Peace Sells.....Lyrics

Wake Up Dead 

(Music, Lyrics: Mustaine) 

I sneak in my own house 
It's four in the morning 
I've had too much to drink 
Said I was out with the boys 
I creep in my bedroom 
I slip into bed 
I know if I wake her 
I'll wake up dead 
I wonder, will she find out? 
About the other, other lover... 
Diana 
Wake up dead, you die 
Wake up dead and buried 
Wake up dead, you die 
Wake up dead 


The Conjuring 

(Music, Lyrics: Mustaine) 

Welcome to our sanguinary sect or worship 
Feel at home in our black conventicle 
As we anathmastise 
All those who oppose us 
Don't summon the devil, 
Don't call the priests 
If you need the strength, 
The conjuring, obey! 
Behold! The flames rise from the compass' cardinal points 
Burn the sacred oil, 
And with the ashes you'll annoint 
Arrange the symbols 
Of the wizard and magician. 
Light the candles, 
Place the parchment paper in position 
Between its leaves place 
The lash from a black cat's eye, 
A straw of a broom 
Fold, burn and centralize 
Don't summon the devil, 
Don't call the priests 
If you need the strength, 
The conjuring. 
I am the devil's advocate 
A salesman, if you will 
You know my name. 
I met your father years ago 
Gave him what he'd please 
He called my name, you'll do the same 
I'm claiming what is mine by right 
It's time to close the deal 
You're bought and sold, bought and sold 
Come join me in my infernal depths 
Mephisto's Hall of Fame 
I've got your soul, I've got your soul 
The conjuring. Obey! 


Peace Sells 

(Music, Lyrics: Mustaine) 

What do you mean, "I don't believe in God"? 
I talk to him everyday 
What do you mean, "I don't support your system"? 
I go to court when I have to 
What do you mean, "I can't get to work on time"? 
I got nothing better to do 
And, what do you mean, "I don't pay my bills"? 
Why do you think I'm broke? Huh? 
If there's a new way 
I'll be the first in line 
But it better work this time 
What do you mean, "I hurt your feelings"? 
I didn't know you had any feelings 
What do you mean, "I ain't kind"? 
Just not your kind 
What do you mean, "I couldn't be the President 
Of the United States of America"? 
Tell me something, it's still "We the people," right? 
If there's a new way 
I'll be the first in line 
But it better work this time 
Can we put a price on peace? 
Peace, 
Peace, peace sells... 
Peace sells... but who's buying? 
No, peace sells... 


Devil's Island 

(Music, Lyrics: Mustaine) 

The light that fill my lonely cell is blocked out by the key 
That locks the door to this hell, the place they wanted me 
Time's racing like the wind, execution's near 
Oh Lord, I wait for death, and yes, I have no fear 
I recall that night, my every breath, and step along the way 
Closed my eyes, walking, as danger paved the way 
The devil and the darkness let her evil wander free 
And here on Devil's Island, the final stop for me 
Devil's Island! 
Oh there's no escape, the sea is full of sharks 
The tides take you way and smash you on the rocks 
The sun is shining, but feel not today 
Its warmth, it's dying and fading away 
Devil's Island! 
Oh hear the call from the grave beyond 
Oh so pernicious, her could, it creates song 
As there is no man that is here upon the earth 
Able to terminate our noisome will since birth 
The priest that reads the sermons is walking next to me 
To the stake, my last request - to have her burn with me 
But so it did, the heavens opened, rain began to fall 
The final judgment came and was spread before you all 
Final Judgment! 
Old, weak, and feeble but the lesson taught to me 
To stay away from evil - she doesn't care for me 
She haunts me in my sleep though I tore that page away 
And here on Devil's Island, I'll always have to stay 
Devil's Island! 
Here I am 


Good Mourning/Black Friday 

(Music, Lyrics: Mustaine) 

Hey, I don't feel so good 
Something's not right 
Something's coming over me 
What the fuck is this? 

