Fatal illusion


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 he wasn't there
Coroner never checked
Because he didn't fucking 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 never 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? Cry to sleep
Clawing away the casket
Lid until his fingers bleed
He grabbed a knife
And set out on a vivisectious spree
A butcher held a massacre? With his blade
From the first run to the last
The inspection to the grade

It's a fatal illusion
It's a fatal illusion
Evil never dies
Evil never dies

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics FATAL ILLUSION of MEGADETH is also present in the album Dystopia (2015)
