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



 [chorus:]

   Smashing through the boundries

   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 Chorus]



 Crushing all deceivers, mashing non-believers

 never ending potency

 Hungry violence seeker, feeding off the weaker

 Breeding on insanity



 [Chorus]



 Circle of Destruction, Hammer comes crushing

 Powerhouse of energy

 Whipping up a fury, Dominating flurry

 We create the Battery



 [Chorus].



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 death's construction



 [Chorus:]

     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

 [End Chorus]



 Needlework the way, never you betray

 life of death becoming clearer

 Pain monopoly, ritual misery

 chop your breakfast on a mirror



 [Chorus]



 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



 [Chorus]

 [Fade out with evil laughter].



The Thing that Should Not Be

 Messenger of Fear in sight

 Dark deception kills the light



 Hybred 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 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



 [Chorus:]

    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

 [End Chorus]



 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



 [Chorus]



 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, moulded day by day

 Looking back I realize, nothing have I done

 left to die with only friend

 Alone I clench my gun



 [Chorus]



 Back to the front.



Leper 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



 [Chorus]

    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

 [End Chorus]



    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



 [Chorus]



    Bow to Leper Messiah



 Witchery, weakening

 Sees the sheep are gathering

 set the trap, hypnotize

 now you follow



 [Chorus]



    Lie.



Orion

(Instrumental)



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



 [Chorus:]

    Blood will follow blood

    Dying time is here

    Damage Incorporated

 [End Chorus]



 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



 [Chorus]



 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



 [Chorus].
