Megadeth - Five Magics Lyrics






[Solo: Mustaine]

Bestow upon me magic
Wizard, all knowing, all wise

[Solo: Friedman]

I want to rule my kingdom
Make sweet the breeze that was defiled

[Solo: Friedman]

Dethrone the evil prince's iron fists
In velvet gloves of sin

[Solo: Friedman]

Parade the grey robed monks
The vestal virgins, wheel the wyvern's in

[Solo: Friedman]

[Solo: Friedman]

Let the ceremony consecrate the marriage
Let me be the protege of five magics

Give me alchemy, give me wizardry
Give me sorcery, thermatology
Electricity, magic if you please
Master all of these, bring him to his knees

I master five magics, I master five magics
I master five magics, I master five magics

Possessed with hellish torment, possessed with hellish torment
I master magics five, I master magics five
Hunting the abyss lord, hunting the abyss lord
Only one will stay alive, only one will stay alive
He who lives by the sword, he who lives by the sword
Will surely also die, will surely also die
He who lives in sin, he who lives in sin
Will surely live the lie

[Solo: Mustaine]

    This might sound crazy, but i have perfect pitch, and i always felt that e-Minor is brooding sort of sinister key (bright yellow). Well, the thing is, i noticed that the remaster version is tuned to standard A-440 hertz (which i always avoid in my instrument tunings). But the crazy thing is that the original here is actually set to Scientific Tuning (A-432, or C-256 depending on where you reference). So almost saying that, even though i like the tighter production value of the remaster, the original is actually being performed in what i consider Natural Tuning. Considering that this song is about magical and spiritual elements, i think attention to tuning is rather pertinent here, indeed.

  5. T.... N....

    Upbyours!!!

  6. S.... ....

    T H I G H M A S T E R

  7. D.... S....

    Thigh Master!

  8. D.... S....

    Makes me want to a shaman, mage or warlock for sure

    D.... S....

    Drop acid in the deserr man.

  9. A.... L....

    Metallica is the best band technically. Noooooooooooooobody call play any of Kirk Hammetts solos. They tried but failed miserably

    A.... L....

    Don't make me laugh dude in terms of instrument playing Metallica is no near Megadeth there are lots of people who can play a Hammett solo but there are very few people who can play a Marty Friedman solo without butchering it. Metallica only released 4 good albums and except for Risk all of Megadeth's album are good to Excellent

  10. c.... w....

    Master of Peace And Rust in Puppets are the best Slayer Album since Megatallicathraxyer

  11. J.... S....

    Even YouTube quality is better than the remaster.

  12. J.... B....

    Just like The Gardians of The Moon. You are Like The Sandman. I will make sure no one believes in you.

  13. g.... ....

    "demon" voice in this song sounds "cartoonish" in the remaster. Complete trash compared to awesome original

  14. B.... ....

    The guitar thrash orgasm in the last minute of this song is the platinum fucking standard of metal.

  15. J.... C....

    Best album cover ever... George H.W. Bush giving Vic Rattlehead his "David Coppafeel" look, while Vic holds the Time Stone up over some alien dude in an iron lung.

  16. E.... A....

    The remaster is shit
    Edit: damned autocorrect

  17. M.... M....

    Re-mastering was definitely NOT one of the five magics Dave mastered.

  18. V.... V....

    Hangar 18 first two solos, Holly Wars and 5 Magic outros are best metal work I've heard

    V.... V....

    and Tornado of Souls solo. That's just the best

  19. A.... A....

    Best of the song: explosive ending lol

  20. A.... A....

    Maruchan detected

  21. a.... w....

    song's amazing, no doubt. But i'm curious about the lyrics.. is it a reference to something? can someone point me to it??

    a.... w....

    No just about a guy asking a wizard for some sorcery.

    a.... w....

    The lyrics of this song are inspired by one of Mustaine's favorite book Master of the five magics

  22. O.... T....

    The Best part of song : 0:00 5:43

    THIs Songs about Dave dueling guitars with Lucifer .

  30. M.... N....

    I just bought a copy of the original CD pressing of RIP, this version of Five Magics sounds 10x better than the remastered version.

