Megadeth The Scorpion Lyrics

The Scorpion Lyrics

My life is everything 

That feeds my thirst that causes sin

My wants are all I care 

No shame and guilt, there's nothing there

Look deep into my face 

I sell deceit without a trace

Fear not what I can do 

Unless you want it done to you, oh-ohhh!



As I climb onto your back, I will promise not to sting

I will tell you what you want to hear and not mean anything

Then I treat you like a dog as I shoot my venom in

You pretend you didn't know that I am a scorpion, oh



My self I'm centered in 

There's nothing else, there's never been

And I dream, to be left alone

With the sadness, the madness of my own

Look deep into my soul 

It's black as coal like a bullet hole

Fear not, get off your knees 

There's no defense, you'll do what I please, oh-oh!



As I climb onto your back, I will promise not to sting

I will tell you what you want to hear and not mean anything

Then I treat you like a dog as I shoot my venom in

You pretend you didn't know that I am a scorpion, oh



As I climb onto your back, I will promise not to sting

I will tell you what you want to hear and not mean anything

I will treat you like a dog as I shoot my venom in

'Cause you knew all along I am a scorpion, ya!



My lies, to reach the shore 

I aggrandize and nothing more

My hopes, to steal away 

All that you love, I'll soon betray

Look deep into my past 

The pain I deal is unsurpassed

I'm not a lowly scorpion 

I'm so much worse; I'm the fall of man
