"Ashes in Your Mouth" (Megadeth + Dave)

Loudwire, Dave Mustaine; Seth Auberon, Pfc. Sandoval, CC Liu (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

THIS WAS MY LIFE (LYRICS): It was just another day/ It was just another fight/ It was words strung into sentences/ It was doomed to not be right./ There is something wrong with me/ There is something wrong with you/ There is nothing left of us/ There is one thing I can't do.// Lying on your bed/ Examining my head/ This is the part of me that hates/ Paybacks are a bitch/ I throw the switch/ Somewhere an electric chair awaits.// Hey this was my life/ Hey this was my fate/ This was the wrong thing to do/ This was the wrong one to be doing/ This was the road to destiny/ This was the road to my ruin/ Now there's motives for the suspect/ Now there's nothing left to say/ Now there's method to the madness/ Now there's anxiety to pay.// Lying on your bed/ Examining my head/ This is the part of me that hates/ Paybacks are a bitch/ I throw the switch/ Somewhere an electric chair awaits.// Hey this was my life/ Hey this was my fate/ In our life there's "if"/ In our beliefs there's "lie"/ In our business there's "sin"/ In our bodies there's "die"/ This was my life/ This was my fate/ This was my life/ This was my fate.

"Ashes in Your Mouth"

ASHES IN YOUR MOUTH (LYRICS) People have round shoulders from fairing heavy loads/ And the soldiers liberate them, laying mines along their roads/ Sorrow paid for valor is too much to recall/ Of the countless corpses piled up along the wailing wall.// Melting down all metals, turning plows and shears to swords/ Shun words of the Bible, we need implements of war/ Chalk lines and red puddles of those who have been slain/ Destiny, that crooked schemer, says: "The dead shall rise again!"// Where do we go from here?/ And should we really care?/ The end is finally here/ God have mercy!// Now we've rewritten history/ The one thing we've found out/ Sweet taste of vindication/ It turns to ashes in your mouth.// Where do we go from here?/ And should we really care?/ The end is finally here/ God have mercy!// If you're fighting to live/ It's okay to die/ The answer to your question is:/ "Welcome to tomorrow!"/ Where do we go from here?/ God have mercy!// Where do we go from here?/ And should we really care?/ The end is finally here/ God have mercy!// Where do we go from here?/ And should we really care?/ The end is finally here/ God have mercy!/ Mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy
