Megadeth - Tornado of Souls Lyrics

It's time for a little rusted piece

This morning I made the call
The one that ends it all
Hanging up, I wanted to cry
But dammit, this well's gone dry
Not for the money, not for the fame
Not for the power, just no more games

But now I'm safe in the eye of the tornado
I can't replace the lies, that let a thousand days go
No more living trapped inside
In her way I'll surely die
In the eye of the tornado, blow me away

You'll grow to loathe my name
You'll hate me just the same
You won't need your breath
And soon you'll meet your death
Not from the years, not from the use
Not for the tears, just self abuse

But now I'm safe in the eye of the tornado
I can't replace the lies, that let a thousand days go
No more living trapped inside
In her way I'll surely die
In the eye of the tornado, blow me away

Who's to say, what's for me to say?
Who's to say, what's for me to be?
Who's to say, what's for me to do?
'Cause a big nothing it'll be for me

The land of opportunity
The golden chance for me
My future looks so bright
Now I think I've seen the light

Can't say what's on my mind
Cannot do what I really feel
In this bed I made for me
Is where I sleep, I really feel

I warn you of the fate, proven true to late
Your tongue twist perverse, come drink now of this curse
And now I fill your brain, I spin you round again
My poison fill your head as I tuck you in your bed
You feel my fingertips, you won't forget my lips
You'll feel my cold breath, it is the kiss of death

  It's a song about checking into rehab.
  Although, it wasn't his last attempt. David still had some battles to fight. Although Dave has been to rehab fifteen times, I can say that I would be shocked if it happened again. It's weird... the worst things imaginable never seem to happen sixteen times - which is interesting, because he refers to drug addiction in one song as a "personal holocaust," and like the Jews, it's happened to him fifteen times. I don't know if David realizes this, but his lyrics often turn out to be rather prophetic.

  Pretty simple angry broken love song. Although, maybe the best thrash metal song of all time.
