Countdown To Extinction

Este tema de Megadeth me trae musicalmente muchos recuerdos de mi "tierna" adolescencia, hoy después de casi 20 años de escucharla en formato cassette sigue estando vigente su mensaje, solo tenemos que hacer las cosas bien, igual esto lo aprendemos cuando sea irremediablente tarde.

Endangered species, caged in fright,

Shot in cold blood, no chance to fight.

The stage is set, now pay the price.

An ego boost, don't think twice.

Technology, the battle's unfair,

You pull the hammer without a care.

Squeeze the trigger that makes you Man,

Pseudo-safari, the hunt is canned...

The hunt is canned.

Chorus

All are gone, all but one.

No contest, nowhere to run.

No more left, only one.

This is it, this is the Countdown to Extinction.

Tell the truth, you wouldn't dare.

The skin and trophy, oh so rare.

Silence speaks louder than words.

Ignore the guilt, and take your turn.

Liars anagram is "lairs,"

Man you were never even there.

Killed a few feet from the cages,

Point blank, you're so courageous...

So courageous.

Chorus

One hour from now,

another species of life form

will disappear off the face of the planet

forever...and the rate is accelerating.
