Last rites / Loved to death

(Mustaine)

Your body's empty now as I hold you
Now gone I miss you but I told you
I remember bad times more than good
There's no coming back even if we could

I loved you to death
I loved you to death

If I can't have you than no one will
And since I won't I'll have to kill
My only love's something I've never felt
Now you've gone to heaven and you'll burn in hell

I loved you to death
I loved you to death

And now I'm down below and what do I see?
You didn't go to heaven, you're down here with me
And now coming back, baby, take me, please
I really think I would if you weren't such a sleaze

I loved you once before
You kept me on a string
I'd rather go without
Than take what you would bring

I loved you to death
I loved you to death



Killing is my business...and business is good!

(Mustaine)

I am a snyper, always hit the mark
Paid assassin working after dark
Looking through the night, using infra red
My target on you, aimed at your head

Ten thousand up front
Ten thousand when I'm through
And I know just what to do
And ya know I'll do it too

Then I'm coming back for you
Back for you

I do the getting rid of, don't tell me why
Don't need to hear the truth, don't need the lies
Now pay me quickly and now we're through
It brings me great pleasure to say my next job is you

Don't you know that killing is my business?
And business is good
Killing is my business
And business is good

Killing is my business
And business is good
Killing is my business
And business is good

Killing is my business
And business is good
Killing is my business
And business is good

You'd better believe it



The skull beneath the skin

(Mustaine)

Mean and infectious
The evil prophets rise
Dance of the macabre
As witches streak the sky

Decadent worship of
Black magic sorcery
In the womb of the devil's dungeon
Trapped without a plea

See thing in agony
Necrosis is the fate
Pins sticking through the skin
The venom now sedates

Locked in a pillory
Nowhere to be found
Screaming for your life
But no one hears a sound

Help me!

Prepare the patients scalp
To peel away
Metal caps his ears
He'll hear not what we say

Solid steel visor
Riveted cross his eyes
Iron staples close his jaws
So no one hears his cries

The skull beneath the skin
The skull beneath the skin

Now you're drawn and quartered
Your bones will make the x
Symbol stands for poison
And it's chained to your head

And as we fold your arms
To make the holy cross
We cross the crucifix
Religion has been lost

The skull beneath the skin
The skull beneath the skin



These boots



You keep saying you got something for me
Something you call love but I call sex
You've been kissing when you oughta be a screwing
And now someone else can kiss your ass

These boots are made for walking
That's just what they'll do
And one of these days these boots
Are gonna walk all over you

You keep lying and there ain't no believing
And you keep staying when you oughta be a leaving
Now what's right is right
But you ain't been right yet

These boots are made for walking
That's just what they'll do
And one of these days these boots
Are gonna walk all over you

These boots

You keep dressing ways you shouldn't be dressing
And you keep thinking that you'll never get burned
I just found me a brand new box spring mattress
What you know, bitch? You got a lot to learn

These boots are made for walking
That's just what they'll do
And one of these days these boots
Are gonna walk all over you

These boots

Are you ready, boots?
And you think I'm kidding, don't ya?



Rattlehead

(Mustaine)

Well, here I come

Stand up and plant your feet
Listen, I'm letting off steam
Now throw your hands in the air
Let loose, I don't fucking care

Rattlehead

A dose of metal you need
To bang your head 'till you bleed
It's time for snapping some neck
Slashing, thrashing to megadeth

Rattlehead

You, your head is pounding with pain

Winning, sinning, beginning
Feeding, the needing for bleeding
Bashing, smashing, crashing
Fraying, annhilating you

There's someone back in the shadows
You feel though you can't see his eyes
He'll bash your head if you cross him
Ain't quite your average guy

Don't wear no leather to fitting
Don't wear no spike to be cool
Don't want no woman beside him
Just make it fast, loud and rude

Rattlehead

I'm a rattlehead
Rattle your goddamn head



Chosen ones

(Mustaine)

You doubt your strength or courage
Don't come to join with me
For death surely wants you
With sharp and pointy teeth

An animal so vicious
No others fought and won
So on the fields of battle
We are the chosen ones

Human bones blanket the dirt
Of the heathens lair
That we must pass this den of death
The only path from here

But I walk in the light
The time to die has come
No one shall take my life
I'm of the chosen ones

Black shadows fill the sky
As the creatures eyes grow near
Raise the shield of the holy pilgrims
High into the air

Heavens powers fill my arms
Onward now to fight I'm sent
Oh, the beast is coming
To put you to the test

Look out!

Now this land is mine to pilage
Rape and steal and take at will
Never let you cross this path
I reign for now, I say to kill



Looking down the cross

(Mustaine)

Now before they take me
And my blessed life
Now you'll know why death
Was summoned here tonight

I'll recall my perils
They'll kill me in pride
No, I can't run away
There's no place to hide

Though too much to live for
I owe enough to die
Ask not for salvation
My death shall mean their lives

Hatred and guilt, the alter they've built
High preists of sin
Destiny, fate, the wicked ones gate
Beckoning you in

They're beckoning you in

Down the walkways
Through the blood stained town
Looking down the cross
Bleeding from the crown

Led to stay
To die besides the thieves
Kill the king
Of the world to be

And now to you this will come
A putrifying pestolence
More noxious than the serpents breath
Male violently destined

More corrupt than the
Malice of choronzon
More disease than the wind
Of the moonlight sun

Putrification you have caused
No need for confession
Now you wish you had a gun
To stop the demolition


Swinging the judgement hammer
Man, woman, child, no one is safe
The heads of the dead are the banner

And this was all you got so don't these broken wings
Sands of time run out, bells of Hades ring
Is this a nightmare to unhallow thy name?
Smell of brimstone, dancing in the flames

No help now as you fulfill his task
Chief of evil has got you by the ass
Set free to sit upon the throne
Just a dream, you're weeping all alone

Looking down the cross
Speak no evil
I'm looking down the cross
Speak no evil

Looking down the cross
Speak no evil
I'm looking down the cross
Speak no evil



Mechanix

(Mustaine)

Imagine you were at my station
And you brought your motor to me
You're a burner, yeah
A real motor car

Said you wanna get your order filled
Made me shiver when I put it in
Pumping just won't do
Ya know luckily for you

Whoever thought you'd be better
At turning a screw than me
I do it for my life

Made my drive shaft crank
Made my pistons bulge
Made my ball bearing melt from the heat

We were shifting hard when we took off
Put tonight all four on the floor
When we hit top end
You know, it feels to slow

Said you wanna get your order filled
Made me shiver when I put it in
Pumping just won't do
Ya know luckily for you

Whoever thought you'd be better
At turning a screw than me
I do it for my life

Made my drive shaft crank
Made my pistons bulge
Made my ball bearing melt from the heat

I'm giving you my room service
And you know it's more than enough
Oh, one more time
You know I'm in love

Said you wanna get your order filled
Made me shiver when I put it in
Pumping just won't do
Ya know luckily for you

Whoever thought you'd be better
At turning a screw than me
I do it for my life

Made my drive shaft crank
Made my pistons bulge
Made my ball bearing melt from the heat
