Sacrifice Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Come listen to the tale of a tragic sacrifice
Of a warlock king of Satanic ancestry
Being possessed by the worst-of-all human emotions
Burned at the stake for partaking in sorcery
[Verse 2]
The wickedest wizards barter the souls of the lost for the damned
Ooh, spirits of the dead, for the wild and the free
Just beware, if every thought has consequences
What they think is worse than any curse could be
[Chorus]
The sky's, the sky's on fire
Flames risе, and shadows fall
Cremate, crematе, the king, sky-clad
And drenched in blood
Binding hexes, casting spells
The demons drink to you down in Hell
When you promised not to break the oath you take
The oath you make
[Bridge]
Every charm and talisman can be broken
It must be unwound, and undone
If you wanna break free, oh
[Chorus]
The sky's, the sky's on fire
Flames rise, and shadows fall (Shadows fall)
Cremate, cremate, the king, sky-clad
And drenched in blood (Drenched in blood)
Binding hexes, casting spells
The demons drink to you down in Hell (Down in Hell)
When you promised not to break the oath you take
(Not to break, not to break)
The oath you take
The oath you make
[Outro]
Binding hexes, casting spells (Casting spells)
The demons drink to you down in Hell (Down in Hell)
When you promised not to break the oath you take
(Not to break, not to break)
The oath you make

Junkie Lyrics

[Intro]
Junkie, what you live for
Junkie, you junkie
[Verse 1]
Gotta monkey on his back
A craving nobody knows about
Hopeless and dopeless, now that he's down and out
Sicker than a dog again
Suicidal, the smack ran out
He found a dealer playing Russian roulette
[Pre-Chorus]
The cure is worse than the disease
He’s long past caring if he dies
He fills the needle, slams a shot, and then
Squeezing the trigger, he closes his eyes, fire
[Chorus]
Junkie, what you live for
Junkie, you'll gladly die for
[Verse 2]
A dope-seeking missile
Scoring and shooting all through the night
Everyone knows that everyone runs "outta luck"
Night yields the sky to the morning
Time's up, he knew, so he said
"Get high or die," and then he was dead
[Pre-Chorus]
The cure is worse than the disease
He’s long past caring if he dies
He fills the needle, slams a shot, and then
Squeezing the trigger, he closes his eyes
[Chorus]
Junkie, what you live for
Junkie, you'll gladly die for
Junkie, it's killing you, it's killing me
Can't you see?
Junkie, you junkie
[Spoken Bridge]
"Man, I fell asleep or whatever [?]”
“They stole my wallet
Hey, man, ain't that a line?"
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
Junkie, whoa!
Junkie
J-j-junkie
J-j-j-j-j-j-junkie

Soldier On! Lyrics

[Verse 1]
No reason left for living, living all alone
And dying unforgiven, with unforgiven bones
Dead years, and the dread years
They were all throughout your life
The road was soon your mistress
And the stage became your wife, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
Marching off to war, everyone can see
They're paralyzed with fear
They get down on their knees and pray
[Chorus]
Of all the battles won and lost
The lives and treasures that it cost
I know I've got to soldier on
Watching mankind destroy itself
Walk straight into thе mouth of Hell
I know I've got to soldier on
[Verse 2]
No rеason left for dying, dying to be right
Days, living unforgiven, and unforgiven nights
Lean years, and the mean years
They were all throughout your life
Two steps forward, and two steps back
You're out of time, oh no
[Pre-Chorus]
Marching off to war, everyone can see
They're paralyzed with fear
They get down on their knees and pray
[Chorus]
Of all the battles won and lost
The lives and treasures that it cost
I know I've got to soldier on
Watching mankind destroy itself
Walk straight into the mouth of Hell
I know I've got to soldier on
Of all the battles won and lost
The lives and treasures that it cost
I know I've got to soldier on
Watching mankind destroy itself
Walk straight into the mouth of Hell
I know I've got to soldier on
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
Marching off to war, everyone can see
They're paralyzed with fear
They get down on their knees and pray
[Chorus]
Of all the battles won and lost
The lives and treasures that it cost
I know I've got to soldier on
Watching mankind destroy itself
Walk straight into the mouth of Hell
I know I've got to soldier on
Of all the battles won and lost
The lives and treasures that it cost
I know I've got to soldier on
Watching mankind destroy itself
Walk straight into the mouth of Hell
I know I've got to soldier on
[Outro]
"Up for a run in the morning air
(Up for a run in the morning air)
I got no job, but I got long hair
(I got no job, but I got long hair)
I got no woman waiting back at home
(I got no woman waiting back at home)
I got all I need, I just soldier on
(I got all I need, I just soldier on)"

This Planet’s on Fire (Burn in Hell) Lyrics

[Verse 1: Dave Mustaine]
Canceled flights, limousines
Hustle, bustle, crazy scenes
First you're here, then you're there
Pretty soon, then you've been everywhere
[Chorus: Dave Mustaine, Sammy Hagar & Both]
Ooh, this planet's on fire
Ah, Satan's desire
We've seen the rise, we'll see the fall
He's here to see us all
Burn in Hell
[Verse 2: Sammy Hagar]
Well, time ticks away, faster, faster
You run so fast, you forget what you're after, oh
Makе a deal to sell your soul
Just to find out, baby, it's been sold
[Pre-Chorus: Dave Mustaine]
Ha! You sucker, oh!
[Chorus: Dave Mustaine, Sammy Hagar & Both]
Ooh, this planеt's on fire
Ah, Satan's desire
We've seen the rise, we'll see the fall
He's here to see us all
Burn in Hell
Burn in Hell, not me, baby
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus: Dave Mustaine, Sammy Hagar & Both]
Ooh, this planet's on fire
Ah, Satan's desire
We've seen the rise, we'll see the fall
He's here to see us all
Burn in Hell
[Verse 3: Dave Mustaine, Sammy Hagar]
Fine, white lines of crystal light
Keep us up all day and all night
Yeah! We're just forgotten boys and girls
Who thrive on cosmic toys
[Chorus: Dave Mustaine, Sammy Hagar & Both]
Ooh, this planet's on fire
Ah, Satan's desire
We've seen the rise, we'll see the fall
He's here to see us all
Burn in Hell
Burn in Hell, whoa
[Outro: Dave Mustaine, Sammy Hagar & Both]
This planet's on fire
This planet's on fire
Ooh, this planet's on fire
Ah, Satan's desire
Ooh, this planet's on fire
Ah, Satan's desire
Yeah

The Conjuring (live) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Welcome to our sanguinary sect of worship
Feel at home in our black conventicle
As we anathematise all those who oppose us
[Chorus]
Don't summon the devil, don't call the priests
If you need the strength, the conjuring
Obey!
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
Behold, the flames rise from the compass' cardinal points
Burn the sacred oil, and with the ashes you'll anoint
Arrange the symbols of the wizard and magician
Light the candles, place the parchment paper in position
Between its leaves place the lash from a black cat's eye
A straw of a broom, fold, and burn, and centralize
[Chorus]
Don't summon the devil, don't call the priests
If you need the strength, then conjure me
[Verse 3]
I am the devil's advocate, salesman if you will
You know my name, you know my name
I met your father years ago, I gave him what he'd please
He called my name, and you'll do the same
I'm claiming what is mine by right, it's time to close the deal
You're bought and sold, bought and sold
Come join me in my infernal depths, Mephisto's hall of fame
I've got your soul, I've got your soul
[Outro]
The conjuring
Obey!
