Five Magics Lyrics
[Instrumental intro]
[Verse 1 / Guitar Solos: Marty Friedman]
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 fists
In velvet gloves of sin
Parade the grey-robed monks
The vestal virgins wheel the wyvern's in
[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Solo: Marty Friedman]
[Bridge]
Let the ceremony consecrate the marriage
Let me be the protégé of five magics
Give me alchemy, give me wizardry
Give me sorcery, thermatology
Electricity, magic if you please
Master all of these, bring him to his knees
[Chorus]
I master five magics
I master five magics
I master five magics
I master five magics
[Verse 2]
Possessed with Hellish torment (Possessed with Hellish torment)
I master magics "five" (I master magics "five")
Hunting the abyss lord (Hunting the abyss lord)
Only one will stay alive (Only one will stay alive)
He who lives by the sword (He who lives by the sword)
Will surely also die (Will surely also die)
He who lives in sin (He who lives in sin)
Will surely live the lie
[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Solo: Dave Mustaine]
Poison Was the Cure Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
A snake you were when we met
I loved you anyway
Pulling out your poisoned fangs
The venom never goes away
[Verse 3]
Serpent swims free in my blood
Dragons sleeping in my veins
Jackyl speaking with my tongue
Roach egg laying in my brain
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 4]
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 rockstar to a desk fool was my destiny, someone said
Love's a tide pool, taste the water, life's abundant
Taste me!
[Guitar Solo: Dave Mustaine]

Rust in Peace… Polaris Lyrics
[Part I: Rust in Peace]
[Verse 1]
"Tremble, you weaklings, cower in fear
I am your ruler - land, sea, and air
Immense in my girth, erect I stand tall
I am a nuclear murderer, I am Polaris"
Ready to pounce at the touch of a button
My system's locked in on military gluttons
I rule on land, air, and sea
I pass judgement on humanity
Winds blow from the bowels of Hell
Will we give warning? Only time will tell
Satan rears his ugly head
To spit into the wind
[Pre-Chorus]
I spread disease like a dog, discharge my payload
A mile high, rotten egg air of death wrestles your nostrils
I spread disease like a dog, discharge my payload
A mile high, rotten egg air of death wrestles your nostrils
[Chorus]
Launch the Polaris
The end doesn't scare us
When will this cease?
The warheads will all rust in peace
[Verse 2]
"Bomb shelters filled to the brim
Heh, survival, such a silly whim
World leaders sell missiles cheap
Your stomach turns, your flesh creeps"
I rule on land, air, and sea
Pass judgment on humanity
Winds blow from the bowels of Hell
Will we give warning? Only time will tell
[Pre-Chorus]
I spread disease like a dog, discharge my payload
A mile high, rotten egg air of death wrestles your nostrils
I spread disease like a dog, discharge my payload
A mile high, rotten egg air of death wrestles your nostrils
[Chorus]
Launch the Polaris
It doesn't scare us
When will this cease?
The warheads will all rust in peace
[Verse 3]
"High priest 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 were black as night
[Pre-Chorus]
I spread disease like a dog, discharge my payload
A mile high, rotten egg air of death wrestles your nostrils
I spread disease like a dog, discharge my payload
A mile high, rotten egg air of death wrestles your nostrils
[Chorus]
Launch the Polaris
It doesn't scare us
When will this cease?
The warheads will all rust in peace
[Part II: Polaris]
[Chorus]
Eradication of
Earth's population loves Polaris
Eradication of
Earth's population loves Polaris
[Guitar Solo]
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Eradication of
Earth's population loves Polaris
Eradication of
Earth's population loves Polaris
