《The Skull Beneath The Skin》是由Dave Mustaine作詞作曲，Megadeth演唱的歌曲，發行時間為1985年6月12日。
Mean and infectious, the evil prophets rise
Dance of the macabre as witches streak the sky
Decadent worship of black magic and sorcery
In the womb of the devil's dungeon, trapped without a plea
Seething in agony, necrosis is the fate
Pins sticking through the skin, the venom now sedates
Locked in a pillory, nowhere to be found
Screaming for your life, but no one hears a sound
Help me!
Prepare the patient's scalp to peel away
Metal caps his ears, he'll hear not what we say
Solid steel visor riveted 'cross his eyes
Iron staples close his jaws so no one hears his cries
The skull beneath this skin
The skull beneath this skin
The skull beneath...now you're drawn and quartered
Your bones will make the X, symbol stands for poison
And it's chained to your head as we fold your arms to make the holy cross
We cross the crucifix, religion has been lost
The skull beneath this skin
The skull beneath this skin
The skull beneath this skin
The skull beneath this skin