  31. c.... v....

    Fuck yeah!!! \m/ one of my favourites

  32. g.... v....

    4:50 grande tecnica

  33. S.... P....

    My neighbors called the cops and said I was playing this too loud. The cops arrived and heard the music. They arrested the neighbors.

  34. C.... X....

    Thank you. Now this is the song Five Magics. Tried to listen to a remastered version and was like WTF is this?? Mustaine's voice sounded like a strangled cat. This one he sounds raw and badass like he's supposed to.

  35. T.... S....

    I love original mix!!!! Not remaster!!!

  36. I.... M....

    I FEEL DAA POWAAAHH!!!

  37. J.... D....

  40. N.... M....

    Give me alchemy! 
    Give me sorcery!
    Give me wizardry! 
    Thermatology! 
    Electricity!
    Magic if you please

  41. B.... F....

    I could feel the recoil of the remaster in my spine so had to come here

  42. S.... ....

    THIIIIIGH MAS-TER!

  43. T.... W....

    Both Dave & David's vocal in this original record is just pure gold. RIP Menza

  44. H.... E....

    I Iove this song so much. The solos, fast riffs, shredding, Dave’s vocals, lyrics. Hands down best song on the album.

  45. J.... ....

    4:27
    Those breaks...

  46. Q.... ....

    Dave's voice is excellent !!! It's different , interesting , fits the spirit of Megadeth's music.

  47. C.... F....

    HEEEEAAAAVVVVVYYYY!

  48. M.... P....

    Easily one of the best Megadeth song. The ending is like FIVE kind of Magics.

  49. j.... ....

    Eargasm from start to finish

  50. J.... M....

    So. Fucking. Goode.................. Just, wow.

  51. L.... C....

    Am I the only one who feels hate when listen this?

  52. J.... M....

    Killing is my business-Raw
    Peace sells-Evil
    So far...so good...so what!-Fucked up in a good way
    Rust in Peace-Radiactive I must say

  53. l.... S....

    Is that Nixon on the far Right?

    l.... S....

    Bush Sr.

  54. T.... ....

    Bisto upon me, tasty.....

  55. S.... R....

    This does sound harder/faster than the remaster, including the vocals. In fact I'm not so sure it wasn't a re-recording rather than a remaster.

    S.... R....

    The vocals were rerecorded cuz they lost the original vocal tracks.

  56. M.... M....

    I'm so glad I bought an original copy of this back in 2003. Little did I know that a year later that disaster of a remastered version would replace this.

  57. D.... ....

    You fucking kidding me!! This is thrash at its best fucking insane shit going on here in this song!
    Megadeth is brutal.

  58. J.... ....

    The original version. ahhh thats better. Remastered is utter rubbish. This is what I bought on CD. Not to the song itself. Incredible. The first 4 solos from Marty are absolutely gobsmacking...

  59. I.... J....

    One of my fav megadeth song... Very underrated.

  60. T.... H....

    way better than the remastered version

  61. S.... C....

    That voice in the remastered is fucking awful

  62. B.... N....

    cryptkeepers fave

  63. C.... H....

    I love the call and response idea of mustaine singing a verse and freidman responding with a guitar solo/

  64. J.... B....

    Was there different vocals in the remastered version. I only have that one and this one has more high end on the vocals than the remastered version. Also the the deep vocals are different.

    J.... B....

    He had to completely re-do the vocals, and he's older and a bit worse now so yeah.

  65. P.... t....

    Once you hear this original version, youbcan never go back to the remastered one.

    P.... t....

    Best line up ever! an album that will last forever in time.The pinnacle of speed metal leads and a super charge for anyone needing a metal fix. Long live Megadeth 🤟🤟🤟🤟

    P.... t....

    So true, the remastered vocals sound so goofy in comparison.

  66. T.... ....

    This reminds me of death metal, AND THEN I SEE THE COVER AND START THINKING OF SKELETOR

  67. M.... C....

    This is definitely Dave mustains best guitar solo fucking raw energy and emotion just love how if unfolds after all the build up to it 🔥🔥🤟🤟

  68. E.... ....

    Cool stuff :)

  69. E.... T....

    The fucking drums are blowing my fucking mind...

