Set The World Afire

"I just want to set the world afire" 

Red flash clouds choking out the morning sky 

All forms of life die now, the humans all succumb 

Time to kiss your ass goodbye, the end has just begun 

Distorted figures walk the street, it's 1999 

Weeds once underneath the feet have grown to vines 

Bodies melted like a candle, a land without a face 

No time to change your fate, no time left, it's too late 

The arsenal of Megadeth can't be rid of they said 

No winning, first stone cast 

This falsehood worldly peace 

Its treaties soon will cease 

No one will be left to prove that humans existed 

Maybe soon the children will be born open fisted 

We all live on one planet and it will all go up in smoke 

Too bad they couldn't see this lethal energy 

And now the final scene, a global darkening 

Dig deep the piles of rubble and ruin 

Towering overhead both far and wide 

There's unknown tools for World War III 

Einstein said, 'We'll use rocks on the other side' 

No survivors, set the world afire!
