    Here are the lyrics for the entire Megadeth Album "Rust in peace"

    1.Holy Wars...The Punishment Due

    Brother will kill brother
    Spilling blood across the land
    Killing for religion
    Something I don't understand

    Fools like me, who cross the sea
    And come to foreign lands
    Ask the sheep, for their beliefs
    Do you kill on God's command?

    A country that's divided
    Surely will not stand
    My past erased, no more disgrace
    No foolish naive stand

    The end is near, it's crystal clear
    Part of the master plan
    Don't look now to Israel
    It might be in your homelands

    Holy wars

    Upon my podium, as the
    Know it all scholar
    Down in my seat of judgement
    Gavel's bang, uphold the law
    Up on my soapbox, a leader
    Out to change the world
    Down in my pulpit as the holier
    Than-thou-could-be-messenger of God

    Wage the war on organized crime
    Sneak attacks, repel down the rocks
    Behind the lines
    Some people risk to employ me
    Some people live to destroy me
    Either way they die.

    They killed my wife, and my baby
    With hopes to enslave me
    First mistake...last mistake!
    Paid by the alliance, to slay all the giants
    Next mistake...no more mistakes!

    Fill the cracks in, with judicial granite
    Because I don't say it, don't mean I ain't
    Thinkin'it
    Next thing you know, they'll take my thoughts away
    I know what I said, now I must scream of the overdose
    And the lack of mercy killings.


    2. Hangar 18

    Welcome to our fortress tall
    Take some time to show you around
    Impossible to break these walls
    For you see the steel is much too strong
    Computer banks to rule the world
    Instruments to sight the stars

    Possibly I've seen too much
    Hangar 18 I know too much.

    Foreign life forms inventory
    Suspended State of cryogenics
    Selective amnesia's the story
    Believed foretold but who'd suspect
    The military intelligence
    Two words combined that can't make sense

    Possibly I've seen too much
    Hangar 18 I know too much.


    3. Take No Prisoners

    Got on chance, infiltrate them
    Get it right, terminate them
    The Panzers will, permeate them
    Break their pride, denigrate them
    And their people, retrograde them
    Typhus, detriate them
    Epidemic, devastate them
    Take no prisoners, cremate them

    Going to war, give 'em hell
    D-Day, next stop Normandie
    Beginning of the end
    WE know how to and sure as shit we'll win
    War is peace sure man
    A retreat for the damned
    A playground for the demented
    A haven for those who walk this world
    Bereft of heart and soul
    Love and war they say all is fair
    Take his life
    But won't take his hair
    Your body has parts your
    Country can spare
    By the way son here's
    Your wheelchair

    He once had to be all he could be
    Now he's nothing for no one nowhere to see
    Funny thing, he's like you & me
    It's a funny thing, a funny thing
    Tears streak his solemn stare
    Abandoned for wreckage nobody cares
    No one knew what would happen there
    No one spoke no one even dared
    Don't ask what you can do for you country
    Ask what your country can do for you
    Take no prisoners, take no shit


    4. Five Magics

    Bestow upon me knowledge
    Wizard - all knowing all wise
    I want to rule this kingdom
    Make sweet the breeze now defiled
    Dethrone the evil prince's iron fist
    In velvet gloves of sin
    Parade the grey robed monks
    The vestal virgins, wheel the wyvern's in
    Let the ceremony
    consecrate the marriage
    Let me be the protege
    Of five magics
    Give me alchemy
    Wizardry
    Sorcery
    Thermatology
    Electricity
    Magic if you please
    Master all of these
    Bring him to his knees
    I master five magics

    Possessed with hellish torment
    I master magic "5"
    Hunting the abyss lord
    Only one will stay alive
    He who lives by the sword
    Will surely also die
    He who lives in sin
    Will surely live the lie


