“Black Curtains” is the eleventh track off of Megadeth’s Youthanasia. It later appeared in several versions of the single “Train of Consequences.”

[Verse 1]
Hey, look around you
Everything's helter-skelter
Listen up, I warn you
Run for cover, run
Bang, it happened
Time's up, Armageddon
Fire, meltdown
The sky is crumbling in
[Chorus]
Black curtains, never-ending
Black curtains
[Verse 2]
Escape, you're joking
Can't find no place to run
Hair is burning
My flesh is bubbling up
Blood is boiling
Taste copper on my tongue
Fate is coming
Welcome it with a smile
[Chorus]
Black curtains, never-ending
Black curtains fall
Black curtains, never-ending
Black curtains
[Interlude]
Something's under my skin
Something's very strange
Playing with my mind
Tempting me to do you in
[Bridge]
Am I dreaming? My heart pounds my chest
Held for ransom in a spider's web
Suffocating, no one hears my calls
Never-ending, 'til the black curtain falls
[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Snakes surround me
Offering their death kiss to me
Down, I'm drowning
How long? I hold my breath
Dogs are chasing
My legs are paralyzed
Pray, don't find me
My life is fading fast
[Chorus]
Black curtains, never-ending
Black curtains fall
Black curtains, never-ending
Black curtains
