[Intro]
Beginning of sorrow
There'll be no tomorrow
Beginning of sorrow

[Verse 1]
Easy prey, so innocent
She barely was a teen
Hooked up with Mr. Right now
A nightmare that stole her dreams
Complications come
The Doctor says you gotta know
You decide if the baby lives
But one of you has got to go

[Chorus]
The beginning of sorrow, (beginning of sorrow)
There will be no tomorrow, (there'll be no tomorrow)
The beginning of sorrow, (beginning of sorrow)
There will be no tomorrow

[Verse 2]
Brought forth in agony
This life was misbegot
Born in an alleyway
A child nobody will adopt
Delinquent in a foster home
His heart is so full of rage
His first name's "Ward"
His last name is "Of the State"

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Origo doloris non erit crastinus dies...

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Like father, like son
Soon he gets revenge
Two souls soon become one
The vicious cycle never ends
Unwanted, unloved
He lives now just to hate
From the pain of being born
And nothing can take that away

[Chorus]
The beginning of sorrow, (beginning of sorrow)
There will be no tomorrow, (there'll be no tomorrow)
The beginning of sorrow, (beginning of sorrow)
There will be no tomorrow

After being kicked out of Metallica, Dave Mustaine decided to form a Thrash Metal band that not only rivaled his former band, but played faster, more technical Metal. Along with bassist David ‘Junior’ Ellefson and a revolving door of guitarists and drummers, Mustaine set the world afire as Megadeth became known as the world’s state-of-the-art Speed Metal band throughout the 80s and the early 90s. One of the Big Four of Thrash Metal, Megadeth remains one of Metal’s most popular acts today.

However, Dave Mustaine’s fledgling band got off to a shaky start. Initially unable to find like-minded individuals, it was not until an altercation with his (underage) downstairs neighbours Dave Ellefson and Greg Handevidt, that led to him buying them beer and forming the first incarnation of the band with drummer Dijon Carruthers in 1983.

The band was named after a political pamphlet that referred to a “megadeath” (one million deaths by nuclear explosion):
