Píseň: The Scorpion

Interpret:
Megadeth
Album:
The System Has Failed
My life is everything 
That feeds my thirst that causes sin
My wants are all I care 
No shame and guilt, there's nothing there
Look deep into my face 
I sell deceit without a trace
Fear not what I can do 
Unless you want it done to you, oh-ohhh!


As I climb onto your back, I will promise not to sting
I will tell you what you want to hear and not mean anything
Then I treat you like a dog as I shoot my venom in
You pretend you didn't know that I am a scorpion, oh


My self I'm centered in 
There's nothing else, there's never been
And I dream, to be left alone
With the sadness, the madness of my own
Look deep into my soul 
It's black as coal like a bullet hole
Fear not, get off your knees 
There's no defense, you'll do what I please, oh-oh!


As I climb onto your back, I will promise not to sting
I will tell you what you want to hear and not mean anything
Then I treat you like a dog as I shoot my venom in
You pretend you didn't know that I am a scorpion, oh


As I climb onto your back, I will promise not to sting
I will tell you what you want to hear and not mean anything
I will treat you like a dog as I shoot my venom in
'Cause you knew all along I am a scorpion, ya!


My lies, to reach the shore 
I aggrandize and nothing more
My hopes, to steal away 
All that you love, you I'll soon betray
Look deep into my past 
The pain I deal is unsurpassed
I'm not a lowly scorpion 
I'm so much worse; I'm the fall of man
