1. Sweating Bullets (Anxiety Mix)
Hello me ... Meet the real me
And my misfits way of life
A dark black past is my
Most valued possessions
Hindsight is always 20-20
But looking back it's still a bit fuzzy
Speak of mutually assured destruction?
Nice story ... Tell it to Reader's Digest !!!
Chorus:
Feeling paranoid
True enemy or false friend?
Anxiety's attacking me, and
My air is getting thin
I'm in trouble for the things
I haven't got to yet
I'm chomping at the bit and my
Palms are getting wet, sweating bullets
Solo : Dave
Hello me ... It's me again
You can subdue, but never tame me
It gives me a migraine headache
Thinking down to your level
Yea, just keep on thinking it's my fault
And stay an inch or two outta kicking distance
Mankind has got to know
His limitations
Chorus:
Feeling claustrophobic
Like the walls are closing in
Blood stains on my hands and
I don't know where I've been
I'm in trouble for the things
I haven't got to yet
I'm chomping at the bit and my
Palms are getting wet, sweating bullets
Well, me ... It's nice talking to myself
A credit to dementia
Some day you too will know my pain
And smile its blacktooth grin
If the war inside my head
Won't take a day off I'll be dead
My icy fingers claw your back
Here I come again
Chorus:
Feeling paranoid
True enemy or false friend?
Anxiety's attacking me, and
And my air is getting thin
Feeling claustrophobic
Like the walls are closing in
Blood stains on my hands and
I don't know where I've been
Once you committed me
Now you've acquited me
Claiming validity
For your stupidity
I'm chomping at the bit
I'm sharpening the axe
Here I come again, whoa!
Sweating bullets
2. Symphony of Destruction (live)
You take a mortal man,
And put him in control
Watch him become a god
Watch peoples heads a'roll
A'roll...
Chorus:
Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the Symphony ...
Of Destruction
Acting like a robot
Its metal brain corrodes
You try to take its pulse
Before the head explodes
Explodes...
Chorus:
Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the Symphony ...
Of Destruction
Solo - Marty
The earth starts to rumble
World powers fall
A'warring for the heavens
A peaceful man stands tall
Tall...
Chorus:
Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the Symphony ...
Of Destruction
3. Countdown to Extinction (live)
Endangered species, caged in fright
Shot in cold blood, no chance to fight
The stage in set, now pay the price
An ego boost don't think twice
Technology, the battle's unfair
You pull the hammer without a care
Squeeze the trigger that makes you Man
Pesudo-safari, the hunt is canned ...
The hunt is canned
Chorus:
All are gone, all but one
No contest, nowhere to run
No more left, only one
This is it, this is the Countdown to Extinction
Tell the truth, you wouldn't dare
The skin and thophy, oh so rare
Silence speaks louder than words
Ignore the guilt, and take your turn
Liars anagram is "liars"
Man you were never even there
Killed a few feet from the cages
Point blank, you're so courageous ...
So courageous
Chorus:
All are gone, all but one
No contest, nowhere to run
No more left, only one
This is it, this is the Countdown to Extinction
One hour from now
Another species of life form
Will disappear off the face of the planet
Forever ... and the rate is accelerating
Chorus:
All are gone, all but one
No contest, nowhere to run
No more left, only one
This is it, this is the Countdown to Extinction
4. Symphony of Destruction (edited Gristle Mix)
You take a mortal man,

Watch peoples heads a'roll

Swaying to the Symphony ...
Of Destruction
Acting like a robot
Its metal brain corrodes

Explodes...
Chorus:

6. Ashes in Your Mouth (live)
People have round shoulders from fairing heavy loads
And the soldiers liberate them, laying mines along their roads
Sorrow paid for valor is too much to recall
Of the countless corpses piled up along the wailing wall
Melting down all metals, turning plows and shears to swords
Shun words of the Bible, we need implements of war.
Chalklines and red puddles of those who have been slain
Destiny, that crooked schemer, says the dead shall rise again
Chorus:
Where do we go from here?
And should we really care
The end is finally here
God have mercy!
Now we've rewtitten history
The one thing we've found out
Sweet taste of vindication
It turns to ashes in your mouth
Chorus:
Where do we go from here?
And should we really care
The end is finally here
God have mercy!
If you're fighting to live
It's OK to die !
The answer to your question is ...
Welcome to tomorrow !
Solo : Marty
Solo : Marty
Solo : Dave
Where do we go from here?
God have mercy!
Chorus:
Where do we go from here?
And should we really care
The end is finally here
God have mercy!
7. Symphony of Destruction (Gristle Mix)

Swaying to the Symphony ...
Of Destruction
Acting like a robot
Its metal brain corrodes
You try to take its pulse
Before the head explodes
Explodes...
Chorus:
Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the Symphony ...
Of Destruction
Solo - Marty
The earth starts to rumble
