[Verse 1]
When you feel life is bringing you down
And you see that you’re all alone
When your friends they have all run out
That is when you will know I’m the one

[Chorus]
On the high road (on the high road)
I will take you higher (I will take you higher)
Till the world explodes (till the world explodes)
Just like a super collider (like a super collider)

[Verse 2]
This could be all the heaven you’ll see
Life can be wicked, mean and cold
Could this be the end of your living hell
Come with me and I’ll free your soul

[Chorus]
On the high road (on the high road)
I will take you higher (I will take you higher)
Till the world explodes (till the world explodes)
Just like a super collider (like a super collider)

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Just one thing that I want you to know
You don’t need to be on your own
No more feeling left out in the cold
Take my hand and I’ll take you home

[Chorus]
On the high road (on the high road)
I will take you higher (I will take you higher)
Till the world explodes (till the world explodes)
Just like a super collider (like a super collider)

On the high road (on the high road)
I will take you higher (I will take you higher)
Till the world explodes (till the world explodes)
Just like a super collider (super collider, yeah)

[Outro]
On the high road (like a super collider)
I will take you higher (like a super collider)
Till the world explodes (like a super collider)
Super collider...

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):
