Megadeth - How The Story Ends Lyrics






Far off on the horizon you can barely see their torches
But rest assured they're out there and they're coming
If you listen, the sound is growing nearer of infantry
Marching out a hypnotizing rhythm

Destroying every town, light it up and burn it down
You may not like it now, but this is how the story ends

Above the ring of clashing steel, they raise flags of war
A sign to all the warriors who cannot hear
Amidst smoke of cannonballs, they bang the drums of death
Pound a cadence out for those who cannot see

Destroying every town, light it up and burn it down
You may not like it now, but this is how the story ends
Poison the wells and scorch the earth, everything slashed and burnt
You may not like it now, but this is how the story ends

[Acoustic Solo - Dave]
[Solo - Chris]

Destroying every town, light it up and burn it down
You may not like it now, but this is how the story ends
Poison the wells and scorch the earth, everything slashed and burnt
You may not like it now, but this is how the story ends

  23. V.... R....

    From David recent interview

    "We´re working on it. I mean, the last year we spent… We literally had no left over material for ”Dystopia” (2016). I mean nothing. We cleaned out the vaults. In fact I heard a lot of stuff from the three records I didn´t play on, especially ”Endgame” (2009) and I was like ”Whoa!” There´s a lot of cool stuff that I remember writing at soundchecks with Nick (Menza) and Marty (Friedman) and different things and I was happy to hear those turning into songs, but by the time we got done with ”Dystopia” the vault was empty. "

  24. N.... T....

    Love Dave Rust In Peace album is still my favorite though

    I LOVE METALLICA

  32. K.... M....

    Just realized Megadeth has 15 albums while Metallica has 10







    WUT

    K.... M....

    Kernel McFernal and metallica had a headstart too!

    K.... M....

    And since Dave basically wrote most of the material on Kill 'Em All, that could almost be counted as more of a Megadeth album than a Metallica one, or at least very much belonging to Dave.

  33. G.... ....

    I find this album like a thousand times better than Dystopia.

  34. M.... ....

    The solo is insane.

  35. T.... 0....

    What a song... That beginning gives me chills everytime....

  36. R.... ....

  49. C.... H....

    I forgot how awesome Endgame was!

    C.... H....

    Never forget how the story ends

  50. L.... S....

    That intro riff is what has been ringing in my head since last night but I couldn't remember what song it was ... finally I found it here!

    L.... S....

    The base of the solo looks straight out from CDTE

  51. K.... K....

    ]V[ E G A D E T ]-[

    K.... K....

    Thats art bro!

    K.... K....

    /V\ E G A D E T l-l

    K.... K....

    Melhor banda pohaaaa

  52. M.... ....

    I know I probably say this whenever I hear a Megadeth song but THAT SOLO MELTED MY FACE!!!!

    M.... ....

    Definitely one of the most beautiful and difficult solos I've ever heard.

  53. R.... D....

    Yas !!!!! 🤙

  54. T.... ....

    allahu akbar

  55. P.... C....

    A fellow sweeper🤙

  56. L.... S....

    Not bad the list but that includes Supercollider and is not, for example, Dystopia seems me awesome. Although for tastes, colors and asses.

  57. F.... L....

    If you can play like Dave Mustaine, or Greg Handevidt that might be true

  58. O.... ....

    That solo is still impossible for me after 2,5 years of lead guitar experience. Yeah, 2,5 years is not a long time but I'm really having bad times with this beatiful solo piece of Chris Broderick. Any tips?

    O.... ....

    After 10 years of guitar, my tip, don't even try. Nah kidding, it's all about hard work and learning to use your right hand in tapping parts fast.

    O.... ....

    Broderick himself often slip when playing the solo of this song. Checkout the live performance from 2009-2010.

  59. D.... D....

    This shits all over the new Metallica. It's true.

    D.... D....

    In fairness, I completely agree with you, and you are entitled to your own opinion, as the bigoted morons who also answered you would not accept. However, I don't think Metallica and Megadeth can really be compared. They're on opposite sides of the thrash metal spectrum, so to speak. Also, compared to 80s and 90s Metallica, it is a close call.

    D.... D....

    Ur right

    D.... D....

    @Keeling Charles Metallica lost their "Sound" in the black album. Cliff died with the band sadly, u cant compare metallica today because they arent as good as they used to be.

