Kings Of Thrash, the group featuring past Megadeth members David Ellefson (bass) and Jeff Young (guitar), recently inked a worldwide contract with Cleopatra Records and delivered a first single “Burned Bridges.”
The band talked about the track, saying ““Here it is, our first KOT original song ‘Bridges Burned’! One that has its origins from a riff Jeff brought in back in 1988, intended for what became Rust In Peace. Today that riff laid the groundwork for a truly collaborative effort between the four of us in Kings Of Thrash and paves the way for our creative path forward… more to come!””
The lyrics of the song make it unambiguously clear that it is a diss song pointed at Dave Mustaine, particularly taking into account the fact that the band right now are playing two Megadeth albums in full on their live set.
The lyrics to the song can be found below. Unfortunately, due to the band disabling the ability to do so, we cannot include a video in this post, but if you would like to view it, please click here.
Once upon a time in the land of the blind
They called you a “King” but you were dead inside
From cradle to grave – You can’t escape the Karma you make
Now the Devil’s hand is calling you!You’re goin down
You’re goin under now
Trapped in a haze – you’re a lying disgrace
Now there’s nobody left – all your bridges burned downYou never care who you hurt or betray
Just like a viper – slither away
Poison running through your veins
On your knees – accept the blame
Desitny calls your name
You’re goin under nowYou’re goin down
You’re goin under now
Trapped in a haze – you’re a lying disgrace
Now there’s nobody left – all your bridges burninYou’re goin down
You’re so blind – You’re losing your mind
Just an empty shell
All your bridges burning
