The End of the Line

The epic closer from *Death Magnetic*, 2008

Need more and more, tainted misery
Bleed, battle scars, chemical affinity
Reign, legacy, innocence corrode
Stain, rot away, catatonic overload

Verse 2

Choke, asphyxia, snuff reality
Scorch, kill the light, incinerate celebrity
Reaper, butchery, karma amputee
Bloodline, breeding fine, death contagious deity

Pre-Chorus

Hooked into this deceiver
Need more and more
Into the endless fever
Need more and more

Chorus

New consequence machine
Burn through all your gasoline
Asylum overtime, nevermind

You've reached the end of the line
The end of the line

Verse 3

Time, choke the clock, steal another day
Die faithfully, narcissistic fade away
Twisted, jump the rail, shout at the crowd below
Breaker, chase the ghost, from latest high to all time low

Bridge

Drop the hourglass of time
Spilling sand we will not find
As we gather here today
We bid farewell, the slave becomes the master

The slave becomes the master
The slave becomes the master
The slave becomes the master

Pre-Chorus

Need more and more
Right now and ever after
Need more and more

Chorus

New consequence machine
Burn through all your gasoline
Asylum overtime, nevermind

Dead hourglass of time, sand we will not ever find
We gather here today, say goodbye

'Cause you've reached the end of the line
The end of the line
The end of the line
The end of the line

You've reached the end of the line