    D.... D....

    almost everything shits all over metallica after 1991.

    D.... D....

    They didn't lose their sound, they expanded on it. Metallica is power-heavy metal, not just thrash, which is quite niche, and then Load and Reload are fantastic alt metal albums, Bleeding Me and Cure standing out for me, and St Anger is a great nu metal album. But if you mean they lost the purely thrash sound of everything up to AJFA, then yes, I agree.

  60. A.... T....

    ♥♥♥♥♥♥

  61. d.... ....

    2:49 it's fucking awesome

    d.... ....

    Hell yeah dude!

  62. S.... X....

    This song reminds me of Power Rangers NInja Storm for some reason and I like it.

  63. D.... M....

    chris broderick was hands down a better guitarist than marty or chris poland

    D.... M....

    You cant even say that

    D.... M....

    Technically, yes. But Tornado of Souls for one is unassailable.

  64. s.... c....

    bad ass

  65. J.... G....

    mega bad@ss jay the snake gonzales

  66. F.... D....

    I love the intro riff !!

  67. L.... A....

    This song is heavy as fuck. I love the guitar tone!

    L.... A....

    Yeah the JVM just kills on this track and the whole album. United Abominations too.

  68. T.... ....

    The rhythm guitar passage during the solo reminds me of the chorus structure in "This Was My Life."

    T.... ....

    you r so right!

  69. A.... D....

    3:40 fade to black ?
    Still the best megadeth album in the 00s

    A.... D....

    Adarsh Pandoo you are stupid I'm guitarist and fade to crap jajaja, it's the easiest piece of shit on this world to play.

    A.... D....

    after this noone believe you{u r not guitarist] dont lie to children

    A.... D....

    No need to hate on Metallica, guys. You can like them and Megadeth at the same time. And FTB is a good song.

    A.... D....

    Dystopia > Endgame

    Both albums amazing though

  70. A.... A....

    De las mejores canciones del Endgame

  71. M.... C....

    Can't wait for this album to come out!

    M.... C....

    @***** of course i do, my dad introduced me to this band with this song.

  72. M.... S....

    I remember some asshole in my high school said metal was easy to play...

    M.... S....

    What a dumb ass🎸🤘

    M.... S....

    It's depend person...sir

    M.... S....

    ask him to play the Holy Wars intro, just that one intro riff.

    M.... S....

    yeah that guy was an idiot

    M.... S....

    In soviet Russia metal plays you!

  73. S.... A....

    Awesome track!!!

  74. J.... C....

    Endgame is a very strong album, this is megadeth with no gimmicks..

    J.... C....

    Dont need no woman beside it .

  75. I.... y....

    Awesome song, needs the tempo up a couple ticks.

    I.... y....

    +New York Police Department you can now change the speed, faster or slower on youtube! It makes a big difference to songs like this.

  76. O.... ....

    This intro reminded me of King Diamonds' "Bye Bye Missy."

  77. A.... G....

    this is a great song

  78. D.... L....

    ride the lightning...

    D.... L....

    Written by the same guy haha

  79. N.... P....

    1. Peace Sells- One of the greatest metal albums of all time
    2. Endgame- Amazing come back album, almost perfect
    3. Youthanasia- Amazing album, dark, powerful, fantastic
    4. Thirteen- Very underrated, fantastic hard rock album
    5. Rust in Peace- Overrated in my opinion, but still a great album
    6. United Abominations- Very good album, but a couple weak tracks hold it back
    7. So Far, So Good...So What- Still great sitting between two giants
    8. The System Has Failed- Great album, but I hate the guitar tone
    9. Cryptic Writings- Solid album, no real issues, just a bit boring
    10. Countdown to Extinction- Overrated but still good
    11. The World Needs a Hero- Decent album, just some weak tracks in there
    12. Risk- It's ok, a few good songs but that's it
    13. Super Collider- Weak, only about 3 or 4 good songs
    14. Killing Is My Business- Extremely overrated, sorry guys

    N.... P....

    KIMB , Peace sells and some stuff on SFSGSW & RIP were written at the same period (1980-1984), so to rate KIMB so low doesnt make any sense from that fact alone. Hangar 18 main riff already written before Dave joined Metallica.

    N.... P....

    Nick P I was impressed with your list when I say youthanasia and endgame as those albums are incredible. But... you’re fucking crazy if you think KIMB is overrated it is easily one of the most furious metal albums in creation along side peace sells

    N.... P....

