"Lying In State" is a song by American thrash metal band Megadeth.
[6] Mustaine also said about the song: "'Lying In State' part is a double entendre which I'm pretty familiar with doing.
But for me, since I watch a lot of political pundits to try to get inspiration for songs, I see when people are spinning stuff, and to me that's lying in state.
"[7] The music video for "Lying in State" features Megadeth mascot Vic Rattlehead rescuing a young boy from a graveyard,[8] while the band plays inside of a tomb.
Crushing riffs to go along with Chris Adler’s blitzkrieg double bass and a terrific vocal performance from Mustaine make “Lying In State” a standout track.
