             Battery
  (Hetfield,Ulrich)

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 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 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 me
  Battery
                                                    
  
  






                Master of Puppets
                (Hetfield, Ulrich, Burton, Hammett)

End of passion play, crumbling away
I'm your score 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 or 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
I will occupy
I will help you die
I will run through you
Now I rule you too

  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
       (Hetfield, Ulrich, Hammett)

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

  (Chorus)        


Now dead which eternal lie
Stranger eons death may be
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) 
          (Hetfield, Ulrich, Hammett)

Welcome to where time stands still
No one leaves and no one will
Moon is full, never seems the change
Just labeled mentally deranged
Dream the same thing every night
I see our freedom in my sight
No locked doors, no window 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 fears of what's out there
And cannot breathe the open air
Whispering 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
            (Hetfield, Ulrich, Hammett)

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
Victims of what said should be
A servant `till I fall

  Soldier boy, make of clay
  Now an empty shell
  Twenty one, only son
  But he served us well
  Bred to kill, not to care
  Do just as we say
  Finished here, greetings 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 machine gun fire, does nothing to me now
Sounding of the clock that ticks, get used to it
 somehow
More a man, more stripes on you bare, glory seeker
 trends
Bodies fill the fields I see
The slaughter never ends

  Soldier boy, make of clay
  Now an empty shell
  Twenty one, only son
  But he served us well
  Bred to kill, not to care
  Do just as we say
  Finished here, greetings 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 life off lying
Hell, hell is here
I was born for dying



      
Life planned out before my birth, nothing could I  say
Had no change 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, make of clay
  Now an empty shell
  Twenty one, only son
  But he served us well
  Bred to kill, not to care
  Do just as we say
  Finished here, greetings 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
 

            Leper Messiah
          (Hetfield, Ulrich)      

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 you life goodbye
  Send my 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 you sunday fix
Blind devotion came, rotting your brain
Chain, chain
Join to endless chain, taken by his glamour
Fame, fame
Infection in the game, stinking drunk with power
We see

  Time for lust, time for lie
  Time to kiss you life goodbye
  Send my 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 
 (Chorus)
Lie, lie, lie...

              Damage INC.
   (Hetfield, Ulrich, Burton, Hammett)

Dealing out the agony within
Gharging 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 job 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 my 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 endings 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