    5.Poison Was The Cure

    I miss the warm embrace I felt
    First time you touched me
    Secure and safe in open arms
    I should have known you'd crush me
    A snake you were when we met
    I loved you anyway
    Pulling out your poisoned fangs
    The venom never goes away
    Serpent swims free in my blood
    Dragons sleeping in my veins
    Jackyl speaking with tongue
    Roach egg laying in my brain
    Once stalked beneath your shadow
    Sleepwalking to the gallows
    I'm the sun that beats your brow in
    Til I finally threw the towel in
    Never knowing if I'd wake up in a
    Whirlpool got redundant
    My brain was just some driftwood
    In a cesspool I became dead
    From a rock star to a desk fool
    Was my destiny someone said
    Loves a tidepool
    Taste the waters life's abundant
    Taste me


    6.Lucretia

    Sitting up late at night
    A tiptoe through the darkness
    Cold as hell black as spades
    Aware of my immediate surrounding
    In my place I escape
    Up into my hideout
    Hiding from everyone
    My friends all say
    Dave your mental anyway hey!
    Drift into a deeper state
    I stalk a cobwebbed stairways
    Dirt grits beneath me feet
    The stair creaks, I precariously sneak

    Hypnosis guides my hand
    I slipside through the walkways
    Sit in granny's rockin' chair
    Memories are whirling by yeah
    Reminisce in the attic
    Lucretia waits impatiently
    Cobwebs make me squint
    The cobra so eloquently glints
    Moonbeams surge through the sky
    The crystal ball's energized
    Surely that like the cat waiting
    Lucretia rocks away


    7.Tornado Of Souls

    This morning I made the call
    The one that ends it all
    Hanging up, I wanted to cry
    Bu dammit, this well's gone dry
    Not for the money, not for the fame
    Not for the power, just no more games
    But now I'm safe in the eye of the tornado
    I can't replace the lies, that let a 1000 days go
    No more living trapped inside
    In her way I'll surely die
    In the eye of the tornado, blow me away

    You'll grow to loathe my name
    You'll hate me just the same
    You won't need your breath
    And soon you'll meet your death
    Not from the years, not from the use
    Not from the tears, just self abuse

    Who's to say what's for me to say...be...do
    Cause a big nothing it'll be for me
    The land of opportunity
    The golden chance for me
    My future looks so bright
    Now I think I've seen the light

    Can't say what's on my mind
    Can't do what I really feel
    In this bed I made for me
    Is where I sleep, I really feel
    I warn you of the fate
    Proven true to late
    Your tongue twist perverse
    Come drink now of this curse
    And now I fill your brain
    I spin you round again
    My poison fills your head
    As I tuck you into bed
    You feel my fingertips
    You won't forget my lips
    You'll feel my cold breath
    It's the kiss of death


    8. Dawn Patrol

    Thermal count is rising
    In perpetual writhing
    The primordial ooze
    And the sanity they lose

    Awakened in the morning
    To more air pollution warnings
    Still we sleepwalk off to work
    While our nervous systems jerk

    Pretending not to notice
    How history had forebode us
    With the green house in effect
    Our environment was wrecked

    Now I can only laugh
    As I read our epitaph
    We end our lives as moles
    In the dark of dawn patrol


    9. Rust In Peace...Polaris

    Tremble you weakings, cower in fear
    I am your ruler, land, sea and air
    Immense in my girth, erect I stand tall
    I am nuclear murderer I am Polaris
    Ready to pounce at the touch of a button
    My systems locked in on military gluttons
    I rule on land, air and sea
    Pass judgement on humanity
    Winds blow from the bowels of hell
    Will we give warnings, only time will tell
    Satan rears his ugly head, to spit into the wind
    I spread disease like a dog
    Discharge my payload a mile high
    Rotten egg air of death wrestles your nostrils
    Launch the Polaris, the end doesn't scare us
    When will this cease
    The warheads will all rust in peace
    Bomb shelters filled to the brim
    Survival such a silly whim
    World leaders sell missiles cheap
    Your stomach turns, your flesh creeps

    High priests of holocaust, fire from the sea
    Nuclear winter spreading disease
    The day of final conflict
    All pay the price
    The third world war
    Rapes peace, takes life
    Back to the start, talk of the part
    When the Earth was cold as ice
    Total dismay as the sun passed away
    And the days where black as night

    Eradication of Earth's
    Population loves Polaris

    There you go.
