Megadeth
The Threat Is Real
[Verse 1]
Justified obliteration
No one cares anymore
The Messiah or mass murderer
No controlling who comes through the door
A culture made of cover-ups
Will leprosy touch their flesh?
For backroom meetings and rendezvous
The vultures have come home to nest

[Chorus 1]
The clock runs out
The weakest link
A deadly strike
The threat is real

[Verse 2]
See the burnished images
Of a crest fallen agency
Violent conditioning
Caused the nature of the enemy
Your terminal lack of vision
Blinded eyes see no light
A chronic lack of perspective
Their cancer now eats us alive
[Chorus 2]
A fatal shot
A lust for blood
The final act
The threat is real

[Verse 1]
Justified obliteration
No one cares anymore
The Messiah or mass murderer
No controlling who comes through the door
A culture made of cover-ups
Will leprosy touch their flesh?
For backroom meetings and rendezvous
The vultures have come home to nest

[Chorus 1]
The clock runs out
The weakest link
A deadly strike
The threat is real

[Chorus 2]
A fatal shot
A lust for blood
The final act
The threat is real
