Megadeth - Fatal Illusion lyrics

Lost inside the system, locked away without a key

No one will ever miss a menace to society

A gross lack of potential, bad decisions made in spite

A touchy hairpin trigger and such a wasted life


Trying to break the mold of a broken family

Fight against your failure, and living on his knees

Guilty of a crime of nonconformity

A hanging judge and jury handing down the penalty


A lethal injection, now they watch the body jerk

Exterminate the problem, except it didn't work


No vital sign of life, they declared it wasn't there

Coroner never checked, because he didn't fucking care

Passing off the body, they all believe he died

Starting up the hearse, now for a final drive


Like whistling past a graveyard, when walking by at night

It's a fatal illusion to think that evil never dies


In a darkened mortuary, reeking of formaldehyde

Aroused from deadly slumber, something opened up his eyes

Spilling all their blood was a promise that he'd keep

Clawing away the casket lid until his fingers bleed

He grabbed a knife and set out on a vivisection spree

A butcher, hell bent, massacring each one with his blade

From the first one to the last, he dispatched them to the grave


It's a fatal illusion...


Evil never dies


It never dies
