Last rites / love to death
Killing is my business... and business is good
Skull beneath the skin

Looking down the croos

Last rites / love to death
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 deth 

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 deth 

Solo * Mustaine 

And now I'm down below 
And what do I see 
You didn't go to heaven 
Your 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 deth

Killing is my business... and business is good
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 
$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 
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 (Repeat title 7 times) 
Solo * Poland (after 3rd repeat) 

You'd better believe it!

Skull beneath the skin
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 
Hellpp Mmmeeeeee 
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 

Now your 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
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 fuckin care 

Solo * Poland 

Rattlehead 

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

Solo * Poland 

Rattlehead 

You, your head, is pounding with pain 
You shake loose, while sucked out brains (UNSURE OF THIS LYRIC) 
Winning, sinning, beginning 
Feeding, the needing for bleeding 
Bashing, smashing, crashing 
Fraying, annhilating 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 spike 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
You doubt your strength or courage 
Don't come to join with me 
For Deth 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 deth 
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 till 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 

Solo * Mustaine 

Lookout! 
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 

You doubt your strength or courage 
Don't come to join with me 
For Deth 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

Looking down the croos
Solo * Mustaine 

Now before they take me 
And my blessed life 
Now you'll know why Deth 
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 Deth 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 

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 
Malevolently 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 God 
To stop your demolition 
Crushing the bones of the hundred folds 
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 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?
Your weeping all alone 

Solo * Mustaine 

Looking down the cross 
(speak no evil) 
I'm looking down the cross 
(speak no evil) 
(Repeat the four lines above)

Mechanix
Imagine you were at my station 
And you brought your motor to me 
Your 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 

Chorus 
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 

Chorus 

I'm giving you my room service 
And ya know it's more than enough 
Oh one more time ya 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 
  
Chorus 

Solo * Mustaine
