“New World Order” is another song with an old-school thrash tune and political theme in the lyrics from Megadeth’s thirteenth studio album.
This song originally was written by one of Megadeth’s classic lineups, during the Clash of the Titans tour in the early 1990s. Back in 1992, the band recorded...
[Verse 1]
Where hath the apostles gone?
Joining hands with wicked ones
Revelation has come to pass
New World Order
Will hold the mass
A book written by man
