    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 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
    
     [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 deaths 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
     Hybrid children watch the sea
     Pray for Father, roaming free
    
       [Chorus:]
    
       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
    
     [Chorus] 
    
     Not dead which eternal lie
     Stranger eons Death may die
     Drain you of your sanity
     Face The Thing That Should Not Be
    
     [Chorus]
    

    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
    
     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, molded 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
    
     
     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.
    
    

    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
    
     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]