  70. M.... X....

    anyone who disliked this song is a fucking moron with no musical ear.

  71. R.... R....

    I love how satanic this sounds

  72. S.... B....

    let them fuck in!

  73. M.... N....

    Rust in peace Nick.

  74. R.... ....

    People complain about the first line being wrong in the remastered, but at 3:21 in the remaster he gets the order wrong.




    Original:
    Give me alchemy!
    Give me wizardry!
    Give me sorcery!
    Thermatology!
    Electricity!
    Magic that you please,
    master all of these,
    bring him to his knees,
    I master five magics x4


    Remastered:
    Give me alchemy!
    Give me sorcery!
    Give me wizardry!
    Thermatology!
    Electricity!
    Master all of these,
    magic that you please,
    bring him to his knees,
    I master five magics x4

    R.... ....

    The line of the remastered version is the same as the Five Magics demo.

  75. J.... C....

    This is by far to me the best megadeath album out there

    J.... C....

    Rust in peace my friends

  76. �.... C....

    I grew up with the original. I can't except the remastered version. My brain denies it.

    �.... C....

    I think you mean accept. But i totally agree. I only like this version.

  77. J.... H....

    The ending solo is one of Mustaine's best solos

    J.... H....

    Josh Houston imo one of the best solos in all of metal! And I listen to lots of metal bands and it is easily in the the top 10 solos of all time!

    J.... H....

    Yeah, he had very few solos in this album but this one and the one in Lucretia's are awesome!

  78. B.... L....

    original better than remastered

  79. D.... S....

    Rust In Peace Nick Menza We all love you brother.....

  80. R.... L....

    Esta chida esta rola

  81. G.... M....

    Che bomba cazzo!

  82. A.... S....

    I got this album as a patch on my upcoming battle vest. Beautiful album. \m/

  83. T.... ....

    Megadeth practically make scientifically perfected thrash metal. Everything is so refined and precise.

    T.... ....

    Simply put, MEGADETH is the BEST BAND EVER!!!!🤘🤘🤘

  84. C.... ....

    That intro is great always loved Megadeth if I never heard them I wouldn't have descended into thrash.

  85. T.... ....

    Okay..coming from some1 whos bascally only ever heard the remaster of this song. The vocals in the original are far superior. Pretty sure thats the problem with the remaster..Im assuming anyway. Because sound wise the remaster is better. To bad they fucked the vocals so we couldnt get best of both worlds. I listened to this song 100s of times on the remaster so that version is the one that sounds normal to me. Im kinda glad for it too. With all the technology in todays sound and speakers its just better to have a higher quality song imo. But i wouldnt blame the people more familiar with this version for not accepting the remaster. dont get me wrong there.

  86. l.... s....

    Probably my favorite 'Deth song from Rust in Peace. RIP Nick Menza, you were a badass drummer.

  87. V.... m....

    I prefer the remaster but respect the original for the art it is.

  88. J.... K....

    They really butchered the remake of this song. None of the remakes were very good, but this one was particularly bad.

  89. m.... d....

    I like the original much better than remastered,I still have this on a cassette that I copied off a friends CD about 25 years ago and it still plays good.

  90. N.... P....

    This was one of the first songs I heard by Megadeth. This has been my favorite song and megadeth has been my favorite band ever since. God damn, goosebumps every time.

  91. J.... C....

    No shit nick Mena if you can hear this let the five magic Carrie you home see ya there friend

  92. T.... S....

    Probably my favorite Megadeth song, and one of the best thrash metal songs of all time

  93. r.... s....

    TAKE NO SHIT!

  94. G.... L....

    2 elements that's fine with me

  95. C.... ....

    3:42 It is me, or i just can hear before ''Five Magics'' Saying ''Landmaster?'' xD

    C.... ....

    CloudSmasher2000 "I've mastered...five magics"

    C.... ....

    He's saying I master

  96. M.... ....

    my rust in peace album fucks up at the first solo of this song...
