Last Rites

(Instrumental)
 

Loved to Deth

Tu cuerpo está vacío mientras te tengo
Ahora te fuiste, te extraño pero te dije
Recuerdo los malos momentos más que los buenos
No hay camino de vuelta ni siquiera si pudiéramos
Te amé hasta la muerte

Si no te puedo tener, entonces nadie lo va a hacer
Y como no te voy a tener, tendré que matar
Mi único amor, algo que nunca sentí
Ahora fuiste al cielo y yo me voy a quemar en el infierno
Te amé hasta la muerte

Ahora estoy bien abajo... y qué veo?
No fuiste al cielo, estás acá abajo conmigo
Ahora volves a mí 'Bebé, llevame por favor!'
Lo haría si no fueras una debilucha
Antes yo te amé, me mantenías sobre una cuerda
Prefiero andar solo a tomar algo que vos traigas
Te amé hasta la muerte

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 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 (Repeat)

You'd better believe it 

Solo-Poland


The 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


These Boots

Solo-Poland 

You keep saying you got something for me
Something you call love, but I call sex

You've been kissing when you ought-a-be-a

Screwing and now someone else can

Kiss your ass

These boots are made for walking

Thats just what they'll do

And one of these days these boots

Are gonna walk all over you

Solo-Poland

You keep lieing and there ain't no believing
And you keep stayin when you ought-a-be-a leaving

Now what's right is right but you ain't been

Right yet
These Boots...

Solo-Poland

You keep dressin ways you shouldn't
Be dressing

And you keep thinking that you'll never

Get burned Ha!

I just found me a brand new Box Spring

Mattress

What you know bitch you got a lot ta learn

These boots... are you ready boots

Solo-Poland

And you think I'm kiddin, Don'tchya!


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 

Rattle Head
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

Rattle Head
You, Your head, is pounding with pain

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 "fittin"

Don't wear no spike to be "cool"

Don't want no woman beside him

Just make it fast, Loud and Rude

Rattle Head

Solo-Mustaine

I'm a Rattle Head
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 one

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


Looking Down the Cross

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

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 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)


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

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

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

Solo-Mustaine
