Biography

Thrash metal band from Los Angeles, California, USA. The band was formed by guitarist/vocalist [a251808] and bass guitarist [a374278] in the year 1983. Despite many line-up changes, Megadeth is partly responsible for the popularization of thrash metal in the late 1980s. The band was also notorious for its substance abuse, a contributing factor to their continuous revolving door of band members. The group nonetheless found sobriety and a stable line-up with 1990 release [Link], a trend which continued until 1998 with the departure of drummer Nick Menza. During that period, the band released four studio albums, including [Link], which is Megadeth's most commercially successful album. Dave Mustaine disbanded Megadeth in 2002 due to a nerve injury he had suffered on his left arm. Following a year of physical therapy Mustaine began work on what was to be his first solo album, however contractual obligations forced [Link] to be released under the Megadeth name, following which, Mustaine decided to reform the band in 2004. The band has since released five studio albums, but continued to have several line-up changes through 2000s and 2010s, with Mustaine remaining the only constant member. Co-founder Ellefson, who took legal actions against the band during the disbandment, rejoined in 2010 but was fired from the band in 2021.

LYRICS

How much pain do you need to feel
How much shame do you have to conceal
There is no sunshine, just endless nights
Nobody's there, nobody cares when you cry
Is it my face you see
Do I haunt you in your sleep
On your hands and knees when you crawl
Through your nightmares
When there's no more grace
Does your heart start to race
Clawing everywhere in the dark
Poisonous Shadows

How many secrets do you keep inside
How many sins do you have to hide
The haunting masses blackening the sun
You'll pay for everything you've done, one by one

Is it my face you see
Do I haunt you in your sleep
On your hands and knees when you crawl
Through your nightmares
When there's no more grace
Does your heart start to race
Clawing everywhere in the dark
Poisonous Shadows

Is it my face you see
Do I haunt you in your sleep
On your hands and knees when you crawl
Through your nightmares
When there's no more grace
Does your heart start to race
Clawing everywhere in the dark
Poisonous Shadows

Is it my face you see
Do I haunt you in your sleep
On your hands and knees when you crawl
Through your nightmares
When there's no more grace
Does your heart start to race
Clawing everywhere in the dark
Poisonous Shadows

It's like I woke up and she was right there
You know, I could almost touch her
I know she's been gone, for years now
I can feel her, I can feel her watching me
