Made to Kill Lyrics – Megadeth

[Verse 1]
Born to lose, trained to fight
Hates the dark, defends the light
Taught to pray, yet made to kill
Life’s a game, do as thou wilt

[Pre-Chorus]
Wave the flag, then torch the town
Come in peace, then burn it down

[Chorus]
Smoke and fire, choke the dawn

Every trace of life is gone
Hot sun, the desert war
Blood for gold and guns will roar
Red skies, b0mbs fall
Black smoke, a nation crawls
Fight for crude and oil fields
The mighty fall and the people kneel

[Refrain]
Drones above, in desert skies
Truth is sold, in streaming lies
Profits grow, while children die
The people know, that they won’t survive

[Verse 2]
Burning maps, foreign lands
Kings all drink the blood-soaked sand
Votes are cast in smoke and steel
You say, “We the people, what’s the deal?”

[Pre-Chorus]
Wave the flag, then torch the town
Come in peace, then burn it down

[Chorus]

Cold eyes, dead hands
The greedy own the desert lands
Rusty tanks, Saharan rain
Fleeting hope and “coming pain”
Crack a smile, bite your tongue
Play the fool or die too young
Iron mist on golden dunes
Freedom fades underneath the moons

[Refrain]
Drones above, in desert skies
Truth is sold, in streaming lies
Profits grow, while children die
The people know, that they won’t survive
