Fatal Illusion Songtext

von Megadeth

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 hair-pin 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 non-conformity.
A hanging judge and jury handed 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 he wasn't there.
Corner never checked because he didn't fucking care.
Passing off the body. They all believed he died.
Starting up the hearse now for a final drive.
Like whistling passed 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.
Hate so strong??????? cry to sleep.
Clawing away the casket lid until his fingers bleed.
He grabbed a knife and set out on a vivisectious spree.
A butcher held a massacre?????? with his blade.
From the first run to the last, the inspection to the grade.

It's a fatal illusion.
It's a fatal illusion.
Evil never dies.
Evil never dies.
