Megadeth - Countdown To Extinction Lyrics
[Mustaine - Ellefson - Menza - Friedman:]
Endangered species, caged in fright
Shot in cold blood, no chance to fight
The stage is set, now pay the price
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
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
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
[Solo - Friedman:]
"One hour from now
Another species of life form
Will disappear off the face of the planet
Forever, and the rate is accelerating"
[Solo - Mustaine & Friedman:]
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

Megadeth Countdown To Extinction Comments
ah, my childhood lays down in depths of this song..
Fuck human.
3:10 oh yeeeees!
Take that metallica
I love the minor tone of this song. This song has always been one of my Megadeth favorites.
This song was playing in my dream last night. No reason really. It was just in the background.
2:01 eu sou corinthians
manoKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
Sim ele falou corinthians é o sport club corinthians paulista 1910
A Master Piece !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love you Megadeth
These lyrics make me sad.
25 years and the same affection
Un très bon album de Megadeth !!!
Still a criminally underrated MegadetH tune, so much feeling in this song.
I don't think so, all megadeth fans have this song as one of the bests
Nieśmiertelny utwór
one of those perfect Megadeth songs
Cant believe... i was 12 ....
Im travelling back time wi megadeth...
Great album but i always thought the mix was too treble, needs deeper tones
how many genres of music has the power, lyrically and musically , to remain relevant for decades ...
Underrated
How can one album have so many big songs?
Its Megadeth baby!
Homenaje a "El rey de la noche" de Mijares
Jaja simón, esta rola salió 2 años después.
Damn, what a bass-line in this tune!
Greta Thunberg brought me here.
Guys....does anyone has noted that Dave Mustaine stole the main melody of this song from a Mijares "Hay un lugar en el corazon"?....
Jajaja por el opening de los caballeros del zodiaco
Greta Thunberg like this one

Now you see what causes Global Climate Change and pollution
La vida en este planeta es un bien preciado,
Trataron de comerciar con el.. y lo consiguieron
Trataron de destruir sus grandes extensiones.. y construyeron bastos edificios
Quisieron reducir la vida a cenizas... y consiguieron hacernos partícipes de la masacre
Pero siempre, ocurre algo cincelado por la pureza
Nunca más borrarán el destino, ni las sonrisas de aquellos pequeños niños
Que fuimos nosotros.
Nosotros y no otros supimos ver a tiempo las acciones no condenadas del mal, haciendo ridículas sus hazañas.
Si, fuimos nosotros quienes pudimos detener su avance.
Y ahora estás enterrado, entre los destellos del amor que hemos construido sobre tu nombre.
So true. I love the message. In our culture we respect our earth mother like our birth mother
Environmental metal 🤘🏻
They actually have won awards for this song for that very reason. :)
ANOTHER OIL SPILL!!!
@Lucas Barbieri Haha, entendi a referencia, Nuclear Assault rules !!!!
Masterpiece
album sympa pour un bon groupe de métal !
How to describe a song that stirs your soul!!!
Megabest
This song realy hits home considering whats happening to the world right now...
This is the album that Mustaine really proved he's one of the best song writers around.
Trash metal Classic Album.
finally r first alien race im glad im american
to explain now will only empower them
finally a common enemny
syst4rtlm fell
You are the best guitar player in the world we will always be praying for you thank you for the years of music
In 1963 Stan Lee phrased it "Zoology-Countdown" in Spider-Man No. 1.
This song won that Doris Day award whatever that means.
Crazy i bought this album after severe loss and it was litterally the sound track to my own self destruction within a few months i was nearly beat to death in a coma for 2 days crazy how theres power in the words we surround our minds with metal is like a lullaby for chaos
Just listen to the lyrics is all you need then add the music to it and it all makes sense
Toda la razon del mundo a esta letra además al colo no se le discute ❤
내 인생 최고의 노래
Dave my best friend and room mate in high school was jessey justice. What did i do to make you hate me? Was it the concert i missed?
Excellent megadeath song probably one of the best
guarantee dave wasn't a hunter of animals and tattoo free its all about ego .
What a great Album.
whi is here in 2019 - go VEGAN, long live VEGADETH
oh damn makes more sense ever day
Sounds like Japanese rock tune
tu à les oreilles boucher à la merde from France
@devil hand merci monsieur ;-)
I read somewhere that Ted Nugent took offense when he heard this song
Dave and Ted going at it - that would be entertaining.
Megadeth's Black Album
That would be Cryptic Writings, certainly not any record before 1994; they just slowed down their pace after Rust in Peace and their music sounded more like heavy metal than thrash.
