Head Crusher Lyrics
It's time to take your last walk in this world
before your journey begins underground
But not before we torment you from your cell
Sent straight to hell, a short detour in between
Begging for mercy you're all alone
Unable to handle the pressure
Before its mortification
Now let the torture begin!
Death by the Head Crusher
Head Crusher!
Death by the Head Crusher
Ow!
The horrific torture device
for those who fail interrogation
The most painful technique ever known
People thirst for the worst, the skull's disintegration
Beaten, broken, in bloody wreck
Adding insult to injury
Heed the cast but it's much too late
Now let the torture begin!
Death by the Head Crusher
Head Crusher!
Death by the Head Crusher
On your knees prisoners, take your positions
Place your chin forward into the restraint
Your head slowly caves in from the compression
You'll faint to the black out from the infernal pain
Twisting, turning the giant screw
Your teeth are breaking loose
Crushed and splintering into your mouth
Winding down, cutting through
Like broken glass being chewed
Your fragmented skull and shattering bones
There's nothing you can do
before your journey begins underground
But not before we torment you from your cell
Sent straight to hell, a short detour in between
Begging for mercy you're all alone
Unable to handle the pressure
Before its mortification
Now let the torture begin!
Head Crusher!
Death by the Head Crusher
Ow!
for those who fail interrogation
The most painful technique ever known
People thirst for the worst, the skull's disintegration
Beaten, broken, in bloody wreck
Adding insult to injury
Heed the cast but it's much too late
Now let the torture begin!
Head Crusher!
Death by the Head Crusher
Place your chin forward into the restraint
Your head slowly caves in from the compression
You'll faint to the black out from the infernal pain
Your teeth are breaking loose
Crushed and splintering into your mouth
Winding down, cutting through
Like broken glass being chewed
Your fragmented skull and shattering bones
There's nothing you can do

Great song. Is this going to be the best album they've done since Countdown to Extinction?
I think the lyrics pretty much speak for themselves - They're about a torture device that was used in the Middle Ages, and that consists of a kind of iron helmet with a screw attached to the top of it placed on a pedestal on the ground. Criminals or war prisoners would place their heads inside the helmet, and their heads would slowly be compressed until they were completely crushed, either as an execution or to force a confession or secret from the prisoner.

I was reading a bit into a NWO conspiracy, which we have an idea Dave is familiar with. I was reading more so into Project blue beam and its doctrine of global enslavement. In project blue beam they mention that they would be putting anyone against the order of the one world govt under ground to be imprisoned. They would have new classes of prisoners and ones who are under healthier condition, will have their organs extracted for anyone who needs them on the surface, and then they would be kept alive by machines for the use of other organs....

Some of the lyrics here can sort of relate, Subliminal possibly using the mid-evil device in placement of such torture devices. If Dave was to flat out preach the entire "plans" in conspiracy. I think he would be in trouble :P But not sure if that magnitude of enslavement is ideal. But U.N symbols are on the artwork of his album, and as something bad. U.N is were the elitist high powers are.
love this song can't wait to hear the rest of the new album!
i had thought this was about abortions from the beginning of the song.
this song is AWESOME!!!!!!!!
I really do agree with Rusty Diamonds because especially the part that says "The horrific torture device for those who fail interrogation" easily points to the Spanish Inquisition who resorted to torture to extract confessions so I'm going to say that this is exactly what this song is about.
The music video is weird. Cause most Megadeth vids aren't.(sarcasm) The song is about how we, the "innocent", want to see the scum of society suffer. The worst deserve the worst, in a sense. That is what the video seems to be conveying.
i sing this song all the time ^___^

this is about a guy who is picked on in high school. in the end he turns to his mother.
The intro Kicks ass! Just rips right into the song, no messing around. Intro sounds a bit like Dave's solo in Burnt Ice which also kicks ass.
