Lyrics The Scorpion - Megadeth

The Scorpion

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
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
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
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
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 the scorpion
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 feel, is unsurpassed
I’m not, a lowly scorpion
I’m so much worse, I’m the fall of man
