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 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 it wasn't there
Coroner never checked because he didn't f*cking 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 ever 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 revived him from a deep narcotic sleep
Clawing away the casket lid until his fingers bleed
He grabbed a knife and set out on a vivisection spree

A butchery held a massacre and eats with his blade
From the first one to the last, he is spastic to the brain.
It's a FATAL ILLUSION!
It's a FATAL ILLUSION!
Evil never dies!
Evil never dies!
