Theme

This is a cover of the title track from **Black Sabbath's 1978 album** (the last one featuring Ozzy Osbourne for many years). The song is an anthem of **resilience and defiance**, encouraging listeners to never give up, even when faced with overwhelming circumstances ('Panic, silver lining, writing's on the wall'). Megadeth's inclusion of the track highlights the band's appreciation for their metal roots and their own relentless attitude.

Lyrics
People going nowhere, taken for a ride Looking for the answers that they know inside Searching for a reason, looking for a rhyme Snow White's mirror said "partners in crime!" Don't they ever have to worry? Don't you ever wonder why? It's a part of me that tells you Oh, don't you ever, don't ever say die **Never, never, never say die again** Sunday's satisfaction, Monday's home and dry Truth is on the doorstep, welcome in the lie All dressed up in sorrow, got no place to go Hold back, `till it's ready, taking it slow Don't they ever have to worry? Don't you ever wonder why? It's a part of me that tells you Oh, don't you ever, don't ever say die **Never, never, never say die again** Don't you ever say die Don't you ever say die **Never say die** Panic, silver lining, writing's on the wall Children get together, you can save us all Future's on the corner, throwing us a die Slow down, turn around, everything's fine There's no need to have a reason There's no need to wonder why It's a part of me that tells you Oh, don't you ever, don't ever say die **Never, never, never say die again**
