Last Rites / Loved to Deth Lyrics
[Part I: Last Rites]
[Instrumental]
[Guitar Solo]
[Part II: Loved to Deth]
[Intro]
Wow!
Whoa!
[Verse 1]
Your body's empty now as I hold you
Now you're gone, I miss you, but I told you
I remember bad times more than good
There's no coming back even if we could
[Chorus]
I loved you to death
I loved you to death
[Verse 2]
If I can't have you, then no one will
And since I won't, I'll have to kill
My only love, something I've never felt
Now you've gone to Heaven
And I'll burn in Hell!
[Chorus]
I loved you to death
I loved you to death
[Post-Chorus]
I, loved you, to death
I, loved you, to death
Whoa!
[Guitar Solo]
[Instrumental Break]
*Laughter*
[Bridge]
Oh, and now I'm down below, what do I see?
You didn't go to Heaven, you're down in Hell with me
[Verse 3]
And now you're coming back, "Baby, take me please"
I really think I would if you weren't such a sleaze
I loved you once, before you kept me on a string
I'd rather go without than take what you would bring
[Outro]
I loved you to death!
Whoa!

What did Megadeth say about "Last Rites / Loved to Deth"?
There was a really goofy guy that lived next to me that tried to show me how great he was on guitar. He merely ended up showing me what a kook he was, because he could never play the same thing twice; although he did show me this weird overhead technique, which I used in the beginning of this song....
What's the meaning of the lyrics?
The lyrical part of this song was written about Diana Aragon, a lovely creature that I thought that I would never be able to be with and I wrote my version of a love song about her. Simply stated; boy meets girl, boy falls in love with girl, girl doesn’t love boy, boy kills girl so no one else will...
What has David Ellefson said about the song?
I remember Dave was on a mission to write two new songs before our second string of concerts up in San Francisco in the spring of 1984. Having already made our debut there a few months prior he was determined to have new songs for the ravenous. fans and “Loved to Deth” was one of them. Dave original...
