Rust in Peace… Polaris” is the closing and titular track from Rust in Peace. At first, called “Child Saint,” it was written by Dave Mustaine before 1983, long before he had even formed Megadeth.

Rust in Peace


I was driving home from […] Lake Elsanon. I was tailgating somebody, racing down the freeway, and I saw this bumper sticker on their car and it said, you know, this tongue in cheek stuff like, ‘One nuclear bomb could ruin your whole day,’ and then I looked on the other side and it said, ‘May all your nuclear weapons rust in peace,’ and I’m going, ‘'Rust in Peace.’ Damn, that’s a good title.‘ And I’m thinking like, 'What do they mean, rust in peace?’ I could just see it now – all these warheads sitting there, stockpiled somewhere like seal beach, you know, all covered with rust and stuff with kids out there spray-painting the stuff, you know.

—Dave Mustaine


Polaris


The lyrics are from the point of view of a nuclear missile called Polaris. When the missile is launched, it will destroy many lives and maybe even terminate humanity, but the lyrics ultimately predict that there will be peace with the aphorism, “The warheads will all rust in peace”.

As soon as the fucking thing detonates, it discharges nuclear fallout. People think they can go underground and get away from it, but what happens when you come up. It’s still there. There is no safety.

—Dave Mustaine

Tremble you weakings, cower in fear
I am your ruler, land, sea and air
Immense in my girth, erect I stand tall
I am nuclear murderer I am Polaris
Ready to pounce at the touch of a button
My systems locked in on military gluttons
I rule on land, air and sea
Pass judgement on humanity
Winds blow from the bowels of hell
Will we give warnings, only time will tell
Satan rears his ugly head, to spit into the wind
I spread disease like a dog
Discharge my payload a mile high
Rotten egg air of death wrestles your nostrils
Launch the Polaris, the end doesn't scare us
When will this cease
THe warheads will all rust in peace
Bomb shelters filled to the brim
Survival such a silly whim
World leaders sell missiles cheap
Your stomach turns, your flesh creeps

High priests of holocaust, fire from the sea
Nuclear winter spreading disease
The day of final conflict
All pay the price
The third world war
Rapes peace, takes life
Back to the start, talk of the part
When the Earth was cold as ice
Total dismay as the sun passed away
And the days where black as night

Eradication of Earth's
Population loves Polaris

Versione italiana

Il titolo, RUST IN PEACE, è un gioco di parole tra "rest in peace" e "rust" che significa "ruggine"
ARRUGGINISCI IN PACE... SOLARIS

Tremate uomini deboli, resi piccoli dalla paura
Sono colui che regna su terra mare e aria
Immenso nella mia circonferenza, sono alto eretto
Sono un assassino nucleare, sono Polaris
Pronto a scagliarmi al tocco di un bottone
Il mio sistema è rinchiuso in una ghiottoneria militare
Domino sulla terra aria e mare
Pronuncio giudizi sull'umanità
Venti soffiano dalle viscere dell'inferno
Daremo l'allarme? Solo il tempo lo dirà
Satana solleva la sua brutta testa, per sputare nel vento
Diffondo malattie come un cane
Libero nell'aria il mio contenuto ad un miglio di altezza
L'aria marcia di morte farà a botte con le vostre narici
Lancia il Polaris, la fine non ci scoraggia
E quando cesserà
Le testate arrugginiranno tutte in pace
Rifugi colmi di bombe, la sopravvivenza è come una stupida chimera
I leaders mondiali vendono missili economici
Lo stomaco si rivolta, la carne trema

Supremo sacerdote dell'olocausto, fuoco dal mare
Inverno nucleare che diffonde malattie
Il giorno del conflitto finale tutti pagheranno lo scotto
La terza guerra mondiale violenta la pace, si impadronisce di vite
Si ritornerà all'inizio
Quando la terra era fredda come ghiaccio
Totale sgomento quando il sole morì e quando i giorni erano neri come la notte

Eradicazione della popolazione terrestre
La gente ama polaris
