The Scorpion Lyrics - The System Has Failed - Megadeth

My life is everything 

That feeds my thirst that causes sin 

My wants are all I care 

No shame or 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 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 the 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! 

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 the 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 that I am the 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
