Bad Omen Lyrics

Artist: Megadeth
Album: Peace Sells But Who's Buying

Down fell the stars, as they
Splashed into the sea.
"Mi nomine Baphomet",
Come dance with me.
Sacrifice the virgins,
Spiritual rites.
Their master's time has come,
The moon is full tonight.

Drinking, dancing,
They worship, and toast
The devil, who's watching,
With demon's remote.
Fire, rising,
Racing in your blood.
Possessed, naive,
His service is done.

Bloody blasphemy.

Sinister's the word,
As the demon's take their fill.
An orgy's taking place,
Human blood will spill.
An act of worship,
As they conceive the ghouls.
Satan has their souls,
They sing pagan tunes.

The ceremony,
Is sure to be cursed.
They ask for his blessings,
But, down comes the worst.
Their bodies, soulless,
A corpse from the grave.
Their minds are helpless,
And, no-one can save
No-on can save them

Countdown to Extinction was the countdown to sell out. Thankfully they pulled out of it by getting rid of Elfman. MEGADETH RULES!

How is this NOT thrash? you've gotta be all screwed up in the head Mr. Anonymous. This came out during the height of Megadeth in the 80's... which for the record was nothing but thrash at its finest. I gotta say this is probably second next to a tie between Good Mourning/Black Friday and My Last Words... great album, how I wish I was alive back then.

The best song is My Last Words !!!

Chris, it was a blast >;) Saw them at Cincinnati Gardens, it was a riot. Right on about your picks. First album is great too. Looking Down the Cross (there's youtube lives), Mechanix..

This is what real thrash is made of, old school metallica,slayer,anthrax dayum that makes me want head bang, but lately metallica died after the black album, megadeths risk was wack, slayer ehh they stayed the same and anthrax I barely cared about, good thing End Game saved megadeth and WPB shows that slayer is still badass

agreed with most of the comments above, but decent thrash metal is still out there - check out Opeth, Nevermore, Revocation, Lamb of God

Erm... Opeth and Nevermore aren't thrash. Death and Progressive respectively. Try the newest Annihilator or Exodus... THAT'S thrash!

Countdown was a piece of crap in my opinion.

This song is about a curse being brought down that is mentioned in the devil's bible. Dave has admitted to doing black magic at one point "as you all know." And this song describes a man doing these "sadistic acts" and when he dies his family come together "They ask for his blessings" but are ignorant towards what he had practice during his life. On separate note, this album kicks your ass and makes you "shitface drunk."

did i just see some guy say anthrax wrote something anywhere near as good as ANYTHING off Peace Sells?

At the end he sings “No one can say what they know.” Because it’s a satanic ritual and if you tell anyone you die.
