Forty Year Vendetta

Verse 1

Left

Out on the street

Black bags and a bus ticket

Rhythm king with no throne

Cold

Wet

Grey pavement biting

Your fist hits my face

But my head stays hard

They took my riffs

Stole my thunder

Threw me to the wolves

Chorus

Forty years of venom

Forty years of hate

I built the foundation

They locked the gate

Red headed rage

Still burning today

Watch me get even

The Megadeth way

Verse 2

Knock

Open the door

Empty bottles on the floor

I found three guys

Fast

Loud

Dangerous

Lighter than lead

Heavier than iron

Shredding until the fingers bleed

My name is the law

My word is the gospel

No second chances

No looking back

Not ever

Chorus

Forty years of venom

Forty years of hate

I built the foundation

They locked the gate

Red headed rage

Still burning today

Watch me get even

The Megadeth way

Bridge

I am the master

I am the architect

I am the blueprint

You sold out

I stayed true

You got rich

I got lethal

Symphony of destruction

Wake up dead

Holy wars

Peace sells but who is buying

Guitar Solo

Verse 3

Time

It does not heal

It just makes the blade sharper

I see your face on every magazine

Sell

Buy

Trade

Your soul is a commodity

Mine is a weapon

Locked and loaded

Aiming for the top

Victory is mine

Chorus

Forty years of venom

Forty years of hate

I built the foundation

They locked the gate

Red headed rage

Still burning today

Watch me get even

The Megadeth way

Outro

State of the art

Speed of light

Heavy as hell

Still bitter

Still better

Still here

I win

I win

I win
