New World Order (Demo)Megadeth

Songwriter: Marty Friedman David Ellefson Nick Menza Dave Mustaine

Producer: Dave Mustaine

[Verse 1]
Where have the apostles gone?
Joining hands with wicked ones
Revelation has come to pass
New World Order will hold the mass

A book written by man
Used to control and command
All rights will be denied
Without the mark you shall die

[Chorus]
No confession, all is known (All is known)
New World Order, you shall be shown (Shall be shown)
No confession, all is known (All is known)
New World Order, you shall be shown

[Verse 2]
Monitoring all wages
New World Order comes in stages
Your currency is obsolete
Feel the agony of defeat

Symbol of society today
A must-have or you shall pay
As humans' flesh leads the mind
Just a pawn, last martyr dies

[Chorus]
No confession, all is known (All is known)
New World Order, you shall be shown (Shall be shown)
No confession, all is known (All is known)
New World Order, you shall be shown

[Outro]
Where have the apostles gone?
Joining hands with wicked ones
Revelation has come to pass
New World Order will hold the mass

Megadeth

After being kicked out of Metallica, Dave Mustaine decided to form a Thrash Metal band that not only rivaled his former band, but played faster, more technical Metal. Along with bassist David ‘Junior’ Ellefson and a revolving door of guitarists and drummers, Mustaine set the world afire as Megadeth became known as the world’s state-of-the-art Speed Metal band throughout the 80s and the early 90s. One of the Big Four of Thrash Metal, Megadeth remains one of Metal’s most popular acts today.

However, Dave Mustaine’s fledgling band got off to a shaky start. Initially unable to find like-minded individuals, it was not until an altercation with his (underage) downstairs neighbours Dave Ellefson and Greg Handevidt, that led to him buying them beer and forming the first incarnation of the band with drummer Dijon Carruthers in 1983.

The band was named after a political pamphlet that referred to a “megadeath” (one million deaths by nuclear explosion):
