my last words

megadeth’in peace sells... but who’s buying albümünden gaz ötesi, kafa kopartıcı headbangler yaptıran şarkısı.

sözleri şöyle oluyor:

my life’s on time,
but again my sense is late.
feel a mite unsteady,
but still i have to play.
six to one’s the odds,
and, we have the highest stakes.
and, once again i gamble with my very life today.

highly polished metal,
the oil makes it gleam.
fill the terror chamber,
your mind begins to scream.
your life is like a trigger,
never trouble till you’re squeezed.
now you crack a smile,
as you give the gun a tease.

place the pistol down,
now give the gun a spin.
soon as the spinning stops,
oh no, the game starts in.
a hateful way of vengeance,
a bit of playful sin.
load another bullet,
now the second round begins.

a couple grains of powder,
a couple grams of lead.
a touch against the trigger,
a touch inside the head.
take another drink, and
raise the last bets.
think about my last words,
they might be what i just said.

a click comes from the hammer,
that couldn’t drive a nail.
sense the numbing cold blue,
or the red of hades’ grill.
a fraction of a second,
do you lose, or maybe still,
pass it to the left,
and collect your mighty kill.

add another bullet,
the third round begins.
soon as the spinning stops,
oh no, the game starts in.
please, no i.o.u.’s,
no markers for death.
does anybody play? anybody,
somebody, anybody play.

you, you, next victim, you next to die.
you, you, next victim, you next to die.
you, come on, next victim, your turn to die.
you, come on, next victim, your turn to die.

david ellefson’a bas gitarına kurban olduğum denilesi parça.

bestesi de güftesi de harika olan bu parça ikinci kısmında apayrı bir havaya girer. hızlı ve oldukça melodik olan harika solo insanı kafa, kol, omuz ve baş sallama haraketleri yapmaya teşvik eder.
