Killing Is My Business... and Business Is Good! (1985)
Prepare the patients scalpTo peel awayMetal caps his earsHe'll hear not what we saySolid steel visorRiveted cross his eyesIron staples close his jawsSo no one hears his cries.
The Skull Beneath the Skin
Peace Sells... but Who's Buying (1986)
thumb|What do you mean, "I ain't kind"?I'm just not your kind.
Don't summon the devil,Don't call the priests,If you need the strength,The conjuring
The Conjuring
What do you mean, "I don't believe in God"?I talk to him every day.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 doAnd, what do you mean, "I don't pay my bills"?Why do you think I'm broke? Huh?
Peace Sells
Killer, intruder, homicidal manIf you see me coming run as fast as you canA bloodthirsty demon who's stalking the streetI hack up my victims like pieces of meat.Blood thirsty demon, sinister fiend,Bludgeonous slaughters, my evil deeds.
Good Mourning/Black Friday
A merciless butcher who lives undergroundI'm out to destroy and I will cut you down.

Take another drink and raise the last betsThink about my last wordsThey might be what I just said.

Military intelligence; two words combined that can't make sense.

Don't ask what you can do for your countryAsk what your county can do for you"
Take No Prisoners
I rule on land, air and seaPass judgment on humanityWinds blow from the bowels of hellWill we give warnings, only time will tell
Rust in Peace... Polaris
Launch the PolarisThe end doesn't scare usWhen will this ceaseThe warheads will all rust in peace!
Rust in Peace... Polaris
Countdown to Extinction (1992)
thumb|Just like the Pied Piper,led rats through the streets.We dance like marionettes,swaying to the symphony of destruction.
You take a mortal man, and put him in control.Watch him become a God, watch people's heads a roll.
Symphony of Destruction
Hello me, meet the real me.
Sweating Bullets
Feeling paranoid, true enemy or false friend?Anxiety's attacking me and my air is getting thinI'm in trouble for the things, I haven't got to yetI'm chomping at the bit and my palms are getting wet.
Sweating Bullets
Feeling claustrophobic, like the walls are closing inBlood stains on my hands and I don't know where I've beenI'm in trouble for the things, I haven't got to yetI'm sharpening the axe and my palms are getting wet.
Sweating Bullets
And when you kill a man, you're a murderer.Kill many, and you're a conqueror.Kill them all, you're a god.

Youthanasia (1994)

Train of Consequences
Don't remember where I wasI realized life was a gameThe more seriously I took thingsThe harder the rules became

My head is talking to me, I don't know what it needsBut the loudest voice is the one that I heed
Insomnia
My victims are rich or poor, young or old, strong or weakI cause millions of accidents, I am cancer in your bonesI fathered the lie, twist what you say, speak not the truthI am insidious, impartial, deep inside your chromosomes
Prince of Darkness
I am more powerful than all the armies of the worldI am more violent than violence, more deadly than deathI have destroyed more men than all the nation's warsI am relentless, unpredictable, waiting for your last breath
Prince of Darkness
I'll be there for you, when you walk through the fireI'll be there for you when the flames get higherWhen nothing fits, and nothing seems rightTo the very last breath of my lifeI'll be there for you
