 " Die Dead Enough " was the lead single from The System Has Failed . Mustaine wrote it when he was asked to write a song for the movie Tomb Raider II , but the proposed budget for recording was too low and the deal fell through . Later on , the song was supposed to be featured in the film Saw , but ultimately was not for undisclosed reasons . This was later followed by the release of " Of Mice and Men " . Additionally , " Kick the Chair " was released as a free promotional download via Megadeth 's website in May 2004 , several months prior to the album 's release . This version of the song was described by Mustaine as being a final mix , but not the master that would appear on the record . " Tears in a Vial " was written by Mustaine shortly after Megadeth disbanded in 2002 about a decision to trade success for happiness . The next track on the album , " I Know Jack " , is an instrumental featuring a sample of a sample of Texas Senator Lloyd Bentsen 's famous response to Indiana Senator Dan Quayle during a 1988 vice @-@ presidential debate . " Shadow of Deth " consists of Mustaine reciting Psalm 23 . The Latin phrase heard at the beginning of the track , " Auxilium meum a Domino , " translates to " My help comes from the Lord . "
