Symphony Of Destruction
Megadeth · Rude Awakening [2009]
And put him in control
Watch him become a god,
Watch peoples heads a'roll
A'roll, A'roooooooollll
(Chorus)
Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes,
Swaying to the Symphony
Of Destruction
Acting like a robot,
Its metal brain corrodes
You try to take its pulse,
Before the head explodes
Explodes, exploooodes
(Chorus x2)
Solo - Marty
The earth starts to rumble
World powers fall
A'warring for the heavens,
A peaceful man stands tall
Tall, taaaaaaalll
(Chorus x2)
Symphony Of Destruction
