MASTER OF PUPPETS

Battery



     Lashing out the action, returning the reaction 

     Weak are ripped and torn away 

     Hypnotizing power, crushing all that cower 

     Battery is here to stay 



          Smashing through the boundaries 

          lunacy has found me 

          cannot stop the Battery 

          Pounding out aggression 

          turns into obsession 

          cannot kill the Battery 



          Cannot kill the family 

          Battery is found in me 

            

          Battery 



     Crushing all deceivers, mashing non-believers 

     never ending potency 

     Hungry violence seeker, feeding off the weaker 

     Breeding on insanity 



          Smashing through the boundaries 

          lunacy has found me 

          cannot stop the Battery 

          Pounding out aggression 

          turns into obsession 

          cannot kill the Battery 



          Cannot kill the family 

          Battery is found in me 

            

          Battery 



     Circle of Destruction, Hammer comes crushing 

     Powerhouse of energy 

     Whipping up a fury, Dominating flurry 

     We create the Battery 



            

          Smashing through the boundaries 

          lunacy has found me 

          cannot stop the Battery 

          Pounding out aggression 

          turns into obsession 

          cannot kill the Battery 

            

          Cannot kill the family 

          Battery is found in me 

            

          Battery 



Master Of Puppets





     End of passion play, crumbling away 

     I'm your source of self-destruction 

     Veins that pump with fear, sucking darkest clear 

     Leading on your deaths construction 

     Taste me you will see 

     more is all you need 

     you're dedicated to 

     how I'm killing you 



          Come crawling faster 

          obey your Master 

          your life burns faster 

          obey your Master 

          Master 

          Master of Puppets I'm pulling your strings 

          twisting your mind and smashing your dreams 

          Blinded by me, you can't see a thing 

          Just call my name, `cause I'll hear you scream 

          Master 

          Master 

          Just call my name, `cause I'll hear you scream 

          Master 

          Master 



     Needlework the way, never you betray 

     life of death becoming clearer 

     Pain monopoly, ritual misery 

     chop your breakfast on a mirror 

     Taste me you will see 

     more is all you need 

     you're dedicated to 

     how I'm killing you 



          Come crawling faster 

          obey your Master 

          your life burns faster 

          obey your Master 

          Master 

          Master of Puppets I'm pulling your strings 

          twisting your mind and smashing your dreams 

          Blinded by me, you can't see a thing 

          Just call my name, `cause I'll hear you scream 

          Master 

          Master 

          Just call my name, `cause I'll hear you scream 

          Master 

          Master 



     Master, Master, Where's the dreams that I've been after? 

     Master, Master, You promised only lies 

     Laughter, Laughter, All I hear and see is laughter 

     Laughter, Laughter, laughing at my cries 

     Hell is worth all that, natural habitat 

     just a rhyme without a reason 

     Neverending maze, drift on numbered days 

     now your life is out of season 



          Come crawling faster 

          obey your Master 

          your life burns faster 

          obey your Master 

          Master 

          Master of Puppets I'm pulling your strings 

          twisting your mind and smashing your dreams 

          Blinded by me, you can't see a thing 

          Just call my name, `cause I'll hear you scream 

          Master 

          Master 

          Just call my name, `cause I'll hear you scream 

          Master 

          Master 



The Thing That Should Not Be





     Messenger of Fear in sight 

     Dark deception kills the light 

       

     Hybrid children watch the sea 

     Pray for Father, roaming free 



          fearless Wretch 

          insanity 

          He watches 

          lurking beneath the sea 

          great Old One 

          forbidden site 

          He searches 

          Hunter of the Shadows is rising 



               immortal 

               in madness You dwell 



     Crawling Chaos, underground 

     cult has summoned, twisted sound 

       

     Out from ruins once possessed 

     fallen city, living death

            

          fearless Wretch 

          insanity 

          He watches 

          lurking beneath the sea 

          great Old One 

          forbidden site 

          He searches 

          Hunter of the Shadows is rising 



               immortal 

               in madness You dwell 



     Not dead which eternal lie 

     stranger eons Death may die 

     drain you of your sanity 

     face The Thing That Should Not Be

            

          fearless Wretch 

          insanity

Welcome Home (Sanitarium)





     Welcome to where time stands still 

     no one leaves and no one will 

     Moon is full, never seems to change 

     just labeled mentally deranged 

     Dream the same thing every night 

     I see our freedom in my sight 

     No locked doors, No windows barred 

     No things to make my brain seem scarred 

       

     Sleep my friend and you will see 

     that dream is my reality 

     They keep me locked up in this cage 

     can't they see it's why my brain says Rage 



          Sanitarium, leave me be 

          Sanitarium, just leave me alone 



     Build my fear of what's out there 

     and cannot breathe the open air 

     Whisper things into my brain 

     assuring me that I'm insane 

     They think our heads are in their hands 

     but violent use brings violent plans 

     Keep him tied, it makes him well 

     he's getting better, can't you tell? 



