Black Curtains Lyrics

Cover art for Black Curtains lyrics by Megadeth

Easily one of the heaviest on Youthanasia. Instead of bastardizing the song by arguing about what it sounds like, let's talk about the song's MEANING.

It Sounds to me as if it is about a Nuclear Holocaust that has been unleashed upon the world :

"Bang... it happened Time's up, armageddon Fire... meltdown The sky is crumbling in"

"Escape... you're joking Can't find no place to run"

"Hair... is burning My flesh is bubbling up"

Very clear meaning IMO
