"Tornado of Souls" was originally released on Megadeth's fourth studio album "Rust in Peace". It was their third album distributed through Capitol Records, and their only collaboration with record producer Mike Clink who was the first producer to successfully produce a Megadeth album from start to finish, without being fired. It was the first album to feature guitarist Marty Friedman and drummer Nick Menza, following the firing of both Jeff Young and Chuck Behler in 1989.

There are nine tracks on the album, with lyrics inspired by subjects ranging from nuclear fallout, war, religion, Area 51, and fantasy. Two singles were released from the album: "Hangar 18" and "Holy Wars... The Punishment Due", which have become staples of the band's live performances."Rust in Peace" was very well received by both critics and fans and was responsible for bringing Megadeth to the attention of a mainstream metal audience, and it is considered one of the most influential heavy metal albums of all time. The album was nominated for Best Metal Performance at the 33rd Grammy Awards, and "Hangar 18" was nominated for the same award at the 34th Grammy Awards. Allmusic described the record as "easily Megadeth's strongest musical effort", and it was noted as one of 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. It is also the first Megadeth album without an ellipsis in the title.

Lyrics:

This morning I made the call
The one that ends it all
Hanging up, I wanted to cry
But dammit, this well's gone dry
Not for the money, not for the fame
Not for the power, just no more games

But now I'm safe in the eye of the tornado
I can't replace the lies, that let a 1000 days go
No more living trapped inside
In her way I'll surely die
In the eye of the tornado, blow me away

You'll grow to loathe my name
You'll hate me just the same
You won't need your breath
And soon you'll meet your death
Not from the years, not from the use
Not from the tears, just self abuse

But now I'm safe in the eye of the tornado
I can't replace the lies, that let a 1000 days go
No more living trapped inside
In her way I'll surely die
In the eye of the tornado, blow me away

Who's to say, what's for me to say
Who's to say, what's for me to be
Who's to say, what's for me to do
Cause a big nothing it'll be for me

The land of opportunity
The golden chance for me
My future looks so bright
Now I think I've seen the light

Can't say what's on my mind
Can't do what I really feel
In this bed I made for me
Is where I sleep, I really feel

I warn you of the fate
Proven true to late
Your tongue twist perverse
Come drink now of this curse
And now I fill your brain
I spin you round again
My poison fills your head
As I tuck you into bed
You feel my fingertips
You won't forget my lips
You'll feel my cold breath
It's the kiss of death

This morning
I made the call

The one that
ends it all

Hanging up,
I wanted to cry

But dammit,
this well's gone dry

Not for the money,
not for the fame

Not for the power,
just no more games

But now I'm safe
in the eye of the tornado

I can't replace the lies,
that let a 1000 days go

No more living
trapped inside

In her way
I'll surely die

In the eye of the tornado,
blow me away

You'll grow
to loathe my name

You'll hate me
just the same

You won't need
your breath

And soon
you'll meet your death

Not from the years,
not from the use

Not from the tears,
just self abuse

But now I'm safe in the eye of the tornado

Who's to say
what's for me to say... be... do

I can't replace the lies that let a 1000 days go

No more living trapped inside

In her way I'll surely die

In the eye of the tornado, blow me away

Cause a big nothing
it'll be for me

The land of opportunity

The golden chance for me

My future looks so bright

Now I think I've seen the light

Can't say what's on my mind

Can't do what I really feel

In this bed I made for me

Is where I sleep, I really feel

I warn you of the fate

Proven true to late

Your tongue twist perverse

Come drink now of this curse

And now I fill your brain

I spin you round again

My poison fills your head

As I tuck you into bed

You feel my fingertips

You won't forget my lips

You'll feel my cold breath

It's the kiss of death
