Megadeth, neboli zkomolenina slovíčka "Megadeath" by se tedy dalo volně přeložit jako "masová smrt", skupina vždy zpívala na témata válka, rasismus, politika... atd. Zároveň patří do tzv. "Velké Trash-metalové Čtyřky" tj. METALLICA, MEGADETH,...
You take a mortal man,
And put him in control
Watch him become a god,
Watch peoples heads a'roll
A roll, A roooooooollll
Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes,
Swaying to the Symphony Of Destruction
Acting like a robot,
Its metal brain corrodes
You try to take its pulse,
Before the head explodes
Explodes, exploooodes
The earth starts to rumble
World powers fall
A'warring for the heavens,
A peaceful man stands tall
Tall, taaaaaaalll
