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,...
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 across 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
Killing is My Business...And Business is Good! (1985)
