I think you'd look nice in a Colombian necktie
Should stop your tongue from wagging the dog
No more stupidity from you as I pull your tongue through
For a smile from ear to ear, now there's nothing to hear
[Refrain]
No one is safe when I close my eyes
I come to take your life
[Pre-Chorus 3]
And then I wake up
And it was all just a dream
And everything is still the same
[Chorus 3]
(Sleepwalker) Did I give you concrete shoes (Go to sleep)
And throw your body off of a bridge? (Go to sleep)
(Sleepwalker) When I lay down to sleep (Go to sleep)
Pray your soul's mine to keep, I feel you near me (Go to sleep)
(Sleepwalker) Or did I tell you I was in movies (Go to sleep)
Then dump you garroted, lying naked in a ditch? (Go to sleep)
(Sleepwalker) Every day, another way (Go to sleep)
I know you can hear me (Go to sleep)
[Outro]
(Sleepwalker) Did I buy you the farm (Go to sleep)
Put a horse head in your bed? (Go to sleep)
(Sleepwalker) When I lay down to sleep (Go to sleep)
Pray your soul is mine to keep
I feel you near me (Go to sleep)
(Sleepwalker) Every day (Go to sleep)
Every day, another way (Go to sleep)
(Sleepwalker) When I lay down to sleep (Go to sleep)
Pray your soul is mine to keep
I know you can hear me (Go to sleep)
(Sleepwalker) (Go to sleep, go to sleep)
(Sleepwalker) (Go to sleep, go to sleep)
(Sleepwalker) (Go to sleep, go to sleep)
(Sleepwalker) (Go to sleep, go to sleep)
(Sleepwalker) (Go to sleep, go to sleep)
(Sleepwalker) (Go to sleep, go to sleep)
United Abominations Lyrics
[Intro]
Within striking distance from Ground Zero
Sits a smoldering international cauldron
The United Abominations as it were
Born to prevent wars, it froze in the face of disaster
And stood silent while terrorization took hostage of the world
In a mire of hypocrisy
The U.N. ignores sex crimes by its own blue helmets
And enables terrorism, so in the end it's failed
And the U.N. is where our so-called friends
Get to stab us in the back
And we pay 22% of their tab to host our enemies here at home
Ambassadors from countries, otherwise known as a catastrophe
Enjoy diplomatic immunity living in Manhattan
While their children are turned into prostitutes
It's a complete and utter disgrace, a blot on the face of humanity
And they get away with it
[Verse 1]
Poverty in their kitchens
Held hostage by oil-for-food
Yet their own plates are full off the fat of their lands
There's no blood on their hands, (right Kojo?)
They promised to tell the truth
Without leaving a fingerprint
They will lose the U.N. one way or another
The victim, I fear will be us, sisters and brothers
[Pre-Chorus]
The U.N. is right; you can't be any more un
Than you are right now, the U.N. is undone
Another mushroom cloud, another smoking gun
The threat is real, the Locust King has come
[Chorus]
Don't tell me the truth
I don't like what they've done
It's payback time at the United Abominations
[Verse 2]
A grave and gathering danger
The decision to attack based on secret intelligence
It'll take years, I fear
To undo the failings in Iraq, (Iran and Korea)
You may bury the bodies
But you can't bury the crimes
Only fools stand up and really lay down their arms
No, not me, not when death lasts forever
[Pre-Chorus]
The U.N. is right; you can't be any more un
Than you are right now, the U.N. is undone
Another mushroom cloud, another smoking gun
The threat is real, the Locust King has come
[Chorus]
Don't tell me the truth
I don't like what they've done
It's payback time...
[Spoken]
"The U.N. writes resolution after resolution and has become irrelevant through inaction and totalitarian paralysis,"
"Order, Order!!!"
"Ha! There is no such thing as order"
"Larry, it's true, reports confirm today that the United Nations has officially closed its doors forever,"
"Well, I just don't see what all the fuss is, because they don't do anything anyway, do they?"
[Pre-Chorus]
The U.N. is right; you can't be any more un
Than you are right now, the U.N. is undone
Another mushroom cloud, another smoking gun
The threat is real, the Locust King has come
[Chorus]
Don't tell me the truth
I don't like what they've done
It's payback time at the United Abominations
[Outro]
NATO invaded Yugoslavia to end ethnic cleansing
There was no U.N.
The U.S. invaded Afghanistan after 9/11
There was no U.N.
Saddam Hussein violated 17 U.N. resolutions
The U.N. was asked to join the War in Iraq. The U.S. invaded
There was no U.N.
Libya bombed a discotheque in Berlin killing Americans
There was no U.N.
Iran funds Hamas and attacked the U.S. in the seventies
There was no stinking U.N.
Facing War without end, looking into the future
There. Was. No. More. U.N.
Play for Blood Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Anybody searching for action
Anything to fill the emptiness inside
Any place that the streets are empty
Any takers wanna pour out their lives?
With fire and lighting shooting from my hand
And desolation written across my eyes
My itchy finger on hairpin trigger
My tempers hot and my patience's taken flight
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
Inside the abattoir
The cover charge is somebody's gotta die
Now, I hear you screaming out for mercy
Last man that's standing wins the fight
Too late, I see your end zero in on you
Even mortal enemies they can't deny
Let me help you up again
The wings of God surround me
I live to play because i know I'll never die
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
If I win again, I'm still the champion
And if you win? Ha, that's just impossible!
I don't play for keeps; I don't play for your soul
I don't play to win; I don't play for it all
I play for blood
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
I don't play for keeps, I play for blood
I don't play for your soul, I play for blood
I don't play to win, I play for blood
I don't play for it all, I play for blood
Play for blood
À tout le monde (Set Me Free) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Don't remember where I was
I realized life was a game
The more seriously I took things
The harder the rules became
I had no idea what it'd cost
My life passed before my eyes
I found out how little I accomplished
All my plans, denied
[Pre-Chorus]
So, as you read this, know my friends
I'd love to stay with you all
Smile when you think of me
My body's gone, that's all
[Chorus]
À tout le monde, à tous mes amis
Je vous aime, je dois partir
These are the last words I'll ever speak
And they'll set me free
[Verse 2]
If my heart was still alive
I know it would surely break
And my memories left with you
There's nothing more to say
Moving on is a simple thing
What it leaves behind is hard
You know the sleeping feel no more pain
And the living all are scarred
[Chorus]
À tout le monde, à tous mes amis
Je vous aime, je dois partir
These are the last words I'll ever speak
And they'll set me free
[Guitar Solo: Marty Friedman]
[Pre-Chorus]
So, as you read, know my friends
I'd love to stay with you all
Please smile, smile when you think about me
My body's gone, that's all
[Chorus]
À tout le monde, à tous mes amis
Je vous aime, je dois partir
These are the last words I'll ever speak
And they'll set me free
À tout le monde, à tous mes amis
Je vous aime, je dois partir
These are the last words I'll ever speak
And they'll set me free
[Guitar Solo: Dave Mustaine & Marty Friedman]