Except this is much better
Except this shit all over black album
to me, and sorry for the holy wars fans, this is megadeth's best song, and one of the best thrash metal songs of all times
This, Foreclosure of a Dream, and Architecture of Aggression are really underrated... They're my three favourite songs on this album, but they won't turn up in Megadeth's top tracks... Holy wars is great, and I love it, but these four are tied for me
Ca dechire
This is the destination.....from...corrupts...humanity...
Honestly Dave made the right decision leaving Metallica... There wouldn't be Megadeth...
no he didnt choose to leave willingly, or of his choice,, they bought him a ticket back home and kicked him out after waking him up abruptly from a hangover pass out sleep state. go watch the documentary on it,, in his and their own words. they all voted to kick him out. no choice. and he was resentful etc about this for many many years but now they have been well past it and good for many years now. we wouldnt have megadeth and how its been if this did not happen. and even thoguh he knew he wasnt a greaty singer they didnt have one available at the time so he did it himself, and stayed with it,.
@R S I agree with you 💯 % in that case,. I glad he got kicked out of Metallica.. cause we got Megadeth 🤘
Best album by Megadeth
Megadeth's ultimate punk metal album !!
This is why i love metal, it often speaks the truth that many dont wanna hear, keep fighting for our future!!
heavenly guitar ouro solo
The guitar riffs so awesome
My all time favorite Megadeth album!!!
This song is a masterpiece of thrash metal the vocals is just ✨ ~ This is it, this is the countdown to extinction *
The countdown is over
This hits me hard. Harder than any other song I’ve ever heard.
How and when did He die!!!?
He didn't
Ktulu chord in the end. Fucking perfect.
27 years ago they made this anthem. Still so relevant.
More so.
Will be, till the human race exists.
more and more so, exponentially now, we are doing it.. ruining our whole planet, and our own kind, destined to wipe ourselves out.
Unterrated masterpiece...
Nice song. Ugly cover. Looking back on the covers of many metal bands in the 90's, they could have done much better, thank Odin for Manowar though.
Oh yeah, yeah
The bass, so fucking amazing.
David is such a great bassist.
Can play whole song took me years had to learn from first time i heard it still gives me goose bumps in 2019
On lead guitar?
I get the sentiment, but trophy hunting isn't what's destroying animal populations, it's poaching. In fact, the money made from trophy hunting is actually used to preserve endangered species. I'd still never do it, but getting rid of it would sadly only make the problem worse.
Haha.. Hahahahaha...hahaha.. Trophy hunting is awsome, according to you. Killing animals is good to prevent killing other animals..hahaha
@goaway I don't like it either, but our feelings on the issue don't change the fact that trophy hunting is the only thing keeping many endangered species alive. The money made from trophy hunting is used to build fences to keep the animals in one place, so it's easier to prevent poaching, and for other methods to protect the animals. The rest of it is given to the community of the town. The townspeople therefore have a vested interest in stopping poachers, where before they were probably indifferent. If you have a better plan, why not bring it up to the government of the countries were trophy hunting is done? I for one would love to see it replaced with an alternative in which no animals have to die.
I really like the vocals on this album.
Need a mashup of this and Bruce Cockburn “if a tree falls”.
Reminds me of 2004 when I got this album :D Back in the CD days :D :D Great Song!
Megadeth навсегда
]v[ EGADET ]-[
Ignore the guilt and take your turn....
İ hear a little call of ktulu at the and
It may be the most melodic song of Megadeth... I love it! It's so good that deserves to be the most popular instead of Holy Wars
Holy wars is objectively their best songs though, this album has much better songs such as Ashes in Your Mouth, Architecture of Aggression, Ashes in Your Mouth, Sweating Bullets, Symphony
the first time "beautiful" was used to describe a thrash metal record...
@ThrashingApocalypse Agree with your statement about Hell Awaits, it's a masterpiece in terms of composition but Reign In Blood has better production.
Juan Iparraguirre yes but you can't fully get into that because every song is like 2 minutes lonh
Juan Iparraguirre st. Anger has shitty production, good songs. Nothing Else Matters is sadly the ballad everyone knows, every other ballad by metallica is better. I only have a problem with the shitloads. I hate these two albums soo much.
@ThrashingApocalypse As you know they sped up the songs so in the end the whole album last little more than 29 minutes (in the tape and LP they have to repeat the songs on both sides)
@Juan Iparraguirre that with the both sides is wrong. I own a first press of reign in blood and every song is there for one time
Rust in peace Nick
[Mustaine - Ellefson - Menza - Friedman]
Endangered species, caged in fright
Shot in cold blood, no chance to fight
The stage in 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
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 thophy, 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
And its prevalent now as it was then
James Hatfield don't like the message of this music
Blackened, although he is a hunter
why the fuck am I addicted to this song???
That opening bass line. Still love it.
