Megadeth
Megadeth is an American thrash metal band from Los Angeles, California. The group was formed in 1983 by guitarist Dave Mustaine and bassist David Ellefson, shortly after Mustaine's dismissal from Metallica. A pioneer of the American thrash metal scene, the band is credited as one of the genre's "big four" with Anthrax, Metallica and Slayer, responsible for thrash metal's development and popularization. Megadeth plays in a technical style, featuring fast rhythm sections and complex arrangements; themes of death, war, politics and religion are prominent in the group's lyrics.
In 1985, the band released its debut album, Killing Is My Business... and Business Is Good!, on the independent label Combat Records. The album's moderate commercial success caught the attention of bigger labels, which led to Megadeth signing with Capitol Records. Their first major-label album, Peace Sells... but Who's Buying?, was released in 1986 and influenced the underground metal scene. Despite its prominence in thrash metal, frequent disputes between its members and substance abuse issues brought Megadeth negative publicity during this period.

Never Dead
the killers lie in wait for innocent blood
swallow the lives of harmless souls
walking a crooked path their wicked names will rise.
evil lives in the dark
its right to be feeling wrong
the torment never ends,
the fire that burns inside!
that's blistering their brains!
that's makes them sacrifice!
that's driving them insane!
trapped in this no mans land
where angels dare to tread
forever banned to the realms of the never dead!
there is no one you can trust upon this grave
die with those things with flu to sin
feeding all the wars
they'll feed up in the end
evil lives in the dark
its right to be feeling wrong
the torment never ends,
the fire that burns inside!
that's blistering their brains!
that's makes them sacrifice!
that's driving them insane!
trapped in this no mans land
where angels dare to tread
forever banned to the realms of the never dead!
dead swifts before you
to cross up to suicide
imagine builds up in your body
you will be dying
for the rest of your life
in the realms of the never dead!
the fire that burns inside!
that's blistering their brains!
that's makes them sacrifice!
that's driving them insane!
trapped in this no mans land
where angels dare to tread
