Ashes In Your Mouth Lyrics
People have round shoulders from fairing heavy loads
And the soldiers liberate them, laying mines along their roads
Sorrow paid for valor is too much to recall
Of the countless corpses piled up along the wailing wall
Melting down all metals, turning plows and shears to swords
Shun words of the Bible, we need implements of war
Chalklines and red puddles of those who have been slain
Destiny, that crooked schemer, says the dead shall rise again
Chorus
Where do we go from here?
And should we really care?
The end is finally here,
God have mercy!
Now we've rewritten history
The one thing we've found out
Sweet taste of vindication
It turns to ashes in your mouth
Chorus
If you're fighting to live
It's O.K. to die!
The answer to your question is...
Welcome to tomorrow!
Solo - Marty - Marty - Dave
Where do we go from here?
God have mercy!
Chorus
And the soldiers liberate them, laying mines along their roads
Sorrow paid for valor is too much to recall
Of the countless corpses piled up along the wailing wall
Shun words of the Bible, we need implements of war
Chalklines and red puddles of those who have been slain
Destiny, that crooked schemer, says the dead shall rise again
Where do we go from here?
And should we really care?
The end is finally here,
God have mercy!
The one thing we've found out
Sweet taste of vindication
It turns to ashes in your mouth
It's O.K. to die!
The answer to your question is...
Welcome to tomorrow!
God have mercy!

One of my top 5 Deth songs.
Ultimately I think the song is a general anti-war song. The sweet taste of vindication will turn to ashes in your mouth.
I think it is describing about history repeating itself with the endless wars that we wage and ultimately we never learn from our mistakes. Hence "Welcome to Tomorrow!"
Awesome song and also solos and one of the best drum outtro's ever!!
Amazing solos On This Song!
Amazing solos On This Song!
Omg this song defentely deserves more comments. Its the best song off countdown to extintion.
Defiantly one of the best songs from CTD.
"Melting down all metals, turning plows and shears to swords Shun words of the Bible, we need implements of war Chalklines and red puddles of those who have been slain Destiny, that crooked schemer, says the dead shall rise again"
Certainly a message of anti-war. But I believe it's about government creating their own Judgement day, their own vision of Armageddon to free the world of evil, expecting their good to win... perhaps from a power crazed leader?
i cant say this is the best song because in my opinion all megadeth songs are great. that is so great i cant choose between them
Hell Yeah this song needs more credit some of the best solo work EVER from Mustaine and Freidman and it just kicks ass
this is an anti-war song. its about general hopelessness for the future of humanity. in future they cant see peace around the world, they can expect only wars in the future... everybody will fighting with each other, at last a day will come- The Judgement Day .
Agreed. This so is amazing. About the hopelessness of the endless warring of mankind (in my opinion). This song deserves way more comments
I think many people miss that the song answers it's own question.
Q: Where do we go from here? A: Tomorrow.
Tomorrow is always where we go next.