     No more can they keep us in 

     Listen, damn it, we will win 

     They see it right, they see it well 

     but they think this saves us from our Hell 



          Sanitarium, leave me be 

          Sanitarium, just leave me alone 

          Sanitarium, just leave me alone 



     Fear of living on 

     natives getting restless now 

     Mutiny in the air 

     got some death to do 

     Mirror stares back hard 

     Kill, it's such a friendly word 

     seems the only way 

     for reaching out again. 



Disposable Heroes





     Bodies fill the fields I see, hungry heroes end 

     No one to play soldier now, no one to pretend 

     running blind through killing fields, bred to kill them all 

     Victim of what said should be 

     a servant `til I fall 



          Soldier boy, made of clay 

          now an empty shell 

          twenty one, only son 

          but he served us well 

          Bred to kill, not to care 

          just do as we say 

          finished here, Greeting Death 

          he's yours to take away 

            



          Back to the front 

          you will do what I say, when I say 

          Back to the front 

          you will die when I say, you must die 

          Back to the front 

          you coward 

          you servant 

          you blindman 



     Barking of machinegun fire, does nothing to me now 

     sounding of the clock that ticks, get used to it somehow 

     More a man, more stripes you bare, glory seeker trends 

     bodies fill the fields I see 

     the slaughter never ends 



 



          Soldier boy, made of clay 

          now an empty shell 

          twenty one, only son 

          but he served us well 

          Bred to kill, not to care 

          just do as we say 

          finished here, Greeting Death 

          he's yours to take away 

            



          Back to the front 

          you will do what I say, when I say 

          Back to the front 

          you will die when I say, you must die 

          Back to the front 

          you coward 

          you servant 

          you blindman 



     Why, Am I dying? 

     Kill, have no fear 

     Lie, live off lying 

     Hell, Hell is here 

       

     I was born for dying 

       

     Life planned out before my birth, nothing could I say 

     had no chance to see myself, molded day by day 

     Looking back I realize, nothing have I done 

     left to die with only friend 

     Alone I clench my gun 



          Soldier boy, made of clay 

          now an empty shell 

          twenty one, only son 

          but he served us well 

          Bred to kill, not to care 

          just do as we say 

          finished here, Greeting Death 

          he's yours to take away 

            



          Back to the front 

          you will do what I say, when I say 

          Back to the front 

          you will die when I say, you must die 

          Back to the front 

          you coward 

          you servant 

          you blindman 



Back to the front.



Lepher Messiah





     Spineless from the start, sucked into the part 

     circus comes to town, you play the lead clown 

     Please, please 

     spreading his disease, living by his story 

     Knees, knees 

     falling to your knees, suffer for his glory 

     You will 



          Time for lust, time for lie 

          time to kiss your life goodbye 

          Send me money, send me green 

          Heaven you will meet 

          Make a contribution 

          and you'll get a better seat 

          Bow to Leper Messiah 



     Marvel at his tricks, need your Sunday fix 

     blind devotion came, rotting your brain 

     Chain, chain 

     Join the endless chain 

     Fame, Fame 

     Infection is the game, stinking drunk with power 

     We see 



          Time for lust, time for lie 

          time to kiss your life goodbye 

          Send me money, send me green 

          Heaven you will meet 

          Make a contribution 

          and you'll get a better seat 

          Bow to Leper Messiah 



     Bow to Leper Messiah 

     Witchery, weakening 

     Sees the sheep are gathering 

     set the trap, hypnotize 

     now you follow 



          Time for lust, time for lie 

          time to kiss your life goodbye 

          Send me money, send me green 

          Heaven you will meet 

          Make a contribution 

          and you'll get a better seat 

          Bow to Leper Messiah 



     Lie.

Damage Inc.





     Dealing out the agony within 

     charging hard and no one's gonna give in 

     Living on your knees, conformity 

     or dying on your feet for honesty 

     Inbred, our bodies work as one 

     bloody, but never cry submission 

     Following our instinct not a trend 

     go against the grain until the end 



          Blood will follow blood 

          Dying time is here 

          Damage Incorporated 



     Slamming through, don't fuck with razorback 

     stepping out? You'll feel our hell on your back 

     Blood follows blood and we make sure 

     life ain't for you and we're the cure 

     Honesty is my only excuse 

     Try to rob us of it, but it's no use 

     Steamroller action crushing all 

     Victim is your name and you shall fall 



          Blood will follow blood 

          Dying time is here 

          Damage Incorporated 



     We chew and spit you out 

     we laugh, you scream and shout 

     All flee, with fear you run 

     You'll know just where we come from 



          Damage Incorporated 



     Damage jackals ripping right through you 

     sight and smell of this, it gets me goin' 

     Know just how to get just what we want 

     tear it from your soul in nightly hunt 

     Fuck it all and fucking no regrets 

     Never happy ending on these dark sets 

     All's fair for Damage Inc. you see 

     step a little closer if you please 



          Blood will follow blood 

          Dying time is here 

          Damage Incorporated
