Megadeth Lyrics for Song: The Scorpion
 Lyrics for Album: The System Has Failed [2004]
 
 
 
 33181>My life is everything
 
 That feeds my thirst that causes sin
 
 My wants are all i care
 
 No shame or guilt, there's nothing there
 
 Look deep into my face
 
 I sell deceit without a trace
 
 Fear not what i can doUnless you want it done to you
 
 oh ohhhh!
 
 
 
 As I climb onto your back, I will promise not to sting
 
 I will tell you what you want to hear, and not mean anything
 
 Then I treat you like a dog as I shoot my venom in
 
 You pretend you didn't know that I am a scorpion, Oh
 
 
 
 My self I'm centered in
 
 There's nothing else, there's never been
 
 And I dream, to be left alone
 
 With the sadness, the madness of my own
 
 Look deep into my soul
 
 It's black as coal like a bullethole
 
 Fear not, get off your knees
 
 There's no defense, you'll do what i please
 
 oh ohh!
 
 
 
 As I climb onto your back, I will promise not to sting
 
 I will tell you what you want to hear, and not mean anything
 
 Then I treat you like a dog as I shoot my venom in
 
 You pretend you didn't know that I am a scorpion, Oh
 
 
 
 As I climb onto your back, I will promise not to sting
 
 I will tell you what you want to hear, and not mean anything
 
 I will treat you like a dog as I shoot my venom in
 
 'Cause you knew all along that I am a scorpion, ya!
 
 
 
 My lies, to reach the shore
 
 I aggrandize and nothing more
 
 My hopes, to steal away
 
 All you love, I'll soon betray
 
 Look deep into my past
 
 The pain I deal is unsurpassed
 
 I'm not a lowly scorpion
 
 I'm so much worse; I'm the fall of man
