Megadeth released “Soldier On!”, the third single of their upcoming 16th studio album “The Sick, The Dying and The Dead” that will be out next September 2. The new album was recorded by Dave Mustaine (Guitar and vocals), Kiko Loureiro (Guitar), Dirk Verbeuren (Drums) and Steve DiGiorgio (Bass), who remade David Ellefson’s (Fired) basslines.
On June, Megadeth confirmed that James LoMenzo is now the band’s permanent bass player. “For the first time in a long time, everything that we needed on this record is right in its place. I can’t wait for the public to get hold of this!” Dave Mustaine said in an official statement.

“Soldier On!” lyrics
Via AZ Lyrics
“No reason left for living, living all alone
And dying unforgiven, with unforgiven bones
Dead years, and the dread years, they were all throughout your life
The road was soon your mistress, and the stage became your wife
Marching off to war, everyone can see
They’re paralyzed with fear, they get down on their knees and pray
Of all the battles won and lost, the lives and treasures that it cost
I know I’ve got to soldier on!
Watching mankind destroy itself, walk straight into the mouth of Hell
I know I’ve got to soldier on!
No reason left for dying, dying to be right
Days, living unforgiven, and unforgiven nights
Lean years, and the mean years, they were all throughout your life
Two steps forward and two steps back, you’re out of time
Marching off to war, everyone can see
They’re paralyzed with fear, they get down on their knees and pray
Of all the battles won and lost, the lives and treasures that it cost
I know I’ve got to soldier on!
Watching mankind destroy itself, walk straight into the mouth of Hell
I know I’ve got to soldier on!
Of all the battles won and lost, the lives and treasures that it cost
I know I’ve got to soldier on!
Watching mankind destroy itself, walk straight into the mouth of Hell
I know I’ve got to soldier on!
Marching off to war, everyone can see
They’re paralyzed with fear, they get down on their knees and pray
Of all the battles won and lost, the lives and treasures that it cost
I know I’ve got to soldier on!
Watching mankind destroy itself, walk straight into the mouth of Hell
I know I’ve got to soldier on!
Of all the battles won and lost, the lives and treasures that it cost
I know I’ve got to soldier on!
Watching mankind destroy itself, walk straight into the mouth of Hell
I know I’ve got to soldier on!”
