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
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
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
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
Timeless sleep
Has been upset
He awakens
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
He watches
Lurking beneath the
sea
Great Old One
Forbidden site
He searches
Hunter of the Shadows
is rising
Immortal
In madness You dwell.
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.
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 good-bye
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
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
Lie.

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
