Fatal Illusion - Megadeth

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 hairpin 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 nonconformity

A hanging judge and jury handing 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 it wasn’t there

Coroner never checked, because he didn’t fucking care

Passing off the body, they all believe he died

Starting up the hearse, now for a final drive

Like whistling past 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 revived him from a deep necrotic sleep

Clawing away the casket lid until his fingers bleed

He grabbed a knife and set out on a vivisection spree

A butcher, hell bent, massacring each one with his blade

From the first one to the last, he dispatched them to the grave

It’s a fatal illusion…

Evil never dies

It never dies
