Lying In State

Megadeth

Intro (x4) Verse What we are witnessing is the decline of western civilization Crushing our potential and piling it on, how will history portray us? Attack the family, attack their faith and dreams Attack the body and the head will fall Post Verse A lasting legacy or ruin brought in haste? The enemy of truth is lying there in state Solo | | Verse Another day, another manufactured crisis keeping the people distracted There's no one playing by the rules anymore, how will history portray us? A broken backbone with nothing left to lose? That hate the sight of all the ones that do? Pre Chorus A lasting legacy or ruin brought in haste? The enemy of truth is lying there in state Bridge A shiny new agenda, birthed from a depraved mind Of failing us on purpose, to culturally sanitize Its opiates for the masses under cloak as hope and change The "new normal" or just more of the same? Solo 2 | | Bridge 2 The perfect plan Must have an alibi And the perfect pawn To spew the party line Of the perfect falsehood Spoke a thousand times The perfect words Cover the greatest crime Break (Repeat) | Outro Hell is turning itself inside out To lead its path up to meet us And we deliberately take A step, one foot closer to the grave TO THE GRAVE
