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
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.
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.
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.
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

This song is about people worshipping the devil. They have a big ceremony where all sorts of immorality is going on, and they invite Satan and hope that he gives them his blessing. Instead, his demons rape and destroy the people and Satan takes their souls.
Awful interpretation. Demons always do the will of those who summon them. Any thought that invades, such as doing ill will to summoners, would happen because it is a thought process. As long as you believe in what you want the demon to do, it will do it. People like you are what is wrong with this world today.

fucking awesome riffs, WAY underrated
Mustaine was quoted as saying of these lyrics, "I had to jumble (the lyrics) up because it was a bona fide hex, so it was kind of like gobbledygook, unless you get lucky and you know something about witchcraft you're not going to be able to deduce what that spell is." Has anyone translated this?

RITUALISTIC SACRIFICE!!!! This song rocks so hard. Ritual by Master's Hammer is a fucking awesome Black Metal album. ^^
I’m not a big Megadeth fan but this is an awesome song. I love how original the song is. Their aren’t many song about devil worship. I intro and solo are breathtaking too. The “Sacrifice the virgins” line always makes me smile for some reason.
I agree with BadMagick. Looks like it's about a Satanic cult who sacrifices Bible-abiding Christians as offerings for the devil. They expect reward from Satan but instead they are double-crossed. Specifically, it sounds as if Satan turns them into his mindless slaves when they had expected to be followers of his but still have power and all of their normal mental capacities. That's my take on this one.