    Just laughing

    N.... P....

    I think the title track and also Poison Was The Cure are quite weak. Lucretia isn't great, and Dawn Patrol are okay, the latter obviously being a filler, and then the other four are amazing. So personally I think I would only rate it 6 or 7/10.

  80. M.... A....

    OMG!!! 2:22-2:50 is SOOOOOO Countdown to Extinction era. Amazing that Dave can pull that out of his back pocket.

    M.... A....

    That was a Chris solo...

    M.... A....

    +Marceline Abadeer It sounds like CTE because the riff underneath the solo is very similiar to the chorus of This was my life.

    M.... A....

    Lol dave cant play that half speed

    M.... A....

    I love Dave, but he can't sweep pick like that. Or at all.

  81. M.... ....

    2:35 SLDASLKDAJSDLASDJSLFFDSFADSFDASFJKÑLDÑGFADGASDFKÑLÑ

  82. T.... S....

    Hey Aeon Seven, Metallica is still better!!!

    T.... S....

    @Travis Stewart in what aspect of logic?

    T.... S....

    +Travis Stewart Please listen to LULU

  83. D.... R....

    will be my next song for to make a cover of it.

  84. G.... S....

    ENDGAME,UN ALBUM DE PUTA MADRE!!!

    G.... S....

    NO YOU DIDN"T SEX CHANNGE ROOT BOY SLIM?

    G.... S....

    METALLICA METALLICA, AGUANTE METALLICA

    G.... S....

    @Thiaguiño Jr if you want, but here you're actually listening to Megadeth.

    G.... S....

    HETFIELD $$$$$ LOVE MEGADETH AGUANTE

    G.... S....

    Destroying every town, hell ye boi, esta cancion es lo mejor

  85. A.... G....

    Heavymetal \m/

    A.... G....

    Thrash Metal*

  86. L.... i....

    Fuck!! That solo is so fucking amazing

    L.... i....

    and the jackhammer riff right after

  87. f.... v....

    2:09 - 3:15

    f.... v....

    Its Fucking Awesome... yes it is...

  88. M.... N....

    I still prefer The System Has Failed tha Endgame, but badass album tough

    M.... N....

    TSHF is the best album . Made right after Dime was murdered I am guessing everyone was super serious and creative .

    M.... N....

    Both are awesome and underrated. I dont know wich one i prefer.

    M.... N....

    Also United Abominations and Th1rt3en

  89. J.... T....

    I like how they let broderick open up on this album.

    J.... T....

    +Joshua Thornton I hate how they caged him up for the next two albums -_-

    J.... T....

    Must have been a bad split between Dave and Chris...Dave takes every opportunity to publicly shit upon Chris and it's pretty dumb on his part... personally, I think Chris could smoke any other lead player that's ever been in Megadeth. He's a fucking monster

    J.... T....

    @jesse foster
    Nah. He's good, but not better than Poland imo.

    J.... T....

    He has incredible technical ability, but I think the lyricism of RiP's Friedman solos just about edge Broderick or Poland's for me.

    J.... T....

    @Ran Dot and Friedman... and IMO Jeff Young. I fucking love So far so good so what! That guy put a lot of rage and style there.

  90. b.... ....

    I wish every new Megadeth album was like this. I am not asking for another RiP, but please no more Risk and Supercollider!

    b.... ....

    Nothing wrong with any of those two Albums

    b.... ....

    you can ask for another RIP now that Kiko is in the band ;)

    b.... ....

    Whats wrong with it?

    b.... ....

    There were few reasons why Super collider sounds like what it is. The death of Dave mother in law due to dementia, the label forced them to write radio material again (like Capitol did on Risk), David said the label also gave them a very short deadline to put another new album just shortly after they've just finished the Thirteen tour.

    b.... ....

    Dystopia was fucking epic. Hope you found it

  91. w.... c....

    Surprisingly..Hahaha... Slap Yourself

  92. u.... ....

    OMFG......dat solo

  93. T.... ....

    Well, what of it? And in 1945, which was no longer valid as it was in Japan?

  94. �.... �....

    Another song about LOTR

  95. N.... B....

    no shit sherlock

  96. A.... M....

    Addicted to the intro riff

  97. s.... ....

    Megadeth's best album in years.