Killer, intruder, homicidal man 
If you see me coming run as fast as you can 
A blood thirsty demon who's stalking the street 
I hack up my victims like pieces of meat 
Blood thirsty demon, sinister fiend 
Bludgenous slaughters, my evil deeds 
My hammer's a cold piece of blood lethal steel 
I grin while you writhe with the pain that I deal 
Swinging the hammer, I hack through their heads 
Defiant defiler, you're next to be dead 
I unleash my hammer with sadistic intent 
Pounding, surrounding, slamming through your head, yeah 
Their bodies convulse in agony and pain 
I mangle their faces 'til no features remain 
A blade for the butchering, I cut them to shreds 
First take out the organs then cut off the head 
The remains of their flesh now sop under my feet 
One more bloody massacre, the murder's complete 
I seek to dismember, a sadist fiend 
And bloodbaths are my way of getting clean 
I lurk in the alleys, wait for the kill 
I have no remorse for the blood that I spill 
A merciless butcher who lives underground 
I'm out to destroy and I will cut you down 
I see you and I'm waiting for Black Friday 
Killer, intruder, homicidal man 
If you see me coming run as fast as you can 
A blood thirsty demon who's stalking the street 
I hack up my victims like pieces of meat 
I lurk in the alleys, wait for the kill 
I have no remorse for the blood that I spill 
A merciless butcher who lives underground 
I'm out to destroy and I will cut you down 
It's Black Friday, paint the devil on the wall 


Bad Omen 

(Music, Lyrics: Mustaine) 

Down fell the stars and they splashed in the sea 
"Mi nomine baphomet," come dance with me 
Sacrifice the virgins, spiritual rites 
Their master has come, the moon is full tonight 
Drinking, dancing, they worship and toast 
The Devil, who's watching, with demons remote 
Fire, rising, racing in your blood 
Possessed, naive, his service is done 
Bloody blasphemy 
Sinister's the word as the demons take their fill 
An orgy's taking place, human blood will spill 
And act of worship as they concieve the ghouls 
Satan has their souls, they sing pagan tunes 
The ceremony is sure to be cursed 
They wait for his blessing but down comes the worst 
Their bodies, souless, a corpse from the grave 
Their minds are helpless and no one can save them 
No one can save them 


I Ain't Superstitious 

(Music, Lyrics: Willie Dixon) 

I ain't superstitious when a black cat crosses my path 
And I ain't superstitious as I break the looking glass 
Ain't afraid of no demons, don't make me laugh 
I ain't superstitious, under the ladder I go 
I ain't superstitious, it's all bullshit don't you know? 
Ain't afraid of the shadows, I like the dark anyway, and that's a fact 
Superstitious 
I ain't superstitious, no such thing as bad luck 
I ain't superstitious, I couldn't really give a fuck 
Take your stupid superstitions and find some other 
Paranoidal, chickenshit, sissy, worm, and tell it to him 
Superstitious 


My Last Words 

(Music, Lyrics: Mustaine) 

My life's on time but again my sense is late 
Feel a might unsteady but I still have to play 
Six to one's the odds and we have the highest stakes 
And once again I gamble with my very life today 
Highly polished metal, the oil makes it gleam 
Fill the terror chamber, your mind begins to scream 
Your life is like a trigger, never troubled till you're squeezed 
You you crack a smile as you give the gun a squeeze 
Place the pistol down, now give the gun a spin 
Soon as the spinning stops, oh no, the game starts in 
A hateful way of vengeance, a bit of playful sin 
Load another bullets, now the second round begins 
A couple grains of power, a couple grams of lead 
A touch against the trigger, a touch inside the head 
Take another drink and raise the last bets 
Think about my last words, they might be what I just said 
A click comes from the hammer that couldn't drive a nail 
Sense the numbing cold blue or the red of Hades' grill 
A fraction of a second, do you lose or maybe still 
Pass it to the left and collect your mighty kill 
Add another bullet, the third round begins 
Soon as the spinning stops, oh no, the game starts in 
Please, no IOUs, no markers for death 
Does anybody play? Anybody? Somebody? Anybody play? 
You, you! Next victim! You, next to die. 
You, come on! Next vitim! You, next to die.
