Inspired from the album "Youthanasia" by Megadeth.
Each story is about 500-1000 words long.
1. Reckoning day
Based on the opening song on the album, "Reckoning Day," or the "Day of Reckoning," is the biblical prediction of the apocalypse, when God will judge us for our sins. In this song, Dave Mustaine is warning his enemy that he's due for a reckoning, meaning all this person's misdeeds will come back to haunt him.
Dave Mustaine got the idea for the song after watching the 1993 movie Tombstone, where Val Kilmer's character (Doc Holliday) says: "Make no mistake. It's not revenge he's after. It's a reckoning."
Dave Mustaine takes the reins when it comes to songwriting in Megadeth, but other band members contribute here and there. On this song, guitarist Marty Friedman helped with the music and bass player worked on the lyrics.
I like the way that I make you itch And all the reasons I give you to bitch And how I make you wanna scream in pain And feel your life is just a losing game I like the way that you let me in The way you look when the walls cave it I like the way that your stomach knots And how you cry for it all to stop I like the way that you fool yourself And make believe there's nobody else I like the way that you stand in line And beg salvation from the empty skiesDon't want no revenge Ain't no pay back time It ain't called getting even Here comes the Reckoning DayI like the things that you try to fake And your face when I see you break And that you say you will pray for me You realize you are prey for me I like the way you stay on attack No matter what, I keep coming back And how you try to hold me down But you end up driven to the groundDon't want no revenge Ain't no pay back time It ain't called getting even Here comes the ReckoningDon't want no revenge (don't want no revenge) Ain't no pay back time (ain't no pay back time) It ain't called getting even (it ain't called getting even) Here comes the Reckoning (here comes the Reckoning) Day, here comes the Reckoning Here comes the Reckoning day Here comes the Reckoning day Here comes the Reckoning day Here comes the Reckoning, here comes the Reckoning day Here comes, is coming
2. Train of consequences
3. Addicted To Chaos
Based on the second song in the album, reckoning day was Written by Dave Mustaine, in this song he sings about losing a close friend who helped him through some difficult times. This person was a rare constant in a life filled with chaos, and while the singer feels despondent, he realizes that this is simply another challenge he must overcome.
Only yesterday they told me you were gone All these normal people, will I find another one? Monkey on my back, aching in my bones I forgot you said, "One day you'll walk alone"I said I need you, does that make me wrong? Am I a weak man, are you feeling strong? My heart was blackened, it's bloody red A hole in my heart, a hole in my headWho will help me up? Where's the helping hand? Will you turn on me? Is this my final stand?In a dream I cannot see Tangled abstract fallacy Random turmoil builds in me I'm addicted, addicted to chaosLights shinin' on my path, turn bad days into good Turn breakdowns into blocks, smashed 'cause I could My brain was laboured, my head would spin Don't let me down, don't give up, don't give inThe rain comes down, cold wind blows The plans we made are back up on the road Turn up my collar, welcome the unknown Remember that you said "One day you'll walk alone"Who will help me up? Where's the helping hand? Will you turn on me? Is this my final stand? Oh-oh, oh-ohIn a dream I cannot see Tangled abstract fallacy Random turmoil builds in me I'm addicted to chaosWho will help me up? Where's the helping hand? Will you turn on me? Is this my final stand, stand?in a dream I cannot see (Tangled abstract fallacy) tangled abstract fallacy (Random turmoil builds in me) random turmoil builds in me, oh Builds, it builds, it buildsin a dream I cannot see (Tangled abstract fallacy) tangled abstract fallacy (Random turmoil builds in me) random turmoil builds in me I'm addicted to the, I'm addicted to the chaosAddicted Addicted To chaos (to chaos) Chaos Addicted to chaos Chaos (to chaos)
