Megadeth - Burning Bridges Lyrics






[Dave Mustaine]

You give up on yourself
Somehow you got betrayed agin
Thin ice and luck runs out
Who will you blame it on this time?

Due to lack of interest in you
The light at the end of the tunnel
Was turned off
And something I noticed
Beating you is thrilling me
I've got a secret for you

If you took your own direction
If only you practice what you preach
If you follow your advice
You wouldn't be burning bridges all the time

Don't close your eyes to injustice
Listen, being brave ain't chicken shit
A man without any valor
Has nothing worth living for

Due to lack of interest in you
The light at the end of the tunnel
Was turned off
And something I noticed
Beating you is thrilling me
I've got a secret for you

If you took your own direction
If only you practice what you preach
If you follow your advice
You wouldn't be burning bridges all the time

[Solo - Mustaine]

[Solo - Pitrelli]

If you took your own direction
If only you practice what you preach
If you follow your advice
You wouldn't be burning bridges all the time

If you took your own direction
If only you practice what you preach
If you follow your advice
You wouldn't be burning bridges all the time

Megadeth Burning Bridges Comments
  1. m.... j....

    after countdown to extinction megadeth just aint been able to match up to that album or rust in peace . peace sells but whos buying is when they started to come up in the metal scene

  2. c.... m....

    This album is very stripped down and more simple

  3. M.... L....

    0:54 sounds like Dave has a cough

  4. D.... G....

    I love It!

  5. M.... O....

    Whhhhhiff youuuu took your own directionnn

  6. D.... D....

    Isn't that riff the same as "1000 Times Goodbye"?

    D.... D....

    Daniel Dolan What time (about)?

    D.... D....

    @thvalimaki the riff I'm thinking of starts at about 39 seconds into the song.

    D.... D....

    @Daniel Dolan well yeah, reminds of 1000 Times Goodbye a little, but definitely not the same

  7. J.... 8....

    I love of how all of a fucking sudden they jump back to 1988-90 3:25 after many years of midtempo or sellout BS.
    This album was not great, but it was the necessary first step towards the excellent late '00s modern thrash albums.
    TWNAH was like a humbling hungover after a decadent, cheesy, damaging party (Risk)

  8. M.... B....

    Eeesh. Heavy, powerful, funky.

  9. O.... T....

    why was i listening to Alternative when this was available

  10. S.... B....

    If you don't think 3:30 is the best bridge ever..you probably don't know metal 🤘

    S.... B....

    Skev Beats Dave burned it

    S.... B....

    Yeah that's not the bridge though obviously. The bridge is short part between the verse and the chorus.... which also burns.

  11. R.... J....

    Wwwwiifffff you took your own direction........

  12. R.... S....

    Dave Mustaine for President

  13. C.... C....

    Heavy AF am I right MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!?!????

  14. S.... p....

    1:00 - The Burning Bridges 🔥

  15. J.... S....

    Doeiiiiiiiiii 😈🤘🏻

  16. H.... O....

    Ten Magics

  17. D.... Z....

    Burning bridges>Burning churches

    D.... Z....

    Varg Vikernes does not approve this.

  18. S.... p....

    End of the bridge 🔥

  19. S.... S....

    Sometimes i love the way dave sings it makes the song awsome like the chorus that weird vibrato

    S.... S....

    Reminds me of dirt album from alice in chains.the singing....

  20. S.... S....

    I love this album so fucking much maby in top 5-4 from them

  21. K.... ....

    Pay the burnt bridge toll... Whoops wrong song

    K.... ....

    Dude I know that's a Testament song but can you remind me which one so I can listen to it?

    K.... ....

    @Edward Finley practice what you?????????

    K.... ....

    PREACH!!

  22. V.... R....

    That chorus riff is kinda off similar to middle part of Ashes in your mouth

    V.... R....

    Vic Rattlehead I agree

  23. A.... G....

    I love Megadeth and I love Metallica. Let's be honest though, songs like this prove that Megadeth > Metallica. Just my opinion of course!

    A.... G....

    In my opinion, Metallica has the better first 3 albums but Rust In Peace was definitely Megadeth overtake. But I still appreciate both bands for still making good music.

    A.... G....

    babyhippo101 I feel like in current day Megadeth has the better albums compared to Metallica even the rest of the big four and there shows are amazing

    A.... G....

    Megadeth will Always will be Superior to Metallica

    A.... G....

    Ur right

    A.... G....

    Megadeth seems to be the more versatile of the two bands. If Metallica wasn't always trying to make 10 minute songs, they might have more variety. Doing the black album was their downfall, 6-7 minute songs of over production. They should have cut the song length down after And justice for all, kill em all is kinda bloated with song length too. Hardwired is half decent though, but song length.

  24. M.... M....

    Awesome album I remember going to get this album I got this and the first stone sour album

  25. j.... i....

    one of my all-time favorite Megadeth songs

  26. J.... F....

    ten thousand goodbye

  27. K.... K....

    Pierdes la fe en tí
    De alguna manera fuiste traicionado otra vez
    El hielo fino y la suerte se acaban
    ¿Quién te culpará esta vez?

    Debido a la falta de interés en tí
    La luz al final del túnel
    Fue apagada
    Y algo noté
    Derrotarte me emociona
    Tengo un secreto para tí

    Si sólo tomaras tu propia dirección
    Si sólo practicaras lo que predicas
    Si siguieras tus advertencias
    No estarías quemando puentes todo el tiempo

    No cierres tus ojos a la injusticia
    Escucha, ser valiente no es insignificante
    Un hombre sin valor
    No tiene nada valisoso por lo que vivir
    Debido a la falta de interés en tí
    La luz al final del túnel
    Fue apagada
    Y algo noté
    Derrotarte me emociona
    Tengo un secreto para tí

    Si sólo tomaras tu propia dirección
    Si sólo practicaras lo que predicas
    Si siguieras tus advertencias
    No estarías quemando puentes todo el tiempo

    Si sólo tomaras tu propia dirección
    Si sólo practicaras lo que predicas
    Si siguieras tus advertencias
    No estarías quemando puentes todo el tiempo
