Last Rides / Loved To Deth
(Mustaine)Solo - Mustaine Your body's empty now as I hold you Now you're 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 If I can't have you then no one will And since I won't I'll have to kill My only love, something I've never felt Now you've gone to heaven and I'll burn in hell I loved you to death Solo - Mustaine And now I'm down below, what do I see? You didn't go to heaven you're down here with me And now you're 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 |

Killing Is My Business... And Business Is Good!
(Mustaine)I am a sniper always hit the mark Paid assassin working after dark Looking through the night using infra-red Target's on you aimed at your head $10,000 up front $10,000 when I'm through And I know just what to do And you know I'll do it too Then I'm coming 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 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 Solo - Poland You'd better believe it |
Killing Is My Business... And Business Is Good!

The Skull Beneath The Skin
(Mustaine)Solo - 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 Solo - Mustaine 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 patient's scalp to peel away Metal cap's 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 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 Solo - Mustaine |

Rattlehead
(Mustaine)Here I come Stand up and plant your feet Listen I'm letting off steam Now throw your hands in the air Let it loose I don't fucking care Solo - Poland Rattlehead A dose of metal you need To bang your head till you bleed It's time for snapping some necks Slashing, thrashing to Megadeth Solo - Poland Rattlehead Solo - Poland You, your head, is pounding with pain You shake loose parts of your brain Winning, sinning, beginning Feeding, the needing for bleeding Bashing, smashing, crashing Frying, annihilating you! Solo - Poland 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 "fit in" Don't wear no spikes to be "cool" Don't want no woman beside him Just make it fast, loud and rude Rattlehead Solo - Mustaine 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 waits 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 creature's eyes grow near Raise the shield of the holy pilgrim 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 Solo - Mustaine Lookout! Solo - Mustaine Now this land is mine to pillage Rape, and steal, and take at will Never let you cross this path I reign for now I stay to kill Bass solo - Ellefson You doubt your strength or courage Don't come to join with me For death surely waits 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 |

Looking Down The Cross
(Mustaine)Solo - 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 priests of sin Destiny, fate the wicked ones gate beckoning you in Solo - Mustaine Down the walkways through the blood stained town Looking down the cross bleeding from the crown Led to slay, to die besides the thieves Kill the king of the world to be And now to you, this will come a putrefying pestilence More noxious than the serpent's breath malevolently destined More corrupt than the malice of Choronzon More disease than the wind of the moonlight sun Putrefaction you have caused no need for confession Now you wish you had a God to stop your demolition Crushing the bones of the hundredfolds swinging the judgment hammer Man, woman, child no-one is safe the heads of the dead are the banner And this was all you got so don these broken wings Sands of time run out, bells of Hades ring Is this a nightmare to un-hallow 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 Solo - Mustaine 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 want to 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 bearings 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 too slow Said you want to 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 bearings 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 want to 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, fuck yeah Made my drive shaft crank, made my pistons bulge Made my ball bearings melt from the heat, oh yeah Solo - Mustaine |
